Girl’s adventure trip
It was nice but needed a place to put our luggage. There was no room for our suitcases in our rooms. There was also no coffee. This place was a little bit too small. I couldn’t turn around in the shower.

At first seemed small for 4 people but we were only 2 so worked out. Cozy cabin. Great location. Close to beach and bakery/restaurants. Next time we will try for one of the two story units.

Exceeded my expectations!
This beach cottage was just perfect. I totally enjoyed my stay in Homer. We loved the neighborhood. Short walk to beach, breakfast at Two Sisters, hiking trail at the end of the street, art….really lovely. There’s a great vibe going on in Homer. A welcome taste of serenity. Don’t deny yourself this treat.

Great location and cabin!
We stayed at La Serena for 4 nights in June with our two children. We loved the location of the cabins being able to walk to restaurants and down to Bishops beach! The cabin was also very clean. Coming from mom with a crawling baby, clean is a must! Connie was also very responsive! I texted her a question and she responded immediately. Would recommend staying here for sure!
