About this property

Awesome View Vacation Rentals: The Mermaid Lair

Owners Mike and Gina Friccero welcome you to the Awesome Views Vacation Rental: The Mermaid's Lair. Our top of the line beds and linens guarantee a good nights rest surrounded by beauty .Private parking/entry, with Ocean front Views that are unbeatable. Private deck with each room. Walking distance from town, museums shopping and restaurants. Good viewing for birds, sea lions and the occasional Killer Whale Pod that cruises by. Lovely sunrises over the Ocean, but remember this is the land of the midnight sun! Bring 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.
Please note: we are no longer a B&B and do not provide food service. Kodiak no longer has cable TV only streaming.
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. Claw foot Tub May Be Hard To Access For Seniors Bath. Oceanfront private room with bath. We don't feel this space is large enough for three adults, unless it's a family with adult or young child. Please note: this is a room, not an apartment and has a queen and single bed.
