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.

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!
