We spent the second week of our two week stay in Homer at this beautiful beach house. The home is new and carefully designed to take advantage of the views of Kachemak Bay and the mountains and glaciers across the bay. We met the owner of this home and learned how this house came about and how much enjoyment she got in designing it. This made it that much more special to us. There were so many details incorporated into the design that gave this home personality, right down to the backlit stained-glass panes commemorating the Homer Seafarer’s Memorial in the corners of soffit above the kitchen cabinets. Every room was designed to take advantage of the gorgeous view. The décor was well thought out, with unique pieces of furniture and accessories that gave this home a great sense of style without being fussy. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, making cooking easy and enjoyable, especially with the view from the large kitchen windows. The house is located right on the beach although a staircase is provided to access the beach from the yard. A deck runs the length of the back of the house overlooking the beach. During high tide, you feel like you’re on a cruise ship with only water in view. During a very high tide one morning, water covered the bottom stair of the steps to the beach. During low tide, you can walk quite a way out toward the surf and beachcomb. We watched seals and otters from the deck and fairly regularly enjoyed eagles flying overhead and landing in nearby trees. The house is very clean and well kept, both inside and out. We loved it and plan to come back on our next trip to Homer. As mentioned in another review of the home we stayed at prior to Seafarer’s, we were very impressed with Connie and Lauren with the property management company, Island Watch. We’ve worked with lots of management companies over quite a few years of vacation home rental, and were impressed with the personal service and helpfulness of these folks. As mentioned, we rented two homes from them for our two week vacation in Homer. The Island Watch folks were very helpful in the transition between the two properties and made the overall rental process easy. We highly recommend Island Watch and Seafarer’s Beach House!
