Stay in the heart of downtown Homer on a sunny half-acre with a gas fire pit and mural deck made for sunset hangs. This historic 4-bedroom bungalow sleeps 8 and feels surprisingly spacious, with spotless interiors, ultra-comfy beds, and a fully stocked kitchen. Guests love the fast Wi-Fi and cozy work nook, and it’s only a 3–5 minute walk to restaurants, coffee, Pratt Museum, and Bishop’s Beach, with the Homer Spit just 10 minutes away. Wildlife often visits the yard, adding true Alaska magic.
Our centrally located home is 19 years older than Alaska’s statehood and has a colorful past—it once served as a volunteer firehouse, hosted Homer’s first telephone line, and was home to a local fish cannery proprietor. Today, it’s your stylish and comfortable basecamp for Kachemak Bay, the Spit, and the Kenai Mountains.

Nearly everything of interest in Homer is walking distance from the Bungalow. We are centrally located in the heart of Homer and we think you’ll find our location super convenient!
Homer is a humble name for a little town that is anything but ordinary. Named for Homer Pennock, a con man who arrived in 1896 and lured others to the Homer area with promises of gold, the community of Homer evolved from a coal mining town to a center for fishing, farming, ranching, and homesteading and finally to the vibrant regional economic center we see today.
Located near the southern tip of the Kenai Peninsula, Homer is variously described as “where the land ends and the sea begins,” “the cosmic hamlet by the sea,” an arts community, and a fishing community. Common to almost any description is an acknowledgement that Homer is situated in one of the most beautiful places in the world, with spectacular views of Kachemak Bay, the Kenai Mountains, and several volcanic peaks across Cook Inlet including Mt. Augustine, Mt. Iliamna, and Mt. Redoubt.
Homer is also famous for the Homer Spit, a 4.5 mile natural spit of land extending into Kachemak Bay. Accommodating Homer’s port facilities and small boat harbor along with numerous shops, restaurants, the Nick Dudiak “Fishing Hole,” campgrounds, charter fishing and sight-seeing businesses, and other attractions, the Spit is a beehive of activity during the summer months. Commercial fishing remains a vital part of the local economy. Homer lands more halibut than any other port in the world, earning the title of “Halibut Capital of the World.”
Our neighborhood is totally walkable to everything in Homer with numerous bike and walking paths nearby. We recommend you take a stroll around the neighborhood when you arrive to orient yourself to all Homer has to offer.
One of the bedrooms upstairs does not have a door and opens to the hallway.
Both of our bathrooms are located on the lower level.
