This was the perfect place for our family of 6 (all adults)! We enjoyed walking on the beach and the amazing views from the deck/balcony! The location was awesome, too! We would definitely choose the Wheelhouse again!!

The Wheelhouse is Awesome! Location on the Spit is perfect. The property is functional and fun. The owners have great communication. My family and I loved the two separate units and will definitely stay here again when we are back in Homer!

Hosts were as helpful as needed. They provided code to enter and information, but asked if we would like to be met in person.
1. LOCATION: Food all around (tacos, fish, ice cream and donuts within feet of the door). Back deck over the ocean and we saw otters, birds and amazing mountains. QUIET! I was astounded that it wasn’t loud, but at night the shops / restaurants close so it is quiet.
2. INSIDE: Downstairs is cozy and slept 3 fine (fabulous trundle). We could all eat around the kitchen table with the stools. Upstairs is lovely with three beds and bathroom. Perfect for my mother so she could have a space to hang out before my teens woke up in the morning.
3. DECK: view is amazing with chairs and tables. Loved the upper deck as you could get sun!
4. PARKING: didn’t have trouble at all finding a spot.
5. WALKING: Perfect for walking towards the end of the spit or towards town. So much beach to enjoy.
6. SWING: under the pier are the swings! So much fun at high tide.

We LOVED staying right in the center of the action on the Homer Spit! So clean and comfy, my family of 7 (2 parents and 5 adult/teen children) thoroughly enjoyed the view out the back door - right on the water with the tide rising and falling before our eyes. Gorgeous long sunsets!! Walking distance to everything: dock ramps for excursion to kachamsk bay SP, tide pool exploration behind pier 1 theater, literally steps from delicious restaurants. Place has all amenities you need. Host provided great advice on things to see/do in Homer. Cannot say enough great things about the Wheelhouse! Will definitely stay here again if I’m ever lucky enough to return to Alaska!!

We absolutely loved the location on the spit and on the boardwalk. We were able to walk to everything and had a beautiful view right on the water. It was great that our (young adult and teenage) children had their own space up above. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Our family of four stayed at The Wheelhouse in late summer and absolutely loved our experience! The cottage is the cutest and in the perfect location - enjoyed being so close to the water, shopping, dining, and fishing. The view from the back porch and upper deck is stunning. We still reminisce about sitting outside watching the sunrise & sunset and walking along the shore that you can easily access. A nearby restaurant employee said that boardwalk was the best one on the Spit and we agree, lol, but think the whole area in and around Homer is amazing as well.
Konna is a wonderful host and keeps the cottage super clean, well stocked, and communicated all the details perfectly. We’d definitely stay there again if we’re lucky enough to go back.

Great location and property.

Such a cool place to stay. Even with the long summer days of sunlight we never wanted to close the windows because of the natural beauty outside. The tide coming in and out alone was worth the experience. We stayed for a week and only moved our car once (and that was to go check out some of the views from in town and to experience the towns 4th of July parade. Otherwise, everything you need is walkable. Great place, great hosts, great experiences.

We like to spend the night in Homer before going out to fish at 6am for halibut. This location is directly across the street from the harbor making it easy to walk out and get on the boat. The house was very comfortable and clean. We will stay here again. The host was amazing as well.

We came to Homer for our son’s wedding. Our other adult son and his family came also. The wind really blew the night we were at the cabin. The water came up under the boardwalk the cabin is on. It was cozy warm in the cabin.

This is a two story small house right in the spit. Short walking distance to the shops and restaurants and beautiful ocean views from the back balconies. The place is well furnished with nice touches , clean, and modern. If you want to be right on the spit this is the place to stay

We stayed there for six nights and had an absolutely wonderful time. The accommodations are comfortable and the place is as clean as can be. The views are beyond compare. The location on the spit cannot be beaten. I don't think that there is another place like it on the spit. Konna is a perfect hostess and made our stay absolutely wonderful. I can't say enough good about the Wheelhouse! It's definitely 5 star!!

This home is so cute! Good location, great views! The home had everything we needed. Easy check in and out. Loved staying here!
5.0
This property was very cute and current (especially by Alaskan standards)! Comfy beds, great location. One complaint is that we had 5 people (which is exactly what’s allowed), but yet there were only 4 wine glasses, and 4 of some other items. Always provide enough for the amount of guest you’re allowing! Other than that, great place!

We adored this cute house on the boardwalk in Homer. Our kids were able to run in and out of the house all day, down to the beach by themselves and around the boardwalk because it felt so safe (the candy shop was a huge hit!) They loved using the swings under the boardwalk and we saw some great wildlife on the beach. The house itself it small but well-equipped, cozy and just what our family needed for our getaway to Alaska. Thank you Konna and Eric for the great stay!! Highly recommend!

Perfection
The Wheelhouse is the perfect home base for a Homer vacation. An absolutely charming space perfectly situated on the water and the boardwalk. Easy access to charters, restaurants, and shops with the waves to lull you to sleep at night. We enjoyed the wildlife viewing off the back decks. Hosts were super responsive and helpful too. Great experience!

The View!!!!!
This house was fantastic and we will absolutely be back! It is literally on the water as well as the boardwalk which we loved! The view was the best part for sure. It was very clean and had a ton of cute extras like coffee, tea, bathroom items, convenient charging ports, etc! And don’t forget to find the treasure box! 😉 The upstairs room with bathroom are like a hidden oasis and the deck up there was just WOW 😍 It was our morning coffee spot. Coffee shop right next store along with shopping and food make it so easy to relax and enjoy yourself. We will absolutely be back!

Perfect Location!
My family and I stayed at the Wheelhouse for 3 nights during our Alaskan trip, and I'm not sure what was better, the location or the owner. The location was right on the spit, within walking distance to shops, restaurants, charters and the marina. It's a really fun location, right in the middle of everything. The owner checked in on us several times, making sure we checked in and out smoothly, provided recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed.
Of course, there is the Wheelhouse itself. It's so charming and cleverly designed and supplied to provide so much in a small space. It's obvious that much thought went into the set up. The kitchenette has everything you need; we even made homemade soup one night. If you are looking for a large, spacious rental, then this may not be the place for you. However, if you appreciate a unique, cozy space, with everything you need and access to all the spit has to offer, consider renting.
My husband had a great time fishing, but my Aunt, my daughters and I took the trip with Alaskan Bear Adventures to Katmai National Park and Reserve to see the bears. It was a once in a lifetime experience, and I highly recommend the company. They were organized, while prioritizing safety and were so respectful of the bears in their home! I also recommend the Fresh Catch Cafe (next door) for a good meal and the Two Sisters Bakery for a morning bite.
We enjoyed every minute of our stay in Homer. Just lovely!

Wheel House Inn
Cozy, convenient property with beautiful view. Living space is tight but it worked out well as we were not spending a lot of time in the rooms. Great to be in the heart of the Homer spit...walking distance to just about everything you need.
Host, Kona is warm and very helpful.

50th Birthday Alaskan Adventure
We spent 3 nights in Homer and stayed at the Wheelhouse. We loved the location and having the back deck right over the ocean. It is small but so well organized that we never felt cramped. It was great having my 3 sons sleep up top and my husband and I slept on the first floor. It was so well decorated and we were even given some Alaskan souvenirs that were much appreciated. It was a great place to stay!!!
