About Property

Experience the magic of the Kenai Peninsula at this historic bungalow by Homestead Hideaways, a personality-filled retreat set on a sunny half-acre in the heart of downtown Homer. This home boasts a colorful past, having served as a volunteer firehouse and hosted the town's first telephone line long before Alaska even became a state. Today, it serves as a stylish and comfortable basecamp for those looking to explore Kachemak Bay and the surrounding wilderness.

Designed to ensure groups actually feel comfortable, the home features 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. All four bedrooms are located upstairs, including a spacious king suite with its own private balcony for morning coffee or evening nightcaps, and three cozy queen bedrooms featuring memory foam mattresses and blackout curtains. Please note that one of the upstairs bedrooms uses a privacy curtain instead of a traditional door. Both full bathrooms are located on the lower level, with one offering a tub/shower combination and the other a walk-in shower.

Inside, walls of windows flood the living and dining areas with a ridiculous amount of Alaska light. You can curl up by the fireplace, enjoy a movie, or gather around the dining table for games. The kitchen is fully stocked for actual cooking, perfect for preparing a fresh-caught halibut. For those needing to stay connected, a tucked-away office nook with fast WiFi allows you to balance work and play effortlessly. The interiors are thoughtfully renovated with West Elm furnishings, updated flooring, and work from local artists throughout.

Outdoor living is a highlight of the property. The expansive yard features a natural gas fire pit, rocking chairs, a picnic table, a charcoal grill, and a mural-covered deck inspired by the Homer Spit. Keep a close eye on the windows, as moose often wander through the yard, adding a touch of true Alaska magic to your stay.

Location is everything here. You are in a totally walkable neighborhood just a 3-minute walk to the Pratt Museum and 5 minutes from local shops, restaurants, and the South Peninsula Hospital. Bishop's Beach and the NWR Visitor Center are a quick 5-minute drive, while the famous Homer Spit—the Halibut Capital of the World—is only 10 minutes away by car.
