It was nicely furnished, spacious enough for 4 people, and well equipped with a fully functional kitchen with decent appliances and all the necessary tools for making large sumptious meals for our group. We also enjoyed having a large washer and dryer for a couple of days in the middle of our vacation. ##### Wendell Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey Jul 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Excellent bottom floor retreat. The kitchen was very functional with basic spices and olive oil. Cookware is good quality as were dishes and silverware. The beds were comfortable and clean. Washer and dryer worked very well. This was a great place for our family of two parent and three adult children. It was clean, easy to find, quiet, and gave us a chance to rest and cook our own food in between Homer adventures. ##### Jeffrey Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rodney Jul 14, 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness ##### Rodney Stayed 13 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holland America Denali Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Denali-National-Park-Hotels-Holland-America-Denali-Lodge.h191544.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Solmar at Rancho San Lucas](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Cabos-Hotels-Grand-Solmar-At-Rancho-San-Lucas.h27015880.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló Maya Beach - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Xpu-Ha-Hotels-Barcelo-Maya-Beach-All-Inclusive.h804595.Hotel-Information) > > [Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Denali-National-Park-Hotels-Denali-Princess-Wilderness-Lodge.h63807.Hotel-Information) > > [Staybridge Suites Fargo by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Fargo-Hotels-Staybridge-Suites-Fargo.h1558873.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Salmon Arm](https://www.expedia.ca/Salmon-Arm-Hotels.d6138741.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Castle Kanaloa at Kona](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Kanaloa-At-Kona-By-Castle.h11518173.Hotel-Information) > > [Gladstone House](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Gladstone-House.h2397165.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Erieau](https://www.expedia.ca/Erieau-Hotels.d3000381571.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Beach Hotel in Uruguay](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Uruguay-Beach-Hotel.0-0-d191-tBeachHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Luxury Hotels in Oshawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Oshawa-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d6057905-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Downtown Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Edmonton-Edmonton-Hotels.0-n6057885-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Budweiser Stage](https://www.expedia.ca/Budweiser-Stage-Hotels.0-l6151394-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Clarion Pointe](https://www.expedia.ca/Rimbey-Hotels-Canalta-Rimbey.h1498421.Hotel-Information) > > [BlueDiamondResorts Hotels in Punta Cana](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Blue-Diamond-Resorts.0-0-d601906--bBlueDiamondResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Plata-Hotels-Lifestyle-Holidays-Vacation-Resort-All-Inclusive.h32153817.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Thunder Bay by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Thunder-Bay-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Thunder-Bay.h8465796.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Dublin (DUB) to Cork (ORK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dub/ork/dublin-to-cork) > > [Flights from New York (JFK) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/jfk/ywg/new-york-to-winnipeg) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to British Columbia (YAZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/yaz/winnipeg-to-tofino) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Sosúa (POP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/pop/toronto-to-puerto-plata) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Kralendijk (BON)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/bon/montreal-to-bonaire) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cun/toronto-to-cancun) > > [Flights from Delhi (DEL) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/yyz/delhi-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Nairobi (NBO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nbo/toronto-to-nairobi) > > [Flights from Prince George (YXS) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxs/ywg/prince-george-to-winnipeg) ### Packages > [Puerto Vallarta](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/180016/Puerto-Vallarta) > > [Carter's Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Carters-Beach-Nova-Scotia.d6309719.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Hermosa Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Hermosa-Beach.dx8337)
