Amazing

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.

Early May Stay

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!

Perfect Double Eagle

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!

Mom Adventure with 3 adult children

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.

Unique experience

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!

Double Eagle

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

Unique Option with Great View!

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!

Unbeatable views!

Fantastic rental! Really can’t beat sitting on your own balcony and watching for whales in the evening. If the sun actually set I’m sure it would be perfect for that too! Was super impressed with the cleanliness and setup, would definitely recommend to anyone coming to the Homer area!

Awesome Homer family stay

We stayed at the property with my parents and two children. There was plenty of room, the kids were thrilled to be staying on a boat and the view cannot get any better. We live in AK but love to travel around to see our beautiful state - we have stayed in Homer a few times. This property was unique, clean, had everything we needed, Karen was wonderful to work with and the view was spectacular! We had eagles flying by daily and saw whales from the deck. I cannot say enough good things about staying here. Fantastic stay - great for a family or for couples just wanting to get away. This trip is a family memory for a lifetime. Thank you, Double Eagle, for hosting us so comfortably and beautifully.

Unique accommodations - breathtaking view

The view was breathtaking. Staying on a boat (on dry land) was fun & unique. Decks on 3 levels. Watched eagles fish. Close to quaint shops. Dining on the deck better than any restaurant. Everything we needed was stocked in the kitchen. A good time was had by 3 generation - and only 1 person was a fisherman.

Cabin

Thank you for moving us to the cabin as it was much safer for my husband. The view and setting are terrific and the Little Rock & roll was something else but Alaskans are used to that. Thank you again.
