Sea Shanty Homer Fun
Loved our stay at the Sea Shanty. The location is ideal for walking to the beach or enjoying yummy local food establishments. Small hiccup with a foldout couch that Connie quickly addressed even on a holiday weekend.

Perfect location in a town like no other.
We had a wonderful three night stay. This was the perfect location and a perfect place to stay just outside of Homer Spit. Walking distance of Bishop’s beach. Communication and getting in and out of the cottage were very easy. Clean rooms, bathrooms, hot showers, great views and stocked kitchen. My family loved our stay. We’ve already discussed coming back and booking again Thank you for your hospitality!

Perfect Homer Getaway Rental
The Sea Shanty is a great value for a Homer vacation. The cottage was exactly as advertised and a perfect size for my family of five. The property was very clean, up-to-date, and had just about everything needed for our stay. The location is fantastic. It’s a short walk to the beach, coffee and bakeries, and great dining options. Check in/arrival process was simple and efficient. Highly recommended. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

This property was ideal for our family. Location is perfect - a short walk to the beach, numerous food options, close to the museum, grocery store and short drive to spit.

Homer gem
My granddaughter and I spent three nights at the Sea Shanty and it had everything we needed! The kitchen was spacious and had every tool necessary for dining in. Each bedroom had its own bath and we thorough enjoyed the living room and outside space. Morning coffee on the upstairs deck was the perfect way to start the day with chirping birds and bay views. We couldn’t have asked for a more awesome place to call home. Thank you, Connie, for your welcome and directions for an easy checkout. We will return.

Fishing Capital of the World
Perfect location for walking to Bishop Beach and the Visitor Center. The Two Sisters Bakery had delicious goodies and we celebrated a birthday at AJ’s Steakhouse with a free dessert also within walking distance. Fished with Captain Josh at Big Butt Charters and caught a 90 pound and a 100 pound halibut.. Brought home 250 pounds of fish in all. Homer is a great fishing location!

Intown Homer
My family group of 6 adults stayed @ Connie’s at the end of July. It was conveniently located for us fishing off the spit in my son’s boat. The place was well appointed and comfortable. The view was spectacular especially from the top deck. Thanks for letting us be together in Homer! Louise from Maine

Sea Gypsy
We were moved to the Sea Gypsy so that we could have our dog stay with us. The Sea Gypsy is the perfect vacation rental for Homer. We could walk to Bishop's Beach and enjoy all that Homer has to offer. The Sea Gypsy had plenty of room for the six of us.
