Maggie's place is an excellent place to stay in Homer. The kitchen was stocked nicely, the bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable, and the outdoor space and views were spectacular. Would stay again if we are in the Homer area.
The house was really nice and super clean with beautiful views of Kachemak Bay! It was well stocked with everything we needed. The grill was even clean, which was great. We definitely would stay there again if we are back in Homer.
This was our second stay at Heather View. In addition to the million dollar view of Kachemak Bay and across Cook Inlet, the house is beautiful. Great kitchen, nice bedrooms and decks. We also really enjoyed the fire pit. This is a beautiful property and a great host.
Perfect location for a family. Very spacious. Between the three floors, giant yard, and balconies, everyone can have their own space. Well stocked kitchen. Amazing views!
The House and property was better than described and convenient to everything in Homer without being too close. We greatly enjoyed our stay and Maggie’s hospitality. We even got to see a mom and baby moose at midnight just outside the door one night.
We loved our 5 night stay in this very private, large home. Great views, saw a moose and her calf in the neighbor's yard, comfortable beds and great kitchen (with sharp knives, a rarity for rentals!) Would definitely stay here again next time we're in Homer.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, house was stocked with everything we needed. A short drive to grocery store and shops. Nature Center nearby was great as was the guided tour.
The home was great. Very clean and well equipped kitchen. Our only suggestion would be to put a queen sized bed in the guest bedroom and a king sized bed in the master. Maggie is a great host. You will love staying here.
This place was everything I’d hoped it would be. Very comfortable for two couples and the views from the windows and balcony were incredible. I would definitely stay there again if we ever make it back to Homer which we also loved.
This is simply the best property we’ve ever stayed in through VRBO! Amazing home, views, and host!
The host had wonderful communication and showed thoughtful preparation for our arrival and stay.
Close to Homer and all the places and things the area has to offer.
Stop looking and book this property!
Maggie Burns the owner was awesome. A group of four of us fishermen stayed five days, self-catered ,and enjoyed having the two and one-half bathrooms. Of course the views from the decks were magnificent.

Incredibly beautiful and well maintained. Maggie keeps it stocked with many of the everyday items you need. Million dollar views of Kachemak Bay and Cook Inlet. Remote, peaceful and awesome. We hope to be back.
