Great location with beautiful view of bay and mountains
Patty, the owner, is great at communicating. She gave excellent directions to the house and clear instructions about how to use various items in the house. We greatly enjoyed our 3 night stay in August. The house was clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen to prepare several simple meals. The location was a short drive from town up on a hill, and we enjoyed the view and the flowers in the yard. We enjoyed driving down to the Homer spit and eating excellent grilled halibut at Captain Patty's Seafood restaurant. We also enjoyed visiting the Pratt art, cultural and natural sciences museum in Homer.

About the host

Host profile image
I’m a lifetime Alaskan and I’ve enjoyed a remarkable time growing up in this state. I've had countless wonderful memories living in this home and have enjoyed the bounty of this beautiful area. I'm looking forward to offering the same experience to others. Homer is an incredibly beautiful place with friendly people and many exciting things to do and see. I hope you enjoy my home and your time here as much as I have.

Why they chose this property

Overlooking Kachemak Bay with a great view of the mountains and glaciers. The property is close to town yet is located in a quiet neighborhood and easily accessible.

What makes this property unique

The view of kachemak bay, the mountains, glaciers, and the ever-changing sky are what attracted us to this spot. It's close to town and also a short trip above us leads to many beautifully forested areas. I love to be in the yard and especially enjoy tending to the flower gardens. The house itself has an open floor plan, which feels spacious and is great for entertaining.
