Gorgeous Halibut Cove Retreat!

We really enjoyed our stay in the Eagle's Nest and Wolf's Den. Private beach, multiple deck levels for dinner and cocktails and morning coffee, gorgeous views. We initially booked only the (upstairs) Eagle's Nest and later added the Wolf's Den to accommodate additional travelers. Both are well-appointed and comfortable. Marja, Chris, and Eva were great hosts, very responsive to all our questions and needs, and Chris's helpful hints with the kayaks were really appreciated! We had great weather and used the kayaks to paddle to Kachemak Bay State Park and hiked to the glacier; we brought back some glacier ice for Old Fashioneds on the deck. The Saltry (highly recommend) and galleries/coffee shop are a 20-minute walk. Marja graciously provided muck boots for our entire party as it was pretty muddy after all the rain when and before we arrived. There are a lot of steps to get up to the house from the beach (we had no issues with that but others might) and you do have to walk down a dirt/grass path from the house to access the decks (again, no issues for us, but just be aware). Overall, this is a really wonderful property for a one-of-a-kind getaway!

Amazing views

The house was clean and updated. Our 1st time visiting the island, host was responsive to our many questions. We took the kayaks to Halibut Cove Lagoon and saw some wildlife (check tides before you go). A very special place with great hosts.

Alaska's Beach, Beauty, Get-a-way by Halibut Cove, Halibut Cove

We loved our stay at Eagle's Nest. We water-taxed to the Bay and were warmly greeted by amazing hosts Marji and Chris and their team who helped carry our luggage to a beautiful home with a view above the Bay. Chris gave us an ATV ride near Halibut Cove and we walked into the peaceful Cove of Tranquility. We got coffee and walked the boardwalk and enjoyed the art galleries, waterfront, and Saltry for dinner. We felt like we were touring the fiords of Sweden and Norway as we walked this gorgeous seaside cove and watched daring, adventurous divers plunge into the cold water bay from the boardwalk. We saw a family of sea otters playing and enjoyed a 11:00 pm sunset over the bay. Thank you for a perfect Alaskan rest watching eagles and enjoying serenity.

Fantastic!

We had such a great time at this beautiful place in Halibut Cove! The perfect spot for our mini- family reunion. The hosts were incredibly helpful and took great care of us! I would recommend this spot to ANYONE and I hope to stay there again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Eva Mullineaux

We're Marja, Eva & Chris, and we have been exploring and loving Alaska for the past seventeen years and can't wait to share with you what makes it so special.

Originally from the East Coast, we used to take Eva hiking in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, kayaking in the Atlantic and enjoying some of the best restaurants and cultural activities in New York City. Suffice to say, it took a truly magical place to uproot us.

We hear from folks all the time that Alaska is "on their bucket list", but the only way they know of to experience it is on a cruise. Cruises can be great, but to even scratch the surface of a state as large as 1/3 of the US, you need get off the ship! We can help you create a bucket-list worthy Alaskan vacation that will have you coming back year after year.

Why they chose this property

Our cabin in Halibut Cove is a magical place, surrounded by the ocean and the mountains. After exploring Alaska for seventeen years, we knew this is the place where our family needed to be. The creature comforts of the mainland tucked within the serenity of the Alaskan wilderness make for the best retreat away from home, allowing you to relax in the midnight sun after a day of hiking and exploring.
