About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beach and Ocean View • Family Friendly • Mouth of the Kenai River

An original home built in Old Town Kenai, Jetty Petersen's historic hand-hewn log home with dovetailed corners was built in 1940 and is on the Alaska historical registry.

With an original exterior and completely remodeled interior, this home has spectacular and unobstructed views. Views of the world-famous Kenai River, the Pacific Ocean’s Cook Inlet beach, and the active volcano, Mount Redoubt, can all be seen from the four large picture windows of the living area. Eagles, beluga whales, and seals as well as the many fishing fleets are a few sites seen from this charming beach home. This is a great place for dip-netting season; view the fishing taking place from the comfort of home, or take a short walk down to the mouth of the river and be in the center of it all.

Historical Old Town is a walk back in time. The Kenai Visitors Natural History Museum, open-air Saturday Market, and many places to eat are all within walking distance.

Unbelievable view. Beautiful house
The house was perfect for our small group. The host was very responsive, when the barbecue didn't work she brought us a brand new one! We grilled our freshly caught salmon and halibut. We had a wonderful week, thank you!

Amazing Property and Amazing Experience!
This house is truly a gem. We stayed here in a family fishing trip and it was the perfect place to come to. Beautiful kitchen, gorgeous windows with natural light, and a great refuge after a long day. I Would recommend this house to anyone and the check in and communication from the owners was outstanding.

Amazing ocean view home
They were so accommodating with a little earlier arrival time with us. We were only there one night but it’s the cutest place I’ve ever stayed at! Loved the remodel of the house. And the views out the windows were amazing. You’re kinda in a fish bowl with everyone around you so be careful when getting dressed! Very clean, had everything we needed. Would recommend this house.

Fantastic Location
We absolutely loved our stay. The house has the best view of the ocean. It was a joy to watch the tides each day. The house was perfect for our large family - plenty of room and so many extra touches by the owner. This would be my only choice for staying in Kenai. Can’t wait to visit again!

50th Anniversary Celabration
This was our parents 50th wedding anniversary celebration and our daughters 16 Birthday. The home was a perfect setting for this leg of our trip. It was so well appointed with everything you could need to be able to cook at the house. The views are breathtaking and pictures do not do it justice. I love the history of the home as well. Amanda was great with communication. I recommend this home to anyone wanting to get away and unwind in a beautiful setting. Could not have been a better vacation. Thank you Amanda!!
