Wonderful apartment

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.

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.
