Million Dollar Views from the 6 bedrooms, 4 bath Grand View Retreat!
About this house rental
Nestled in Fritz Creek, this charming house for £324 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Welcome to the Grand View Retreat, where 30 foot walls of windows bring iconic views of Kachemak Bay, the Alaskan Mountains, Cooks Inlet, Dixon Glacier, Portlock Glacier, Grewingk Glacier, and the famous Homer Spit right into your living room. At night the moonlight casts shadows on the water and mountain peaks, and lights glowing on the nearby Homer Spit fill the sky. Three living rooms, three view decks, a chef’s kitchen, parking for ten and 5,200 sq. ft. of indoor space provide plenty of area for the entire extended family and friends to relax and unwind after a day catching their limit of halibut or salmon, hiking Kachemak Bay’s gorgeous trails, or taking a trip on the Danny-J wooden ferry to Gull Island and Halibut Cove across the bay. After socializing with your group, enjoy some quiet time in one of the 6 private bedrooms and clean up in one of the 4 bathrooms, including two with ensuite 2 person jacuzzi tubs. With so many unique spaces the Grand View Retreat is Homer's #1 destination for both family game nights and romantic getaways, expansive views and cozy retreats. The Chalet is located just 9 miles outside Homer, the Halibut Capital of the World and a renowned artist and foodie haven. Being just outside of town means you can safely view Alaskan wildlife from the 3 expansive wood decks in the Chalet, including bears, our resident moose family, and bald eagles; or walk along the Spit and look for seals, otters, and the occasional whale. Your friendly and knowledgeable hosts have owned and operated the Grand View Retreat since 2005, and are available by phone or email 24/7. We hope you enjoy your stay in the most unforgettable property in Homer! *Notes: The Cozy Corner Cabin (a studio attached cabin) is rented separately from the Grand View Resort, and is on the same property. Everyone writes in our guestbook… “Your beautiful home looks like those featured in magazines. What a magnificent view!” - Lois from California “This was a wonderful Alaska experience and it began the minute we walked up the steps of this house and saw the most picturesque 180 degree views I have ever seen. Staying in this house was the highlight of our trip- we will definitely be back and must stay in this house.” – Tom & Melinda, Georgia “I can’t say enough about the view, I could’ve spent hours looking out the giant picture windows but we were too busy with all the activities in Homer and the surrounding areas!” – Diane & Bob, California “Beautiful! Never seen anything like it before. Nothing can or will compare!” – KY “What a view! You could spend the week just watching the changing landscape over the water.” – Chidekel Family from Pennsylvania and California “I hope I see this vista when I close my eyes at home for a long time. Simply Awesome.” Lori and Tom from Delaware Kids write in our guestbook… “The view was incredible! We sure hope we can visit Homer and this cabin again.” Meredith, age 10, from Michigan “I love this house sooooooooo much!! It is huge and beautiful.” Juliet, age 8, from Pennsylvania “Best time EVER! I recommend whale watching. The main whale we saw was breaching and jumping and flipping his tail for us. I even started crying.” – Asia, age 12, from California “I’d love to live hear! Sadly I can’t” – Ella, age 8, from Pennsylvania Family Reunions write in our guestbook… “What a home – we brought family and friends from 3 countries, 4 states, and many towns. Could not have asked for a better place. I hope the view will last for ever in my memory. We saw tons of moose, pheasant, and even a little black bear from the front deck, wow!” “We are a family of 16 and we have had the best time of our lives. This house is so beautiful and accommodated us all very nicely.” – Joanne and family from CA “Wowee Zowee! Fantastic House. Thanks for all the wonderful things you have here- beautiful pots & pans, blender, VIEWS, GLACIERS, MOOSE, WHALES! – Kate and Family from Maryland “The stay was comfortable and relaxing and above all STRESS FREE. Home away from home with all the modern amenities.” -Mani from Florida “Your home is gorgeous, wish we could stay a month here.” – Rick and Jill, Michigan Couples tell us in our guestbook… “A perfect setting for five couples- loved the resident moose who wandered in the yard!” – The Bridges, Oldendorfs, Enustrands, Kanes, and Bates family from Minnesota and beyond. “The view… well the view! My hubby and I needed a romantic getaway to remember all of the wonderful times we’ve had. I can’t imagine a better place to give the wedding vows a little jump start! This place has helped us to see clearly that we belong together forever.” – T & K from California “Our whole trip has been life changing” – Ron and Christine Wildlife Lovers tell us in our guestbook… “I’m seen humpback whales, puffins, bald eagles, moose, shopped, climbed a mountain, kayaked, caught a giant fish, and sat around this awesome house playing cards and taking Jacuzzi baths.” – Chelsea from Oklahoma “Your Home is a treasure. We saw whales, went sea kayaking, hiking by the glacier and flying above it! We caught halibut and salmon and ate very well. We saw moose, mountain goats, bear, and beautiful birds. We don’t want to leave.” – The Aaron from Pennsylvania “Birds seen or heard from the house: Bald Eagle, Alder Flycatcher, Varied Thrush, Hermit Thrush, Swainston’s Thrush, Junco, Brown Creeper, Savannah Sparrow, Raven, Golden-Crowned Sparrow, Yellow-Rumped Warbler, Robin, Gray Jay, Violet-Green Sparrow, Red-Breasted Nuthatch.” – Katherine from Massachusetts “Our eight days in Homer have been over the top. We enjoyed every minute and can’t stop looking at those white encrusted Kenai Mountains. May, although early, is a great time to visit AK! The Shorebird Festival was wonderful! We will be back!!!” – Jim and Susan from Washington *Additional amenities: BBQ Grill on deck, satellite TV, assortment of DVDs and board games, off street parking for 10 vehicles. **Have a question?

