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!

Amazing Views & Relaxing Property
The photos did not do justice to this property. Great location and Joyce, the owner, checked on us after arrival. Just a nice added touch along with some raspberry jam from the yard. The views were amazing. If we ever get back to Homer, we would definitely stay here again and again!!!

As we have been camping for four nights, the luxury at Turlington Estates was very enjoyable. We arrived to see a flock of sand hill cranes land in the hayfield in front of us, which was absolutely delightful. Joyce met us and welcomed us to her beautiful neighborhood. We picked some fresh raspberries for our breakfast cereal in the morning, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the beautiful katchemak bay.

Beautifully spacious house with the best view. The kids loved being able to run around playing tag on the property and picking the raspberries. We had a wonderful time and plan on renting it again in the future. The hosts were very friendly, asked about my children so they could make sure and leave some age appropriate toys abs puzzles for us, and very quick to respond to questions.

We had an excellent time dugout stay. The property was conveniently located near Homer and easy access to nearby restaurants. We loved the views of the glacier from the front yard and the hosts were awesome. If you’re looking for a place to stay in this area we can highly recommend.

Alaska Getaway
We came to Homer to visit family that had just moved there and let our kids see Alaska for the first time. The house is comfortable and has the best view. Joyce tries to help answer any questions and is there to help. We loved seeing the wild life that comes into the property. We had a mama moose and baby that came by the house almost daily. I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else when visiting Homer!

Nice place for the weekend
The house was very nice, it is set up for 4 large men, if you have wives then you can double up on the beds. The place is very cozy and nice, it is dated but for a place to stay and a nice place to come back to the view is amazing. The owners are very nice folks and take care of everything. There is a view of the glacier in Homer from the house that just makes you relax on the front deck.
It was well worth it.

Wow! Peaceful, serene, private, beautiful!
Commanding views of Kachemak Bay and Grewingk Glacier. For a few fishermen visiting Homer for the first time, this home was perfect. After being on the water all day fishing, it was so nice to return to this very comfortable secluded property. Enjoy a beer on the deck. Watch the cranes take off and land in the field below and stare out across the bay at a living postcard. The home is nicely appointed with everything you need for a very comfortable stay. It's not state of the art, high end appliances, fixtures and furniture. It's Alaska. It's very comfortable, very relaxing and very inviting. Plenty of room to spread out and find your space after being cramped on a boat all day. Alan and Joyce were wonderful hosts, making sure we had everything we needed, including homemade jam from the raspberry garden. We will be back for sure!

Comfortable, clean!!!, beautiful, spacious
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 stay here in future.
