This was the perfect cottage for our stay in Homer! The location, view, hot tub, comfy bed, everything was amazing! I greatly appreciated the sleep masks beside the bed, since it was still light when we went to sleep Watching eagles fly overhead while in the hot tub was so cool! I would definitely stay again if I'm ever back up this way!

Everything was as described clean and comfortable. Enjoyed a good night sleep and a nice long soak in the hot tub. Didn’t have to worry about coffee in the morning. The host was very gracious about including Starbucks for us.

Our 4-night stay was all we hoped it to be. The location was surprisingly quiet the first couple of days, and though there was airplane traffic noise from the airport nearby the next two days, it was still a peaceful location. The cottage was very comfortable and clean with everything we needed to cook a couple meals and entertain ourselves with some satellite tv. It is close to many restaurants and the Spit. The hot tub was our favorite amenity.Thank you
