Clean, comfortable and room for everyone.

We stayed in Homer and this place was located just minutes from the Spit, Wildlife museum and hikes. The kids loved the bunk beds and the two bathroom were a necessity! Owner was also flexible when I had to make a date change.

Homer AK Bayview

We were visiting Homer for a family memorial, so we were not sightseeing and enjoying all of the great outdoor activities Homer has to offer. That being said, house was great, well stocked (especially the kitchen- which is sometimes not the case w VRBO rentals), had great location and was a perfect landing spot for our family.

Cranes in the yard

Sweet little home. We ran the grill out of gas. The management was able to pick up the empty and fill it ASAP. Much appreciated for the supper plans. Easy for check in and check out. I would recommend to all.

The location is perfect and close to everything. the home overall is comfortable. The beds are comfortable. We were somewhat taken back by the cleanliness and could have been better but not enough to leave bad marks. The sand hill cranes we delightful to encounter and the window view of the mountains is superb.Some of the appliances need updating but did work.

Thanks for the comments. Both the cleaning lady and property manager did an inspection of the home before your party arrived and there were no issues. The home is an older Alaskan home and may be outdated on a few things. But, this is Alaska and a lot of rentals have older appliances. Please let us know if you plan to visit Homer again, I would suggest one of the local hotels or 2nd Star Mansion down the road.😊
