About this property

Apt-suite on the ocean in Kodiak, Alaska--Gardens, boats, eagles--Since 2008

Located in a quiet neighborhood (with the ocean on one side and trees and city park on the other) just 1/2 mile north of downtown Kodiak, our property overlooks the entrance channel to Kodiak's largest boat harbor--Home to many of the 'Deadliest Catch' boats.

Just minutes from downtown Kodiak. Our home faces due south, so you are blessed with spectacular views of the ocean. Relax with a cup of tea and watch the sunrise. Boats cruise by, along with sea otters, eagles, sea lions--even leaping salmon.

The property is surrounded by vegetable and flower gardens, including the elusive Himalayan blue poppy. Throughout our home, you'll discover many examples of Marion's artwork, including photographs (printed on metal) and mosaic pieces. It's not unusual to hear bald eagles screeching nearby or 'exhale puffs' from sea lions, humpback whales, or orca whales as they swim by.

The apartment suite has a private entrance and consists of 3 bedrooms: A bedroom with a queen-sized bed, and 2 rooms with 2 single beds in the rooms. The rooms with single beds also have a nice vanity area which includes a sink and a large, multi-use counter. The color scheme is natural and inviting, and each room is decorated with a mural., painted by the Kodiak Art Club.

The rooms have access to a common lounge and dining area and a completely stocked kitchen--this is where you'll find our homemade granola. We're happy to share the recipe. (Many guests say it's the best they've ever had.)

The shower, sink/washroom, and toilet are all conveniently located in separate rooms. This apartment suite is an ideal arrangement for independent travelers, business folks, family vacationers, or groups.

We invite you to visit Kodiak's Cliff House B&B: Renew where nature meets hospitality.

A Serendipitous experience in Kodiak

My wife and I have just returned from a 5 night stay at this property. It was all we could have hoped for and more. The views are spectacular, the furnishings are upscale and the hospitality couldn't have been better. We highly recommend a stay there.

Amazing views and awesome hosts!

Marion and Marty were great hosts (enjoyed the homemade granola and cranberries!) and the property was perfect for our stay of 4 adults with lots of space. We enjoyed the water view and had an eagle outside one of the bedroom windows almost every day. The location of the property is a good central location making it easy to get anywhere quickly. We will definitely be back and look forward to seeing Marion & Marty again.

It was clean and somewhat comfortable. I was confused about the only one load of laundry rule. It wasn't listed in the many rules when I read them. I separate my laundry from darks and lights, never washing jeans with delicates. So that was confusing. In the future I will only rent a private home, not a b & b.

Sorry for any misunderstanding. We are happy to allow guests to do laundry -- and more than one load. We do request however, because utilities are expensive in Kodiak, Alaska, that guests run FULL loads of laundry, not small loads of just a few items. Happy travels!

When you're there you feel like you are family.

Stayed at the property for a week. Marion was easily accessible through text and emails and responded promptly. She gave great information about local events and places to see in Kodiak Property was clean and well kept. Kitchen was stocked with basic breakfast items. Everybody loved Marion's granola. We also loved her puffin pictures and as we thumbed through one of the books realized that she was a professional photographer. The garden was beautiful. There's a huge variety of flowering plants and greens. You can get some tips by subscribing to her Youtube channel. Marion offered salad greens but were not able to take advantage because we were always on the go. We had a good view of the river from inside and an even awesome view from the deck and garden. Marion was very friendly and accommodating. We felt like we were family. We left Kodiak with many fond memories taking with us some of Marion's granola and a filet of smoked salmon which she generously provided. :-)

We so enjoyed Mario and his family. They were neat, tidy and curious about Kodiak and what to do. They were really busy, which was great, But it was sad to see them go, as they felt like family. I hope all property owners are blessed with guests like Mario and his fam!

The living space was thoughtful and comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the homemade granola, the opportunities for our kids to do some art, and the genuine conversations with our hosts. The is one of the best rental experiences we have had on any of our travels.

Great Stay

This place is really great, we got lucky with really nice weather but it would have been pretty cramped with 2 small kids if the weather wouldn't have cooperated. There isn't anywhere to really sit other than the dining room table and beds. The owners are really nice and accessible and my kids loved going through the hoop house and garden. My kids were still in school and were supposed to be attending classes but the information sheet said to please not stream anything on the internet so we missed a bunch of classes. Not a huge deal, but don't expect to have strong internet - I had to work during the trip and found it challenging to attend meetings as well. The deck in the picture is also not attached to this listing, it is the owners deck. It is open for use but I found the listing a little bit unclear in that regard. Overall, this is a great place and I would stay there again. Thank you so much for the stay, we really enjoyed it.

Hi Abby, we apologize for any inconvenience regarding "streaming" online. We encourage people to not stream too much (as in movie after movie) because it affects everyone on the property. That said, I wish you had asked about your need for your kids to stream classes. All in all, thank you for staying with us. Have a great summer.

