Cozy house with lovely views

We enjoyed our stay, and appreciated the comfy couch and fireplace, the great views of the bay out the big front windows, the well-equipped kitchen, and the cozy master bedroom. The host was a dear, always quick to answer our questions. We'll definitely stay there again when in Homer.

Homer Alaska fishing trip

Our stay was amazing in this well stocked beautiful home! Location was perfect. Location is not to far from town and the view from the front porch was amazing! My only complaint of this property is the bedrooms need black out curtains. The shades do not block enough light for us Texans. Highly recommend a stay here!

THE BEST

Everything about this stay was exceptional. The house is pure rental perfection. I’ve never been made to feel so welcome and comfortable in a rental. The owners have thought of everything and thensome to make your stay perfect. And the location can’t be beat — out of the tourist fray but ideally close to everything you will need or want. The view from the living room picture windows is reason enough to book. Thank you for the amazing stay!

Amazing property

We’ve never stayed in a nicer VRBO. So clean and had everything in it you could possibly need. Communication with the owner was always easy and timely. Beds were comfortable, in fact all of the furniture was comfortable. The view was perhaps the best part of all. We could sit back and enjoy both the mountains and the water. Excellent in all ways!!!!

Loved Home...Beautiful View

This is truly a wonderful place to stay in Homer, Alaska! The host, Maranatha, is a premier host who made sure that the house was spotless, plenty of towels and kitchen items. There was a bottle of wine and snacks waiting for us when we arrived...a special treat that we appreciated. The view of the bay from the front porch was beautiful! There were four of us and we all agree that this is a place that you will enjoy and want to return to again.

Beautiful home and fantastic find on VRBO

We loved this home. First, it was clean and the beds were comfortable. That, alone, would have given this home a 5-star rating. The view was amazing. The front of the house is all windows and it looks over the Bay. The host must be an interior decorator because the attention to detail for the little things made this home extra special. It was a great fit for 3 adults. The kitchen was stocked with the needed cookware/utensils for easy meal prep. If we are back in Homer, this would definitely be the place we stay in again!

Great views with nice deck

This property is almost perfect for 2 couples. Only improvements I would make is moving couch a bit forward to give more room for dining, and adding a chair or stool in bedrooms for ease of dressing. The beds are so tall that they are hard to use as a seating area. Also, adding sound proofing to the instant water heater located in the master closet would help with very loud noise, and maybe provide ear plugs. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and it's very nice!

Right at HOMEr!

From beginning to end our experience was smooth and easy! Booking was easy, communication with hist Maranatha was great, she replied quickly, was easy to talk to and gave great suggestions on things to do in Homer and places to eat. Our check in was easy and she was nice to accommodate us on an early check in. The house was spectacular! Nicely decorated and filled with everything we needed and more! The house is so comfy and cozy, it made our stay so much better! We had an easy check out . Everything went great and our 1st trip to Homer was great! We will surely be back again! hostMarananthostMaranant
