Really relaxed place to stay near everything. Hosts very friendly. Above a busy surf shop which is great. At night you don’t have to worry about bothering anyone below. Cozy place. Sparingly supplied so bring extra towels or hand towels and soap. It’s pet friendly and functional. Our dog loved going to Gooch’s beach in Kennebunk. Super close to ogunquit. Low ceilings so watch out if you are tall! Our son is 6’6 and bumped his head a few times

This was our third stay here and we already booked our fourth for next year. It’s right on Route 1 which makes everything easily accessible, and easy biking distance to Moody and North beach. The beds are comfortable, everything is super clean, and the hosts are super friendly and very responsive - the perfect jumping off point.

Excellent location! Hosts were communicative, knowledgeable, and friendly. My kids (and dog) and I loved the convenience to town and the beach, and the surfing lessons (with Henry) were an extra bonus. The apartment was roomy and charming. A trip we will remember. Hopefully we'll be back again soon.

We had a great stay. We loved the space the apartment provided as it gave our teens their own space and nobody felt cramped. Bob and Vic were wonderful hosts and we enjoyed chatting with them when they were at the shop. Being able to walk to Moody Beach was amazing and we loved how that beach had no crowds. We will definitely stay here again because of the laid-back vibe the hosts created, the accessibility to the beach and restaurants, and the comfort of the apartment.

About the host

Hosted by Bob Brazen

Host profile image
Wheels N Waves has been in business since 1974 and is Maine's oldest surf shop. In 2013 Wheels N Waves was named Maine's Best Surf Shop by Downeast Magazine.
In 2011 after many years of renting, we were able to purchase this great new location, which has a 2 bedroom apartment on the 2nd floor. In 2013 we opened our 2nd location in downtown Ogunquit and walking distance to Ogunquit Beach. The Ogunquit location is smaller, but still offers rentals and sales of most things we offer in Wells.
