Host was very helpful with everything. Can't beat the short 40 foot walk out the door to the beach. Place was very clean and was well stocked with everything you need in the kitchen for cooking and all cups, plates and silverware as well. This was our 3rd year in a row and have already booked for next year!

Thanks for your review! The internet on the beach can be very frustrating. We replaced all of the equipment this season to alleviate some of the disruptions and signal loss. We will continue to improve the system but the carrier is the problem. Have a great winter and we would look forward to seeing you next year!

Great wells rental!

We had a blast staying at this rental. The location and proximity to the beach was so convenient. It was clean and the mattresses were comfortable (that seemed difficult to find in our past rental experiences). Mark was very help and responsive to our questions during our stay. We hope to be back next year!

Best Basement Apartment You Will Ever Stay In

I wrote a review in Aug 2018 on this property and everything I wrote back then still applies. This is the best basement apartment ON the beach you will ever stay in. It is incredibly well designed and the owners are first class people.

Perfect location!

This was our second year that we rented this charming apartment.. We were delighted to find it had been beautifully updated. It is also sunny and bright which is not easy being a basement apartment. Just outside is a patio with a grill, table and chairs.. Best of all is being right on the beach! The whole family had a great time and we hope to come back again nexxt year!

This was our fourth year we have rented this apartment. This property is in great condition and the location doesn't get any better since it is steps away from the beach. The owner is a great guy and if you have questions or issues, he responds quickly and takes care of any issues that may arise. We look forward to returning again next year!

We love it here!

This was the second year we’ve been able to stay here. We absolutely love it. We appreciate the convenience of getting to and from the beach so easily. The apartment is great, we especially love the AC and new washer/dryer. The beds are super comfortable (which is surprisingly hard to come by at a beach rental). Wells beach is beautiful and never felt crowded. Parking was simple, and directly across the street from the rental. Communication with the host was great, we appreciated their speedy responses with our questions. We are looking forward to returning next year!

Sea quest Basement

It was good except for the parking. Open spots in the driveway but not able to use is a little baffling. The washer dryer combo was helpful. The tv should have written instructions how to use but we were told to ‘look it up on the internet’. Proximity to the beach is excellent. The price for a week is very expensive.

What a great overall vacation in wells beach maine

We were met when we arrived by both Mark and Patty and quickly we felt at home. The house was well equipped with everything we needed to enjoy your family vacation. Location was perfect, 15 steps to the beach. Parking was accross the street, but very convenient and easy to get the vehicle when needed. The rooms were very good size, and plenty of storage throughout. Mark had purchased fuel for gas grill which made cooking outside a breeze. They also had went and purchased new beach chairs for us to us during our stay. Overall we were very pleased with all accommodations and would reccommend this location to others and would definately rent this location again next year. Thanks to both Mark and Patty's for their hospitality . It clearly made our summer vacation special.

Positives and Negatives

Positives: Great location. Kitchen spacious and fully equipped Newly renovated. Vacuum cleaner supplied. Negatives: WiFi weak Parking rules stated that guest has one spot reserved in nearby motel. Yet, the driveway has room for 3 cars and was used by no one. Based on stated rules, my son had to rent an offsite space for $150. Only one means of egress. Storm door was ill fitting and slammed loudly when let go. When put on the bread selection the toaster only toasted one side of the bread. No direction as to what outside equipment is allowed to be used. (chairs, umbrellas, hot tub, kayaks) Light bulb in shower not working.
