Nightly Moose visitors

The house was nice, had a great layout and a beautiful location! We used this home as a jumping off place for our Homer fishing adventures. Awesome access to the Spit for shopping, and beautiful views all night long. We had moose visit nightly as our highlight!

Nice Location but the property next door is being cleared

The property next door is being cleared with heavy equipment. They are also using chain saws to cut trees down. I know this will be short lived but sitting outside to enjoy the view and yard is not possible. It was not a pleasant experience for us. We were told we waited to long to make a complaint. We checked in on a Thursday evening, heard the noise from next door on Friday, went for all day hike on Saturday and left to the sound of chain saws, Sunday was quiet, Monday they were back at it so we went to Bishops Beach, and we left Tuesday morning. If you have booked this place, you will see and hear the activity next door. Good luck 🙁

Great Place, Great Location!

We so much enjoyed our stay at Coal Bay Cottage. The cottage is very comfortable, in excellent condition and very easy to get in and out of (no stairs). The location is excellent, with a fantastic view of the Homer Spit, the bay, mountains and glaciers on the other side. It's also close to the airport, Homer and the spit. Would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the Homer area!

Bday trip

This property served our purposes more than expected. Very clean, well stocked kitchen utensils, clean and adequate supplies of bathroom towels, functional equipment, great BBQ grill and more things I am sure!!! Jen was always a timely communicator and went the extra step to coordinate mail receipt for a special occasion. There was a minor plumbing issue that Jen remedied quickly! The setting was perfect and truly set the tone for a peaceful visit to Homer. I would return in a heartbeat! Thoroughly enjoyed the 3 wk stay!!!

Homer 06/01 - 06/08/2019

What a beautiful home and location, it was perfect for the 6 of us. Plenty of room, big kitchen, very comfortable beds. The view from the home was so amazing it would take your breath away. We went whale watching, bear viewing, halibut fishing. We had such a great vacation, the home in Homer is conveniently located to shopping, and restaurants. We will definitely be back. The only suggestion I would make is to have darker window shades in the bedrooms for the long daylight hours. With that being said, it in no way hindered our trip and the fun we had. Thank you so much for allowing us the use of your beautiful home.

Great home!

Great rental, right on the water with great view of Katchemak Bay. You can’t access the water from the property, as there is a steep cliff, but great views. The home is wonderfully updated and very cozy. Plenty of amenities, and moose right in the yard. Would highly recommend this home to anyone. We had a great time.

This was a great place to stay-we absolutely loved it! Great view!

We absolutely loved staying at coal cottage! The pillows and bedding were so amazing, the appliances were new and the couches are comfy. Such a nice place to retreat to. The tv was a smart tv so not only able to watch tv but also able to get to Spotify and listen to music that matched the mood. Highly recommend this place to anyone that is looking for lodging in beautiful Homer.

More like Home, than Home

We absolutely Loved the Cottage in Coal Bay. We have rented 30+ properties over the years and this one is at the top because how well it is furnished. They thought of everything from a well stocked kitchen (that lacked nothing) to an ample supply for key spices and coffee/tea's. Thank you for providing the kitchen, laundry and toiletry supplies. It was so much fun cooking in the large kitchen and I BBQ'd 7 of our 8 nights on the premium Weber Gas Grill. The home is beautiful inside and out and the view is beyond AMAZING. I did not Previously know the Management Team, but Jen and her crew took great care of us and do a great job to make you feel more at home, than home is. Thank you so much for an excellent vacation and we will be returning to do it again soon. The Miller Family 7-24 thru 8-2-18
