Welcome Home
Maritime Haven Properties is a family-owned and operated real estate business with properties in Jacksonville, Florida, and Prince Edward Island. We provide safe, clean, and well-maintained homes where people feel comfortable and take pride in where they live.
Our Commitment
We believe good housing starts with good management. That means: responsive communication; respectful, professional service; repairs done properly—not temporary fixes. Our goal is simple: to provide a reliable and positive experience for every resident.
What We Do
We specialize in long-term rental housing, and renovating and selling homes. We identify undervalued or distressed properties and transform them into quality homes. Some are sold, while others become part of our growing rental portfolio. Through this work, we help improve housing options and contribute to the communities we invest in.
Working With Us
We see real estate as more than just transactions—it’s about long-term relationships. We work closely with: Investors, Lenders, Realtors, Contractors, and other Industry Professionals. Our focus is on building strong local partnerships and creating lasting value through thoughtful redevelopment.
Get in Touch
Whether you’re looking for a place to live, interested in purchasing a home, have a home to sell, or want to connect professionally, we’d be glad to hear from you.
