The space This newly furnished 2 bedroom/1 bath home is equipped with all that you’ll need to make your stay a comfortable and convenient one.
Design is well-thought out and attention to detail lends to maximizing the utility of the home and a spacious feel.
Decor is neutral, tied together with a theme of relaxation and harmony.
The Saltwater View is the epitome of classic Kodiak and the perfect dichotomy! Outstandingly located in the heart of downtown, large picture windows frame iconic views such as the Russian Orthodox Church and the Near Island Bridge. The Saltwater is also a hidden gem of privacy, on Pillar Mountain, down a dirt road, offering a feeling of nostalgia & seclusion.
This unique home is set high up on a hill and has a large deck with outstanding views of town, Kodiak's bustling fishing port, snow-capped mountains & the ocean. This is the perfect place to read, relax or enjoy your coffee/glass of wine on sunny Kodiak days.
The relaxed breeze from the ocean, the unique views, bald eagles or deer in your yard create a truly restful wilderness retreat. Who knows you may even spot a Kodiak brown bear!
HUNTERS AND FISHERMAN: there is a deep freeze in the unit and a vacuum sealer is available upon request. You provide the bags (available at Walmart).

Comfortable and quiet place very close to town. Host was amazing. Great communication, very responsive, flexible to our needs.Note that this property is up a steep gravel driveway. Very stable and well maintained, but we has two people in our party in their 60s, and we did not have a car. The hill was a challenge. If you have a car, or are younger, it is not a problem at all. Beautiful view from the house too.

Liked: Check-in, communication
Unfortunately we did not even stay at the property because the Ferry from Homer broke down on the day we were to go. Although the time for a refund had passed Robert was very responsive and helpful and was able to give us a full refund. I would and will stay at this place if we ever get a chance to go to Kodiak Island again
