About this apartment rental
Anchor Inn by the Sea is located only four miles from downtown Ketchikan in one of the best shoreline fishing and whale watching areas that Ketchikan has to offer. The Inn has three private suites (1 & 2 bedroom) all suites have private entries, private decks and beautiful ocean views. Although the suites are all private, the yard is shared space. The grassy yard is a favorite with our guests. It is a beautifully landscaped yard with lush green grass, overlooking the ocean.
The guest suites are as close as you can get to the ocean. Bring your camera because otter, seals, and porpoises are frequently seen. Eagles nest close by and are often seen perched on a pole near the water or pulling a salmon from the ocean. Humpback Whales and Orcas are the most exciting for our guests to see. We can guarantee that you will see some type of wildlife every day of your stay.
The suites are outfitted with everything you need to feel right at home; equipped kitchens, dining area, living room and a full bath. The suites have queen beds, wireless Internet, SmartTV, and either a full kitchen or a kitchenette.
This ad, the rates and the calendar are for the one bedroom suite.

My husband and I had an awesome 8 day stay at Anchor Inn by the Sea. Mary was a wonderful host and warmly greeted us upon our arrival. She was quick to respond to any questions we had and provided us with excellent recommendations on sites to visit, restaurants to eat at, and really neat points of interest. We stayed in the Orca Suite and had the most incredible view of the sea. We saw and filmed a whale right from the expansive living room window our first morning there. The suite was well equipped and charming, located approximately 4 1/2 miles from Creek Street and downtown Ketchikan. We rented a car and easily navigated wherever we wanted to go during our stay. This was our first visit to Alaska in celebration of my husband’s upcoming 70th birthday and it has been a lifelong dream of his to catch a halibut and a salmon. I’m pleased to report we had an amazing day of fishing with Baranof Fishing Charters (also recommended by Mary) and caught 10 Pacific cod, 2 Halibut, a pink salmon, and a king salmon (we had to immediately release the king salmon because we are not Alaskan residents) but they were impressive! Baranof arranged to ship our fish home for us. During our stay, we got to see two bears at Herron Cove (also Mary’s suggestion), saw a melodrama play/musical, an annual favorite, the Pirate’s Daughter, at the Civic Center, went to the lumberjack show, and had wonderful meals at the Alaskan Fish House, New York Cafe, Salmon Falls Resort, and the Landings Diner,

My husband and I stayed at Anchor Inn by the Sea for an eleven day staycation. We are more the naturalist types so we did not fish, instead we hiked, enjoyed the town and it’s hidden gems and spent many hours in our suite (Orca) just watching the sea. We saw eagles daily and a couple of incredible moments when they caught fish, too big for them to fly with so they swam to shore where they had their meal, just feet away from our covered deck. It made for some incredible photos (this spot is a photographer's haven)! That wasn’t all, though, we also had orcas AND humpbacks swim by several times… it was phenomenal! The suite has a window that allows occupants to be constantly on the lookout for these magical moments. It was very comfortable for the two of us, and Mary and Greg took excellent care of us, bringing us extras when needed. They are incredible people and have done some amazing things in their lives! Their story is part of the welcome book in your suite and I was just blown away by their adventures! Everything was very clean and we had everything that we needed. We highly recommend Anchor Inn By the Sea for your stay. We can’t imagine a better spot to observe the abundance of natural wonders that are Ketchikan!

We stayed 3 weeks in the beautiful Orca Suite which includes a full kitchen. The everyday view while preparing our meals and cleaning up was just spectacular! We enjoyed the deck very much, especially when watching all of the activity out on the water, or the orcas swim by, or the eagles come to rest on the perch. We also enjoyed relaxing in the chairs on the lawn. We saw a sea otter come up to the beach and we saw a mink run across the yard. He was soooo cute!
Mary and Greg are amazing! They answered every question we had and provided lots of information for activities in the area.
If we ever find ourselves back in Ketchikan, this is the place where we want to be!

We have been visiting Ketchikan once or twice a year for nine years. Anchor Inn by the Sea is our favorite place to stay. The views are spectacular, the grounds are beautiful, the accommodations comfortable and well stocked, pride of ownership is evident in each well appointed apartment, and the owners, Mary and Greg give us just the right amount of attention to make each stay enjoyable and memorable.Views from the kitchen table and the porch include fishing boats of all sizes and types, passenger ferries, cruise ships, cargo barges, local skiffs, and kayakers. Float planes fly to and from fishing camps and other destinations. Marine life includes humpback whales, orcas, porpoises and salmon. We have seen eagles fishing and watched ravens, mink and other wildlife. Sunsets are stunning.
