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.

Perfect homebase for Homer visit

This darling suite is really over a picturesque used bookstore. It was spacious, comfortable and clean. We were able to walk to some really cute places and drive to others. Homer is an eclectic town and we felt the apartment was a perfect vibe for our visit. The hosts made us feel welcome. Very grateful for all the effort they made to create a home away from home.

This place was fantastic. Very quiet anbove the bookstore and located with easy access to many restaurants. Owner was accessible and quick to respond. The only suggestion I would make is maybe black out shades for those not used to the late evening light. Still 5 ⭐️

Not sure you could ask for a more perfect location, above a bookshop - a few mins walk to the beach, lots of food and bakery options nearby. The suite is comfy and feels remote even with all this around. An eagle nest in a nearby tree made for some fun bird watching.

Magical Mermaid house in Homer, Alaska

The cottage apartment over the Inlet Book Shop was perfect for us. It was very comfortable and clean and we enjoyed her welcome note and harbor cherries! It had a wonderful view of the mountains and sea. We could walk to Bishop Beach and watch eagles in a tree. We enjoyed nearby restaurants, bakery, and the Art Center nearby. Will never forget such a darling place to stay.

Amazing experience!

The location and charm of this place is off the charts! Everything was clean, the kitchen had everything we needed, the views were beautiful and we felt so at home and rested. We love books, so we also spent hours in the bookshop downstairs, enjoying the treasures and the most picturesque used bookstore experience! Minutes from the beach, a quick car ride to an incredible playground for the kids, fantastic places to eat around every corner! This is the best location to experience Homer, and will leave you feeling at home. Thank you Andy, for sharing such a great vacation rental with the world! I'm sure we will be back!
