Haven says it all!
This was one of the nicest accommodations we have ever experienced. The hosts, Dan and Nancy, couldn't be nicer and the facility is just amazing. It is in an old tastefully done Catholic Church. The room was spacious and quiet. Breakfasts were outstanding and the facility is an easy drive to restaurants and attractions. We need to find an excuse to get to Wells just so we can stay in the Haven by the Sea once again.

Haven by the Sea is unique; it in an old deconsecrated Catholic Church and so nicely renovated. Nancy and Danny are great hosts. Breakfast was phenomenal, especial the French Toast. It was a good idea to have a bar available even though we didn't use it. Thanks for putting TVs in the guest rooms. We'll be back! Gail & Harry

We apologize that your room was cold. We leave all room temperatures at 66 degrees. We wish we knew while you were here. We would have been happy to help you turn up your heat. Please give us another try at a future date.

Dan cooked a gourmet breakfast. The B&B was warm and cozy. Dan and Nancy were both friendly and hospitable. Everything was clean, tastefully decorated, they were accomodating and it was a short walk to the beach. The rooms were comfortable. The linens, pillows, and beds very comfortable. I highly recommend staying here.

We have stayed at literally over 100 B&Bs, and this is clearly one of my top 5. Nancy and Danny have built a comfortable, elegant Inn without relying on a lot of kitschy stuff. They leave you to yourself, while also offering great suggestions on enjoying the Maine beach area. Breakfast was wonderful. We will be back.

Beautiful property just missed the mark on some basics. Fresh coffee could have bewn available early but was not. More choices for breakfast would have been nice with only one option offered. Onsite bar waa nice but limes were not available but not a huge issue. Hoping to be "wowed" but missed the mark

This place was simply wonderful. The entire place was super clean and so well maintained. Beautifully furnished and the owners make you feel utterly welcome and appreciated. It was quiet and comfortable. Sheets so soft, pillows great. The history of the place is fantastic too. We got a grand tour when we checked in. We went there for our wedding night and because it was raining that day we asked if it was ok if our justice office the peace conducted our wedding in our beautiful room. They were super sweet to oblige. The owners even joined us in our cake cutting and offered us and our witnesses champagne to celebrate. So much more than we ever expected. We cannot wait to come stay here again. This will forever be our place. The view out on the beautiful marshes from the dining area is so relaxing and beautiful. We really wished we didn't have to go back to work the next day, but we will definitely be back again and again. Breakfast was good. Yogurt and granola parfait, then baked egg frittata, lightly dressed salad and toast. Very close to the beach too. Just a few min walk away. Can't wait to return.

The Haven by the Sea was just perfect! We went over Columbus Day weekend and it was our first stay at the Inn. It is beautiful and we loved the uniqueness. It is literally one block over from the ocean, so very easy to walk the beach. The innkeepers were so very nice and welcoming. The breakfast was fabulous. We will definitely go there again!

Wonderful place!! Felt like we were staying at some ones home. The hosts are friendly, helpful and so welcoming. The rooms are charming and beautifully decorated with many decorative objects. Sitting rooms and outside on the porch or back deck are delightful for sitting and relaxing. The location one block to the beach was the best! Enjoy the beach morning noon and night whenever you please. Gourmet breakfast cooked and served every morning were delicious. Staying here was the highlight of our first trip to Maine.

Disgusting B&B **DO NOT STAY HERE!!
This was the absolute WORST hotel experience I have ever encountered. We arrived at about 4 pm to locked doors and no employee insight. No sign on the door notifying us what to do. We waited over 45 minutes and still no employee. The accommodations are run down and very unwelcoming. Extremely patronizing and un-accomodating owners. I will NEVER stay here again. For the money, there are much better and more appealing accommodations in the area. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!
mold on furniture in room
disgusting food that I would not feed my dog.
Creepy, used feel hotel rooms. very filthy.

the room and the bb are both beautiful. Has the class, the romance. The floors are very very noisey out of there control. Shower and tub water heater to supply the bb is terrible. either takes forever, no water pressure and no heat. At 10pm the people who rent upstairs starting stomping on the ceiling for us to quite down when we just came back from dinner and was having a drink with out neighbors. We could see if it was midnight but it was 10pm. Relax and on a Saturday

Awesome & Unique Getaway
My daughter and I stayed at Haven By the Sea for 3 nights for a Mother/Daughter getaway. It was a perfect place for us. The location was awesome -- midway between Ogunquit and Kennebunkport, close to shops, restaurants, a 1 minute walk to Wells Beach and a sunset view of the marsh. Nancy & Dan were good hosts, although since we had a private entrance we did not see them much except during breakfast. The Inn itself is lovely, very unique (as it was originally a church), and there are comfy cozy spots to lounge in. Our suite was more than adequate and nicely furnished with all the amenities we could have asked for including our own mini fridge and a gas fireplace. The bed was comfortable, there were 2 TVs (which we did not use) and a nice sized porch with a high table and 2 high chairs so we could see the ocean view. There were games, puzzles, beach chairs, umbrella, if needed, coolers, etc. We didn't know so we brought our own. It was peaceful and quiet. Breakfast on day one was a bit lacking...honeydew melon, 1 pancake, 1 sausage and a tiny bit of garden salad. Days 2 and 3 were awesome breakfasts! Day 2 was an egg and bacon filled crepe and a fresh fruit salad. Day 3 was freshly homemade apple sauce (YUM) with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream followed by eggs of choice, a sausage and toast. Coffee was always available and Nancy and Dad were attentive to my daughter's dairy free request. I would highly recommend Haven By the Sea and hope to return again soon!
