Having stayed at another establishment in Homer on a prior vacation I chose to book the Ocean Shores this time. I am so glad I did! The proprietor Mike, is a friendly man who really enjoys what he does. The views are exceptional, the access to the beach is fantastic and the rooms are comfortable and very clean. We stayed... More

This property is located on the bluff right as you come into town. At first glance, you realize the rooms are modular units which certainly will not earn it any constructional awards. Aside from this, the room we had was comfortable and clean, but basic with a little table, small refrigerator, and microwave. There was a coffee set-up, too. The... More

Homer is a beautiful little town, even when it is cold and raining.. Our stay at Ocean Shores was ok. The room was clean and conveniently located to everything. However I wished they would have had better window shades because in the summer the days are long and bright. We ended up using the comforter as a curtain which worked... More

The views in the front rooms (closest to the ocean) are fantastic. If that's all you're looking for, this is the place for you. Cheap, threadbare carpet, uncomfortable bed, substandard bathroom, very uncomfortable. Never stay there again.

Dear Valued Guest, We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your stay at Ocean Shores. We try very hard to make our guests comfortable, our rooms are some of the cleanest rooms you will find in Alaska. We hope the rest of your Alaskan trip is wonderful. Best Regards, Pam More

We stayed in the beach front rooms. The view was fantastic and we loved the path down to the beach. The office personnel were very welcoming and gave us great advice for restaurants and things to do while we were in town.

I was skeptical at first. Being from the lower 48, I've seen my share of run down motels. But this was not one of those. Don't judge a book by its cover. You have to see the rooms and meet the owners. They're incredible. Breath taking view, southern Hospitality and the rooms are clean.

We stayed for three nights and enjoyed the quiet, the views and the general surroundings. It was our fourth trip to Alaska and this was among the best places we stayed. The staff was helpful, the location is within walking distance to the grocery store(s), and the view is outstanding. We shall stay here again when we revisit Homer.

I was looking for a place to spend the night after arriving from a backpacking trip. Most people seemed to recommend this place, and it wasn't bad. Just a little overpriced, but maybe that's the norm in Homer during August. Nothing luxurious, but rooms that have a decent size, are clean and have a view (not all of them). Would... More

Spacious motel style rooms with kitchenette and outside balcony. Very clean and light. We had a room nearest the shore and the views of the water and mountains from the room were stunning. A short path from the rooms gives you access to the beach. Owners very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. Would stay here again if returning to... More

Booked this motel on-line after reading some travel tips on the Fodor's Forum web page, from previous travelers. Greeted by owner, friendly, helpful & knowledgeable with Homer. Had an issue our 2nd night there with a dog sitting at our door & owner promptly took care of it. Motel was just what we needed - some place to sleep. You... More
