Featuring the work of local artist Alvin Amason, this is the perfect accommodation for the traveling executive, romantic couple or family. This efficiency has private parking/entry, with Ocean Views that are unbeatable. Upstairs Captains Quarters has separate Shower and private Loo, Enjoy ocean front views from your own private deck. Walking distance from town, museums shopping and restaurants. Good viewing for birds, sea lions and the occasional Killer Whale Pod. Lovely sunrises over the ocean, but remember this is the land of the midnight sun! Bring a sleep mask if overly light sensitive. Recommended to bring warm clothes even in summer. Lightweight rain gear is a good thing to include in your pack. Children are welcome. Our home is on a park strip that offers plenty of room for kids to run and play. Within walking distance of public pool, High School and the bridge to Near Island. Please note: We are no longer a B&B and do not provide food service.

The Captains Quarters was nestled away in a perfect location near downtown with a view I could drink up all day. Mike & Gina were welcoming and available for all questions & needs. I’d be honored to stay at their place again.
Staying at Capitans Quarters was so much fun as we could see the fishing boats coming in an out. The place is very nice and cozy and close to restaurants and other activities. My husband and I certainly enjoyed it.
Having coffee on the deck overlooking the bay was a highlight every morning and drinks in the evening.
Place was very clean and hosts were very responsive. Highly recommend to anyone coming to Kodiak.
Small place, just enough for two adults. The views are gorgeous and the parking is quite convenient.
Very clean and cozy. Communication with the host was efficient.
We really enjoyed our stay!
The check in process is the easiest there is. We were extremely happy with the views and the cleanliness of our rental. The only negative I can say is we didn't get to spend more time there. We will definitely be booking this place many more times.
Captain's Quarters is a lovely studio room with just wonderful views over the water. It is just big enough for 2 adults,but no more. It worked perfect for our 7 night stay. It is within walking distance to everything to do downtown and if you don't mind a longer walk,you can even get to Safeway and Walmart. It's an easy 7 minute drive to Abercrombie State Park and other nearby trails, and also close to Near Island, which you can see from the deck. We really enjoyed our stay!
This room is absolutely gorgeous with an even more gorgeous view. I stayed with my husband and it was perfect for the two of us. It’s not a large room but for just two people and a place to lay your head at night it’s perfect. It was very clean, came stocked with coffee, basic kitchen utensils, mini fridge and microwave. This was my first trip to Kodiak Island and staying here set the bar high. I highly recommend.
This place has such an amazing view. Very comfortable place to wake up in. Have the best view to sit and have a cup of coffee and start your day. The only thing I would change is maybe a little bit more soundproofing from the clients downstairs. The first evening there were some louder clients downstairs. Understandably there's nothing the host can really do about it. Just unfortunate some people are louder than others.

Howdy … I thought your place was ok. The view was beautiful. The bed was very comfortable. Would be nice to have enough hot water for two persons to take a shower without having to wait over an hour between each one. Toilet elevated from floor level was not ideal. Not enough counter space. Need to just use paper products - washing dishes in the bathroom sink was not ideal either. We ran out of toilet paper. There wasn’t much on the initial roll. I am sure our host would have been happy to get us more but we just got extra when we were at the store. For a one night stay, this place would be better than a full 7 days.

POSITIVES:
- Clean!
- Host is quick to respond and to addresses your concerns.
- Location is great (easy, safe ~15 min walk to downtown Kodiak, quick drive to Safeway/Walmart and ~9-10 mins drive to ADQ).
- Parking is super-convenient to your unit.
- The view is nice but, even better, the back"yard" is really quiet/serene so sitting on the balcony is peaceful.
NEGATIVES:
- Really odd floor layout which is not at all conducive to privacy, convenience, relaxing or even really enjoying the view (from indoors).
- Noise from downstairs units undermines privacy. Owners live right downstairs and we often heard them speaking loudly on speaker phone. This constant reminder that there are people through a very thin floor took away our sense of privacy. Also, we could hear lots of noise from the rental unit directly below. Someone was banging/slamming and dragging things early on Saturday morning; Host's unapologetic response: "Probably downstairs guests scrambling for airport". It ruined our Saturday morning.
- No shade/curtain on large glass panel on front door so anyone that walks up to the unit can see straight into your space through to balcony.
- Furniture is uncomfortable: deck chairs are for sitting (not relaxing), mini sleeper sofa takes up a huge amount of floorspace but not comfortable for sitting (it slopes weirdly), rolling kitchen countertop too crowded to be used as a table, mattress is too soft.
This was the perfect location, easy walking distance to the town. Could spend hours sitting on the balcony and watching boats and wildlife go by. Just lovely.
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!
