Mike and Gina Friccero purchased this studio in 1998
The views are spectacular, the location is convenient. Each room has private deck overlooking the ocean. Children are welcome! Perfect accommodations for the executive traveling for business or the family vacation. Romantic for couples, too!
Wildlife..we have Sea Lions, otters and the occasional whale right out front! Not to mention many different birds....our favorite are the Eagles that soar out front every Spring.
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)
Charming private space. Well appointed and cared for. Incredible location and view. Congenital hostesses.
Loved the location, close to everything. Did not have a car and it did not matter. The view out the window was Awesome. Comfortable bed. Loved coming back each day to find all of the treats left in the room for breakfast. Highly recommend
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!
Enjoyed the view!!! Watching the eagles, seals & tides. Will definitely tell my friends about this 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!!
Birdwatchers will love the location. It is convenient, romantic and decorated with lovely art. The linens and towels are top of the line. Walking distance to town, museums, restaurants this family friendly (or romantic) spot is perfect for the weary traveler to relax and enjoy all that Kodiak has to offer.
