About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Historic Home - Private 28 Acres - 180° Ocean View! - Bob's Suite

The panoramic view of Kachemak Bay from Turkington Estate's private 28 acres is one of the most breathtaking views you can experience while visiting Homer. Grewingk Glacier, Poots Peak, Gull Island, the Homer Spit and more; they're all visible!

Guests might enjoy going for a stroll around the property exploring the various flora that grows wild, picking a snack of wild raspberries from the raspberry patch in the late summer and fall, sit out on the deck and watch the sun set in the late summer evenings or read the diary entries and view photos from the Turkington family's adventures to Alaska in Model A's from Connecticut 70 years ago.

The Turkington's are 4th Generation Alaskans/Homerites and we love the last frontier. We're thrilled you stopped by our website to learn more about the Estate. We hope you'll choose to spend part of your Alaskans adventure with us!

Amazing Views & Relaxing Property
The photos did not do justice to this property. Great location and Joyce, the owner, checked on us after arrival. Just a nice added touch along with some raspberry jam from the yard. The views were amazing. If we ever get back to Homer, we would definitely stay here again and again!!!
