About this property

STARFISH BUNGALOW AMAZING VIEW!! KACHEMAK DRIVE

This sweet little home is nestled in the trees on Kachemak Drive overlooking Kachemak Bay. Grewingk Glacier is across the bay, the view from the living room, 2 of the bedrooms, and the deck is simply amazing. From the deck, you can hear the surf, smell the fresh sea air, watch the eagles soar, and the boats pass. So VERY relaxing! Make your memories here in this newly restored, fully appointed home.

Best vacation rental I’ve ever stayed in!!

The views from almost every window took my breath away- SO AMAZING! The place was decorated so tastefully and cute, the kitchen had everything needed to cook like you were in your own home, the BBQ was convenient- what can I say/ this is the only place to stay in Homer. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area again.

Fabulous Views!

Lovely stay at this very nice bungalow. The views from the deck were lovely, and everything inside was just fine. We enjoyed watching seals and sea otters in the water in front of the cabin. Highlight of our time in Homer was the trip to Halibut Cove. Another highlight was the bookstore in town. We had a delightful stay at the Starfish Bungalow, and we'd be happy to go back again.

Best view in town

This house had everything we wanted. Great location, comfortable beds and a view that can't be beat whether inside or out. Connie was super nice and easy to reach. The bathroom needs a bit of repair to fix some loose tiles, but otherwise everything was clean and in good working order. one of the many highlights was having breakfast on the porch with two bald eagles in the nearby tree.

Lisa! So happy to hear you were comfortable, cozy, and entertained as well, by our local eagle family! I apologize we had 2 loose wall tiles during your stay. Our bathroom is slated for a remodel this fall, with all new tile! Come again next season and see our upgrade!

Great stay on the Kachemak bay

Our family had so much fun using the starfish cottage as our home base in Homer. We could’ve spent hours on the deck staring at the glacier and bay view! Saw bald eagles and a few seals! The beds were all very comfortable. Kitchen and bath were both had nices finishes and stocked as one would expect in a premier property. Prompt communication from host. Located close to spit, which was quite handy. Great breakfast/burger place at the boatyard. Highly recommended!

The pictures do not give enough justice of the view from the back deck. It is AMAZING! Close enough to everything in Homer including Homer Spit. First visit for our family to Alaska and definitely will be back again.
