STARFISH BUNGALOW AMAZING VIEW!! KACHEMAK DRIVE
This sweet little home is nestled in the trees on Kachemak Drive overlooking Kachemak Bay. Grewingk Glacier is across the bay, the view from the living room, 2 of the bedrooms, and the deck is simply amazing. From the deck, you can hear the surf, smell the fresh sea air, watch the eagles soar, and the boats pass. So VERY relaxing! Make your memories here in this newly restored, fully appointed home.

The best place ever!
Connie went above and beyond for us and our 86 and 90 year old Mum’s, to make this holiday the best it could possibly be.
We loved every minute and everything about our stay at the Starfish Bungalow!
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Connie. Stephanie and Brian

Great stay on the Kachemak bay
Our family had so much fun using the starfish cottage as our home base in Homer. We could’ve spent hours on the deck staring at the glacier and bay view! Saw bald eagles and a few seals! The beds were all very comfortable. Kitchen and bath were both had nices finishes and stocked as one would expect in a premier property. Prompt communication from host. Located close to spit, which was quite handy. Great breakfast/burger place at the boatyard. Highly recommended!

Fabulous Views!
Lovely stay at this very nice bungalow. The views from the deck were lovely, and everything inside was just fine. We enjoyed watching seals and sea otters in the water in front of the cabin. Highlight of our time in Homer was the trip to Halibut Cove. Another highlight was the bookstore in town. We had a delightful stay at the Starfish Bungalow, and we'd be happy to go back again.

Best vacation rental I’ve ever stayed in!!
The views from almost every window took my breath away- SO AMAZING! The place was decorated so tastefully and cute, the kitchen had everything needed to cook like you were in your own home, the BBQ was convenient- what can I say/ this is the only place to stay in Homer. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area again.

The pictures do not give enough justice of the view from the back deck. It is AMAZING! Close enough to everything in Homer including Homer Spit. First visit for our family to Alaska and definitely will be back again. The description, communication, check in and check out processes, etc. where exceptional and would definitely recommend staying at the starfish bungalow. Thank you!!

Best view in town
This house had everything we wanted. Great location, comfortable beds and a view that can't be beat whether inside or out. Connie was super nice and easy to reach. The bathroom needs a bit of repair to fix some loose tiles, but otherwise everything was clean and in good working order. one of the many highlights was having breakfast on the porch with two bald eagles in the nearby tree.

Great stay at the Starfish Bungalow. Located on a bluff overlooking the bay with views of a glacier and snow capped peaks through a large window in the living room and a porch in the front. Nice outdoor grass with a firepit and benches around it. Very clean with excellent accomodations.- 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Full kitchen with good appliance.

The view of the mountains from the deck was unmatched with any other view wherever we have stayed.
We loved the property, and the fact that it had a washer and dryer. The furniture was comfortable and the view was fantastic! It felt secluded and was close to downtown Homer and the Spit.
For the Owner: The only thing that it was missing in the kitchen, were some dish rags to wash the dishes. Also wanted to inform you that the coffee maker came apart . . we were still able to make coffee, but the spring and plastic piece that allowed you to pull out the carafe without it spilling all over, broke or was loose. We just wanted you to be aware of that. Thank you - and if we ever come back again - we will likely stay here!

Comfy house-Incredible views
Starfish Bungalow was a wonderful place to stay. The location was so beautiful and and house was perfect. We just couldn't get over the view sitting in the living room. The bay was gorgeous. The house itself had everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were comfy and the whole place just felt like home. This is where we'll be coming back to when we come to Homer in the future. Thank you.

Incredible Homer Views
Incredible property with views for days. Bedrooms are a bit on the small side, but candidly, who cares!
Place was absolutely great and about a 10 minute drive from the Spit!
