Clean, comfortable and room for everyone.
We stayed in Homer and this place was located just minutes from the Spit, Wildlife museum and hikes. The kids loved the bunk beds and the two bathroom were a necessity! Owner was also flexible when I had to make a date change.

Sweet little home. We ran the grill out of gas. The management was able to pick up the empty and fill it ASAP. Much appreciated for the supper plans. Easy for check in and check out. I would recommend to all.

Perfect Family Accommodations
Bayview Dream was exactly what worked for our family. The home is fully stocked, the beds/linens are very comfortable and the house is in a great location with views and frequent crane visitors. Laura is wonderful host and responded quickly to any questions or needs we had. There was plenty of materials/info about the area and things to do and Laura also offered suggestions. We would definitely stay there again 💙🏔🎣

We liked being close to the marina for fishing, close to the grocery stores. This is a newly remodeled place and new to nightly rentals if that weren’t the case I’d have rated differently.

Great base camp for a family exploring Homer.
Very comfortable and easy for families that came together to get to spend time with grandma (who was volunteering at the islands and oceans visitor center for the simmer), Perfect for coming back after a busy day of hiking, tidepooling or whatever else!

Homer AK Bayview
We were visiting Homer for a family memorial, so we were not sightseeing and enjoying all of the great outdoor activities Homer has to offer. That being said, house was great, well stocked (especially the kitchen- which is sometimes not the case w VRBO rentals), had great location and was a perfect landing spot for our family.
