East End Swell – Ground-Level Comfort with Ocean, Mountain & Glacier Views

Nestled just below East End Summit (upstairs apartment), East End Swell (downstairs apartment) offers a serene, 1,000-square-foot retreat with sweeping views of Kachemak Bay, the surrounding mountains, and distant glaciers. This thoughtfully designed downstairs apartment blends comfort, function, and style—ideal for couples, families, or travelers seeking a peaceful base for their Alaskan adventure.

The open-concept living space features high-end appliances, a fully equipped kitchen, and comfortable accommodations for up to six guests. Step out onto the private patio to take in the quiet beauty of the bay and mountain landscape. A dedicated freezer is available for storing your fresh catch, and the pull-through driveway provides easy access with plenty of room for boats and trailers. Whether you're fishing, hiking, or exploring Homer’s galleries and cafes, East End Swell offers a welcoming, well-appointed home base to return to at day’s end.
