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.

February Homer Stay
I have stayed at the Ocean View Suite several times on my own and with family and it is my favorite place to stay in Homer. Andy and Sally are the best hosts and the place has the best view, is really nicely furnished and comfortable and has a wonderful location, being close to Bishop's Beach and downtown Homer. I highly recommend a stay!

Perfect!
This was the perfect place to stay! My uncle, dad and I were in Homer for a fishing charter, and this little place at the Old Inlet Bookshop was the perfect spot! We loved the views, walked to every meal, Bishop’s Beach, and all slept comfortably. I hope it’s available the next time I visit Homer because I want to stay here again.
