The Aurora Jewel was an amazing place to stay for a family of 6. Everyone had their own space, the views were amazing and our hosts Kath and Rich were attentive. I would highly recommend this property if you are planning to spend any time in Homer, Alaska.

Al! my family really enjoy our stay in Aurora Jewel in Homer, beautiful place with an amazing view of the bay

It was a great house and fit our needs really well. Cousins and their spouse's over 60 getting together for a week of fishing. House was very comfortable and because of the cool rainy weather, it was nice having a fire in the fireplace. Thanks again for everything. We all had a wonderful time.

We have traveled extensively within the US and multiple countries, and oh my goodness--this is by far our FAVORITE place in the world! The space and location are outstanding and work perfectly for our family of five. This home is stocked with everything that you need and if there is an issue, the owners are just a few minutes away. They are so very kind and will do whatever they can to ensure that your stay is memorable! While the location is about 25 minutes from the Homer Spit, it's worth staying out of town. The view is second to none and your chances of wildlife spotting are greatly increased. This is our second stay and it will not be our last!

To start, the view from the lovely aurora jewel is breathtaking. Everywhere you look here in homer is beautiful, but the view from the house is something else. You get a nice full view of the mountains across the ocean. Imagine this: you wake up and the first thing you see is the incredible mountain and ocean view out the window. The house itself is so lovely and spacious. You'd never have to worry about finding an available bathroom, there's many rooms with bathrooms attached. They provided us with wood and an already created set up in the wonderful and cozy fireplace. It's a very comfy and homey place, if you're indecisive of where to stay this place is it! The owners are super kind and considerate and gave us some more details of the area around us. They pointed out some extra spots to check out that were super worth looking at! Incredible owners, incredible space and incredible view. This home is where it's at!

We were a family of eight celebrating a 50-year wedding anniversary, a 20-year wedding anniversary and a High School graduation. I carefully selected this property based on size, location and view. This property did not disappoint! We arrived very late as our flight did not land in Anchorage until after 7pm. What a beautiful drive from Anchorage to Homer, we were just in awe! It is a 3.5-hour drive to the home, welllll took us over 4 hours because we stopped for pictures and dinner along the way. When we arrived, the home was open and ready for us. We met with Kathy and Rich the next morning and they gave us great info on the property and the area. As they were leaving a mama moose and her two babies strolled across the yard, on cue? lol, absolutely amazing!! This home is well appointed and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The YARD and VIEW is where it is at, and so peaceful and quiet, nothing but sounds of the wildlife! Breathtaking views of the bay and glaciers kept us outside for hours just soaking it in. We used the firepit for smores for our grandson and he was able to get his zoomies out on the lawn. The drive into Homer is about 15 minutes, but come on guys, driving anywhere in Alaska is absolutely stunning, so not a problem at all. I would give this home 10 stars if i could and Kathy and Rich 20 for their hospitality. We hope to come back to Homer, and if we do, this is where we will stay!

We loved our stay in Homer! Kathy and Richard were great host. We enjoyed seeing the moose in the yard. Even though the weather wasn’t great we truly enjoyed our time at Aurora Jewel!! We would love to come back and stay in the future!

The view is one of the best in Homer and because it is the Old East End Road there is VERY little traffic. The yard is huge and beautiful, front and back porches for diff erent times of the day, one of them with a great grill. The house is so well equipped and the beds extremely comfortable. Every bedroom has a bath to go with it. When I vacation I spend time in the kitchen and really appreciated all the space and kitchen wares. I would go back again, no question
