We had a great stay at the sea haven! The house was large with the most gorgeous views. We enjoyed walking down to the beach every morning and even cooked dinner and sat overlooking the ocean in the windowed dining room! Although there was no washer and dryer the house was equipt with plenty of towels during our stay for both showering and the beach! We walked down to fortune rocks beach and enjoyed driving into Biddeford for some breakfast and shopping. Everything is very local and we look forward to booking this stay again in the future.

Quirky Cottage with amazing water views & filled with thrifted finds. Bring the binoculars!! We love old buildings and all the character that comes with them & this Maine summer cottage was no exception. Direct access to a small beach & parking on site for 2 cars. The owner Suzanne was incredibly responsive and helpful. Please note: towels & linens are an extra charge & need to be added on. The bedding could use a refresh. The older fold out couches were not comfortable.

Gentle Beautiful Sea Haven

It was amazing to be able to walk out to our beach backyard with the whole family! The dogs had a blast watching the tide and the full moon was radiant. The mornings were extra special with coffee on the beach porch. The meals we had were full of memories because we could actually see the whole ocean while eating! Thank you for an unforgettable stay at this amazing place!

Mainly beach escape

Sea Haven is the quintessential summer cottage/ camp. It is dated but serviceable and clean, well maintained. Gorgeous views in nearly all spaces. Access to a private beach. Peaceful.

We had a wonderful time. The place was absolute beautiful. Suzanne was gracious, informative and helpful.The peace and serenity we experienced was especially appreciated by our 86 year old friend, who is fighting cancer.Our stay far exceeded any of our desired expectations! Although we were sad to leave, knowing that we will be returning next year helped to lessen our sadness.

Very nice house

Even though it was on the bay, it would have been nice to see more of the open waters. The day we stayed was great so we utilized the deck. It could use some upgrades but overall a nice stay.

The beach was great, and the house and beaches were very pet friendly. The deck has a great sunset view. The driveway was a bit tricky for a Suburban, but the drivers in the neighborhood were patient and respectful. I felt safe walking in the area. The house is overdue for a thorough deep clean of walls, floors, baseboards so that may be what some of the other reviews were negative about. Bathrooms, sinks, counters, tables were clean. It was a peaceful, relaxing location which was everything I needed.

Breathing views!

Wow! This oceanfront cottage is right on a beautiful private beach with amazing views. We spent most of our time sitting on the deck enjoying the sound of the ocean waves. Our dogs loved running on the adjacent beach. Communication with owner was excellent. We had a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Great Vacation Spot

Nothing can beat the location of this quaint cottage - right on the water with access to a small private beach. We were able to put our kayaks right in the water and explore, watch the wild life (we had a cute duck family that visited every day) and be lulled by the waves to sleep each night. The house is surprisingly roomy with many places to sit/eat comfortably and watch the water. The kitchen is pretty well equipped although there is no dishwasher. We had a great vacation!

Beautiful Views

Great location. Nice private beach. Quick response by host. Close to Kennebunkport and Portland. The Lobster Co. is close for fresh seafood including live lobster. Cooked many seafood dinners in the well equipped kitchen including a large lobster pot. Public beach was fantastic and within walking distance. If you’re into antiquing, you’re in luck. Would definitely recommend, we stayed in the big house (Sea Haven).

Sea Haven Was An Absolute Delight To Visit!

We had a lovely stay at Sea Haven over Memorial Day weekend. We had 3 adults and 2 children and we had plenty of room to spread out, make meals, enjoy the views and completely relax. The kitchen and use of the grill offered us plenty of options for dining in and there were many restaurants to access in either Biddeford or Kennebunkport. Fortunes Rocks public beach was beautiful and a short walk from the home. The girls enjoyed the private beach right in front of the house as well. The owner was delightful to work with before and during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back!

Beautiful Location!!

