NamaStay ~Spectacular Views in Scenic, Convenient Location
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
NamaStay is a 1,400 sq. ft. chalet-style Alaskan home designed as a roomy, comfortable “home base” for exploring Homer. Set on just over an acre, it’s oriented to highlight panoramic views over Kachemak Bay and glacier-studded mountains. The property is smoke-free and is positioned in a scenic area while still being about 6 miles from downtown Homer.
Layout & sleeping arrangements
The home accommodates approximately 2–6 guests with two bedrooms plus an additional sleeping space. The primary bedroom includes a queen bed, walk-in closet, dresser, and an en suite full bathroom; light-canceling shades are provided for bright summer nights. A second loft bedroom has two twin beds, and there’s a fold-down sofa bed in a recessed first-floor area near a 3/4 bath.
Kitchen & in-home comforts
For self-catering stays, NamaStay includes a well-appointed kitchen with an oven/stove and microwave. Practical essentials include heating, free Wi-Fi, and cable TV. A dining area is integrated with the living space, along with a small table and breakfast bar positioned to take in the views.
Outdoor space & surroundings
A patio/deck setup supports outdoor time with lounge seating and space to relax with the scenery. The yard and open fields attract wildlife such as moose and a variety of birds, and a roughly 2-mile walking trail can be accessed in either direction from the home. Free parking is available on site.
Location & nearby dining/airports
NamaStay is in the Homer area, Alaska, with dining options a short drive away, including Water Rudders (~9.1 km), Lil' Tutka Brew Pub (~9.2 km), Fresh Catch Cafe (~10.0 km), Hook & Cook (~10.1 km), Harbor Grill (~10.1 km), and The Chart Room Restaurant (~10.2 km).

Best for
This property is best for travelers who want big Alaska scenery with the comfort and space of a full home, including a well-equipped kitchen and indoor/outdoor areas designed around the views. It also suits couples, friends, and families who prefer to spread out across multiple sleeping areas (queen bedroom, twin loft, plus a fold-down sofa bed) while staying within easy reach of Homer (about 6 miles from downtown).
Travel tips
Plan on having a vehicle: the home is in a scenic area outside downtown Homer, and free parking is provided for easy day trips into town and to the Homer Spit. If you’re flying, Homer Airport is the closest air option (about 7.3 km away), with other regional airports significantly farther. Bring layers even in summer—there’s heating on site, and you may spend extended time on the patio/deck enjoying the long daylight and bay views.
What guests say
Reviews frequently emphasize the sweeping, awe-inspiring views from the home’s windows and outdoor areas, highlighting the scenery as a defining feature of the stay. Guests also note the house feels cozy while still offering enough room for families or two couples to spread out comfortably. Wildlife sightings from the property are mentioned as a memorable bonus. A minor theme is that the home feels a bit older, though it is described as functioning well and meeting guests’ needs for a comfortable visit.