A piece of Paradise

The generosity and grace of host Marion Owen is unparalleled! Marion & Marty have a magical spot on the edge of the channel, with a beautiful flower and vegetable garden and the house filled with 35 years of Marion's incredible photos. Recharge on the deck while watching birds, boats, floatplanes, or take a walk to the beach or town. I grew up in Kodiak and my family is still there, and I will be back to stay at the Cliff House!

Alejandro G.

Property is described as 4 Br and 2BH -- it is 3Br, and ONLY 1 bathroom.

We were a party of 6, 2 couples and two singles; we selected the property because of the 4 bedrooms, and were willing to tolerate TWO bathroom -- because there were no option with 3 Bathroom. Finding out that it was only a 1 bathroom (one shower, and one toilet) was a big disappointment and very inconvenient -- We decided to put up with the issue and look to enjoy all other activities in Kodiak. I have used many Vacation Rentals properties in many parts of the world; this is the only time that the property description is different from the actual property. HomeAway/VRBO should not allow this to happen. The owner said that they have never realized that the description in the HomeAway/VRBO site was not the actual 3 bedroom and 1 bathroom, and that no other customer had complained. I have to say that the owner did offer a money compensation, which I dint accept because that wouldn't solve the problem. Hopefully this review will force the owners and HomeAway/VRBO to correct the description.

We could have moved in permanently

Our family of six includes 4 daughters ages 16-22. We arrived in Kodiak late on a Saturday evening to find the apartment clean and inviting, exactly as we anticipated. Marion was there to greet us and show us where things were. The bedrooms were cozy and well represented by the photos on this site. The kitchen and living area were comfortable and the fridge was stocked. Marion loves to bake surprises and more than once we were rewarded with goodies when we returned from our days events. This apartment was the perfect place for us to get away and relax for a week while we tried to "live like the locals". I'm afraid we did sort of stand out in a good way though, and when asked where we were staying we proudly said "we are staying with Marion and Marty Owen". That information was invariably met with admiration and comments like "then you are well cared for!". The Owens are superb hosts and made us feel extremely welcome.They were never intrusive but were always very ready to answer questions and give suggestions. Mornings as we were getting ready to leave Marion would pull out one of her waterproof Kodiak maps and point out things to see and places to go along the way and then would fold the map and tell me to take it with me, "but be sure to bring it back" was always part of the instructions. She needs these maps to send with future guests. I liked the map so much that after returning hers I went down to the Visitors Center and purchased one of my own. While on Kodiak we enjoyed walking to downtown from this property. The highlights included Sea Hawk air flight out to see the bears , as well as a dinner cruise on the yacht owned by Marty and Marion. One daughter and I were able to spend some time going out with Marion to photograph landscapes and wildflowers,this is very worthwhile if you are serious about learning to improve your photography skills. There are countless beautiful places to hike and take pictures. Be sure to go to the WW II museum at Fort Abercrombie State Park. Recommended places to eat include Henry's Great Alaskan Restaurant for a sit down dinner. Java Flats has wonderful sandwiches and beverages and cookies in a very quaint and beautiful setting. Monk's Rock Coffee House is excellent for soup, salad, coffee, tea and pastries. Sparrows has wonderful pizza, if the restaurant is crowded then take it back to the apartment you will be glad you did. We were so happy with our week on Kodiak and staying in this property was the best part.

Exceptional B&B

My wife and I do not normally stay in B&B's. Comfort and privacy, and alergy to feathers usually means we try to stay in nicer hotels. We were traveling with 2 other couples and the Cliff House B&B was highly recommended by the great folks at Sea Hawk Air. We took a chance and were very glad we did. Super clean rooms, privacy for all six of us, great granola, fresh baked cookies and muffins, fruit. Marion was extremely helpful. Made late dinner reservations, secured the only rental van on the island, and gave great tips on sites to see. Had a great time in Kodiak and will certainly go back and will certainly stay with Marion and Marty. Now our B&B issue will be to find one as great as this one!

About the host

Hosted by Marion and Marty Owen

Host profile image
Marty and Marion Owen are long-time residents of Kodiak, Alaska. Marty is the local harbormaster for the City of Kodiak. His family roots go back to the 1930's, which means he has lots of stories. Marion is an award-winning, professional photographer with over 25 years of published images.

A chef, writer, and passionate gardener, she also co-authored the New York Times bestseller, Chicken Soup for the Gardener's Soul. She teaches online classes, has a YouTube channel, and writes a weekly garden column.

Best of all, they enjoy showing guests the best of Kodiak Island.

Why they chose this property

Though Alaska is the largest state in the U.S., when it comes to friendly and helpful people, it's the smallest, in that you are part of an extended family no matter where you go. That said, we love Kodiak Island and enjoy living by the ocean. So after waiting 38 years for this property, we built our home with guests' needs in mind: Pleasant views through big windows, peace and quiet, great food. Renew where nature meets hospitality.

What makes this property unique

It's a 10-minute walk from downtown Kodiak, a bustling, year-round community based on the commercial fishing industry. We have lived in Kodiak for many years, thus we know the ins and outs of the area and can help with your vacation plans.
