About this property

Historic - Private 28 Acres - 180° Ocean View! - Carolyn's suite

  • The panoramic view of Kachemak Bay from Turkington Estate's private 28 acres is one of the most breathtaking views you can experience while visiting Homer. Grewingk Glacier, Poots Peak, Gull Island, the Homer Spit and more; they're all visible!

    Guests might enjoy going for a stroll around the property exploring the various flora that grows wild, picking a snack of wild raspberries from the raspberry patch in the late summer and fall, sit out on the deck and watch the sun set in the late summer evenings or read the diary entries and view photos from the Turkington family's adventures to Alaska in Model A's from Connecticut 70 years ago.

    The Turkington's are 4th Generation Alaskans/Homerites and we love the last frontier. We're thrilled you stopped by our website to learn more about the Estate. We hope you'll choose to spend part of your Alaskans adventure with us!

very comfortable home with all the amenities. Hostess was lovely and very accommodating. Beautiful deck with colorful flowers that were tended to daily. Not too far from town and shopping, while providing a feeling of solitude. We were visited by cranes and beautiful views.

Incredible views! Lots of space and easy access to Homer for our family. Needed to do some remote work and wifi was not very strong. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Gorgeous views!

Enjoyed our stay. Close to Homer Spit which we totally enjoyed. And the guys were successful halibut fishing. Mama moose and the 2 babies on property with the bald eagles flying above were a big plus! The hostess was very nice and informative. Thank you for giving us such wonderful memories 😊

Unbelievably wonderful stay

The property was exactly as advertised and much more when we actually arrived. Joyce and Alan were so welcoming and friendly and were there to answer any questions we had. The house is immaculate and very comfortable with magnificent views over the water. It was very quiet and just a short drive from Homer center. We would love to return and would recommend the property anyone wanting a wonderful, relaxing experience.

Incredible place to stay in Homer

This beautiful home was perfect for our family. It is spacious and comfortable and is equipped with everything you need. It is a convenient location for visiting Homer and the view from the large living room windows and front deck is incredible! The property was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Wifi works great. It was really nice to have two bathrooms and the large laundry room came in so handy. I was sad to leave and wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else when in the area.

Cannot be better than this stay

We have travelled many places, this is the best place we have ever stayed. It is even much better than 5-, 6-star hotels. The house is located on the own owned hill, facing beautiful snow mountains and ocean whenever having dinner, sitting in the calm and styled living room, on balcony and outside the house. Especially, the owner, Joyce and Alan are extremely nice, helpful and friendly, making us like at warm home. Staying here for 2 days will be a forever beautiful memory to us: the smiles and assistance of Joyce and Alan, the fantastic view and extremely comfortable house. Thanks Joyce and Alan, you are in our heart! Best wishes Hao, Yiping, Qun and Jing from Singapore and China

Worth the Visit

My folks were visiting and I wanted to show them Homer. The Turkington Estate did not disappoint, with a view that would be hard to match right from the living room. We will definitely be visiting again soon.

Second time here and will surely come again!!

Not only does this property have stunning views, it was immaculately clean, well appointed and exactly as advertised. The communication with Joyce the owner was very good as she kept us informed of a potential check in issue(which did not happen) due to a very large party checking out before us, but when we encountered her on the property she was very informative on local activities and just very friendly in general. We were able to see a young bull moose, right in the back yard of the house which made my wife's day! I cannot recommend this property highly enough. Thanks for sharing this home with us. Dan

Majestic views of Alaska glaciers from every room.

My husband and I took a trip to Alaska for our 40th anniversary. Carolyn's Suite at the Turkington property was a highlight of our trip. The views from every room were stunningly beautiful. The house was spacious, comfortable, well appointed and lovingly care for. There were Sandhill Cranes spending the day eating and resting in the meadow. The location was private yet close to Homer. Truly a home away from home.

Absolutely loved it!

It is a beautiful home and property, complete with a breathtaking view of the bay and glacier. We were treated to a flock of 40-50 Sandhills Cranes most days and some raspberry picking. This comfortable and well-stocked home is in a great location and Joyce and Alan Tarkington are perfect hosts. Thank you for a lovely stay - we hope to be back one day.
