Great spot in Kodiak to rent
Super stay, great view, small but you have everything you need as long as your not planning on cooking. We have rented this property twice in the past two years.

I love Kodiak! The VRBO I stayed at was so perfect for me. The location was great and it was right on the bay. The balcony was great to sit on and enjoy the beautiful weather and watch the boats going by and the float planes taking off. I would stay here again!

Awesome Kodiak Studio
Perfect studio set-up. Awesome view of the channel, easy walk into town. Quiet. Nice little deck. "Everything you need and nothing you don't." Would definitely recommend to a friend and plan to re-book on my next trip to Kodiak.

I loved this property and it was a perfect relaxing spot. I slept well and enjoyed the quiet. I highly recommend this place. If you stay here and have some mobility issues this may not be the best option. There are steep stairs and the bathtub has a higher ledge. Otherwise a beautiful location and plenty of places to walk for a great view. Please take advantage of Carol's Cab as well.

Delightful efficiency with a nice view.
We stayed 7 nights and overall, would rent again. The efficiency is well decorated, clean, comfortable bed with a nice view of the water, watching boats come and go from the balcony. The hot water is shared with the other Suite so there were times we had to wait to shower.

The lady is very unfriendly from the moment trying to get in the door. Paper thin wall that you can hear the people upstairs snore and fart. Very steep steps to get in and out of the place. The hot water won’t fill the tub so forget that too. Don’t waste your money

Perfect cozy retreat
The Mermaid’s Lair was a perfect getaway for me and my husband. We stayed 3 nights on a trip to Kodiak for golf and relaxation. We loved the view; the weather was perfect for sitting on the deck, and the room was comfortable and had everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great Stay
The view was lovely. Quiet setting. We enjoyed the fishing boats coming in and going out of harbor. There were also sea otters to entertain us. In our final 24 hours we saw few small whales and groups of sea lions passing by. The bed and the room comfortable. Fun to utilize the claw foot bathtub. It was an easy walk to and around town. We also walked across the Near Island bridge to take in some hiking. The owner was nice, available and helpful as needed.

Nice small apartment
Apartment was nice, clean and photos were accurate. The view is slightly obscured by some trees but still a good view. We saw a sea lion and lots of boats coming and going. My only suggestion would be to change the chairs on the deck to the taller chairs so you could easily see over the deck railing. I would go back.

Amazing Stay in Kodiak
We truly enjoyed the coziness of this rental. It has a lot of space for two. The bed is comfortable with nice linens. I love the view of the water just off the deck. Plenty of room to hang our clothes and a large dresser. I highly recommend staying at the Mermaid’s Lair…the theme was throughout the beautiful rental. There are stairs going down to the rental and a claw foot tub to climb in and out of. This could be a problem for a person with a physical disability. We are in our 60’s and it wasn’t a problem for us.

Survived the The 8.2!
The Mermaid Lair is absolutely stunning. The soak in the tub In the evenings and morning coffee overlooking the water was so very tranquil! Our stay was very relaxing and everything we hoped it would be aside from experiencing the 8.2 earthquake!! Wow! I guess we had the whole Alaskan experience this trip! Fishing was excellent! Captain Kevin of the Lucky 9 Charters did not disappoint! We took home over 100 pounds of fish! We also had time to take in a fun little hike ups to Termination Point! I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be back again!!

Perfect getaway!
Excellent views every morning of the boats coming into the harbor, quiet with the slow wake for boat speeds, great amenities: coffee, shampoo/ conditioner, eating utensils; our neighbors above us were not loud; the oak flooring helps cushion sounds and creates a beautiful atmosphere. I loved this mermaid lair location; excellent host, provided thorough check in info and pamphlets available for the finest adventures kodiak has to offer! This location is charming, quiet, and all the amenities of a home away from home!! Thank you:)!

