Bayview Vacation Home in Homer, Alaska invites you to experience unobstructed panoramic view. It sits atop a hillside overlooking downtown, Beluga Lake, Homer airport, Kachemak Bay, the Spit, Kenai Mountains and beautiful glaciers. The view from our home is very colorful, inspiring and ever-changing. Snow-capped mountains, green forests, glowing yellow meadows during sunset, and a sea of clouds along the blue bay are just some of the stunning views you can see during the day. At night, you can see the street lights sparkling on the Spit and the town. Even during rainy days, you will enjoy enchanting views of reflecting water droplets.
Our home was custom built in 2003 and faces nearly one acre of wild flower gardens. The house has a living area of 3,200 square feet, divided into upper and lower levels. In the upper level, the living room has huge panoramic windows built into the entire front wall. The windows allow you to soak in the views of the curved Spit, mountains and gleaming glaciers formed across the bay.
The master bedroom has one queen bed and one full bathroom equipped with a Jacuzzi bathtub. You can walk to the deck from the master bedroom or just lie down on the bed to enjoy the view.
The second bedroom has one queen size bed and one window. There is also one sofa bed for extra visitors and another bathroom near the entrance. Visitors sleeping on the sofa bed will feel like they are being embraced by the mountains in the dimming sunset. The spacious kitchen and dining area has a sliding door which leads to the deck. Additionally, the upper level is equipped with a washer and dryer for your convenience.
For privacy, a separate entrance deck leads to the lower level. The lower level has a living room with big windows and it contains two bedrooms. One room has one queen-size bed and the other has two full-size beds. Both rooms have large windows to view the Spit and Kenai mountains. The lower level kitchen and dining area was newly built in 2008. The kitchens in each level are well equipped with all the necessary amenities for you to enjoy cooking and dining.
We purchased this lovely home in 2008 for our retirement and furnished it with the finest new furniture for your comfort. We also provided a 42” wide-screen HDTV, high speed internet, and cable/satellite TV for your entertainment. Our home sits on a private street where you can enjoy the serene wilderness, but easily get to town and the Spit within a few minutes drive.

The house was in excellent condition! Cable tv was a plus, kitchen was great for making meals (although a new set of nonstick pans would be a bonus). The view is awesome, and when we awoke the first morning, it seemed as though the house was in the clouds, as Homer was completely overcast. The place was a bit difficult to find in the dark once we were on the last street, maybe mentioning what house it is next to would be helpful for future visitors. We had friends stay downstairs, so the water did get cold for them after we filled the jacuzzi tub, but the stay was overall amazing. We go to Homer quite a bit, and this house definitely offers the privacy we seek when we get out of town!

Thanks for considering my feedback. Keeping the tall weeds cut would be good enough – but I think it would be great to have a bit of lawn to sit out on for the lower unit. We spent a fair amount of time on the outside deck upstairs when the sun was shining and really enjoyed it. We will definitely rent from you again whenever we return to Homer – you have a very special place.
