Roomy and comfortable. We were fishing all day every day, so didn’t spend much time at the house but it was comfortable and equipped for our group, and the laundry room was great

Perfect place

It was a beautiful place just far enough out to enjoy the quiet, but close enough to run in and get things. Loved being in Homer and all the beautiful scenery. Thanks.

Family vacation

Our family stayed here for two weeks for vacation. We had 16 people total. One of them was an infant. There was plenty of baby items to use which was nice. The only complaint we had was I would suggest putting blackout curtains in all the bedrooms and a different option for the bathroom door in the master bedroom. But it really was a perfect place for us and the views are beautiful! The manager was great at getting back to me with any questions we had. Would definitely stay here again.

The view was amazing and this house was perfect for our famly of 8, here for our son's wedding.

The house was very clean and had supplies in case you needed them(body wash, bug spray, canned and boxed food left from other renters). The people who rented the week before left a chicken and rice dish, from their wedding, that had never been opened. So it was nice that we had a bite to eat as soon as we walked in the door. The living room is very large with windows to see the spectacular view (and Moose), a perfect place for my grandchildren to play. The family of moose graze behind the property and are fun to watch. The fire pit on the back deck was perfect for making s'mores with my grandkids. We used the grill on the deck as well. Not all of the burners on the stove worked but the owner has extra burners to use and they plan to replace the stove top. The water pressure in the shower was very good. It is a great area to go running. It was very close to the wedding venue which was at the Joslyn Peony Farm. We had a wonderful stay with our family. I plan to rent this house again, when we go back to Homer. The owner is very accommodating and kind.

Amazing view!

Huge house with lots of room for everyone. The view of the water is just stunning. The house itself is well-cared for with everything you could ask for. Plenty of toys for the kids which was a nice touch. There’s also an insane amount of movies to choose from (VHS tapes) to keep you occupied when the weather doesn’t cooperate. Just 10-12 minutes from the homer spit. Enjoyed our stay immensely!

On a Clear Day You Can See Forever

We enjoyed this comfy home with a cute decor and lots of room in the main living areas. There were lots of games available & Netlix, yay! The appliances were older but still worked except the dishwasher but hopefully it is fixed! We appreciated the fish cleaning station & the empty chest freezer, available if we needed it. We arrived from a cruise so appreciated the washer & dryer but a heads up on the excessive iron in the water that may stain light colored clothes. There is a sign noting that. The other negative is that when we first walked into the bathrooms, the toilets appeared dirty. I realize now that they have an iron issue in the water that may be causing the staining. If there is a way to mitigate those stains, it would help with first impressions. The other issue that occurred was the electricity was out one morning. We were disappointed that we had to go into town to eat breakfast but the even more disappointing issue was that without electricity there was no water pumping from the well & we couldn't flush the toilets or shower. I don't know how often this happens but would advise that they keep some bottled water on hand for these emergencies. All in all it was a good stay with a few issues and a lovely view of beautiful Alaska!

Gorgeous views. Spacious and very comfortable for my family group

This is a large, beautifully decorated home. We loved that the bedrooms could be closed off from the main living area as we all had different bedtimes and waking times. We used it as a home base while touring Homer Spit. There was plenty of parking for our three cars. I would stay there again if I ever go back to Homer, Alaska

FANTASTIC Home!!! We had the BEST time there!

What a WONDERFUL home to rest up before and after Halibut fishing with Capt Ernie and Bottom Line Charters our of Ninilchek! My wife Laura, son Kyle and his fiance Jen, her sister Elizabeth and her fiance Chris, and finally, Chloe the grandma Mini-Dachshund had plenty of room both inside and out! The house is very warm, relaxing and it was easy to get comfortable and feel as though you are at your own home. Kitchen was well outfitted, dining room table, living room with plenty of seating 4 bedrooms that easily accommodated 3 Adult couples. There was a nice deck out back that included a fish cleaning station. If we come back to Alaska visiting this area I would DEFINITELY reserve this home!
