Rules

Please do not feed the birds! Crows especially will become aggressive. Don't leave food unattended on the deck, the crows love Two Sisters baked goods
The heat/AC does best on the auto setting. Make it anything you like. If it gets too warm open a window and turn on the bathroom fan.
Most restaurants close up around 8pm, so if you are late getting into Homer, plan accordingly and pick up dinner in Soldotna.

We Love this slice of Homer heaven! Two minutes walk to Bishop’s Beach, one minute to Two Sister’s Bakery for a sweet treat and tea or coffee! If you enjoy watching migrating birds, the Beluga Slough walk is pretty much out the front door! So much room to spread out in this very comfortable guesthouse. Great for 2 people. We love being able to bring our dog! This is our second visit and we will be back! Super clean and comfortable. All you need is right here and if you need something, Chris is there to help out. Chris is a wonderful Host, always available and quick to respond to your questions. 5 stars across the board Chris!

The house and host were perfect. The house was clean, great location and had all the needed amenities. 10/10My only issue was the VRBO app and the information they do or don’t provide. VRBO is terrible.

Amazing!!

This little studio completely exceeded our expectations. It's in the perfect place for quick access to anywhere in Homer, has stunning views from the front deck, and is so clean, well decorated and comfortable - we were sad to leave. 10/10 recommend.

We will be staying here again! Ohmygoodness. I do not normally write reviews, but this was such a great experience, it deserves it. This place is dog friendly/dog welcoming .... they had food and water bowls, a spare leash, tennis ball and doggies bags for us.... and the location was perfect. It is right on the beach, just a minute from the Homer Spit (by vehicle). Being on the beach allows for walking for in the morning, night, or afternoon to be enjoyable and full of wildlife. It's clean, spacious, new, and comfortable. No cleaning or hidden fees, price up front. This is going to be our go-to spot wnen staying in Homer. I promise, it's a good choice. The last two photos is of our dog, Teddy on the beach located in front of the cabin.
