About Shore Haven

On the Southern shore of Cape Cod, where history is tied to the timeless draw of the sea, the village of Falmouth reflects the Cape’s enduring character: its salt-soaked shoreline, its cranberry bogs and stone-wall-studded fields, its maritime traditions, and its rise as one of the nation’s most beloved destinations for luxuriating in the balmy winds of sun-soaked summers.

Built in the 1800s on the site of a former glass factory, Shore Haven Inn embodies laid-back luxury—coastal New England style. Inspired by the rhythms of the sea, the leisurely flow of summer days, and the traditions that shaped Cape Cod’s historic villages, Shore Haven’s design weaves nature with craft through tones of sand and sea, gently undulating forms, rope and weathered wood, shimmering accents, and playful details.

The airy porch, lush lawn, shimmering pool, and laidback picnic areas may tempt you to just settle in and savor, but Shore Haven’s location makes it easy to enjoy all of Falmouth’s treasures—scenic walks, dining and shopping, centuries of history, and of course, world famous beaches. We’re steps from the harbor, a short stroll from Main Street’s shops and restaurants, and convenient to landmarks like Woods Hole and the Nobska Lighthouse.

Whether in an intimate ocean view room or an adjoining poolside suites, couples, families, and friends will find an experience at Shore Haven that is both timeless and striking, refined and intimate, soothing and invigorating—a perfect Cape Cod retreat

History

The history of this house was originally built in 1858 by local James Fish on the site of the former Falmouth Glass Factory. The factory had been opened in 1851 in an attempt to bring industry to the town and it employed about 40 people. In 1883, Mrs. C. F. (Ellen) Morse purchased the house from Mr. Fish. Her husband, Charles, was the president of the Kansas City Stockyards. Mr. Morse was familiar with Falmouth from his days growing up in the Boston suburb of Jamaica Plain. A large addition to the house was completed in 1896. In 1899, they bought the old Gifford house that lay between this house and the water and moved it back and to the west of the Morse House. This house was used as a laundry and housing unit. The Morse family came to Falmouth each summer by private train, bringing horses, carriages, pets, cars, and servants with them. She had the first electric car in town, and he owned a series of yachts. They became full-time residents after Mr. Morse retired. He died in 1926. Mrs. Morse died in 1940.

The house was purchased by the Shaw family in 1946 and converted into an Inn and they named it the Shore Haven Inn. In the early 60s, with the addition of several small cottages, it was known as the Shore Haven Inn and Motor Lodge. The land was divided in 1987, and the cottages were sold as private residences. The Shore Haven continued to operate as a seaside inn until it was purchased in July of 2002 and renamed the Beach Breeze Inn in early 2003.