My family and I enjoyed our short stay at Fortunes Rock!! Loved the expansive views of the ocean from the dining room and bedroom windows. It was very peaceful watching and hearing the waves roll in. Suzanne (the owner) was very responsive and helpful offering a variety of suggestions on places to go visit. We loved visiting the scenic towns of Kennebunkport, Old Orchard Beach and Ogunquit which were close by. The house was older but charming and clean. We would definitely come back here and stay in the future.

Thank you so much for your review! Being right ON the water with the picturesque cove is so special! I do try to improve it every year: the unique hand-made kitchen counter, leather couch, and large tv are some of the new things. The cleaners and I love to take care of it. Please come again. It helps keep the place where I grew up in the family--my daughter hopes to live there one day!

Spring Getaway

My brother and I traveled to Biddeford for a 3 night getaway and were thrilled to have been able to stay at Suzanne’s Sea Haven property. Its location on the water in Fortunes Rocks cannot be beat! The house was clean, bright and well equipped with rooms upstairs and down having great ocean views. Suzanne was a terrific host, providing detailed check-in/out instructions and providing a tremendous amount of information about the home, the locale and the coastal southern Maine area. Although the weather during our stay was cloudy, chilly and rainy the house was comfortable and welcoming. I am grateful to Suzanne for allowing us to stay in this lovingly cared for property that has been in her family for generations! I hope to be able to return for a longer stay in the summer or fall!

Serene spot

Sea Haven is a beautiful taste of coastal Maine, a relaxing place away from crowds, yet close to many interesting attractions. The cottage has several rooms with panoramic views of the cove, so even in inclement weather you can enjoy the surroundings. A nice feature is it's proximity to walkable beaches as well as it's own semi-private beach. Furnishings are vintage, but comfortable, and the kitchen is well stocked with appliances and utensils for whatever cooking you want to do. There is an outdoor grill and the owner will provide you with lots of suggestions for where you can get the freshest seafood. We thought we were very familiar with the Biddeford area, but the owner enhanced our stay with new suggestions for us to explore. If you want a real Maine experience, you will be delighted with Sea Haven.

Yearly Vacation

Check in was easy. Kitchen was pretty well stocked except the was no dish pan for washing dishes or a dish strainer. We purchased our own. A laundry was listed but there was no laundry, and the dinning room which she said was now a bed room had a small table, old worn out couch and an antique cupboard with dishes, and a dirty rug. The electric out lets had no power and the celling light quit working. We were disappointed but had a nice vacation. I will not rent it again or refer this renal to anyone.

Lovely Location but...

The small deck has a stunning view of the ocean and rocks. It's the best part of this property. The second best is that its only steps away from a lovely private beach. The interior of the property is sorely in need of a serious update. Much of the furniture looks like it came from a thrift store back in the 80's. Luckily there is a clean leather sofa in the living room. The property needs a major cleaning...windows...and especially carpets. The owner was very responsive to our calls and texts. She couldn't be nicer.

Thank you for your compliments! Location is so important, and I'm glad you think this is lovely, as we do, too! I do try to improve it every year: the unique hand-made kitchen counter, leather couch, and large tv are some of the new things. The antique window glass is hard to clean, but we try. My property manager has been working on reglazing the many window panes this summer. We do plan to change the carpets. Please come again. It helps keep the place where I grew up in the family--my daughter hopes to live there one day!

Great views, old home

My family and I rented this house for a long weekend. The views were spectacular and the sounds of the ocean were amazing. The beach is right outside and feels like our own private beach. But the house is old. Windows are just barely on their tracks. The bathrooms do not have outlets for electric savers or blow dryers. Most of the light fixtures must be turned on manually. When we arrived, the hot water was not turned on, so you will have to manually turn on the hot water from the electrical board. Despite how old the house was, my family and I had a great time eating breakfast with a view, drinking beers on the deck, and enjoying the quiet semi-private beach.

Thank you for the review, Jeff. I am slowly updating things (leather couch, unique kitchen counter, etc.) and will work on more every year. I have spoken to the cleaners and property manager, and they should check to make sure the water heater is turned on (the previous guests apparently turned it off accidentally when they very kindly turned off the electric baseboard heaters). Please do come and enjoy the place again. --Suzanne
