If you are using Yelp to find lodging in Homer Alaska, look no further…read more Marcella is the hostess. She is well grounded, down to earth, and easy to talk to. She can share a wealth of knowledge about the area. And can she cook. Breakfasts are over the top. From freshly ground coffee, to the fresh fruit, egg dishes, her homemade jams on her wonderful slices of bread, smoked salmon, and on and on. We are staying in the forget-me-not room. The tempurpetic mattress is so comfortable. There is a choice of jacuzzi tub, or shower. She has a large assortment of bath gels, shampoos, rinses, creams and emollients. The only problem with this place is that it is hard to leave.

Our first experience in Alaska was at the Cozy Cove Inn. We stayed in the Bear's Paw Studio…read moreApartment. Wow, it was a comfortable, clean and fully stocked place. The Inn is about a 10 minute drive to the Spit in Homer. Our windows overlooked lush greenery and the pacific ocean in the distance. The apartment provided a sitting area, comfy bed, full kitchen-stocked with any kind of breakfast food you could imagine, and a full bathroom. It was so nice, it was hard to leave it daily to explore other areas of Homer. Marcela was a perfect hostess. If you are planning to visit Homer, I strongly suggest checking out Cozy Inn. It sleeps 4. I would love to return to Homer in the future and will no doubt plan my trip around the Cozy Cove availabilities.

Oddities: When I made my reservation, I was asked for my CC number to reserve the house. When I arrived, I was informed that they did not take CC???? I thought I was renting the house, but discovered i was only renting rooms in the house and that potentially my kids and I could be sharing common areas. Fortunately no one else showed up and we had the run of it. Regardless of the oddities, it was an outstanding weekend and our host Claudia was wonderful.

They had good cold brew which my husband went back for seconds before we even left the boardwalk, and I got an iced tea (caffeine limits are sad :( The tea they used was from sipping streams which is a Fairbanks locally made tea which was cool. It was good, but I should have added honey or sugar. But it was fine. Cute on the inside, nowhere to sit. I've never been to Homer in the winter so I only know summer and they probably cater to tourists. You can sit outside on the picnic tables.

The Sea Lion Cove Homer, Alaska…read more There are a few hotel choices to stay at in Homer, Alaska however I highly recommend staying at The Sea Lion Cove. Let me first give you a little background information to keep in mind as you're planning your visit. Homer, Alaska is about a 225 miles drive from Anchorage. You can get to Homer by car, bus or airplane. It's about a 5-6 hour drive from Anchorage to Homer or a 45 minute flight. The drive is very scenic and offers many photo opportunities. Many people include a halibut/fishing day charter when planning their trip to Homer. Most of the fishing charters leave from an area called "The Homer Spit" Which is where The Sea Lion Cove is located. The Homer Spit is a small stretch of land with a few restaurants, tourists shops, a fish packaging center, the location where fishing boat charters depart and there are a couple places to stay at overnight. Now back to The Sea Lion Cove studio accommodations. There is an art studio on the first floor called "Sea Lion Gallery" with the same owners and above the art gallery are two rental studios. The studios are perfectly located within walking distance to the above mentioned restaurants, shops, and boat launching area. There's even a shop where you can purchase a fishing license. Everything you need is right at outside your rental. You have a free parking area so there's no worrying about parking. There are only a total of two studio rentals at this location so booking ahead is essential. Each studio is very similar however I would definitely book the "South Studio" because of a few reasons 1) north studio is not as private as the south studio because the guests in the south studio must walk past the north studio in order to get to the south studio and if you're in the north studio you'll continually see the guest walking past your windows while you are trying to enjoy your view 2) the view in my opinion is better in the south studio because there are corner windows providing an amazing view 3) the south studio has a jetted bath tub if you like that option. So remember there's only two studios 1) The north studio 2) The south studio and you want to book the "SOUTH" studio. It's not that the north is bad it's just when you're sitting admiring the amazing water view from the north studio all of a sudden there's people walking past your windows and balcony at close proximity to get to their studio, trust me south studio is the better choice. Inside the studios you'll find items that give it an apartment feel such as a toaster oven, a toaster, a microwave, a mini fridge, a tiny sink, dishes, a coffee maker, and cups just to name a few things. There's a dining table, tv, bed, futon couch that can be used as a second bed, adequate size bath with a shower and tub. (South side studio offers a jetted tub, the north side studio does not have a jetted tub) Towels and shampoo are supplied. The selling point for me aside from its great location is it's balcony deck that faces the water. Please see the photos I attached to this review. It's so great to wake up directly on the water. There are no buildings between your balcony and the water, it's an amazing view. Drinking your hot beverage in the early morning while watching the fishing boats leave for the day, is a relaxing past time. You can sit in the chairs inside or outside and just take in the views right from your studio. I can't stress enough just how great this studio is. Sure the inside doesn't have a five star feel but it's Alaska and it's a perfect place to rent for its location and view. It's clean, comfortable and quiet. Even though there's a restaurant next door I didn't hear anything my entire stay. I took a halibut fishing charter while in Homer and it was an easy walk to the boat launching area. After the fishing charter, the fish processing center was within walking distance from the studio. The breakfast place ( la Baleine Cafe ) and the dinner restaurant ( Captain Patties ) that I dined at, were both within walking distance and I recommend both dining establishments without hesitation because their food was fresh and delicious and friendly service. It was easy to make the reservations, easy to locate the studios and I would definitely stay here again. I can't say enough good stuff about this studio, for me it fit exactly what I desired and expected that it would look like. I hope the information I've shared has helped you get a good idea what to expect and I hope you choose this south studio and enjoy your visit to Homer, Alaska as much as I did.
