About the host
Hosted by Amy & Ned Cardinali
At Vacation Shack Rentals, we specialize in offering exceptional beachside getaways in Southern Maine. With over 30 years of experience in the restaurant industry, we sold our seaside restaurant in 2024 to pursue our passion for hospitality as full-time vacation rental hosts and travel agent. For the last 9 years, we have been managing four vacation rentals, dedicating ourselves to delivering outstanding guest experiences. Our properties, located just steps from beautiful beaches, are designed with comfort and convenience in mind, providing the perfect setting for your coastal retreat. Outside of work, we enjoy traveling to tropical destinations with our two children. We look forward to helping you create lasting memories during your stay in Southern Maine.
Why they chose this property
We wanted something that was close to the beach but peaceful and quiet. So we stumbled upon this...The Sunshine Shack! The name The Sunshine Shack came about because the home is so bright and airy. It's built on a quiet street with a few houses. It's so peaceful listening to the waves crashing on the shore. Our home is centrally located between Ogunquit and Wells in Moody, so you really have the best of both worlds right here!
What makes this property unique
Wells Beaches are made up of miles of sandy and salty goodness. They include Moody Beach, the Main Beach (trolley stop) Crescent Beach and Drakes Island Beach. These are all great places to fly kites, discover sea life in tide pools and jump over or run from waves. Laudholm Farm and the Rachel Carson Preserve are both in Wells and are excellent nature centers where one can Bird watch and walk along trails and see the beautiful transition from Maine woodlands to freshwater estuaries to saltwater marsh life. In Ogunquit we enjoy going to Perkins Cove (trolley stop). This is either the start or the finish of Marginal Way, a coastline walking path with perhaps the most picturesque and bold views of the Atlantic ocean that you will ever find. Ogunquit has many great restaurants, a nationally recognized beach, a good nightlife and a world renowned Play House. The best part is that it is the next town over and only a short drive or trolley ride from our cottage.
