Historic Home Comfort, Convenience, and Views!

Beautiful views from a three bedroom family home, with full kitchen, living room, and laundry facilities. The close-to-town, convenient location adds to the benefit of this accommodation.

We renovated this older home to retain its original charms, but also to satisfy our modern tastes and expectations. The result is quaint, bright, and utterly charming with enchanting views of Kachemak Bay, the Kenai Mountains and the Homer Spit. Every window at the front of the house - living room, kitchen, and laundry (!) offer the remarkable views we love so much in Homer.

This is one of two rentals from Alaska Holiday Homes and available on this property. Rent both of the units to bring a large group of family / friends together in one location (in all, 5 queen beds for 10 people).

Perfect place to stay for the weekend for a family or group. Lots of space and gorgeous views of the Spit out the front window. We spent the first evening watching a mama and playful baby moose in the yard. Will definitely be back!

Property was clean, quiet, and accurately depicted in the listing. The only thing to note, is that in summer months the temperature in the rental was uncomfortably hot. While the screened windows opened in every room, there were no fans for days without a natural breeze.

Wonderful stay, great location.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It was the perfect size for our four person family, and we found it very relaxing. The living and kitchen areas benefit from really nice natural light and there is a great view of the mountains out the front window. The owners were very friendly and helpful in answering our questions. We would definitely return again.
