Alaska Stay
Our stay at the bungalow met all of our needs. We used the BBQ every night and the wonderful weather we ordered made the our experience even better. We watched eagles and moose from the dining room table and took walks along the water front just steps from the door.

Perfect beach bungalow!
This place is just what we needed for a quick trip. 7 people and a dog slept comfortably in this cozy but spacious house. The proximity to the beach can't be beat! We also walked to the meadery, grocery store, and Wild Honey cafe-- super close to everything!

Great Location
Tons of charm, lots of fun old books and games. Everything worked and was clean. House is old, but that fits the neighborhood. Less than a minute walk to Bishops beach and Sisters Bakery, short walk to Safeway and Fat Olives. Our second stay.

Hope to stay here every time in the future so enjoy it but just don't steal my dates ;) Great location, very cozy, comfy, enjoyable, and efficiently used space in this cottage. Had everything we could want and more. Thank you Connie for the fresh peonies that greeted our arrival, too!

Absolutely adorable!
We enjoyed our stay at Bungalow at Bishop Beach. The communication with the owner was great. The house was adorable and very clean. Very friendly and accommodating! The house was very close to the middle of town and walking distance to the grocery store. We would have loved to try Two Sister's Bakary next door, but sadly it was closed the two days we were there.If we are ever back in Homer, this will be where we stay for sure!

Bungalow Bliss
Connie was easy to communicate with and very accommodating when we needed to adjust our check-in time. Our four kids enjoyed collecting rocks from the nearby beach, and then spent hours painting them on the big deck out back. We highly recommend a stop at The Homer Bookstore to stock up on art supplies and books during your visit too. We have many sweet memories of our time at the Bungalow. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Our Stay
The place was very clean and nice. The curtains didn't completely cover the windows that face the beach parking lot. Pots and pans were minimal as were basic supplies (salt, pepper, oil etc). Place was nice but on the more rustic side. The washer/dryer was a plus. Did get to see a moose with 2 calves walk right next to the porch :)

Perfect
This was a perfect place for our group of 5. Conveniently located by the beach and not far from the important amenities in town. The check-in/out process was simple and communication with the host was great! The only thing I didn’t like was that check out is at 10am; which is a little bit on the earlier side. However, I did know this upon booking. That wouldn’t deter me from staying here again though. Overall, a great place to stay if you are visiting Homer.

Charming, Stunning Views, and Convenient
The location was fantastic - in my opinion, the best place to be in Homer. I really enjoyed walking to the beach whenever I wanted, and having our dog with us was even better. The Homer Spit was a short drive away. Views are great. Because it was winter and pretty windy during our stay, we weren't able to really enjoy the deck, but in summer I bet it is dreamy. The artwork inside is everywhere - benches, pieces, and paintings - even living room shade is a piece of art. The kitchen is small, but has everything needed. The beds were comfortable - both hubby and I have bad backs and we slept well. Lots of towels and pillows were a bonus. I really look forward to staying here in future!

A true Alaska experience that can’t be missed, and a kitchen that I could live in my own house. I wish I had those counters and drawers!
