Very clean. Nice gardens. Very close to town. Bonus was the 4 sandhill cranes that flew into the yard and hung out for awhile. Good place for a quick overnight stay connecting with other plans.

Great 1 bedroom house with beautiful views close to downtown and the Spit. We had a wonderful stay. The host was super responsive and the accommodations were exceptionally clean and comfortable. We were visited each morning by a beautiful crane

Great property—very clean. I have stayed at the other property on the grounds owned by the same owner—it was also incredibly clean. Beds were comfortable—kitchen had everything you needed. Views were awesome—we even had a mother moose and her babies visiting in the yard. Had some changes to our stay and the owners were very accommodating and kind. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a lovely time at this garden retreat. The grounds are private and so pretty with flowers and birds. We even had a fly over very close by the Sand hill cranes as we were leaving. This place is super clean with a comfy bed. The two bathrooms were nice too. It had everything we needed. Thank you

Great communication, and easy check-in. The garden apartment is clean, light and spacious with laundry and two bathrooms that have good lighting. There's charging ports for various devices and big windows with views. It's very quiet when no tenants are staying in the house above.

Great place to stay in Homer
This VRBO is a great place to stay in Homer. It sits on a hill just out of the town proper so you have a beautiful view of the mountains. It is roomy and very comfortable. We stayed for a week and it was a great home base. We had everything we needed including a washer and dryer which was nice. The gardens are beautifully maintained and there was a pair of resident Sandhill Cranes that visited the yard most days, one of which did a courtship dance right in front of me which I was able to video with my iPhone. Being a bird photographer, this was quite a treat! Very happy with our choice and highly recommend.

My husband and I had a wonderful time in Homer and the accommodations were perfect and centrally located. It was clean, neat, and had every thing we needed to be comfortable. The plus was having a washer and dryer to run a load. The view was amazing and surprised us every day with the scenic beauty.

Trip to visit our son who is in AK fishing.
This property was perfect for us! We were able to see our son as his schedule allowed & plenty to do when he was busy. Very clean and everything we needed to feel at home for the week we were there! Having two full bathrooms was a definite plus! Phyllis even checked in through text to make sure we had everything we needed!

Homer Quiet
Unit was very well maintained, spacious, clean and nicely equipped (French press and phone charger were a bonus). Location had nice views and was conveniently located. This was a lower unit and the upper unoccupied so can’t say what the experience would be like with people above.

Quiet retreat
Phyllis's property is perfectly situated in the hills of Homer overlooking some of the town, Katchemak Bay and the mountains on the other side of the bay. The house is spacious and comfortable and I would book it again.

Moose love this place
Myself, my mother and my 2 boys, age 4 and 7 all stayed here and we loved it. The views were spectacular, location is super quiet and my boys could play hide and seek outside. It’s the simple things with kids sometimes. We will for sure stay here again in the next couple years. Also very close to the spit. Phyllis was fantastic!

We each had our own bathroom, lots of space, (like being in a huge apartment) immaculate. The driveway to the property really needs to be leveled out, it was like driving a jeep trail. That was our only negative, everything else was wonderful.

Fantastic !
We loved the property and the view. The weather helped as we had a G& T or two each evening looking over the bay. Inside was fantastic with a really comfortable bed. It is the best accommodation we have stayed in in Alaska. Loved having a gas BBQ, hope I was able to Kleen it enough. You have our email, if you ever make it to Perth give us a call, we'd love to meet you.
Regards,
Graham and Linda Cragg

Moose views close up
Sarah and I were in town for fishing, hiking, and bay cruises and this apartment was perfect. A moose dropped by on two different days with her baby, also sand hill cranes visited. Plenty of black-out curtains for getting a regular rest for us outsiders. Close to town, everything works, thanks!
