About this property

Homer Alaska is located on the South end of the Kenai Peninsula on Kachemak Bay and it is one of the jewels of the Kenai Peninsula. It is a very picturesque setting. Whether you look to the East or to the West, the view can be breathtaking. Alaska is on the list for many to visit and sometimes it can be troubling to make the decision on where to stay. There are hundreds of Bed & Breakfast's to stay in, numerous hotels and vacation rentals to choose from. Why choose R&R; because it is as close to home as you can get while being on the road. We offer privacy, real peace and quiet; which that is hard to find now a day's, and a very convenient location when it comes to activities that you might partake in while you are visiting. We are 3.5 miles from the center of town and another 4.5 miles to the Harbor. If you just wanted to take a hike after waking up, without getting in your car, our property abuts to some of the best hiking trails Homer has to offer. Whether you want to walk one mile or five miles, all you need are your hiking boots. Most visitors want to fish while they are in Homer and although we do not offer any guided services, we have been living in the community since 1978 and operated charter boats until the late 1980's. This gives us the opportunity to point you in the direction you want to go without a fee. After recreating, you will want to eat and if you want to come home and put your fresh caught fish on the grill, you can at R&R. All the amenities are provided to do just that. But if you want to dine out, my wife is retired from working in one of the finest eateries in town and had been in the service industry for 19 years. So we still keep abreast of the local eateries that provide good food! We have tried to make R&R affordable for our visitors, especially the ones that want to stay for awhile. Our prices might seem to be low, but that doesn't reflect the condition of the accommodations. It reflects our philosophy with travel. It's a price that we wouldn't mind paying if we were traveling, and it's always nice to be pleasantly surprised. R&R is just perfect for some. We are not the fancy high end resort with a million dollar view. We are simply a quiet comfortable home away from home. I can't ever recall having one of our visitors complain about the place. So if you are coming to the Great Land and visiting Homer, please consider R&R for your stay. Keywords: Apartment, on second floor with 18 stairs to climb

The Perfect Place in Homer

This was one of the best VRBOs we have stayed in The hosts Liz and Billy were very personable. I can't think of anything we wanted that the place did not have! We hope to be back!! Took spectacular pictures of Bald Eagles (perched and in-flight!) and Sea Otters on our hike on Diamond Creek trail.. very close to Liz and Billy's. I also recommend the boat to..fly back excursion to Seldovia with Mako Water Taxi!!

Staying in the country close to town

Relaxing, quiet and greenery everywhere. We had a wonderful time in Homer AK! Liz and Billy were very easy to talk to and gave us great insight on where to see moose, places to eat and Billy was an expert on fishing and gave us a lot of information; which was very much appreciated. Head to the rental first much to our surprise Liz had more things making it more like home then you would think. Coffee beans to grind fresh coffee, filter water, bug spray, sunscreen, laundry soap and fabric softner, kleenx you name it she has it there for you; also brochures information about the area and things to do. All you need is your clothes & slippers. Thanks again Liz for surprising us with a bottle of champagne and fluted glasses for our anniversary it was so kind of you. Billy thanks for the conversations, we enjoyed them. We really enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Pepper

R&R was built for Mother Mary and it is there that she enjoyed the last of her days relaxing and entertaining family and friends. It was her wish to share this with others and that is why R&R is the place to relax and enjoy the quiet peaceful surroundings in a wonderful Alaskan environment.
Billy first came to Homer Alaska from Oahu Hawaii on a NOAA ship as a volunteer back in the late 70's only to fall in love with Homer. He started his dream by building a two story log home in The Last Great Frontier that he and Liz call home to this day. Together they have built a life full of love, family, and friends from hard work and living the Alaskan Dream.
Both have been in the hospitality industry whether it is from Billy starting as a charter captain in the late 70's or from Liz working as a waitress for over 20 years at some of the finest restaurants in Homer. We took those talents and combined them with Mary's love of people and have built R&R for a place for visitors to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

It's a piece of Heaven!

What makes this property unique

For us, it's the place where you can light the sauna, go skiing on 36K of groomed trails, come back from a good ski and have a soothing steam bath all without ever having to get in the car. What more could you ask for? Whether it's hiking or skiing, it's right there in your back yard.
