This house has a great location up on the hill overlooking Homer's bay and the amazing mountains on the other side. Almost every room in the house has a great view. The views are probably the most spectacular of any lodging I've ever stayed in! Distance from the town is perfect--SafeWay is about 5 minutes away but you don't feel that you are right in town.
Kitchen is very good and well equipped. The beds are comfortable and the living room furniture is quite fine. Lots of interesting books around the house.
We do have a few tiny gripes though. The washer and dryer weren't working--we were provided money to use a laundromat, which is a nice gesture, but it is better to have a washer and dryer. Not a big deal but I infer the problem has been there for a while, and it should be fixed. The water heater is small, but this is probably out of the owner's control, since the water seems to come from a tank and is probably limited in quantity. It's a remote place so you can't expect perfection. The location is a bit tricky to find at first and google maps doesn't really work that well--would be nice if owners would draw a decent hand-drawn map of the roads on the hill and scan it and make that available.
Despite these minor issues we are giving this 5 stars and would definitely recommend the property. Also, Homer is also a terrific town to visit, with startlingly good restaurants.
