Come Make Yourself at Home at R & R
Homer Alaska is located on the South end of the Kenai Peninsula on Kachemak Bay and it is one of the jewels of the Kenai Peninsula. It is a very picturesque setting. Whether you look to the East or to the West, the view can be breathtaking. Alaska is on the list for many to visit and sometimes it can be troubling to make the decision on where to stay. There are hundreds of Bed & Breakfast's to stay in, numerous hotels and vacation rentals to choose from. Why choose R&R; because it is as close to home as you can get while being on the road. We offer privacy, real peace and quiet; which that is hard to find now a day's, and a very convenient location when it comes to activities that you might partake in while you are visiting. We are 3.5 miles from the center of town and another 4.5 miles to the Harbor. If you just wanted to take a hike after waking up, without getting in your car, our property abuts to some of the best hiking trails Homer has to offer. Whether you want to walk one mile or five miles, all you need are your hiking boots. Most visitors want to fish while they are in Homer and although we do not offer any guided services, we have been living in the community since 1978 and operated charter boats until the late 1980's. This gives us the opportunity to point you in the direction you want to go without a fee. After recreating, you will want to eat and if you want to come home and put your fresh caught fish on the grill, you can at R&R. All the amenities are provided to do just that. But if you want to dine out, my wife is retired from working in one of the finest eateries in town and had been in the service industry for 19 years. So we still keep abreast of the local eateries that provide good food! We have tried to make R&R affordable for our visitors, especially the ones that want to stay for awhile. Our prices might seem to be low, but that doesn't reflect the condition of the accommodations. It reflects our philosophy with travel. It's a price that we wouldn't mind paying if we were traveling, and it's always nice to be pleasantly surprised. R&R is just perfect for some. We are not the fancy high end resort with a million dollar view. We are simply a quiet comfortable home away from home. I can't ever recall having one of our visitors complain about the place. So if you are coming to the Great Land and visiting Homer, please consider R&R for your stay. Keywords: Apartment, on second floor with 18 stairs to climb

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Our hosts were lovely people, and the property was fully stocked with everything and more than you would ever need. We will definitely stay again if we get the chance!!!!
We enjoyed our time in Homer and these accommodations were perfect! It was especially nice that when we arrived into town a day early, they were willing to have us check in a day early.
Liz and Billy were both very nice and we enjoyed our conversations with them!
This place was so homey and comfortable for our stay in Homer. It was quiet and secluded and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again next time we travel to Homer.
Private above garage bungalow, well stocked with coffee, spices, cooking utensils.
Comfortable and cozy property, will return on my next trip to Homer if available.
Great place! Very clean and comfortable. Everything you need for a nice stay in Homer. Great location, very close to town but far enough to enjoy the peace and quiet. Highly recommend!
The hosts have thought of everything you may need and more. This is a very clean and comfortable place in a peaceful setting.

4 miles out of town, away from the activity but a very short drive to partake in what you want. The host were great and very accommodating.the property was very clean and comfortable.
We loved everything about this cozy quiet place. Check in was easy. Communication was excellent. The amenities provided were so thoughtful! Would stay here again! Thanks for everything!!
It was a wonderfull one bedroom place in a separate building next to the hosts house. It was very clean and very well decorated. A great hiking trail is just 10 minutes away.
Hosts Liz and Bill were really welcoming.
Highly recommend staying there.

Nice area, quiet and off the main hwy and nestled in the woods. Liz was always available for questions. Left her cell number on the counter along with very good instructions. Loved the assortment of teas, the coffee, pancake mix and oatmeal. Nice touch. We would definitely recommend if you want R & R. Located out of town a ways which is what we wanted.

Check in was super easy, the space was furnished with way more amenities than we were expecting, it was extremely clean and comfortable, and the decorations were awesome! It was in a very quiet area and yet just a few quick minutes drive from downtown Homer where there was plenty of free parking. We were there on the summer solstice, and while a lot of the other places we stayed this week stayed light all night long making it a bit hard to sleep, here they had great shades which really allowed us to get the bedroom dark. We would absolutely come here again and highly recommend this property!
Comfortable and cozy above garage apartment in a quiet neighborhood. Wonderful back deck. Nicely stocked kitchen. Host was quick to respond to inquiries. Easy jaunt to the spit. Would stay there again.

Wonderful stay at R&R - both relaxing and exciting
My husband and I were first time visitors to Alaska, and Liz has R&R nicely stocked with lots of helpful brochures and books. The apartment was very clean, comfortable for two and had a very homey feel to it. I loved the decor and music boxes, and we agreed we need to return to R&R to do some of the other things the area has to offer.
Top that off with the fact that eight nights was very reasonably priced and we would recommend staying here.
This was one of the best VRBOs we have stayed in The hosts Liz and Billy were very personable. I can't think of anything we wanted that the place did not have! We hope to be back!! Took spectacular pictures of Bald Eagles (perched and in-flight!) and Sea Otters on our hike on Diamond Creek trail.. very close to Liz and Billy's. I also recommend the boat to..fly back excursion to Seldovia with Mako Water Taxi!!
Relaxing, quiet and greenery everywhere. We had a wonderful time in Homer AK! Liz and Billy were very easy to talk to and gave us great insight on where to see moose, places to eat and Billy was an expert on fishing and gave us a lot of information; which was very much appreciated.
Head to the rental first much to our surprise Liz had more things making it more like home then you would think. Coffee beans to grind fresh coffee, filter water, bug spray, sunscreen, laundry soap and fabric softner, kleenx you name it she has it there for you; also brochures information about the area and things to do. All you need is your clothes & slippers.
Thanks again Liz for surprising us with a bottle of champagne and fluted glasses for our anniversary it was so kind of you. Billy thanks for the conversations, we enjoyed them. We really enjoyed our stay.
