Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy

Amazing View!

This is a tiny space, but the view is what you want! It's just awesome to sit on the little front porch and look out over Kachemak Bay. We had a very nice time hanging out in this unique little "cabin." Check-in was easy, though it was a little confusing to find the driveway. The main bed is comfortable, but the sofa pull out bed has a dip in it that made for a restless night; definitely time for an upgrade. The distance from downtown Homer was just a short drive. We all agreed we would visit this cute little spot again!

Overpriced and needs remodeling

It was way overpriced for what was supplied. Lack of soap and shampoo.

Great view.

This is a cute efficiency apartment that is below the Moose Caboose. The view over Kachemak Bay is wonderful, and the location is convenient. (I misread the listing and thought that we had rented the Moose Caboose itself. If we are in Homer again, we'll try for the Caboose itself.)
