Pros:

It was a one-of-a-kind experience being right on the ocean. We had a storm which was a little frightening but once it was done it was incredible to have gone through

We would definitely stay here again-we enjoyed it and it was a great birthday gift.
Pros:

We loved the location and being able to have the windows open and look at and hear the ocean all night! It was very comfortable and the kurig made it nice for hot tea/ coffee. The smores kits were super cute as well(:

Cons:

There was not a balcony attached to the room like the pictures suggested and the listed amenities suggested-however it is a short walk to a pretty private deck you can use or you can walk down to the beach very easily.

Pros:

A once-in-a-lifetime experience! Wake up to a view of the ocean and mountains. Had all the basics. The weather didn't cooperate (fierce wind) but it was still awesome. The host went above and beyond for us. Just beware that booking through expedia may provide inaccurate information (there is no elevator! There is no washing machine).

Pros:

really loved this inn, the property & location. it has stunning views, was clean & as shown.the staff were extremely nice but the service wasn’t what we expected. the only thing we were disappointed in was that check in said 2pm
when we scheduled it, we got no email with instructions like they stated they would send within 24hrs. we messaged twice the morning of check in and got no response, so we eventually went over to the shop underneath to see who we talk to about it and then we were told codes to get in go out after rooms were cleaned which we then didnt get to check in until after 4pm, and still no one addressed the 2pm check in & not checking in until 2 hours later. that was the only thing!

Lovely place, comfortable interior but loud, close to road and no privacy
Pros:

Furnished well, good location

Cons:

Very noisy- it is on top of a bait shop and has decking on two sides. There is no privacy when people walk by because they can easily see in the windows and the whole place shook- I thought there was an earthquake the first time someone walked by. Since it is on the street it felt unsafe sleeping with the windows open- someone could easily walk up and climb through. There was no way to secure the window partially open so I rigged a system with a hanger. You can hear through the walls- our neighbors were having loud sex! It is also right on the main road and there was traffic all night.

Pros:

This was the perfect location if you want to be on the Homer spit. Close to shopping and restaurants and the ocean can be seen from every window. Beds were super comfy and the shower hot. We will return if we need lodging in Homer again!

We loved it. The beds were comfy and the sheets buttery soft. View was gorgeous. Large tidal range during our stay so th
Pros:

Beautiful views and convenient location. Especially loved the proximity to the incredible oyster bar next door.

Cons:

There was no sign and no check in/out instructions sent so it was a bit odd going into the downstairs tackle shop and inquiring when we arrived. I would expect a smoother process for the $300 a night rate we were paying. Thankfully the sweet young lady working at the tackle shop was able to contact the host and get us the door code and wifi info.

Pros:

We absolutely loved the location. We enjoyed our night there and wished it was longer. The views are amazing. You are within walking distance of everything and close enough to Homer if you need to run and get something.
