Haven By The Sea innkeepers, Susan and John Jarvis, are living their dream, providing guests with an experience that is unrivalled in ambience, accommodations, and service.

At Haven By The Sea, attention to detail is king. You can see this in our beautifully appointed common areas and guest rooms -- and in personal touches like the guest journals in each room, the selection of books and brandies in the study, and an expanded Buffet Continental Breakfast is served daily.

Of course, the star attraction is the inn itself: a lovingly restored seaside church. In the twenties, it was the summer mission of St. Martha's Church in Kennebunkport. For three generations of summer residents, it was a place of refuge and celebration. Now guests come from around the world to enjoy its serenity, many returning again and again.

John and Susan have kept the church's original floor plan, its hardwood floors, even a church pew. Once again, it is a true haven - filled with stained glass windows, chandeliers, brightly-painted rooms, and happy voices. While the inn is elegant, the atmosphere is understated, homey, and comfortable.
