Just STEPS to boat charters, world-class restaurants, beaches and ALL that Homer is Famous for...

This Historic Cottage is in the Center of the Homer Spit that is less than the cost of a two hotel rooms that sleeps 7..

DETAILS:

* Sleeps: 7
(Pack'n'Play available to sleep 8)

Carseats and strollers are also available since Little People need stuff too.

* Two SMART TVs (to use your favorite subscriptions or what we have connected)

* Need something not listed? We are always adding details, give us some ideas from your wish list.

* To our previous guests - we have sold the coffee shop. It was a hard decision because we loved giving you "that something extra" but 2020 was difficult and the new owners are amazing, who have shown promises of some great things to come. We made that decision hoping it wasn't the reason you loved staying with us ;) and hope that you can make it back sooner than later. We understand the pandemic but missed you!

* This Beach House was renovated from an old Fishing Lodge, if you are looking for the Famous Cozy Bear Lodge, that used to be on the Spit, you found it! As you can see, it no longer has particle-board walls, creaky beds, and exposed bathroom fixtures...You're Welcome! :)

* We give a Military and extended stay discounts, etc.
BEFORE you book, look for the place that allows you to send owners a message, add in the booking information and tell us the discount information you are asking for, it will let us to edit and add in the discount. Otherwise we will need you to cancel and rebook it to get that discount in for you. Which is no problem, if you missed this part and find it later it's just extra steps on your credit card bill but we are willing...

No Pets at this location. Please see our pet policy for more details..
No Smoking at any of our locations.
**Please see the other pages for the rest of the details: Like our No smoking and No Pets policy, check-ins and outs, door code etc. because the details are a little more involved and this is just a quick overview without all of the "fine print".*** We are very strict on our pet and smoking policies.
