* To our previous guests - we have sold the coffee shop. It was a hard decision because we loved giving you "that something extra" but 2020 was difficult and the new owners are amazing, who have shown promises of some great things to come. We made that decision hoping it wasn't the reason you loved staying with us ;) and hope that you can make it back sooner than later. We understand the pandemic but missed you!

* This Beach House was renovated from an old Fishing Lodge, if you are looking for the Famous Cozy Bear Lodge, that used to be on the Spit, you found it! As you can see, it no longer has particle-board walls, creaky beds, and exposed bathroom fixtures...You're Welcome! :)

* We give a Military and extended stay discounts, etc.
BEFORE you book, look for the place that allows you to send owners a message, add in the booking information and tell us the discount information you are asking for, it will let us to edit and add in the discount. Otherwise we will need you to cancel and rebook it to get that discount in for you. Which is no problem, if you missed this part and find it later it's just extra steps on your credit card bill but we are willing...

No Pets at this location. Please see our pet policy for more details..
No Smoking at any of our locations.
**Please see the other pages for the rest of the details: Like our No smoking and No Pets policy, check-ins and outs, door code etc. because the details are a little more involved and this is just a quick overview without all of the "fine print".*** We are very strict on our pet and smoking policies.

About the host

Hosted by Konna Raub

Host profile image
We are a military family that has decided that Alaska would be a great place for our next adventure. With 7 kids everyday was an adventure. Now that they are grown I had to find a way to get them all home at one time and I know that Alaska will be what brings us all together again. Until then, we invite you to stay in our cabin, we would love to have you!

Why they chose this property

Right in the heart of the Homer Spit, on this boardwalk alone you will find: Food (from 4 restaurants including world-class entrees, artisan dogs, Thai food and ice cream), Fun (boardwalk games, a bubble station, beach bonfires and the swings underneath) Unique shops (with sea salt. t-shirts, art galleries and a candy shop) and best of all Memory Makers (our cottage for great getaway, photo stops with Big Bear or a submarine, the kiddie boat and even a tattoo parlour).

What makes this property unique

The decor is intended to mimic the inside of a ship (hence the name, The Wheelhouse) and it feels so appropriate when you hear the waves just outside your door lapping on the shoreline. The view has been described as “amazing”, “unbelievable”, “incredible” and “breathtaking”. It is what you will fall asleep to and awake with each day. You may even catch a glimpse of a gorgeous bald eagle sitting on one of the rooftops, a cuddly otter floating by at almost any hour of the day or whale spout that can keep you focused on the ocean for so long you may forget time, so have your camera ready!
