About this property
Humble Harborview Home in Kodiak
Imagine a private escape on an Alaskan island where virtuous mountains meet perilous sea, the people are real and seafood is fresh. Find a remarkable place to lay your head amidst your wildest imaginations. This home was built in the 1940’s and located in the close knit neighborhood along the hill above town. A generous number of stairs takes you to a million dollar view. Kick back on the deck, inhale the fresh sea air while capturing dramatic scenery. Enjoy town life and an active fishing port, or warm-up in the small, cozy, crooked but functional home that might remind you of the 'Old Village'.
The space
A small one-bedroom has 2 single luxurious, down comforter, foam beds, a cozy couch, a big kitchen, shower, washer, dryer and last but not least a great deck to soak in the fresh air.
Guest access
The whole house is yours. Enjoy.
You will also have pretty close neighbors, locals from around town and they are quiet.
Other things to note
There are about 35 steps up to the place, so packing lighter might be considered. Parking is on Cope Street and there are some houses with the same address, so I will give you plenty of instructions to avoid confusion.

About the host
Hosted by Tonya
My name is Tonya and I'm a lifelong resident of Kodiak. I love our island and all it has to offer in adventure, scenery, recreation and the splendor of its wildness. I have a long family history here and wish to pass on to you the traditional hospitality shared by my ancestors back when Kodiak was a small village. I'm well travelled around the island from fishing and work in all the village communities and many other remote places.
Why they chose this property
I run 2 sister properties next to each other. They are both old, small villages houses, upkept and in the heart of town overlooking the boat harbor. They are great BnBs for their size, location, and convenience.
What makes this property unique
A deck with a grill and a view is one of the highlights of Old Hillcrest. Private parking, convenient location and the ability to walk to downtown amenities are some other benefits. The home offers 2 luxury beds, a full kitchen with coffee, tea, assorted breakfast options, and a comfortable living room.
