Peaceful place on the beach.

Beautiful location. Close to restuarants and places to see. It was quiet and beds were good. The place was clean, but could use a refresh. Great place to stay for beach walks and if you are lucky you will see some bald eagles.

10/10 Exceptional

The property was near the beach in Homer. The rooms were manufactured housing in a long strip. It was quiet and comfortable. We stayed one night before our trip to Kodiak. It was close to the airport and the harbor. I would recommend and go back.

Beds good. Really could use a mirror in the room. Difficult for two people to get ready in the morning. Need More counter space in the room. Loved the deck and view. The sand cranes in the morning were a delight
