Easy access to the shore

This cottage was the perfect spot to access all that Homer and the surrounding areas had to offer. Our kids loved walking to the beach in the evenings. The gardens were beautiful, this was a great home away from home.

Perfect location, and perfect property!

My mom, partner and I loved our stay here! After plans changed of other vacationers, Connie promptly contacted me and informed me that she upgraded us to the Sea Shanty. It was extremely clean, cozy, and had everything you would need, including a very well appointed kitchen! The location is amazing, just steps from Bishops beach. Connie was extremely helpful and friendly, as well as communicative. Will absolutely be booking again!

Family beach get-away

We stayed two nights in this cozy little house. There are three other rentals on same lot. Quiet and peaceful. Easy, short walk to the beach. TV, books and games- but we never used the TV!!! Restaurants in walking distance, short drive to the Spit. Definitely recommended!!!
