CAPE ELIZABETH, ME - March 26, 2010 - The eco-luxury Inn by the Sea will reduce their rates on their seaside two bedroom suites by 50%, Sunday through Thursday, this spring in support of a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity, announced General Manager Sara Masterson. Inn by the Sea will be supporting “Hospitality for Humanity 2010 ”, a program sponsored by the Maine Innkeepers Association (MEIA) which will raise money in May for Habitat projects in both Maine and Haiti.

The Four Diamond Inn by the Sea, located on sandy Crescent Beach, just ten minutes from Portland, hopes to attract guests to enjoy their two bedroom seaside cottages at half the regular rate, Sunday through Thursday, May 2nd through May 27th in exchange for a $35 donation check written out to Habitat for Humanity.

“Guests enjoy this simple way to give while getting away to the beach!” said Masterson. “We hope travelers will take advantage of the deeply discounted rates to experience the inn, our new ocean view restaurant, full service SPA, and our spacious two bedroom cottages.”

'Hospitality for Habitat' was initiated in 2004 and has raised over $30,000 to build homes for low income families in Maine since the program began. In 2009 Inn by the Sea raised $2,200 for Habitat for Humanity with the help of their guests through the program. This year, after the devastating earth quake in Haiti, a portion of the funds will also be directed to Habitat projects in Haiti.

To take advantage of this opportunity to contribute to a great cause while enjoying a beach vacation in luxurious surroundings at Inn by the Sea call reservations at 207-799-3134 and ask for the Hospitality for Habitat program. Reservations should be made in advance, Sunday through Thursday in May 2nd through May 27th 2010. A tax deductible donation check made out to Habitat for Humanity should be given to Inn by the Sea on check in. (One donation check for the length of stay.) Every dollar raised will be donated to help build habitat homes.
