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.

The owner was very helpful. Gave us ideas of places to eat, and some things to do. The apartment was lovely, very roomy, a little alcove where to eat your breakfast and look outside. The first floor is the owner’s bookshop a wonderful place to browse and find that treasured book that you didn’t even know you needed!

This apartment was perfect. Andy always responded promptly to any questions that we had before our trip and was totally accessible during our stay. Check-in could not have been easier. We were surprised that there was a fresh bouquet of flowers and a fruit basket awaiting us. The apartment had everything that we could possibly need and looked exactly like the pictures on the website. The apartment was immaculate and located in a central area. I don't think that we could have found a more perfect place to stay in Homer. My only regret is that we didn't stay here for a longer period of time. Next time we come to Homer (I have a son who lives there) we will definitely be staying here again. My son has already recommended Andy's place to his friends that have family planning to visit. Oh...besides the lovely view, the short walk to the beach and restaurants, we had an added bonus in that a family of eagles was nesting right next to us. It was a magical visit for us and we are looking for our next visit to Homer. Thank you, Andy for making this such a wonderful experience for us.

Came to Homer for several days of fishing. It was a great location, close to groceries and other venues. Was there for 5 nights.The hosts are great! The accommodation is great for a married couple with 2 or 3 children. Or just a couple needing a great get away. It was very clean and everything worked great!

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.

Very nice accommodations with a nice view of the bay. We ate the first night a Fat Olives, excellent pizza. The second night we ate at The Kannery, very good food, a little pricier.The owners left us a tasty blueberry breakfast item which was good. Not "breakfast" provided, but it helped. Note that you have to carry your luggage up the outside stairs but luckily I am still in decent shape.Went halibut fishing on a 57 foot charter and caught our limit of 2 each. Rough waters and drove out 2.5 hours to get to the spot where we caught 48 halibut in a short time. Bring Dramamine for sure no matter what. We ended up taking a second table right away and we were glad we did.

It was incredibly inviting and cozy staying here. We highly recommend choosing to stay here and look forward in returning here! The hosts are very receptive and welcoming. They welcomed us with fresh fruit and dessert. The place was kept very tidy and clean. It had all the necessities including items to make yourself a cup of coffee or cook if needed. The location was superb was it was quiet and close enough to the Spit. The place was located on top of a library/cafe which was so unique and interesting as we felt like it was a “home” away from home. Can’t wait to return back someday to stay in this wonderful gem!
