We stayed in Homer for 3 nights, checked out half a dozen of motels and B & Bs, slept in 2 different places. Ocean Shores offered the best value. This place was popular. During our two night stay in mid-September, they were full. All their rooms were clean and spacious, most had views. The first night, we got their last remaining room without ocean view. The room was very big like an apartment with a kitchen (frig., stove, oven, microwave and all). There were restaurants within walking distance. You could also walk to Safeway but we drove.
The room can easily sleeps four. It has two big windows and you can see the glaciers from there. Comfort level of the beds was average. Furniture was basic and the TV was a little small but for the price we were paying, we had no complains. The second night, they had to moved us to a different room because the one we occupied was reserved. They gave us second floor ocean view for the same price. No complains again. Smaller room, simpler kitchen, no oven, same basic furniture and small TV but we got a balcony overlooking the ocean with bald eagle flying by.

OK for the price. Access to the beach is a steep downward hill. Quite a climb back up, not sure little kids or older folks could handle it. It's away from the Spit and you need to drive to sight see or shop. It did have a microwave and fridge. (most do in Alaska) Front desk was very nice and helpful, (you need to ask for a hairdryer) they have lots of info. Room was clean and roomy with private deck looking over the water, not a beach.
Great Place to Stay!

This isn't the nicest place I've stayed at but it is decent. The main thing is that it is so close to the ocean. It's a short path down to the beach which has great tidepooling. At night you can sleep to the sounds of the sea!

When we pulled up to the office for the first time we were impressed with its small town charm. The staff was smiling and very polite. We had no problems and the room was one of the cleanest I have seen in years. The setting is private and calm and minutes from Homer's charming downtown. We will defiantley be back : )
