* To our previous guests - we have sold the coffee shop. It was a hard decision because we loved giving you "that something extra" but 2020 was difficult and the new owners are amazing, who have shown promises of some great things to come. We made that decision hoping it wasn't the reason you loved staying with us ;) and hope that you can make it back sooner than later. We understand the pandemic but missed you!

* This Beach House was renovated from an old Fishing Lodge, if you are looking for the Famous Cozy Bear Lodge, that used to be on the Spit, you found it! As you can see, it no longer has particle-board walls, creaky beds, and exposed bathroom fixtures...You're Welcome! :)

* We give a Military and extended stay discounts, etc.
BEFORE you book, look for the place that allows you to send owners a message, add in the booking information and tell us the discount information you are asking for, it will let us to edit and add in the discount. Otherwise we will need you to cancel and rebook it to get that discount in for you. Which is no problem, if you missed this part and find it later it's just extra steps on your credit card bill but we are willing...

**Please see the other pages for the rest of the details: Like our No smoking and No Pets policy, check-ins and outs, door code etc. because the details are a little more involved and this is just a quick overview without all of the "fine print".*** We are very strict on our pet and smoking policies.

We stayed Memorial Day Weekend for a fishing trip. The property was beautiful, right on the water, and easy access to shops on the boardwalk. I would definitely stay here again!

Magnificent
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.

Best Location on the Spit!
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!!

Our favorite beach house
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!
