The Lookout

Perched on a bluff with 180 deg views of Cook Inlet and Kachemak Bay. In the backdrop, Alaska’s Ring of Fire volcanos, Augustine, Iliamna, Redoubt, and Mnt. Douglas. Privacy of 2 acres of outdoor entertainment and only 2 minutes from Homer’s nightlife, fine dining, shops, and art galleries. Comfortable for parties up to 6 and cozy enough for a couples getaway. 1200 sq ft open concept home perfect for socializing and entertaining indoors or out. Breath-taking views from every room to watch ships, fishing boats, whales, eagles, and other wildlife. The home is located on a bluff, the edge is protected by fencing.
Only minutes from the Diamond Creek Trailhead and beach park. Turning left off the Sterling Highway across from Diamond Ridge Road is the access to this trail. You can park here and add a mile or so to your hike or drive down to the trailhead. The trail will lead you through the forest, alders, and tall grass meadows along the bluff before descending to the beach.

A little mix up on the address and ended up in the wrong house but that was quickly resolved. Lauren is an amazing host. We had issues with the water our first day and lauren was on it right away, she even provided a case and 6 gallons of drinking water. The property had amazing veiws. The only bad was the dining room window, the 10 pm sun shines right in your face while sitting on the couch, even with the pull down tinted shade. We will definitely rent this property again when we are ready to visit the Homer area again

Fantastic views of Kachemak Bay and the surrounding mountains. Perfect place for 3 couples traveling together as each couple had their own bed with a king bed. Enjoyed sitting at the table watching the boats go by. Awesome views from the bedrooms. Saw sandhill cranes in the yard

Very comfortable home, nice appliances and artistic touches. But of course the views are everything. Whether outside on the deck, inside in the bedrooms, or just sitting at the kitchen table, the views are fantastic. Sunrises, sunsets, and eagles in between. Unforgettable.

Our stay was amazing. The home was well kept and clean. There was an issue with the electrical down stairs. A lot of lights and outlets were not workin - we did notified the owner. Other than that the stay was beyond what we expected. The views cannot be matched. We’re planing on coming back in a year or two and I will definitely look into staying here again.

Lauran and her home are truly amazing! She’s very responsive to messages and she cares about her guests and their experience! The views are spectacular from inside and outside the home! We saw a bald eagle and Mt. Redoubt from the deck. Mosquitos were non existent as we were able to enjoy bbq’ing, socializing, and a nice fire in the back yard. Be sure to bring firewood! Lauran has a lot covered: matches, binoculars, bear spray, even a Bluetooth speaker! I’d definitely rent Lauran’s place again! Her home is located 10-15 min from Homer and is in a nice neighborhood. I always felt safe!

Heaven on Earth!
The Lookout exceeded our expectations! The house is so well stocked and equipped with everything you could need. Bedrooms are amazingly comfortable, black out blinds are truly appreciated!! The deck was such a great place to gather and relax. The grounds were beautifully maintained and bursting with colors of the season and last but of course not last, the views were magnificent!! On a clear day we could see 5 volcanoes!! Great location close to Homer and the spit but far enough away from all the distractions. The Lookout is a magical location, we will cherish those memories forever.

Spectacular Views, Great home
This was a very nice home on a bluff with amazing views of Cook Inlet. The house was spotlessly clean, the king beds were very comfortable with great sheets and pillows, and there was plentiful hot water and good water pressure. The washer and dryer worked great. A clarification: This house is definitely not "2 minutes from Homer". It is 7.5 miles (15 minutes by car) to Homer Brewing Company in town (go there!), and 11.5 miles (20 minutes by car) to the Salty Dawg. Not an issue for us, but if you really want a place 2 minutes to town, this isn't it. The views across the sound are great, but because of the dense plant growth all around, you can't see the bluff or the beach (you don't really get a sense that you are on top of a cliff). Maybe the aerial/drone photos gave us slightly different expectations. Overall, a great place to stay and we would stay again. We recommend this to others.

Friends Getaway
This property is exactly as listed and even more beautiful. Our group of three couples stayed for two nights. We’d wished we’d had more time in Homer. We enjoyed dinner and shopping at the Spit and then hiked the Diamond Trail which we walked to from the property. Unfortunately the neighbors dog followed us all the way to the highway so even though the dogs are sweet they were a nuisance so I’d suggest either driving to the trail or find a way to inform the neighbor ahead of time so the dogs are put away. Everything we needed was at the property. Lots of dishes, utensils and anything needed to make meals. There was also binoculars and a fishing pole available to use. The views were amazing. I’d highly recommend this place and hope to return.

Nice house, but not what was expected
We enjoyed the home, but had concerns with some of the amenities. Due to the unseasonably hot summer the house was very difficult to keep ventilated. There was no screens in the windows so when opening we had to be extra cautious with the kiddos, and could not keep the bugs out. All the flowering trees attracted bees so it was a challenge. Also, the neighbors dogs jumped in and out of the downstairs windows. We would rate the cleanliness at a two as there were bugs in all the window sills and cobwebs throughout the upstairs. The online description was misleading as it pertained to community involvement. We thought we would be much closer to the downtown area. The description stated it was 2 minutes away; it is more a 15 minute drive. Also, the picture shows a rocky beach where we thought we would have beach access, and sadly this was not the case. Concluding thoughts, the house has beautiful views and maybe the above concerns would be different on a cold Alaskan day.
