Check-out instructions
The host requires you to complete the following before checking out:
Gather used towels
Turn off the lights and lock the doors
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.
Please do not feed the birds! Crows especially will become aggressive. Don't leave food unattended on the deck, the crows love Two Sisters baked goods
The heat/AC does best on the auto setting. Make it anything you like. If it gets too warm open a window and turn on the bathroom fan.
Most restaurants close up around 8pm, so if you are late getting into Homer, plan accordingly and pick up dinner in Soldotna.

This little studio completely exceeded our expectations. It's in the perfect place for quick access to anywhere in Homer, has stunning views from the front deck, and is so clean, well decorated and comfortable - we were sad to leave. 10/10 recommend.
We will be staying here again! Ohmygoodness. I do not normally write reviews, but this was such a great experience, it deserves it. This place is dog friendly/dog welcoming .... they had food and water bowls, a spare leash, tennis ball and doggies bags for us.... and the location was perfect. It is right on the beach, just a minute from the Homer Spit (by vehicle). Being on the beach allows for walking for in the morning, night, or afternoon to be enjoyable and full of wildlife. It's clean, spacious, new, and comfortable. No cleaning or hidden fees, price up front. This is going to be our go-to spot wnen staying in Homer. I promise, it's a good choice.
The last two photos is of our dog, Teddy on the beach located in front of the cabin.
