This sweet little home is nestled in the trees on Kachemak Drive overlooking Kachemak Bay. Grewingk Glacier is across the bay, the view from the living room, 2 of the bedrooms, and the deck is simply amazing. From the deck, you can hear the surf, smell the fresh sea air, watch the eagles soar, and the boats pass. So VERY relaxing! Make your memories here in this newly restored, fully appointed home.

Located in Homer, this holiday home is in the mountains and on the waterfront. Wynn Nature Center and Diamond Creek State Recreation Area reflect the area's natural beauty and area attractions include Alaska Islands and Ocean Visitor Center and Bunnell Street Arts Center. Pratt Museum and Bunnell Street Gallery are also worth visiting.
This is a great house. We relaxed and saw many sea animals from the windows.

SARAH! You and your father are exceptional guests. Looking forward to your return! Connie
Incredible property with views for days. Bedrooms are a bit on the small side, but candidly, who cares!
Place was absolutely great and about a 10 minute drive from the Spit!

Thank you for your kind words! The bedrooms are indeed a little small...but the view is larger than life! Glad you were happy! Come again anytime!
The views from almost every window took my breath away- SO AMAZING! The place was decorated so tastefully and cute, the kitchen had everything needed to cook like you were in your own home, the BBQ was convenient- what can I say/ this is the only place to stay in Homer. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area again.

Awe Jenny! Thank you! I hope you and John can return next season!
Lovely stay at this very nice bungalow. The views from the deck were lovely, and everything inside was just fine. We enjoyed watching seals and sea otters in the water in front of the cabin. Highlight of our time in Homer was the trip to Halibut Cove. Another highlight was the bookstore in town. We had a delightful stay at the Starfish Bungalow, and we'd be happy to go back again.
Connie went above and beyond for us and our 86 and 90 year old Mum’s, to make this holiday the best it could possibly be.
We loved every minute and everything about our stay at the Starfish Bungalow!
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Connie. Stephanie and Brian

Seeing how these folks went to great lengths to care for their Mommas is truly a pleasure. I am so glad it went well.
Many blessings! Connie
The view was amazing. The view from the deck the best. It was absolutely clean. The house is stocked with everything you could need. We had a memorable time.

So glad you enjoyed the Starfish Bungalow! We think it is a very special place!
The hose was so easy and great to communicate with. We had an unforeseen circumstance and she worked with us so kindly ! My husband and boys loved the house with spectacular views and used the grill and fire pit! Wish there was more time there !

Thank you, Nicolette! I hope you are able to return one day!
This house had everything we wanted. Great location, comfortable beds and a view that can't be beat whether inside or out. Connie was super nice and easy to reach. The bathroom needs a bit of repair to fix some loose tiles, but otherwise everything was clean and in good working order. one of the many highlights was having breakfast on the porch with two bald eagles in the nearby tree.

Lisa! So happy to hear you were comfortable, cozy, and entertained as well, by our local eagle family! I apologize we had 2 loose wall tiles during your stay. Our bathroom is slated for a remodel this fall, with all new tile! Come again next season and see our upgrade!
Our family had so much fun using the starfish cottage as our home base in Homer. We could’ve spent hours on the deck staring at the glacier and bay view! Saw bald eagles and a few seals! The beds were all very comfortable. Kitchen and bath were both had nices finishes and stocked as one would expect in a premier property. Prompt communication from host. Located close to spit, which was quite handy. Great breakfast/burger place at the boatyard. Highly recommended!
The pictures do not give enough justice of the view from the back deck. It is AMAZING! Close enough to everything in Homer including Homer Spit. First visit for our family to Alaska and definitely will be back again. The description, communication, check in and check out processes, etc. where exceptional and would definitely recommend staying at the starfish bungalow. Thank you!!

Thank you! We aim to deliver a 5 star experience, I am so glad you were pleased! Come again anytime!
Fantastic view and location! The bungalow was clean and cozy but the star of the show is the view out the front windows. It can't be beat. It was also very easy to get to anything in Homer. Would definitely stay here again!
We stayed at the Starfish Bungalow for 5 days and loved everything about it. It was clean, comfortable, well appointed. and offered the most wonderful views and wildlife right outside our door! Connie, the manager, was most hospitable and helpful. We will definately be back!
we enjoyed this property. The view was great, and the house was clean and well stocked. The only downfall was the check out time, and some unexpected fees. Overall great stay.

Thank you for your review. I am sorry you didn't notice the cleaning fee, it was posted in your initial booking request for your review prior to payment. In this season of Covid, cleaning takes a lot of extra time in order to present each guest with an environment that is as germ free and safe as possible. Hence our 10 AM check out and a cleaning fee. This extra care takes time and money. Your request for an early check in so your baby could meet nap time was accommodated. I am glad your overall experience was positive.
