* 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...

We have stayed here a few times, and it is always great! My kids love the upstairs and having their own space. We love having our own space downstairs and the convivence of the food and coffee places next door is top notch! WE will defiantly be back next summer!
Check in was super easy and it’s in a great spot! Very comfortable beds. We did run out of hot water in the shower at night and one of the garbages had trash in it when we arrived. Otherwise we loved it. Would stay again!
Great location on the boardwalk. Great food options right next door. Saw orcas and otters from the beach off the back porch. Comfy place to lay your head after a day exploring.
Great location!!Went out on a bear hunt and this location was on the spit near the harbor. Several convenient eating locations. Would highly recommend!
The location is amazing! The cottage is cute and for short stays. It had all the necessary items. The hosts’ responsiveness and communication was great. It was clean!
Property was small but totally functional for 4 good sized guys, two upstairs, two down. Location was very comfortable, had everything we needed and location on the spit is awesome! Very pleased, will look to land this treasure next time we come!
This is our third or fourth time staying here. Always a great place to stay. Well located. Super clean and feels like a home. Owners are always easy to get a hold of and a pleasure to deal with.
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!
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!!
We were so excited to reach our destination in Homer and realize that we would be staying in the center of the action right on the boardwalk on the spit! We had gorgeous weather which meant a gorgeous view of the surrounding mountains. While the spot is cozy, it worked well for our group of 6 adults and had everything we needed for our one night stay. The e only minor suggestion would be black out curtains on the main floor to help with sleep in summer. Thank you for a great time in Homer!
This property is in a great location! Oceanside with great views, near the fishing charter pick-ups, shopping, and restaurants. Even in walking distance to the Salty Dog Saloon. The inside is small as advertised but comfortably slept 6 friends with the bonus upstairs apartment. I will definitely be looking to rent this place again for my next visit to Homer!
Loved this place! Lots of character with a sea theme from the decorations to the setting with its views. Very comfortable. We had five people and it worked well for us. Super convenient location.
Our place was amazing! We were right on the ocean and once I shipped my husband and my son to their fishing hole I could go grab a glass of wine and appetizer right next-door. We will be back!
Best spot on the spit! Fell asleep to sound of waves and sat on back deck watching otters swim by. Central to all restaurants and charters. Attention to detail and cleanliness of home along with location was perfect! Owner goes out of their way to ensure you have everything you need.
This cabin exceeded our expectations and was perfect for our family (2 adults, 2 teens). There is definitely room for a couple more! The upstairs access is separate from the downstairs but we felt safe and comfortable with our teens being there… and of course, they LOVED it. You can’t get any closer to the beautiful rocky beach in Homer.

This property was absolutely gorgeous. The kids had a wonderful time playing on the beach and checking out all of the shops. The candy store was probably their favorite 😁. The beds were comfy, the space was cozy and for the location it was surprisingly quiet. The owners are excellent communicators and you can tell that they put a lot of thought and love into the property. Thanks for a great time with family!
Fit the reason we stayed in Homer, a fishing trip. Plenty of restaurants and shops with just about every souvenir you would want from Alaska. Homer Fished Adventures the Black Pearl with Captain Forest Luking was great!
The host of The Wheelhouse answered questions promptly and were very helpful.
This very well maintained property has an ideal location! My sons loved having a separate space and we all enjoyed sitting out on the upper deck the first day with ice cream we got from the shop 2 doors down. Safeway grocery and a great laundromat are just a quick 10 minute drive and a fishing lagoon is across the street or walk 10 min and fish on the end of the Spit. The property is clean, adorably decorated and has all the basics for cooking. The 2 bathrooms are awesome! We also enjoyed watching the tide come up under the back deck—wild how large the tide changes were! Weather for our stay was cold and rainy but we were cheered by the Wheelhouse‘s coziness and heaters!
