About this property

The Double Eagle Boat Cabin On Land

Featured on the Travel Channel & HGTV.
Stay on the Double Eagle, a fully renovated 75 ft wooden Gulf Shrimp Boat converted to a vacation rental. Three levels with three decks overlooking the Kachemak Bay, volcanoes, mountains, glaciers and the Homer Spit. Spacious living room, 2.5 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, a full kitchen, internet, Smart TV’s, and original bow wheelhouse. Sleeps up to six. The decks offer panorama views of the Bay for dining and relaxing. Large Parking area adjacent to the boat. A few stairs going up to the first deck, the about 12 stairs inside to the top deck and 12 steps inside to the lower level. This old wooden boat may on occasion remind you of smells of a boat, but not always, it’s still a mystery to us after 20 years in operation. But if you are highly sensitive to smells it may not be for you, even though it may only be on occasion. Conveniently locate to downtown Homer about 5 min and the Homer Spit about 17 min.

Superb stay in a superb and unique place. A reconstituted 75’ shrimp boat, with magnificent views is tough to beat. Three floors and 3 decks provide for a lot of space and privacy and the place is fully equipped. Great host and great time. We highly recommend.

I wish I could give it more than 5 stars

This place has breath taking views and is one of the most unique places you could stay. Karen was so accommodating and made this experience for my family one of a kind. You will you not find an experience like this anywhere in Homer let alone most of the world. The time we had there will be memories forever. Cannot wait to comeback.

We had a great time here. The space is small and the floors are slanted but that is part of the charm of this cabin. We loved it! They have a photo book of how they got the place moved and built into a cabin which is really neat. The view is to die for and I wouldn’t change a thing about our stay. The hosts were very responsive when needed.

Ahoy there

The best part of staying in the shrimp boat was the nautical surroundings and unobstructed views of the ocean. The boat is comfortable with three decks where our party could spread out in their own space. The hosts were helpful in recommending fishing spots and provided written recommendations for dining and exploring the area. Nice to have the insight of the hosts rather than relying on the internet.

Awesome property

Our family had a fabulous stay in this unique property. The location was great - it felt secluded but with easy access to Homer and The Spit. The views were incredible and the boat had all we needed for a comfortable stay. We are all short (under 5'9") and had no issues, but we did note the ceiling heights might be less comfortable for a tall family. We would definitely stay again.

Unique property

We picked this property for our stay in Homer because it was unique and thought it would be a fun experience. Boy did it deliver! It was exactly as pictured, except the view, that can not be properly captured. We had a minor problem and it was handled so quickly it was like it never happened. The communication with the owner was above and beyond, not just with the issue, but in giving hints on places to visit and must try restaurants. If you are looking for an amazing place to stay in Homer, you have found it! Thanks for the memories.

Unique Experience

I travel to many places and this place and location is now one of my favorites. This place (boat) is my idea of a perfect vacation home and destination. Every detail is thought of, not only its location with gorgeous views, but also all the extras. This 70’ shrimp boat is spacious, has a fireplace to warm things up, or spacious decks to enjoy the sun and watch the fishing boats go by.

Amazing

We had a delightful stay on "the ship." We were looking for something different that provided space for my dad, me and a teen. It was perfect!!! We had a great vacation, caught a lot of fish, and the great accommodations were a huge part of it! Got great directions, provided contact if we need anything, and couldn't have asked for anything more.

Mom Adventure with 3 adult children

This stay was more than amazing and I cant wait to return. I brought my 3 adult children to Alaska for the trip of a lifetime and it absolutely was. The view from our unique lodging was perfect. I always look for fun and unique places to stay and this was perfect. The location was private yet close to everything. My only regret was not being able to stay longer.

My granddaughter and I spent 4 nights at the Double Eagle and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The ocean views from each room were stunning both morning and night. The owners provided everything you could ever want in a rental and were very helpful with the check in and directions. This unique boat lodging helped make our visit to Homer very memorable. What a hidden gem!
