About this property

Ocean View Suite Homer Alaska Cafe/Bookshop/Beach

The Old Inlet Bookshop, Mermaid Café and B&B is located on Main Street in beautiful downtown Homer, just off the Sterling Highway towards the beach. In a renovated historic log cabin, there is a used bookshop offering quality used books in most genres. Next door, there is the Mermaid Café that serves lunch and dinner. Upstairs is the Mermaid B&B in a charming Victorian style construction--it is well appointed and features local artwork.

In a private, wooded setting in Old Town, Homer, the Mermaid B&B offers a scenic, clean place to stay with a queen sized Posturepedic bed in the bedroom and a full sized fold-out futon in the living room. The dining room is in the turret with windows looking out over Kachemak Bay and the mountains and glaciers beyond. The kitchen is fully equipped and has everything one needs to prepare meals. Private deck offers ocean and mountain views and is a great place to enjoy coffee or any other beverage.

The establishment is within a few minutes walk of the beach, grocery stores, banks, post-office, movie theater and other dining opportunities. We include fresh locally roasted organic coffee beans. We look forward to your stay.

We had a wonderful time staying at the Ocean View Suite in Homer. The property was just as advertised, and it was so lovely. The hosts were very easy to communicate with, and we enjoyed the wonderful views of the bay and mountains, and the close proximity to everything in town.

Beautiful, quiet place to stay. Safeway and a laundromat are both close by and we loved walking to breakfast at Wild Honey. Bring sleep masks in the summer, especially if someone will be sleeping in the living area.
