About this property
Garden Apartment Close to town w / privacy and sweet Bay views!
This apartment is on the ground level surrounded by flower gardens and views of the Kenai Mountains and Kachemak Bay. The entrance is on the East side of the house and very private.
The bedroom is light and airy, with an especially comfortable queen size bed and sweet views of the snow-capped mountains. Windows are equipped with black-out shades for an extra good nights sleep.
The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking: automatic coffee-maker, coffee press (there will be a sample of coffee beans from a local roaster), microwave, cookware, as well as some of the basics ingredients you will need for cooking in.
Both bathrooms are equipped with towels, soaps, shampoos, and hair dryer. A washer and dryer are available for your use.
The outside area includes a private garden seating from which you will enjoy the views of Kachemak Bay and the Kenai Mountains.
Close to town, guests can walk to see the attractions Homer offers. The Farmers' Market is a great option for the Saturday visitor!
This is one of three rentals available from Alaska Holiday Homes on this property. This house is a duplex. Rent all or a combination to bring a large group of family / friends together in one location (in all, beds for 12 - 14 people).

About the host
Hosted by Kit & Phyllis Barnett
Phyllis was born and raised in Homer where her parents owned and ran the Inlet Trading Post, now the Bunnell Street Arts Center. Kit hails from Scotland where he worked as a groundskeeper and gardener. His expertise has been a great boon to the Homer property! Recently retired from their lives of working in Bush Alaska during the winter months, Phyllis as a teacher, and Kit on the Maintenance & Operations crew, but always returning to Homer in the summer to enjoy fishing, gardening, hiking, and boating with family and friends.
Why they chose this property
The property, with its close proximity to town and the high school, its views and homey feel was the perfect location to raise a family. The home was purchased from the original owners and builders, Paul and Phyllis Banks who had raised their family here. 'The house has always had the feel of a home, it is comfortably cozy with wonderful light and the classic Homer views. This is what we want to share with visitors - a great place to stay while visiting and enjoying the delights of my home town.' ---Phyllis
What makes this property unique
Kit is constantly working on the grounds surrounding the home. It is an ever evolving mix of the practical and the beautiful, the groomed and the wild. Shooting Stars and Lady Slippers explode in the Spring; Poppies, Delphiniums, and Sitka Roses grace the gardens in midsummer; in August, raspberry bushes are loaded with berries.
The entry door for the Garden Apartment opens onto a garden of strawberries and Forget-me-not flowers while large white Pushki flowers crowd around the perimeter of the property.
All of this is set against the blues of the Kachemak Bay waters and Kenai Mountain's snow-capped peaks.