Nothing like what was portrayed on the internet,no sound proofing.
The unit was nice enough but there was no breakfast of any kind ever offered.Access to the shoreline in the views was very limited and required having the owners get their dogs in beforehand.A coffee maker was in the room but was so dirty that no sensible person would have used it.Towards the end of our stay,someone occupied the unit above us,it was immediately obvious that there was zero sound proofing in the ceiling or front door.Our new neighbors were extremely inconsiderate and only spoke in "playground" voice levels and stomped around on the floor with their shoes on before 8:00 am.

We are so sorry you didn't enjoy your stay in our Mermaid's Lair. We stopped being a B&B a year ago, I am not sure why you thought we would serve breakfast? Our coffee maker is cleaned after every guest, and is a one cup with pod so not sure how it was perceived as dirty? The shoreline access is easily accessible by walking through our yard, we are careful with the dogs for everyone's safety and well being. Had I known the noise upstairs was bothersome we would have been happy to speak to our guests. Our primary concern is that you enjoy your stay.

Awesome View Vaction Rental lives up to it's name
Gina and Mike's Awesome View rental is located right on the Near Island Chanel, overlooking a grassed public park and walkway. We stayed in the Mermaid's Lair, the lower of two units they offer. Mermaids Lair was light, airy, warm, and comfortable. The room was very private, clean, and well-appointed. Gina and Mike have operated these units as a B&B in the past and offered continental breakfasts of fresh fruit, bagels, croissants, oatmeal, and granola. However, Gina mentioned that they might be be transitioning to more of a vacation rental format in the future and so you might want to ask about whether breakfasts are supplied. If not, there are some great options in the area. We recommend Monks Rock Coffee House. All of downtown Kodiak is within easy walking distance, with great access to the restaurants, brewery (the Kodiak Sarah Pale Ale was a favorite!), museums, National Wildlife Refuge Visitors Center, walking trails on Near Island, and the bustling commercial fishing harbor of Kodiak, the largest fishing fleet in Alaska. When we tired of seeing the sights around Kodiak, we enjoyed sitting on our private deck to watch fishing vessels arrive and leave from the harbor and follow float planes landing and taking off from Trident Basin on the other side of Near Island. And in the evening, once things has settled down, we enjoyed reading a book on the comfortable sofa in our room by a large window and listening to the soft bell of the No. "15" navigation buoy in the channel. Very relaxing. We enjoyed meeting Gina and Mike and highly recommend their place. We look forward to a return visit some day! Breck and Linda (Burlington, VT)

Perfect home away from home while visiting family!
The pictures of the apartment are representative of what I found. The pictures from the little porch and picture window do not do the actual view justice though! The bed was very comfortable. I slept very well. It is sufficiently furnished to have a light breakfast... small refrigerator, microwave, Keurig, toaster, plates, etc. Fresh pastries and fruit were supplied everyday. It is located within walking distance to downtown and to some good hiking on Near Island. I am certain that it represents one of the best bargains in the area. I would definitely book again!

Beautiful and relaxing B&B
I spent one night at Awesome Views B&B - I am in Kodiak for work, but planning when I can get back here for vacation. The B&B is located in a beautiful spot in Kodiak, close to food and shops, right on the water. We spent the evening sitting on the balcony drinking wine and watching pods of seals swimming back and forth. The room is clean and has everything you might need. Great place to stay!!

Beautiful accomodations in Kodiak!
I used the Mermaid's Lair as my home away from home while working in Kodiak for 2 weeks. The room is beautiful, and nothing can beat this view on the channel! Lots of privacy in a quiet location and close to town with a nice breakfast and comfy bed. Gina is a wonderful host - these are perfect accommodations for a short stay, or a long stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Awesome Views B&B! We had beautiful views of the water, saw tons of wildlife including sea otters, seals, sea lions, and eagles. We enjoyed it so much, we extended our stay another day. The room was very comfortable and clean. It's location is close enough to the downtown area to walk. We will stay here again!

Love the Mermaid's Lair
Traveled to Kodiak for work and loved my stay at the Mermaid's Lair. The room was decorated very nice, the view was fantastic, the bed was super comfortable and I appreciated all of the little extras. Gina couldn't have been more accommodating and nice. I will definitely book with Gina again when I return to Kodiak.
