Wonderful Stay with Stunning Views in Homer Spit

I spent two nights at this beautiful hotel right by the water in Homer Spit. The owner is a genuinely friendly and helpful person who made the stay even more enjoyable. My room was exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated, with an incredible view. I truly enjoyed my visit and will definitely return. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

really loved this inn, the property & location. it has stunning views, was clean & as shown.the staff were extremely nice but the service wasn’t what we expected. the only thing we were disappointed in was that check in said 2pm when we scheduled it, we got no email with instructions like they stated they would send within 24hrs. we messaged twice the morning of check in and got no response, so we eventually went over to the shop underneath to see who we talk to about it and then we were told codes to get in go out after rooms were cleaned which we then didnt get to check in until after 4pm, and still no one addressed the 2pm check in & not checking in until 2 hours later. that was the only thing!

The Shack Inn on the Homer spit was a great place to stay. I was very comfortable staying and the unit that I stayed in was spacious and tastefully done. It was clean and in a great location in order to experience the Homer spit!
