truly perfect!

stayed with friend, this was just a perfect location- stayed with friend- stunning views from all windows, great set up (complete kitchen, also a washer and dryer!), comfy bed and a wonderful deck. Everything you could need has been thought of, would not hesitate to go back. (Was initially a bit worried about staying over the Salty Dog saloon- did have ear plugs, owner also provided a sound machine in the BDR, but turned out to be just fine). Very highly recommend if staying in Homer :)

This property is literally within walking distance to the entire Spit. It's literally right over Salty Girls and right next to the Salty Dawg. The views are incredible and the property is clean and well maintained and the attention to detail inside was so thoughtful. I actually don't think the listing does this property justice. The deck was so enjoyable that other tourists kept trying to come onto the deck before realizing it was part of the property. The parking is unbeatable for the area too. Super easy and convenient considering the parking police are brutal on the Spit. We would love to return to this peaceful gem. Thank you for wonderful accommodations!

Amazing apartment in Homer

Probably the best view from the spit. The afternoon show, watching the pro fish filet teams after the boats came back was great. Fully equipped kitchen. Easy walk to all restaurants and shops on the spit. Parking just downstairs from the porch.

Great location

My husband and I loved it here! Right off the back deck you can watch them processing huge fish. We found it entertaining! It was pretty loud being right behind the Saloon but we were fine with that and liked being in the middle of it all. Shops and restaurants were walkable. We had a great time. Donna was very responsive and a pleasure to speak with.

Great place to stay on Homer Spit!

We stayed a Friday & Saturday night and were a bit worried about what noise we might hear, especially from the neighboring saloon. But it was no issue at all! The place was quiet, cozy, large, comfortable and clean! The only slight issue was that one day, someone had parked in the designated parking spot, so we had to park in the neighboring lot ($10). But no biggie, it was still close. Great place to stay to be right on the spit and close to the action.

Amazing Location, Views & Host!

We have visited Homer Spit before in 2022. A quaint fishing town with amazing scenery. We could not help but be mesmerized by the views & decided to return in July 2024, this time to stay in a location where we could see all the boats ~ docked, heading out with anticipated excitement or heading back in with grins from ear to ear of their catch. We found an impressive 2nd story vacation rental with incredible views. The best part was WE were the ONLY ones with this view. We could see EVERYTHING in all directions from inside or from outside on the large, elevated deck. The rental is newly renovated, very roomy & was a perfect amount of space for my wife & me. In a fishing town, people park anywhere they can. Thankfully, Donna had reserved a spot for us right near the stairs of the rental. A stackable washer/dryer & soap was located inside the unit, as well as a full kitchen amenities & coffee/tea, etc. This location had the perfect vantage point for anything we wanted. We were close to restaurants, shopping, fishing, a great bar called the Salty Dawg Saloon, & if we wanted to, we could watch the day’s catch being brought up from the boats to be photographed with the angler’s who reeled them in, all of this from a second story vantage point. Did I mention we had the BEST view on the spit? Donna was an outstanding host & was very quick to reply with any questions we had. She genuinely wanted us to have the best experience we could & made us feel incredibly special.

Absolutely gorgeous apt with a fabulous deck that overlooks the harbor! We LOVED our stay here and wish we had time to stay longer. It's close to several restaurants and is right across the street from the beach. There is a bar right next door so there will be louder music until they close but there's a sound machine that helps with that. I would definitely stay here again if I return to the area. We were extremely happy!

That was the best place to stay since I have been going to Homer from the 80's. The accomadations were all and then some. I will be staying there from now on as long as it is available. Meeting Ms. Donna was also a pleasure.

The place to stay on the Spit

This place is wonderful! On the Spit, right next to the harbor and walking distance to everything! I don't think our car moved at all. We walked to shops, restaurants and literally right out the door to our fishing charter. Very clean, has all the amenities and the host is great! We were coming off a 7 day cruise, so the washer and dryer in the unit was a huge blessing.

Absolutely Amazing!! Perfect!!

If you’re looking for a place to stay in, Homer absolutely book this VRBO! It is beautiful, overlooking the harbor with easy access to shopping and, of course, THE Salty Dawg Saloon!Communication with the host was exceptional and the accommodations were above expectations. Everything is spotlessly, clean and in “like new condition”I would rate this among the best places to stay on the Homer Island Spit if not the best place to stay!

Cozy abode in the action!

We loved staying here! It’s private, cozy, and still central to all the action on the Homer spit. My friend and I enjoyed sitting on the deck to watch boats and wildlife and walking to all the shops nearby. We also loved the living room fireplace and the fully stocked kitchen. It was clean we felt very safe. The saloon is next door of course, so make sure to bring some earplugs if you plan to go to bed before 1 AM. :)If you’re looking for a homey landing pad for your walking adventures on the spit, this is a great spot. Thanks for hosting us!
