This old wooden boat can occasionally remind you of boat smells, but not always, it comes and goes and still a mystery after 20 years in operation. Some guests hardly notice and over 10,000 guests it is not a safety issue. Just wanted you to note in case you are highly sensitive to any kind of smells. HOUSE RULES:

We enjoyed our stay here so much. The property itself is as fantastic as it looks in pictures. There are lots of thoughtful extras throughout. And the owners are very friendly & accessible. I would 100% recommend staying here if you can.
One of a kind venue! My kid is super into boat and this was a dream coming true for him, also host is super responsive and sent up an amazing guide that we used throughout our stay. Highly recommended
Superb stay in a superb and unique place. A reconstituted 75’ shrimp boat, with magnificent views is tough to beat. Three floors and 3 decks provide for a lot of space and privacy and the place is fully equipped. Great host and great time. We highly recommend.
The best accomodation / view / location / experience i have found in 30 years of travelling around the world. Homer Alaska is a must do and the Double Eagle accomodation is an experience we will never forget. Just Fantastic.
We had a great time here. The space is small and the floors are slanted but that is part of the charm of this cabin. We loved it! They have a photo book of how they got the place moved and built into a cabin which is really neat. The view is to die for and I wouldn’t change a thing about our stay. The hosts were very responsive when needed.
Absolutely amazing plenty of room for a family of six and all the furnishings you will need only complaint was no privacy to the downstairs other than that Absolutely amazing could definitely see myself staying here again thank you
This place has breath taking views and is one of the most unique places you could stay. Karen was so accommodating and made this experience for my family one of a kind. You will you not find an experience like this anywhere in Homer let alone most of the world. The time we had there will be memories forever. Cannot wait to comeback.
Our family had a fabulous stay in this unique property. The location was great - it felt secluded but with easy access to Homer and The Spit. The views were incredible and the boat had all we needed for a comfortable stay. We are all short (under 5'9") and had no issues, but we did note the ceiling heights might be less comfortable for a tall family. We would definitely stay again.
The property was beautiful. The boat was everything we needed! Thank you for the sleep masks- definitely needed in upper bedroom.The views are spectacular, even with the overcast days! A wonderful getaway
We celebrated my husband's birthday with this wonderful stay on the Double Eagle. The view over the bay was amazing. Every detail attended to. Lovely beds. Perfect location. Cute and clean as can be. Hosts had great communication. Looking forward to going back.
The views from the boat were priceless. We didn’t go out for dinner at all instead brought food back to enjoy the views each night. We already booked for next year!
We had a wonderful time. Karen was incredibly accommodating and helpful. We felt like we were being looked after. The place was spectacular on the rainy/cloudy days, and breathtaking on the clear days. We will definitely be staying at the Double Eagle again!
Double Eagle is a unique home with spectacular views. We enjoyed watching the eagles soar above the decks and land in the nest below. The beds were very comfortable

It was a pleasure hosting your family. Delighted you enjoyed the Double Eagle and the Homer area.
This stay was more than amazing and I cant wait to return. I brought my 3 adult children to Alaska for the trip of a lifetime and it absolutely was. The view from our unique lodging was perfect. I always look for fun and unique places to stay and this was perfect. The location was private yet close to everything. My only regret was not being able to stay longer.
We had a delightful stay on "the ship." We were looking for something different that provided space for my dad, me and a teen. It was perfect!!! We had a great vacation, caught a lot of fish, and the great accommodations were a huge part of it! Got great directions, provided contact if we need anything, and couldn't have asked for anything more.

I am so delighted you enjoyed your stay and had great weather to enjoy all the outdoor activities. Hope to see you again. Karen
Surprised my son and his friend (recent high school graduates) with this boat. Perfectly perched on the bluff overlooking the bay & spit. This was a great way to kick off our week in Alaska. & yes the eagles soared as we ate on the deck - awesome!

The purpose for comprehension of this world have been shared with your son and friends and we are so pleased that they had a wonderful experience on the Double Eagle!
My granddaughter and I spent 4 nights at the Double Eagle and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The ocean views from each room were stunning both morning and night. The owners provided everything you could ever want in a rental and were very helpful with the check in and directions. This unique boat lodging helped make our visit to Homer very memorable. What a hidden gem!

About the host
Hosted by Karen & Bryan Zak
One winter day in February 2000, Karen and Bryan came upon the property on Baycrest Hill for sale, they pulled up to the property and walked around and Bryan said ' there is no better view in Homer than this location, can you imagine if visitors could experience this view? The property was carefully developed for visitors with privacy in mind, exceptional views and all the comforts of home. Over the years Bryan and Karen have added many unique accommodations with the vision to provide guests with that one-of-a-kind experience.
Why they chose this property
Our vision is to provide our guests a unique experience with high end lodging with all the comforts of home and an exceptional panorama view to wow the senses. Wildlife is regularly scene from the cabin and you can always count on resident Eagles soaring around the property that nest nearby.
We commit ourselves to excellence in service to our guests and want you to experience the wonder that Homer embodies with exceptional views, abundant wildlife, unlimited activities, world class fishing and a small, friendly community that welcomes guests.
What makes this property unique
A labor of love to restore this old wooden boat for guests to experience . The area offers fishing, flying out for Bear Viewing, or kayaking in the bay. You'll never forget the taste from barbequing some of your very own fresh catch on the BBQ grill. Homer's Halibut get so big that they are affectionately called 'Barn Doors'. Charter Boat captains offer their years of experience to make your trip successful and fun.
