    This property was absolutely gorgeous. The kids had a wonderful time playing on the beach and checking out all of the shops. The candy store was probably their favorite 😁. The beds were comfy, the space was cozy and for the location it was surprisingly quiet. The owners are excellent communicators and you can tell that they put a lot of thought and love into the property. Thanks for a great time with family!

    From the moment we pulled up everyone had big smiles! It was a privilege to stay here and be immersed in the action taking place all around on the Homer Spit. The beds were welcoming and comfortable and the kitchenette well stocked for coffee on the deck that we will never forget while overlooking the Bay. Everyone could pick something to do that suited them most and we could all meet up to share some experiences too because the location offers a tremendous diversity of experiences. Altogether top notch!

    1st time staying in Homer. We had an early charter the next morning and we were glad to be able to relax and not have to drive 90 miles from Sterling in the morning. Highly recommend, lots to do close by. Thank you Konna

    Check in was super easy and it’s in a great spot! Very comfortable beds. We did run out of hot water in the shower at night and one of the garbages had trash in it when we arrived. Otherwise we loved it. Would stay again!

    The house was very comfortable. We all slept great. The decor is cute. The location is tops. Just a few things that should be noted. One thing not noted in the description is that the house is literally a store front on the board walk. I didn’t mind, but some people might, and it would have been good to know. People are walking right by your sleeping head until midnight. Also, the three single beds are upstairs and you have to go outside to access the room. Would have been nice to know. Luckily my kids are big enough that it wasn’t a problem but if you had little kids it might be an issue. Lastly, make sure you take notice of the deposit required. Over all I enjoyed the property but I thought there were some pretty big details that should have been in the description.

    We were so excited to reach our destination in Homer and realize that we would be staying in the center of the action right on the boardwalk on the spit! We had gorgeous weather which meant a gorgeous view of the surrounding mountains. While the spot is cozy, it worked well for our group of 6 adults and had everything we needed for our one night stay. The e only minor suggestion would be black out curtains on the main floor to help with sleep in summer. Thank you for a great time in Homer!

    It was kind of cute but wouldn't go back there again. There is no privacy because it's right on the strip in the middle of restaurant shops and the bed was very uncomfortable and I could smell sweat off the sheets. Pretty gross.

    Right in the heart of the spit action! Kids loved low tide for skipping rocks and finding cool creatures. We saw eagles, a sea lion we named Sparky, loons, king salmon, star fish, jellyfish, and crabs. The front board walk has access to coffee, food, gifts, and games. Everything is in walking distance on the spit. Recommend sleep mask & ear plugs which helped us unplug from the action. Coffee and breakfast at BBs was great.

    This very well maintained property has an ideal location! My sons loved having a separate space and we all enjoyed sitting out on the upper deck the first day with ice cream we got from the shop 2 doors down. Safeway grocery and a great laundromat are just a quick 10 minute drive and a fishing lagoon is across the street or walk 10 min and fish on the end of the Spit. The property is clean, adorably decorated and has all the basics for cooking. The 2 bathrooms are awesome! We also enjoyed watching the tide come up under the back deck—wild how large the tide changes were! Weather for our stay was cold and rainy but we were cheered by the Wheelhouse‘s coziness and heaters!
