About this property

Aurora JEWEL: SERENE with panoramic STUNNING VIEWS, delightful FAMILY retreat

Escape to a relaxed setting with views that inspire awe and wonder. Large cedar house with unobstructed views of Kachemak Bay, the Kenai Mountain Range and three of its glaciers.
Lie in bed and just soak up the natural beauty as the sun rises over the snow-capped mountains. Enjoy an evening fire outside while watching the moose, eagles, and cranes at play. Nestle in front of the two-sided fireplace after a day on the water catching barn-door- sized halibut. Delight in watching family play games in the large yard naturally landscaped with wildflowers. Grill the catch of the day on the back deck, making toasts to the spectacular memories made in Homer, Alaska.
Freezer space available.

Awesome Alaska Visit
The view is one of the best in Homer and because it is the Old East End Road there is VERY little traffic. The yard is huge and beautiful, front and back porches for diff erent times of the day, one of them with a great grill. The house is so well equipped and the beds extremely comfortable. Every bedroom has a bath to go with it. When I vacation I spend time in the kitchen and really appreciated all the space and kitchen wares. I would go back again, no question

A Little Bit of Paradise
We enjoyed our stay at Fitz Creek. The house was in a perfect location just a short distance from Homer. The view was incredible! Our host Katherine was amazing and very helpful. She met us when we arrived and gave us great information about the area.

Our Home Away from Home in Homer
The Aurora Jewel was absolutely great. The home is large and spacious with one of the best views in the Homer area. The house is just spectacular. The surrounding lawn and outside area are large and very well maintained. The hosts, Kathy and Rich, are very welcoming and will provide area information that you will be interested checking out. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely book this home again when in Homer, Alaska. Great home, great view and outstanding hosts!!!!