We were a family of 11-parents, adult kids and 2 grandkids and rented the whole house to give us plenty of room for everyone. When you walk in the views really do take your breath away! Our weather wasn't the best but even on a rainy day you had the beautiful views overlooking the mountains and the water. The home is a well built, custom home, very spacious and well cared for with a fully stocked kitchen. The kids loved having their own hang out space in the upstairs loft! Plenty of parking, 10-15 min to town. Excellent communication from the owner. This home with its vaulted ceilings and stunning views are what you think of when you imagine an Alaskan rental!

We really enjoyed our stay! From drinking coffee on one of the decks in the morning to relaxing and playing games in the main living area after a day of exploring, hiking, adventuring, or for cooking breakfast, the house had everything we needed — with spectacular views! We also really loved watching the moose who visited regularly. There was space for the 11 of us to also have a little time apart when needed. Great stay!

Fantastic views and lovely home! Easy to feel like home. Very nice floor plan and always a place to escape for a little privacy with extra living rooms. There wasn’t a thing the louse lacked for us! Wonderful place for family reunion! Loved it! 😍

The Grandview exceeded our expectations. The house had plenty of room for our group of 9. Perfect distance from the spit and the view is amazing. The nearby Fritz Creek store had what we didn’t bring. We even golfed nearby, fun little par 3. I would highly recommend this property for a large family. I could sit on that deck all day:)

We thought we were getting two hot tubs for all to soak in but were in individual bedrooms
So no group soaking
Bottom bedrooms were noisy due to the washer and dryer and the water pump in the other running at times

Great for family vacation. Even has a high chair and baby gates toys a cooler we used for fishing, we cooked a big pot of chilli in the beautiful kitchen. If you consider the loft for a bedroom it’s an open area though:)

We were a multigenerational group of seven and this property was fantastic for providing adequate group gathering space as well as bedroom space so each could have their own. The view from the main living space was incredible, you could not ask for more. Viewing wildlife in your yard was exhilarating and rewarding especially for the Grandchildren. This place is fantastic

We very much enjoyed our stay here with our large family group. Everyone was comfortable and enjoyed the space. There were plenty of towels and kitchen items. We did not want for anything. This home is a tremendous value for how many bedrooms there are and the incredible view. We will definitely stay again if we visit Homer with the family. Even when it was cloudy, the views were great. Highly recommend!

The Grandview Retreat over exceeded our expectations. Large enough to accommodate 10 of my family members. Enough bedrooms for all of us to sleep comfortably and plenty of bathrooms so we weren't struggling to get ready. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to cook and coffee was provided even though we brought our own. We had plenty of seating to eat dinner together and the view overlooking the Kachemac Bay and The Spit was incredible. The option to do laundry was a lifesaver for us as we did a few loads so we had clothes for the tail end of our trip. Please stay here if you are in Homer. It is gorgeous and the communication with owner was wonderful! You will not be disappointed!

Great house- clean and had everything we needed! The views were the best though. This was really the best lodging in Homer. We used it as a jumping point for a family fishing trip and a bear-plane excursion.

The house has a truly stunning view with Moose mom and babies in the back yard! With a large group, we were able to spread out and enjoy good company without being on top of each other. The location was great. We were very happy with our stay. If it matters to you — the internet is a bit spotty.

Went to catch some salmon off the spit and eat some halibut...this house was a great launch pad for that. Great view, big enough for 8 of us with room for lots more!

This was our 5th time staying with Michael. We will for sure return year after year. It is the perfect house in the most beautiful location in Homer for us. We saw moose everyday in the yard and this year we saw several baby moose.
The house is just beautiful and we are always so comfortable staying there.
Thank you again for keeping the home so perfect year after year.
