We had a great stay. The owner was helpful and full of information and resources. The grounds were lovely and access to the beach was a plus. Everything isn't brand new but everything was very clean and worked. We would come again.

The location was perfect to see Homer. The room was warm and clean. It was an easy walk down to the beach. The beach is almost all stones but still beautiful.

We recently stayed two nights at The Ocean Shores. Our room was very clean and comfortable. It faced the water which made just sitting in there a joy. The hotel is in a quiet area and you can walk directly down to the beach from there. I would most definitely stay there again!

We have stayed at the RV park next door a couple of time, it’s owned by the same folks. They are very friendly and if you new to areas they give you hints on places to go see. I witnessed this when checking in to room. Rooms are clean, beds are very comfortable, we had an ocean view that was fabulous. The Kannery restaurant next door is under new ownership, the food is amazing and wonderful staff.

We were checked in to a room with a paito looking out over the water and the mountains! It was beautiful, there was a pathway down to the water and the grounds were clean and comfortable. Can't say enough about this place! Only thing I wish, is that we had more time to stay here.

check in was smooth, easy and friendly. The room she put me in had the most awesome view of the mountains across from the inlet! There was a path that led down to the beach! I had a private patio with a bench where I spent time just loving the view!!!
