Great home base with a stocked kitchen and grill. It's a close walk to the beach and to 2 Sisters Bakery - both excellent options to start your day. The rooms were clean and exactly as shown in the photos. The upstairs balcony was awesome. Would definitely stay here again.

Darling house near the water

Couldn’t get any cuter than this. Perfect place to stay when in Homer. Located on a cute street within walking distance to a couple great breakfast places and the beach. Both bedrooms have a full size bed and a twin. The upstairs balcony has a great view of the water. The cabin is charming and has everything you need. We didn’t cook there as Homer has great food, highly recommend the Twisted Goat, but kitchen seemed well equipped. Bathrooms were a good size and the place was well layer out.

Cozy and convenient

What an adorable cozy cottage. We had 8 people so it was a tad congested at times, but we made it work just fine. There was an issue with the sofa sleeper, and Connie expedited fixing the problem for us, which was very appreciated. We had the benefit of binoculars to enjoy a closer look of the two Bald Eagles consistently perched in the tree directly across the street from us. This was a fun place to stay while visiting Homer.

Very nice cottage

We stayed 5 nights in the Homer cottage. The location was nice with the beach across the road from the cottage. The Homer Spit was about a 2 mile drive away. The Spit has many nice shops with jewelry to tshirts. The piers have fishing boats and charter boats. We went to a few restaurants on the spit. I loved the bbq food truck at the very beginning of the spit. We also loved the 2 sisters bakery an easy 5 minute walk from the Cottage. Overall we enjoyed our stay. My only negative was no blackout curtains and it stayed light outside till 1-2am and i like sleeping in darkness. New curtains and I think this cottage would be perfect!!

Small but cute

Beds were comfortable, but there was no comfortable place to sit inside. It rained one of the days we were there, and we spent a lot of time inside. The toilets were very low and difficult to use as we are in our seventies. It would have been much easier with a grab bar. The house was nicely decorated and had all the dishes and utensils you would need. There was even coffee in the fridge - thank you.

Hi Linda, Thank you for your input. I think grab bars at potty side will be a plus, we have them in our handicapped access Garden Cottage (The cottage in the right front). I will see to it. I assume you needed more seating than the sofa and dinette chairs that were in the upstairs lounge. I wish we had room for overstuffed chairs! Hope to see you again one day! Connie

Great family house

We enjoyed the Sea Gypsy so much we returned for a second year. Connie is a great host and responsive to all our questions/needs. The house accommodated our family age ranges of 5-73 yrs old with bathroom on each level and plenty of sleeping space. Our kids loved the second floor family area. We love the decks and ability to cut out some quiet time for the younger kids on the second or first floor when needed. The kids had a nice space to run around in the yard as well. The location is great! We were able to walk down to Beluga Slough in just a couple minute. Bishops beach was just a couple more. We also enjoyed visiting Islands and Ocean Center for Bird Festival activities. We will be back!

Excellent location and clean.

This property was so cute. It was whimsically decorated and clean and comfortable. Linens were new and clean and the floor was well kept. Bathrooms were large and well appointed with linens and body products. It is in close to proximity to several other cabins on the property and can be noisy with the windows open if others are recreating outside. Closing the windows eliminates all noise making it quiet and cozy. No a/c. Heat works well. Everything was super clean. Love the light upstairs & location.My family has medical dietary needs so we try to rent places where I can cook. The kitchen here was functional but could use some updating. The skillets were non stick. There was one small new one but the others were older and the coating was scraping off. The knives were very dull and need sharpened. Sufficient utensils were supplied except a whisk. Dishes for 8 people, only 6 mugs. Microwave is old but works well. The refrigerator has a very broken bottom shelf that has been repaired but didn't take, so it sags down and is hard to put things on without spilling. No ice maker in it. The refrigerator fan runs 100% of the time and is quite noisy. It disturbed the people sleeping in the downstairs room. The stove is newer and the burners worked great, gas/propane with electric ignition. Small sofa in the small living/dining/kitchen area is the only seating downstairs besides the 4 person table and bedroom. Its too uncomfortable to use. The cushions sag down into the metal frame.
