    Wonderful Location and good communication with the property manager. We stayed at this property one year ago and it was definitely cleaner this year except for many cigarette butts in flower pots on both porches even though this is a non-smoking property. The sea shanty is close to historic downtown restaurants and bakeries and is very quiet at night. A short walk to the beach and a short drive to the Homer spit makes this a good place to stay.

    Connie is flexible and accommodating. Four adults came from out of town to visit family. Our 8 yr old AK granddaughter stayed with us each night and loved being with us. We ate out for breakfast/brunch/lunch meals but cooked all of our meals in the kitchen for us and our AK family. A little crowded for 10 of us, but we made it work and had a great time! Will definitely stay there again when we return.

    Check in was super easy. The Sea Shanty was perfect for an Alaska 'staycation'. Wish we could have stayed longer.

    The Sea Shanty was the perfect place for our family of 5 adults. There’s room for everyone. The place is spacious, sparkly clean, and the location is unbeatable. So close to town, Two Sisters, Bishops Beach, and a short drive to the spit. The furnishings are basic, in great clean and working condition -all you need to make for a comfortable stay. The upstairs patio has a beautiful view of the ocean and both upstairs and downstairs patio are perfect to sit, hang out and have your coffee or share a meal. Enjoyed our stay thoroughly! Can’t wait to come back!

    My best friend (from the lower 48), husband and I (from Wasilla, Alaska) stayed two nights. It was perfect for us. The location could not have been better. Walking distances to several wonder places to eat. Homer is a wonderful town and enjoyed visiting again. The Sea Shanty was extremely clean. Would stay there again! Thank you

    Two couples were very comfortable. Upstairs was a nice deck to enjoy the evening. Living room was upstairs too with a TV but we didn’t really utilize that with a great view preferred.

    First of all the host is wonderful. I had excellent communication and directions of where to park, etc. She checked to make sure all was going well. And she went above and beyond when I left a camera charger and battery. She made sure to look for it multiple times, which I appreciated greatly. Now about the rental, it's really nice. It has plenty of room, was clean, and is in a good, safe, location, within walking distance of plenty of places and a very short drive to anything else in Homer. The kitchen had what we needed to make our breakfasts each morning. The upper balcony was a plus. It was wonderful to sit out and look at the mountains and you can even see Kachemak Bay. Don't hesitate to book this when in Homer, you won't regret it.

    Second time staying at Homer Seaside Cottages. Stayed in the Sea Shanty cottage, which is stocked with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The location can't be beat - short walk to Bishop's Beach, and minutes away from Espresso shop, restaurants, and Two Sisters Bakery. Connie is a perfect host and very accommodating. Can't wait to stay here again.

    We had a wonderful stay at the Sea Shanty! Loved being so close to the water and within walking distance to bakeries and restaurants. We even got to see a moose snacking right by the house! Accommodations were great, we would love to come back someday! Thank you!

    Loved our stay at the Sea Shanty. The location is ideal for walking to the beach or enjoying yummy local food establishments. Small hiccup with a foldout couch that Connie quickly addressed even on a holiday weekend.
