We are Homer locals plus visiting family from Chicago who each and all had the very best time at Eagles Nest and Wolfs Den together. Our hosts were helpful in every way. Marja and Eva greeted us at the shore, helped us get our stuff to (and from) the house and settled, hooked us up with the local utterly fresh oysters! While some of us played on the private beach exploring tidepools and caverns and swimming about, others chilled on the beach deck overlooking the frolicking and changing tides, eating the freshest of oysters. The double kayaks were such a treat, and made our explorations all the richer. The trails around the island were fun, easy walks, sun-dappled forrest bathing. Chris helped us orient and get around the island trails, so many thanks!! The weather was so good we kept going outside all day but we all noted that we would have been happy to curl up in the rental all day, read or talk and watch a storm come through. The wrap around porch was convenient for leaving our sandy shoes, towels, and wetsuits out to dry, and of course to sit and enjoy morning coffee, and evening cocktails.
The beds (in both rentals) and the pull-out couch (in Eagles Nest) were delightfully comfy, we all slept in astonishingly well for the summer solstice time of year when the sun is so strong. The kitchen had everything we needed to make numerous meals, prepare oysters, and it even had the wares and oven for baking a celebratory desert one night. Marja Chris and Eva were kind, respectful, helpful and welcoming in all the important ways. The proximity to the coffee shop and the Saltry are so convenient- we felt both connected to the rest of the island and enjoyed total privacy as well. This scene is dreamy- I fully recommend it - we look forward to getting back!!
