Two couples were very comfortable. Upstairs was a nice deck to enjoy the evening. Living room was upstairs too with a TV but we didn’t really utilize that with a great view preferred.

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.

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.

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.

This property was ideal for our family. Location is perfect - a short walk to the beach, numerous food options, close to the museum, grocery store and short drive to spit.

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!

Wonderful at the Shanty
My husband, young adult daughter and I stayed 2 nights. Just a stroll to the beach and short drive to the spit for shopping. Everything was clean and it was really nice to be able to grill on the deck and relax with a view!

Intown Homer
My family group of 6 adults stayed @ Connie’s at the end of July.
It was conveniently located for us fishing off the spit in my son’s boat.
The place was well appointed and comfortable. The view was spectacular especially from the top deck.
Thanks for letting us be together in Homer!

Great Setup for Homer
Great location. Walking distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants. Very quick drive to the Spit and most other Homer attractions. Clean and nicely decorated house with nice outdoor space for hanging out.

Such a nice place.
A lot of thought had been given to make sure the place was furnished with anything that might be needed. Dishes, cookware, linens, lamps - just everything.
We would definitely return and recommend this to friends.

Sea Gypsy
We were moved to the Sea Gypsy so that we could have our dog stay with us. The Sea Gypsy is the perfect vacation rental for Homer. We could walk to Bishop's Beach and enjoy all that Homer has to offer. The Sea Gypsy had plenty of room for the six of us.

Wonderful experience working with Connie in getting ready for our trip. Check in was easy. Just stepping into our home made us feel as if we were in our own home. The cleanliness of the home was exceptional. I definitely would recommend staying at the Sea Shanty I would give a 10 star rating if I could.

Comfortable cottage on Bishop's Beach, Homer
I stayed for two nights (June 18-20, 2021) in the Sea Shanty, one of several cottages in the “Homer Seaside” group in Old Town, two blocks from Bishops Beach. The new manager, Connie, has just taken over and, while I cannot compare with previous years, I think visitors can be confident that their stay will be comfortable. The unit was very clean, the kitchen was well equipped, and the beds very comfortable, possibly new, with all new linens and comforter. I was pleased to find nice shampoo in the shower and even a hair dryer. The Sea Shanty is very well set up for two couples or a family with children. The kitchen and dining room is on the first floor and a living room on the second, with a bedroom and full bath on each floor. The second-floor deck has a view of the mountains and gets good sun in the evening for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The Old Town is my favorite location in Homer because of the proximity to Bishop’s Beach, which changes throughout the day with the tide, but always with a gorgeous view of the mountains across Katchemak Bay.
