Wife had a hard time getting on bed as bed is pretty high off the ground. Also airport shuttle person was not helpful at all; I had to load and unload all my luggage; open and close all doors of van (back door and side door) as employee was sitting in drivers seat.

Nice little get away spot. View was beautiful, beds and shower comfortable. We would have benefited from a pearing knife to cut our bagel and apple. One other suggestion is a taller faucet in one of the sinks to better wash dishes and fill water bottles. Great spot! I would highly recommend!

Beautiful home, they thought of everything when it comes to amenities too. Beds were super comfortable, we didn’t spend much time there, but felt very at peace, safe and comfortable. Great view also!

Kodiak is a great starting point for the more remote areas.
Kodiak is a great jumping off point for wilderness trips to fish and see the bears. We also took a rental car, VERY expensive, for a day to drive to the end of the island to see the whales. Not a lot to do in the city itself.
Kodiak is beautiful. The second day there it was overcast but otherwise sunny. I love the ocean and boats so it was nice to see both. Great fishing and just a pleasant place to relax.
Small population island but beautiful scenery.i loved it....
