Haven By The Sea B&B

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.

Very cozy B&B close to beach. Dated but still inviting. Lots of books and games to play and share with family and friends. Suggestions maybe a kerig coffee machine available for coffee for those early birds. Less heavy bed comforters less cluttter in rooms and hallways. It is such a beautiful Inn less would be more. I was sold on a working fireplace but that was not available. Staff was pleasant and helpful. We will visit again sometime.

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

The B&B is a charming inn that was converted from an old Catholic Church. I was there for business but it is a block from a wonderful beach for those wanting sun and fun time in and by the water. The staff was exceptional.

So close to the sea! Went out and watched the sunrise. Beautiful! The bed was comfortable and the common areas are so cute. My husband thought the Monopoly game was the nicest he had ever seen.

A lovely b&b, minute walk to the beach. Very comfy bed, clean bath. Nice breakfast room w/elegant tablecloths, fresh muffins, cereal choices, bagels/toast. My go-to each morning was the cottage cheese and fresh berries. Nice selection of teas/coffee/cocoa. No fridge/micro in room, but community kitchenette was fine for our needs. Bar service, but we didn’t use it. Games and puzzles, books galore available.

It was a wonderful stay in a beautifully restored church with convenient access to the beach one block away.

Wonderful inn; friendly and welcoming innkeepers, and comfortable, relaxing facilities. A fantastic stay!

This is a unique property in a great location, a block walk to steps down to the beach. The room was comfortable and clean, not large but sufficient for my needs. The common areas are a bit overstuffed with books, games, puzzles, too dark and overcrowded with chairs, ‘decor’, pictures and stuff, but thoughtful to provide abundant entertainment. It is not a quiet building, the old wooden floors creak loudly and echo with walking, door closings, talking. Not easily resolved. Just be prepared for a lot of noises whenever other guests are in the halls. The breakfast room and deck are beautiful but the food was definitely lackluster, about standard Motel 6 fare. The cream for coffee was sour. The muffins still frozen inside, but when thawed, were crumbly and stale. No breakfast meats or warm items. An inn like this should put more effort into providing more than merely an ‘adequate’ breakfast. At least one fresh warm baked product and some sausage or bacon would make a big difference. Rooms do not get tended every day. Because of that, the envelope and prominent sign for gratuities in the room seemed a bit, well, especially since they charge $25 cleaning fee on top of typical hotel rates and don’t staff a front desk. One note - there is no beach at high tide. Seriously, the waves break against the seawall, the bottom of the steps is under water. It is nice at low tide, so plan ahead especially if you want to be on the beach at high tide. Check tide tables online.

Very welcoming and cosy. The building itself was structurally unique. I really enjoyed breakfast in the dining room with outdoor seating as an option. What I didn’t like was leaving!

Old. Needs updated. Appreciate the renovated building, but decor is dated and smells. Breakfast options were limited. Under new ownership as of January. Previous reviews reflected a wonderful breakfast. Only offered grab and go with no protein options. Carb loaded muffins and danishes. Coffee maker did not work.

1 block to beach. Clean, comfortable and lovely breakfast.

I didn’t like our “suite”. Old, dated furnishings with a bedspread that’s probably not cleaned in months. Roll away bed not placed until requested. Then we had to unfold it and set up. The wood floors creak. Very loud with people walking. I would not recommend this place or return to it.

Spacious and clean rooms, convenient beach access, friendly and personable staff. Planning to return next year!

This location was truly charming and exceptionally tidy. Thestaff was friendly and accessible whenever we required assistance. Would definitely stay there again

My stay at Haven By The Sea Bed and Breakfast was exceptional. The establishment was spotless, with beautiful decor that created a warm and inviting atmosphere. Nancy and her staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, going out of their way to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience. It truly felt like a home away from home.

Old, expensive,musty, limited parking,noisy

Clean,beds very comfortable

Lot of noise from floor above and neighboring rooms.

It was very nice, good service, nice atmosphere. Ceiling fan didn’t work and floors squeaked waking us up

Comfortable, cozy space. Breakfast was so so.

It’s a wonderful place, location and the staff were great. However the walls are thin heard snoring all night and the rooms are too dark, did not feel like a beach environment. The breakfast area was very bright and welcoming.

Room was very cold.

A/C did not work. Very warm in room. Couldn’t open window for air no screens. Breakfast was OK but limited in hours.

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.

Awesome hosts. Everything you want or need great location!!

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.

Great location. Very nice accommodations and lots of relaxing spots to hang out in besides the room. Good breakfast and excellent service from staff.

We had a great time. We went up for nostalgic reasons. We enjoyed our stay, the staff was very helpful and pleasant. We highly recomend.

The place is gorgeous!! Very elegant! While check in was a bit of a hassle, the room code was not working to get into the room, no big deal! We called a got it squared away but the customer service was not great. The guy acted like it was an inconvenience to HIM that he had to change it for us. Then upon opening the door finally, it was not as advertised. We booked room 10, a king bed. When we walked in it was a full size bed. Double doors that were unlocked opened into another room with a dining area, couches and a king bedroom. We thought then the entire thing must be ours because there the king bed was. But upon asking the man on the phone, he said that those doors were supposed to be locked as that is a separate room for other guests. He said “sorry you can use the king bed but don’t touch anything else in the room or we will have to charge you triple for cleaning fees. Which was kinda rude and odd to me considering it was not our mistake, it was his. He was very irritated and rude. We decided to just stay in the full size bedroom. Even though we paid for a king, the room was perfectly clean. Bathroom was clean and showers were HOT!! Other than the customer service, it was beautiful.

We loved our stay at Haven By The Sea B&B!! It felt like staying at your grandma’s house, the decor was so cute, it was so quiet and cozy, and there were many breakfast options! The only thing I have to say is that the walls were thin and the pillows uncomfortable, but apart form that, we had the best time. The ladies working there were so helpful with planning our itinerary and filling our needs. Would definitely stay there again:)

Wonderful inn; friendly and welcoming innkeepers, and comfortable, relaxing facilities. A fantastic stay!

1 block to beach. Clean, comfortable and lovely breakfast.

Very unique and nice B&B. We enjoyed our stay. So close to the beach —which is beautiful. Our room got a little warm but overall a good place.

Great place. Incredible building and service. Great location... took a walk on beautiful beach right after check in.

This property has a calm and relaxing feel to it. The staff was extremely helpful and very nice. At check- in we were even offered champagne. They have these nice little wagons that have beach chairs, towels, and a cooler to go to the beach. Breakfast was decent and the location is perfect. I will definitely stay at th Haven by the sea again.

Property is clean but in serious need of updating. We stayed in the #5 suite. Everything in our room was painted a very dismal brown. The decor may have looked good in 1960 but is very tacky now. No AC. Breakfast was very substandard.

The inn’s hosts were very welcoming; they made us feel at home! The breakfast was outstanding, the Inn was well decorated and the property was very unique which was a contributing factor to the overall experience. Would highly recommend!

Very personable host! Lovely inn, spacious and cozy. Breakfast served each morning also gets a 5 star rating! We will be back!

Excellent breakfast

Lovely accommodations and host. Breakfast was amazing. Beautiful beach just a short walk away. Wish we could have stayed longer.
