Excellent

Lovely house in a secluded area with a fantastic view. Just a few minutes away from downtown Homer. And the Fritz general store is very close. Saw moose on the drive in. Clean, quiet, bright, spacious, & nice inside, with great amenities. Felt at home there and didn't want to leave. The ideal place to stay in Homer -- I'd recommend it strongly. The only drawback is no WiFi, but in a way this also turned out to be nice. Really loved this place.

Perfect

This house was perfect for my family of 4, very updated and clean. We really enjoyed the back deck and yard with beautiful view of the ocean. It is not directly in Homer but a very short drive to the spit and downtown. We really loved that we weren't able to see any neighbors. Coming from big city living it was a breath of fresh air. Will definitely stay again if in the area!
