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).

Lovely Garden Apartment with Gorgeous Views
The apartment is spacious and comfortable! It is very well equipped to make some nice meals in. We appreciated the coffee beans and variety of tea! We appreciated being able to do laundry during our trip. The views were beautiful and we were able to see wild life right out the window.

Homer stay
Very clean. Nice gardens. Very close to town. Bonus was the 4 sandhill cranes that flew into the yard and hung out for awhile. Good place for a quick overnight stay connecting with other plans.

Perfect Mother-Daughter Retreat
This place was perfect for our mother-daughter retreat. My friend and I came down with our teenage daughters and enjoyed the Spa and Land's End. Went to eat at Two Sisters, walked the beach and made meals together. It was perfect. We also brought our dogs to participate in the fun and this rental is set up nicely for pets. Will definitely make this an annual outing!

Delightful space and views
Great communication, and easy check-in. The garden apartment is clean, light and spacious with laundry and two bathrooms that have good lighting. There's charging ports for various devices and big windows with views. It's very quiet when no tenants are staying in the house above.

We enjoyed the stay very much. Clean and thoughtful amenities. Not far from grocery store, restaurants, and shops. Had a small issue with t.v., but the hosts were quick and courteous to fix it. We appreciated having a place that offered so much information about Homer.

Cozy home with great view!
My sister and I had the pleasure of staying here while visiting Homer, AK. The place was impeccably clean and felt like a cozy little home, complete with everything we needed. Waking up to the beautiful garden views with trees and mountains in the distance was truly amazing. We felt very well taken care of, with all the essential products provided for a comfortable stay. Definitely will be back!

Visiting family
Absolutely wonderful!! The view from the front yard was breathtaking. I sat outside so much and just took in the beauty of the views and flowers. The home was exceptionally clean and was just perfect for us. Quiet and peaceful but also like 2 min away from town. It was really hard to leave. It was fun to see A momma moose and her baby And later in the week we saw a family of Sandhill cranes … all right outside our window. We met the owners and they were such a lovely couple. We will def book with them again when we return

Clean, comfortable and awesome views!!!
Great property—very clean. I have stayed at the other property on the grounds owned by the same owner—it was also incredibly clean. Beds were comfortable—kitchen had everything you needed. Views were awesome—we even had a mother moose and her babies visiting in the yard. Had some changes to our stay and the owners were very accommodating and kind. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a lovely time at this garden retreat. The grounds are private and so pretty with flowers and birds. We even had a fly over very close by the Sand hill cranes as we were leaving. This place is super clean with a comfy bed. The two bathrooms were nice too. It had everything we needed. Thank you

Great place to stay in Homer
This VRBO is a great place to stay in Homer. It sits on a hill just out of the town proper so you have a beautiful view of the mountains. It is roomy and very comfortable. We stayed for a week and it was a great home base. We had everything we needed including a washer and dryer which was nice. The gardens are beautifully maintained and there was a pair of resident Sandhill Cranes that visited the yard most days, one of which did a courtship dance right in front of me which I was able to video with my iPhone. Being a bird photographer, this was quite a treat! Very happy with our choice and highly recommend.

My husband and I had a wonderful time in Homer and the accommodations were perfect and centrally located. It was clean, neat, and had every thing we needed to be comfortable. The plus was having a washer and dryer to run a load. The view was amazing and surprised us every day with the scenic beauty.
