Homer House Rental Photos and Description
House, 3 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths, (Sleeps 7)
A custom 1700 sq. ft. 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath chalet style home located 2.5 miles on Homer’s famous East Hill road, known for its fantastic views of Homer. The house is situated on 3.5 private acres, surrounded by wildflowers and local birch, alder and spruce.
This vacation rental sits along scenic bench land overlooking Homer, considered by many as one of the nicest spots in the Homer area. The location is superb with views of Kachemak Bay, mountains, glaciers and just minutes away, the world famous Homer Spit. Located about 700 feet above sea level, this three and one half acre, south facing location catches all the warmth and long glorious sun our endless summer days offer. While enjoying your stay at Overlook Guest House, you will often see different wildlife species including moose, eagles, hawks, pheasant and an occasional black bear or coyote.
The friendly design is perfect for friends and family. A master bedroom and bath is located on the main floor with master walk-in closet and jetted tub for two. An efficient full kitchen has all the amenities including microwave, dishwasher and breakfast bar. The main floor also has a washer/dryer room with adjacent ½ bath. A dining area seats 6 comfortably and living room appointed with comfortable leather furniture, makes this just the ticket for an active or relaxing vacation. A small deck is accessed from the living room with BBQ and chairs.
Blackout shades for all the bedrooms!

About The Owner
Patrick and I (Dawn) have lived in the beautiful town of Homer for 25 years. We came up to work in our 20's and never left! Neither of us had ever lived by the ocean growing up but once we saw the beauty of Kachemak Bay, the glaciers and mountains; we were here to stay! The small town community with it's abundance of wildlife, green space and friendly people has been the perfect place to raise our children and start our own businesses. We are an outdoors family--our free time is spent fishing and camping in the summer and skating and skiing in the winter. This area truly has everything that we enjoy. We hope our guests can experience Homer and have the vacation of their dreams!
The Owner purchased this house in 2007
Why The Owner chose Kenai Peninsula
Large, private acreage on exclusive East Hill rarely comes on the market in Homer; so when this came around, we just had to buy it! The Overlook Guest House is aptly named as it 'overlooks' Kachemak Bay and the Homer Spit with good views of Eldridge Passage and Yukon Island. The area here on the hill is really nice as it does not get windy and is very sunny. Its proximity to town is good, just a quick 5 minutes. Just wait till you see the views going down East Hill into Homer, really spectacular!
What makes this house unique
I so enjoy the wildflowers that grow in profusion around the house, wild roses thrive on the hillsides here. Often when we are here, there is moose in the yard or occasionally I will see the neighborhood porcupine waddling up from the nearby gulley. It is very peaceful and private; we really enjoy this house!

Awesome property at a great price!
I cannot say enough about the beautiful house and view from the house. I am so pleased that someone with such a beautiful property shares it at an affordable price for normal middle-class families.
The house was very clean, very nice, and did I mention the awesome view? I would definitely recommend this house to everyone. Awesome.
2nd stay - just as great!
This is our second stay at the Overlook. We loved it so much last year we immediately booked the same week for this year. The location, view, and amenities are all great. The house is very clean and there is nearly everything you need. The beds are comfortable and the house is very quiet. The owners are nice and easy to contact and quick to respond. As VRBO owners ourselves, we know it takes a lot of hard work to maintain the same level of quality and service year after year and the Overlook doesn't disappoint! We highly recommend it!
Great location and very clean and neat...just what we needed for our stay in Homer.
Very impressive views from the living room looking out over the Homer Spit. Saw a moose munching away at some bushes in a neighbor's yard. Would definitely rent this home again and again!
Very clean and stunning view!
This home was an excellent choice for our stay in Homer! Upon entering, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was immaculately clean (and I'm a self-proclaimed clean freak!) and very well stocked. The view was just breathtaking from the living room and outside deck. It was less than a ten minute drive to the Spit and the Safeway grocery store. A tip if you stay here; continue UP the hill one day to Wynn Nature Center. It was a fun & easy little hike and we even saw a mama moose and her babies. I would highly recommend this home! Oh, great black-out blinds as well, which were much appreciated in July!
Very clean, spacious and comfortable place with a fabulous view.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! We had stayed in a couple of other places on our Alaska trip, and while we enjoyed all of them, this was the quietest, and most relaxing of all. The kitchen was very well equipped, and the beds were comfortable. Fantastic view of the Homer Spit was the icing on the cake! Would stay here again if we get the chance.
Absolutely wonderful!
This was my first trip to Alaska and after traveling through Denali and down to Homer, I was sold! This house topped off a great trip! We stayed 5 nights and the third night was Summer Solstice. The view was wonderful! Just being able to see the Homer Spit created a beautiful view but seeing the moon rise over the mountains and shine off the bay... well, it was magical! We had a mamma moose come by to visit with her baby and then a porcupine waddled through one evening. How fun! The house is well equipped and can sleep several couples very comfortably. This is a great property for relaxing and is located close to town. It just doesn't get much better than that! I would highly recommend this property!
