We made that decision hoping it wasn't the reason you loved staying with us ;) and hope that you can make it back sooner than later. We understand the pandemic but missed you!

* This Beach House was renovated from an old Fishing Lodge, if you are looking for the Famous Cozy Bear Lodge, that used to be on the Spit, you found it! As you can see, it no longer has particle-board walls, creaky beds, and exposed bathroom fixtures...You're Welcome! :)

Magnificent
Hosts were as helpful as needed. They provided code to enter and information, but asked if we would like to be met in person. 1. LOCATION: Food all around (tacos, fish, ice cream and donuts within feet of the door). Back deck over the ocean and we saw otters, birds and amazing mountains. QUIET! I was astounded that it wasn’t loud, but at night the shops / restaurants close so it is quiet. 2. INSIDE: Downstairs is cozy and slept 3 fine (fabulous trundle). We could all eat around the kitchen table with the stools. Upstairs is lovely with three beds and bathroom. Perfect for my mother so she could have a space to hang out before my teens woke up in the morning. 3. DECK: view is amazing with chairs and tables. Loved the upper deck as you could get sun! 4. PARKING: didn’t have trouble at all finding a spot. 5. WALKING: Perfect for walking towards the end of the spit or towards town. So much beach to enjoy. 6. SWING: under the pier are the swings! So much fun at high tide.

Best Location on the Spit!
We LOVED staying right in the center of the action on the Homer Spit! So clean and comfy, my family of 7 (2 parents and 5 adult/teen children) thoroughly enjoyed the view out the back door - right on the water with the tide rising and falling before our eyes. Gorgeous long sunsets!! Walking distance to everything: dock ramps for excursion to kachamsk bay SP, tide pool exploration behind pier 1 theater, literally steps from delicious restaurants. Place has all amenities you need. Host provided great advice on things to see/do in Homer. Cannot say enough great things about the Wheelhouse! Will definitely stay here again if I’m ever lucky enough to return to Alaska!!

Our favorite beach house
We absolutely loved the location on the spit and on the boardwalk. We were able to walk to everything and had a beautiful view right on the water. It was great that our (young adult and teenage) children had their own space up above. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Perfect Stay on the Spit
Our family of four stayed at The Wheelhouse in late summer and absolutely loved our experience! The cottage is the cutest and in the perfect location - enjoyed being so close to the water, shopping, dining, and fishing. The view from the back porch and upper deck is stunning. We still reminisce about sitting outside watching the sunrise & sunset and walking along the shore that you can easily access. A nearby restaurant employee said that boardwalk was the best one on the Spit and we agree, lol, but think the whole area in and around Homer is amazing as well. Konna is a wonderful host and keeps the cottage super clean, well stocked, and communicated all the details perfectly. We’d definitely stay there again if we’re lucky enough to go back.
