About this property

Romantic Getaway for 2; Steps from the Ocean in the Moody Beach area

Steps from the ocean, listening to the surf at night. Getaway includes 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, a full kitchen, open concept living room and kitchen table. An outdoor deck provides a small window to the ocean and an outdoor living space. Parking is available for two cars. The area is wonderful to enjoy. While you venture out, take a trip to Condon's for brunch and Mimosas, or enjoy a nice lunch at Billy's Chowder House overlooking the beautiful tidal river. Have a relaxing dinner at Verano's restaurant or skip down to Ogunquit and go all out. The Marginal Way is a beautiful spot to take someone special for a quiet walk overlooking the rocky Maine coast, and take a seat and reflect on life and how much simpler it could be for at least a few days. I hope you love the place as much as I love it, as this will be my forever home.

The Beauty Of Maine

We had the upstairs of the house all to ourselves and it was more then perfect! Enjoyed our stay so much,that we will be returning next year. The owner of the house,Jed, was very nice and personable as well. The area is just breathtaking, and there are many places to go walking and exploring! Loved opening up the windows and just hearing the sound of the ocean and feeling the ocean breeze. The sunrise and sunset are just a fine example of how blessed we really are. And the food in Maine is just exceptional!The Greenery Cafe, Clay Hill Farm, Merriland Farm Cafe ,Maine Diner,Lobster Pound. Definitely come here...it's worth it!

Perfect place to relax

I rented this quaint apartment for my parents so they can come and spend the week with us in Moody Beach. it was perfect: clean, open concept floor plan, and a great location. The only downfall was the lack of A/C in the whole apt - the listing says there is A/C but it was only in the bedroom and despite all efforts to air the place down, it was SO HOT a few days which was not great for my mother with a heart condition. This said, we loved the apt and would recommend it to anyone who doesn't need a very cool place to be!

Nice place!

Overall, excellent except we couldn't adjust the shower to maintain a constant temperature. At first, it was cold, then hot, then it stayed cold, so it was frustrating. Also, the mattress was more than just firm. It bordered on being hard. However, the host answered questions in a timely manner and even let us now we could arrive earlier than scheduled since it was ready.

Perfectly Comfy

The place was light, bright and clean with all the conveniences of home. Our host was very responsive and it was obvious that he actively manages the property. There is something about the second level that makes it seem you are away from it all. The ocean is visible from one window at a distance and the sound of it was easily heard. In warmer weather I imagine the large east facing deck would be very pleasant. Our temps were 30-40s. We walked the gorgeous beach (you’ll have to start at the public opening, which is not too far from the beach house.) We also enjoyed the beauty of the tidal river and marsh side.. The jetty walk was worth the short drive (northernmost point of island). There are quite a few antique places in Wells with pretty good prices. It is conveniently located near many restaurants right in Wells but also Ogunquit. It was a great way to experience “winter” Maine.

Just A Short Walk To Wonderful Moody Beach

My wife and I just spent two weeks in Maine, celebrating our daughter's wedding. We spent the last 5 nights at Gerald/Jed's home. A very nice way to end our vacation! Our apartment was the entire second floor of Jed's house: spacious, well provisiouned, and immaculate with a "like new" feel. The washer/dryer was a plus (especially when staying at the beach). We happened to be there during a roaring heat wave but we were still able to remain reasonably comfortable despite the lack of A/C There were a couple of very minor "wrinkles" during our stay ... a bit of confusion re: check-in the procedure and a noisy smoke alarm ... but Jed was instantly available and quickly "on the case" to iron our the "wrinkles". Communications with Jed were VERY prompt and successful. (Personally I rank hosts who solve minor problems instantly even higher than hosts who "never" have minor wrinkles.) We expect to be back for another stay!

Communication with the host was quick and easy. On arrival the place was clean, immaculate and well maintained. A short walk to the beach, and other close by beaches. Offering a quiet neighborhood, was great to enjoy early morning or late day walks. The deck was lovely to sit and have your favorite beverage with the sound of the ocean. Not to mention to catch the early sun rising. Peaceful place to the perfect beach getaway for two!

Fantastic location - calm and quiet, and an even shorter walk to the beach than we were expecting. The rental was spotless when we arrived and self check-in was easy. It was the perfect spot for a quick couple’s getaway to the Wells/Ogunquit area.

Getaway

We enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. It was not on the beach as we had assumed, which was a disappointment. But it was just a short walk away. It was very quiet and peaceful.

Disappointing

We were really disappointed to find a very major construction project going on right next door… there was a crew working daily with cranes and bobcats, and generators were going 24/7 to support sump pumps. Needless to say, we didn’t use the deck (which overlooks the whole mess) nor did we want windows or shades open.
