About this house rental

The panoramic view of Kachemak Bay from Turkington Estate's private 28 acres is one of the most breathtaking views you can experience while visiting Homer. Grewingk Glacier, Poots Peak, Gull Island, the Homer Spit and more; they're all visible!

Guests might enjoy going for a stroll around the property exploring the various flora that grows wild, picking a snack of wild raspberries from the raspberry patch in the late summer and fall, sit out on the deck and watch the sun set in the late summer evenings or read the diary entries and view photos from the Turkington family's adventures to Alaska in Model A's from Connecticut 70 years ago.

The Turkington's are 4th Generation Alaskans/Homerites and we love the last frontier. We're thrilled you stopped by our website to learn more about the Estate. We hope you'll choose to spend part of your Alaskans adventure with us!

Incredible place to stay in Homer

This beautiful home was perfect for our family. It is spacious and comfortable and is equipped with everything you need. It is a convenient location for visiting Homer and the view from the large living room windows and front deck is incredible! The property was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Wifi works great. It was really nice to have two bathrooms and the large laundry room came in so handy. I was sad to leave and wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else when in the area.

My folks were visiting and I wanted to show them Homer. The Turkington Estate did not disappoint, with a view that would be hard to match right from the living room. We will definitely be visiting again soon.

Not only does this property have stunning views, it was immaculately clean, well appointed and exactly as advertised. The communication with Joyce the owner was very good as she kept us informed of a potential check in issue(which did not happen) due to a very large party checking out before us, but when we encountered her on the property she was very informative on local activities and just very friendly in general. We were able to see a young bull moose, right in the back yard of the house which made my wife's day! I cannot recommend this property highly enough. Thanks for sharing this home with us. Dan

The property was exactly as advertised and much more when we actually arrived. Joyce and Alan were so welcoming and friendly and were there to answer any questions we had. The house is immaculate and very comfortable with magnificent views over the water. It was very quiet and just a short drive from Homer center. We would love to return and would recommend the property anyone wanting a wonderful, relaxing experience.

Majestic views of Alaska glaciers from every room.

My husband and I took a trip to Alaska for our 40th anniversary. Carolyn's Suite at the Turkington property was a highlight of our trip. The views from every room were stunningly beautiful. The house was spacious, comfortable, well appointed and lovingly care for. There were Sandhill Cranes spending the day eating and resting in the meadow. The location was private yet close to Homer. Truly a home away from home.

It is a beautiful home and property, complete with a breathtaking view of the bay and glacier. We were treated to a flock of 40-50 Sandhills Cranes most days and some raspberry picking. This comfortable and well-stocked home is in a great location and Joyce and Alan Tarkington are perfect hosts. Thank you for a lovely stay - we hope to be back one day.

Lovely house with an incredible view

We stayed at the house 2 nights. It was comfortable and super clean. The hosts anticipated questions with helpful notes around the house and included a very interesting history of the house and the Turkingtons. Downtown Homer was only a few minutes drive but I could have stayed two days in the living room looking out at the incredible views of the ocean and mountains.

For our summer family vacation, we wanted to explore the Homer area. We don't really like hotels, so we thought the Turkington estate would suit our needs. Not only did it suit our needs, it was like a dream come true. The house was spotlessly clean and the view of Kachemak Bay and the Homer Spit was spectacular! The place was so spacious and cozy. The owners were very helpful, recommending places to eat and visit, which turned out to be wonderful. The location was a little out of town, which made it a quiet retreat after a busy day of exploring. We would highly recommend Carolyn's suite to anyone looking for a clean, quiet getaway with a view to die for!

The house was very clean and roomy! The living area is so spacious with a post card view. There was more than enough space for us (two couples). The house had everything we needed and more. If we were in the Homer area we would definitely rent this house again. We went Halibut and Salmon fishing and easily caught our limits. Homer is probably my favorite area in Alaska. We highly recommend the Turkington Estate.

We spent 3 nights at this lovely home. Everything was wonderful - comfortable beds, great kitchen, comfy living area and a view to die for! I've stayed in Homer 4 times, and this is by far the best place I've used. I would come back here no questions asked! Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us.

Beautiful house, lovely experience

Beautiful house, lovely experience

The beautiful pictures in the property profile raised our hopes for our stay at the Turkington Estate "Carolyn Suite" and I'm pleased to say that our expectations were exceeded. The property is lovely, the views are amazing, and Joyce and Alan made us feel like we were visiting old friends, rather than merely renting a house for a few nights. My experience with vacation rentals is that they often feel very impersonal, clearly designed to be rented out. Not so with this property. It feels like a home. And being able to pick fresh raspberries for breakfast was a definite highlight of the trip. We very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to anyone visiting Homer.

Amazing!!!

Amazing!!!

If you are visiting homer, you wont' find a better place. Period. The house has amazing views of glaciers and the bay, from huge glass windows on second floor. It was very nice, clean and beautifully decorated, with ample space for two families. We arrived in the evening and could see the fog rising up in the entire valley and then going down during the night. Joyce was very helpful in setting us up. She made an extra effort to get some games for the kids and they loved the board games. We had a chance to taste homemade raspberry pie and do some raspberry picking on the property. Overall, an amazing experience.

Spent the weekend here with family and friends (group of 7), rented the entire house. Decor is older, but does not feel dated, actually more asthetically pleasing in person than the pictures reflect. IMMACULATELY clean!!! Reminds me of my grandmother's house. Beautiful view. Raspberry patch guests are welcome to pick. Joyce, the proprietor, welcomed us on our arrival. Price reasonable for such a nice space. We usually stay on the spit in a beach condo there. I would preferentially choose this property in the future, more homey.

Cannot be better than this stay

Cannot be better than this stay

We have travelled many places, this is the best place we have ever stayed. It is even much better than 5-, 6-star hotels. The house is located on the own owned hill, facing beautiful snow mountains and ocean whenever having dinner, sitting in the calm and styled living room, on balcony and outside the house. Especially, the owner, Joyce and Alan are extremely nice, helpful and friendly, making us like at warm home. Staying here for 2 days will be a forever beautiful memory to us: the smiles and assistance of Joyce and Alan, the fantastic view and extremely comfortable house. Thanks Joyce and Alan, you are in our heart! Best wishes Hao, Yiping, Qun and Jing from Singapore and China

Excellent hospitality with attention to detail

We had a lovely stay at the Turkington Estate. The property is beautiful and spacious, with terrific views of the bay, mountains and glaciers. The suite is an open plan with a large kitchen overlooking the living/dining area. There are two large bedrooms and two large bathrooms with showers. There is a large TV with direct tv, Internet, and a supply of binoculars, games and books. The Turkingtons provided everything we needed- including an extra air mattress and a pack n play. They checked in to make sure we were ok and even gave the kids a ride on the tractor trailer. The property is a few minutes drive from downtown Homer and the Spit. We had a great time.

Comfortable, clean house in a great location.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The owners were fantastic and obviously work very hard to make sure everything is just right. The house was very clean, had a great view, lots of space, and came with lots of little touches that made a difference. It is in a great location, only a few minutes drive from Homer, but in a peaceful country setting. It also provides easy access to nearby hiking trails. Did I mention the views are incredible?! There is also a nice restaurant within walking distance if you chose not to cook and do not want to drive into town. We would stay here again without hesitation on our next visit.
