About this house rental

Kenai Bluff House is located in downtown historic Kenai. The house was built in 1935, and bought by my grandparents in 1947. My dad was raised in this house! Of course, the house has been remodeled and has all the modern conveniences, but has a wonderful and rich family history. The home has four bedrooms and two bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen and plenty of room for your whole family.

The property has a large lawn and outdoor furniture for enjoying the stunning view of Cook Inlet. You can watch the fishing boats come and go with the tide. Eagles often land right on the lawn as they are out cruising for their next ocean meal.

Kenai is a small town and the “downtown” is quaint and quiet. The home is located at the end of a residential street. It is located next door to Erik Hansen Scout Park, a small community park and contains a bronze statue of a Boy Scout overlooking the Cook Inlet. Interpretive displays point out many physical features of the landscape and a memorial plaque is attached to the base of the statue. Park includes few trees, some shrubs, two flower gardens, and a gravel walkway leading to the bluff’s edge. This is a great area just to sit, relax and enjoy the extensive views over the lower Cook Inlet, tidal lands, and mouth of the Kenai River.

We are located within walking distance of the historical Russian Orthodox Church and Kenai Visitor and Convention Center which has a historical walking tour available within this area. This property is on the walking tour, as The Showalter House (#10) !!

There are several nice places to eat where you can walk as well.

Reasonable rates per night for four people. No separate cleaning fee. However, guests must not leave fish remains on property. Cleaning fee applies if fish remains are left on property.

Love the view, right on the bluff, overlooking the mouth of the Kenai River and ocean; plus mountains! Property is old, but very roomy and nice set up; it does need some minor maintenance, and it was sometimes difficult to get a response from owners when we had questions. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

Great location and plenty of room. Not nasty dirty but not as clean as it should be. We saw in guest book a baseball team eating three meals a day was here before us but some of the dirt was before them. I would stay again for location and split bedrooms were good for separating kids and us old folks.

Great house for 3 families (8 of us) to stay in. Space for every one to have their own space! Loved having a view of the water, the teens loved venturing down the road for beach access and checking the beaches for sea creatures during low tide. We had eagles fly by all the time and even have a couple stop in the yard. Thanks for sharing your house with us!!

This place was great. Not right on the shoreline like the pictures indicate, but really enjoyable. We had fires in the back yard fire pit and eagles land feet from us and what a great time. Highly recommend to stay here. Personally plan on another stay here. Thanks

The house had beautiful views and was spacious. It is an older home that could use some TLC though to make it truly exceptional. The kitchen was rather hit and miss on dishes. We also had some issues with the wifi but the owners were helpful getting it fixed when they were contacted. Overall I would recommend the location but some extra effort in the house would really make it Great!

Beautiful views!

This property is in a fantastic location, with the best views ever! The house is old but large and great for families or large groups. The kitchen is large but could use more consistency with dishes. The house does need some minor maintenance, and small fixes that would go a long way. We had a great time and really enjoyed the large yard, fire pit and especially the views.

This house was very "homey" with comfortable furnishing. The kitchen was large and well equipped. Nice views of the Kenai River and bay. It's central location was good for day trips to Homer and Seward. WIFI did not work for our entire stay. Tried several times to contact the property manager with no reply. Beds were a little too soft for us.

The house was very spacious. We loved that it had two bathrooms. That made it easy for our family to get ready each day. The view was beautiful! We loved sitting outside and watching the boats and fisherman each evening. We did have a few issues getting the TV to work and the internet was sort of on and off. The property manager was very good at resolving these issues. The house did not appear to have been dusted recently and the living room furniture was very uncomfortable—hard to get off of because you sink down into. All in all....the house fit all of our needs and was incredibly spacious.

We love the location and we’ve stayed here for 4 years now for a project. With that said, we’ve seen that zero of the money given to this rental goes back into the house. If you stay, bring everything you could imagine needing for cooking-there were plates, 2 bowls and about 3 cups and a handful of silverware. Zero grill tools and the tank was empty. 1 knife that cut like a butter knife. Baking sheets are non existent and the pans have seen better days. We arrived and did not have check in codes from the owners so we spent 3 hours locked out calling, texting, and emailing with zero response. We finally got ahold of an outside party who relunctantly gave us the code. The tv didn’t work, the house had 1 roll of toilet paper and zero trash bags and no outside trash can. Black out blinds only exist in 1 bedroom. The internet cut out after a week. Management desperately needs to put the smallest amount of effort back into the house. With that said, the house is spacious, clean, and relatively comfortable. The view could not get any better overlooking the river entrance. There is great quick access to the beach and the neighborhood is quiet. Everything you could need to access is within a mile. Thanks for having us.

The view was spectacular and convenient to everything Kenai and Homer. We were disappointed that the kitchen silverware, mugs, cutlery and glasses were limited. Having the washer and dryer was a big plus. We enjoyed our stay and the historical area.

There was plenty of rooms and space for our family reunion. The view was amazing, we were able to fish from the beach below, and the park next door was a bonus treat. We will definitely consider staying her again in the future.

The location on the bluff of the mouth of the Kenai River was amazing. The house is nice with a large entryway. We enjoyed the fire pit in the yard with wood available. Every day I walked down the nearby path to the beach. The kitchen and table were great and we appreciated the laundry room. Great trip! We would definitely stay here again.

Slept 5 adults and 6 kids with no problems at all! Views are AMAZING. Wish we could've stayed longer but only needed it for the weekend. Couldn't get the tv to catch anything but channel 2 but it made no difference to us since we weren't there much. Will absolutely be booking this next year.
