Homey
Check in was easy. Owner gave us an upgraded room because we arrived before a tour group. Basic accomodations, but we came to see bears, not hang out at the hotel. There's a restaurant nearby, but very noisy. There's also a trail down to the rocky beach.

Do check out this sweet spot!
What a gem of a hotel is Ocean Shores in Homer, Alaska! I can't say enough about the comfort, cleanliness and friendliness of this place. In addition it's located right along the shore. Our room had the cutest deck with chairs. The price is reasonable, too. Ocean Shores . . . one of the highlights of our trip!

Ocean Shores provides a very clean and safe environment. It is quaint with a comfortable local vibe and decor. The landscaping and summer flowers are beautiful and there is an excellent view of Kachemak Bay with an easy access trail to the beach.
