About this property

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

Historic Home Comfort, Convenience, and Views!

Beautiful views from a three bedroom family home, with full kitchen, living room, and laundry facilities. The close-to-town, convenient location adds to the benefit of this accommodation.

We renovated this older home to retain its original charms, but also to satisfy our modern tastes and expectations. The result is quaint, bright, and utterly charming with enchanting views of Kachemak Bay, the Kenai Mountains and the Homer Spit. Every window at the front of the house - living room, kitchen, and laundry (!) offer the remarkable views we love so much in Homer.

This is one of three rentals from Alaska Holiday Homes and available on this property. This house is a duplex. Rent all or a combination of the units to bring a large group of family / friends together in one location (in all, beds for 12 - 14 people).

During your stay at this apartment building, you'll be within walking distance of Calvin & Coyle Nature Trail Trailhead. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the apartment.
  • The apartment offers a kitchen, a washing machine and a patio
  • Free WiFi
  • On-site recreation includes a playground
  • 12 minutes on foot from Calvin & Coyle Nature Trail Trailhead and a 2-minute drive from Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies
Historic Home Comfort, Convenience, and Views! offers its guests barbecue grills and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Homer apartment is smoke free.

Heaven in Homer
The home was perfect: location, price, amenities and view. Photos do not do the property justice. My fishing buddy and I usually stay at a local hotel and share a room. For the same price we had an entire house. It was heavenly. Will be staying here again and again.

Wonderful stay, great location.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. It was the perfect size for our four person family, and we found it very relaxing. The living and kitchen areas benefit from really nice natural light and there is a great view of the mountains out the front window. The owners were very friendly and helpful in answering our questions. We would definitely return again.

My husband, my 80 y/o dad and myself enjoyed this historic home for two nights. The home was exactly as described if not better. Peaceful, million dollar views and close to everything. Enjoyed the local cranes, momma and baby moose and snowshoe hares. Hope to be back! Loved the town of Homer!

Fantastic property!
This was our 3rd stay at this beautiful home. It is well kept and always clean and quiet. The view is incredible. It's close to both the Spit and midtown Homer as well as a scenic drive up East End Road. The owners, Kit and Phyllis, are wonderful managers and very responsive to any issues that arise. I highly recommend this property!

Dad’s 81st Birthday July 12-14, 2023
Our stay was amazing. We were there for my boyfriend’s father 81st birthday. We had an amazing time. I love and enjoy the place very much. The place is very clean, welcoming, and very beautiful. The beds are very comfortable. The views are spectacular especially a mother Moose and her two babies came out to the front yard with canvas mountains and bay views. I’m so happy and appreciated for sharing your beautiful home with us. I would love to come back again on the near future. Love the place, Ou

We are three couples traveling around Alaska. Kit and Phyllis’ house was one of the nicest we have stayed in. Everything was as described and the big living room was nice for the six of us to be able to hang out as the weather wasn’t so nice. Thank you for providing a great space with everything we needed.

Cute, clean and comfortable!
This is our second time staying at a property owned by Phyllis and Kit. They are excellent hosts: helpful and communicative. The homes are always spotless, well appointed and include everything you need for a comfortable stay (kitchen items, laundry, even board games). We did find that the mattress in the larger bedroom was too soft for us but this might be a personal preference.
