* To our previous guests - we have sold the coffee shop. It was a hard decision because we loved giving you "that something extra" but 2020 was difficult and the new owners are amazing, who have shown promises of some great things to come. 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! :)

BEFORE you book, look for the place that allows you to send owners a message, add in the booking information and tell us the discount information you are asking for, it will let us to edit and add in the discount. Otherwise we will need you to cancel and rebook it to get that discount in for you. Which is no problem, if you missed this part and find it later it's just extra steps on your credit card bill but we are willing...

**Please see the other pages for the rest of the details: Like our No smoking and No Pets policy, check-ins and outs, door code etc. because the details are a little more involved and this is just a quick overview without all of the "fine print".*** We are very strict on our pet and smoking policies.

Right on boardwalk

The house was very comfortable. We all slept great. The decor is cute. The location is tops. Just a few things that should be noted. One thing not noted in the description is that the house is literally a store front on the board walk. I didn’t mind, but some people might, and it would have been good to know. People are walking right by your sleeping head until midnight. Also, the three single beds are upstairs and you have to go outside to access the room. Would have been nice to know. Luckily my kids are big enough that it wasn’t a problem but if you had little kids it might be an issue. Lastly, make sure you take notice of the deposit required. Over all I enjoyed the property but I thought there were some pretty big details that should have been in the description.

Cute cozy spot

We were so excited to reach our destination in Homer and realize that we would be staying in the center of the action right on the boardwalk on the spit! We had gorgeous weather which meant a gorgeous view of the surrounding mountains. While the spot is cozy, it worked well for our group of 6 adults and had everything we needed for our one night stay. The e only minor suggestion would be black out curtains on the main floor to help with sleep in summer. Thank you for a great time in Homer!

Wouldn't go back

It was kind of cute but wouldn't go back there again. There is no privacy because it's right on the strip in the middle of restaurant shops and the bed was very uncomfortable and I could smell sweat off the sheets. Pretty gross.

Great location on the boardwalk. Great food options right next door. Saw orcas and otters from the beach off the back porch. Comfy place to lay your head after a day exploring.

Right in the heart of the spit action! Kids loved low tide for skipping rocks and finding cool creatures. We saw eagles, a sea lion we named "Sparky", loons, king salmon, star fish, jellyfish, and crabs. The front board walk has access to coffee, food, gifts, and games. Everything is in walking distance on the spit. Recommend sleep mask & ear plugs which helped us unplug from the action. Coffee and breakfast at BBs was great.

Fun little place!

This very well maintained property has an ideal location! My sons loved having a separate space and we all enjoyed sitting out on the upper deck the first day with ice cream we got from the shop 2 doors down. Safeway grocery and a great laundromat are just a quick 10 minute drive and a fishing lagoon is across the street or walk 10 min and fish on the end of the Spit. The property is clean, adorably decorated and has all the basics for cooking. The 2 bathrooms are awesome! We also enjoyed watching the tide come up under the back deck—wild how large the tide changes were! Weather for our stay was cold and rainy but we were cheered by the Wheelhouse‘s coziness and heaters!

The Spit

Great/unique location right over the water! The waves crashing under you lull you into a deep sleep; woke up to otters floating out back! Well-appointed unit with everything you could need for a stay on the Spit. (Highly recommend the restaurant next door “Fresh Catch” terrific food and excellent service.) I was traveling with my husband, and three adult sons- plenty of room for everyone and their gear. We would absolutely stay at, and recommend, Wheelhouse.

Such a unique place!

We’re still talking about our one-night stay here as being a highlight of our Alaskan fishing adventure! It’s such a unique place and was perfect for the four of us (2 downstairs and 2 upstairs). For such a small place, it amazed me at how the owners had thought of and included everything you need! And when our charter was canceled last minute the next morning, the owners gave suggestions on who to talk to for alternative plans, and we ended up having a wonderful day on the Spit. Don’t hesitate to book this place!

Family trip

Such a fun place for kids. I’m surprised we were able to get them to leave. I’m sure this will be the rental that is the measurement of all other rentals in their travels. None will compare to being right on the beach. If the opportunity arises we will definitely stay here again. I don’t know how the owners can change the wording of how the property is laid out to make it more clear about the two areas being separate but I’d suggest they do that.
