So glad I stayed at Sea Shanty
First of all the host is wonderful. I had excellent communication and directions of where to park, etc. She checked to make sure all was going well. And she went above and beyond when I left a camera charger and battery. She made sure to look for it multiple times, which I appreciated greatly. Now about the rental, it's really nice. It has plenty of room, was clean, and is in a good, safe, location, within walking distance of plenty of places and a very short drive to anything else in Homer. The kitchen had what we needed to make our breakfasts each morning. The upper balcony was a plus. It was wonderful to sit out and look at the mountains and you can even see Kachemak Bay. Don't hesitate to book this when in Homer, you won't regret it.

Perfect Location
Second time staying at Homer Seaside Cottages. Stayed in the Sea Shanty cottage, which is stocked with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The location can't be beat - short walk to Bishop's Beach, and minutes away from Espresso shop, restaurants, and Two Sisters Bakery. Connie is a perfect host and very accommodating. Can't wait to stay here again.

Loved our stay at the Sea Shanty. The location is ideal for walking to the beach or enjoying yummy local food establishments. Small hiccup with a foldout couch that Connie quickly addressed even on a holiday weekend.

Perfect location in a town like no other.
We had a wonderful three night stay. This was the perfect location and a perfect place to stay just outside of Homer Spit. Walking distance of Bishop’s beach. Communication and getting in and out of the cottage were very easy. Clean rooms, bathrooms, hot showers, great views and stocked kitchen. My family loved our stay. We’ve already discussed coming back and booking again Thank you for your hospitality!

Perfect Homer Getaway Rental
The Sea Shanty is a great value for a Homer vacation. The cottage was exactly as advertised and a perfect size for my family of five. The property was very clean, up-to-date, and had just about everything needed for our stay. The location is fantastic. It’s a short walk to the beach, coffee and bakeries, and great dining options. Check in/arrival process was simple and efficient. Highly recommended. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Homer gem
My granddaughter and I spent three nights at the Sea Shanty and it had everything we needed! The kitchen was spacious and had every tool necessary for dining in. Each bedroom had its own bath and we thorough enjoyed the living room and outside space. Morning coffee on the upstairs deck was the perfect way to start the day with chirping birds and bay views. We couldn’t have asked for a more awesome place to call home. Thank you, Connie, for your welcome and directions for an easy checkout. We will return.

Fishing Capital of the World
Perfect location for walking to Bishop Beach and the Visitor Center. The Two Sisters Bakery had delicious goodies and we celebrated a birthday at AJ’s Steakhouse with a free dessert also within walking distance. Fished with Captain Josh at Big Butt Charters and caught a 90 pound and a 100 pound halibut.. Brought home 250 pounds of fish in all. Homer is a great fishing location!
