This townhome is second story level, accessible by a covered exterior staircase. Four separate townhome units comprise this complex. Guests in this fourplex will be your neighbors. These townhomes share a communal yard, patio area with BBQ grill and picnic tables (available in the summer months). Guests often gather in the picnic area to savor the flavors of fresh-caught halibut and salmon sizzling in savory sauces.

Our bookshelves feature books and guidebooks about fishing in Alaska. Our coffee-table with map of the Kenai Peninsula, and shower curtain featuring bold images of a bear and salmon are just a few examples of eye-catching fish-themed conversation pieces!

Because this is a multiplex, with four townhomes, we’ve made it easy for guests to identify the “Fishy-Fishy” unit with a colored front door! The front door to “Fishy-Fishy” Townhome is painted blue. We chose a glacial blue color theme for this townhome to celebrate the dazzling turquoise-blue of the Kenai River and Alaska waters.
There is a designated parking spot and plenty of street parking. This is an older building and sometimes the pipes rattle and gurgle when heating up. We consider this as part of that authentic Alaskan charm. This is not a bothersome sound but might help to know in advance. There may be noise from other guests as this townhome is part of a four-plex. We have a quiet time rule from 11pm -6am. PLEASE be considerate and abide by quiet hours and PLEASE let us know if others are not. (Anytime of night).
We strive to keep our townhome sparkling clean. Please understand, this is an older building that does have wear and tear like older tubs, showers, cabinets, and some older appliances. Please let us know right away with any issues you may be having to give us a chance to get there ASAP and make it right for you.
We want to do whatever is needed to make your stay most enjoyable at Discover Kenai.
