Attractively decorated house, nicely appointed kitchen, beautiful views across the low dunes to the beach and ocean, spacious rooms and great outdoor living space. All four of us thought the house was very nice. We would definitely want to stay there again.

Gem of a Place!

This house was exactly what we were looking for! Clean, spacious and private. The dunes add a nice buffer from the busy beach, yet the beach is easily accessible and always right there! We will definitely be back!

Perfect beach condo

This condo is perfect for those looking for a beach getaway. It was one of the best stocked rentals I’ve ever been to & nothing could beat the location - short walk over the dunes to the beach. The pictures & description are accurate. Would definitely rent again!

Put you feet up and breathe

Simply lovely. The unit is spacious and bright. It is well stocked and although we’ve always been on a direct oceanfront property the view is lovely. We spent our mornings drinking coffee and basking in the sun. If you are looking for a place where you can exhale? This is it. Jane, the owner is lovely.Enjoy.

Wonderful week at the beach

Jane’s home was beautiful and exactly like the pictures. Proximity to the beach was wonderful. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our week in Maine! We took trips nearly every day to surrounding towns up and down the coast and also spent plenty of time at the beach. We even talked about booking the house again for the same week next year before we’d even left! Highly recommend this property.

Relaxing Spot

I can’t say enough about the owner of this property. Her response to any questions was above and beyond. The rental was well equipped and nicely decorated. The location was so relaxing due to the gorgeous dunes between the ocean and the spacious deck where we would enjoy our morning coffee with the sunrise and supper lobsters at sunset.

lovely spot in wells

my wife and i stayed in janes house on the beach in wells for a week in early june. even with a few rainy days, we enjoyed our time thoroughly. the location is quiet, the house has unrivaled access to the beach. there is a large deck overlooking the scrub-covered dunes separating the house and the beach. water is visible from both sides of the property. we spent time on the beach and biking up and back from the house and ogunquit.

Sunrises on the deck.

This is our second time staying at this convenient Wells Beach location. And it did not disappoint. The first time there were no renters in the upstairs unit whereas this time it was rented out which had me concerned with noise. But other than muffled foot steps and some friendly interactions over the deck it really did not matter. Once again Jane, the owner, continues to be prompt with her responses to any questions.

Lovely home that takes full advantage of its spectacular setting

We had a swell time! My husband and I were so lucky to find this beautiful spot in our last-minute, "we have to get away!" search for a beach rental. It really checked all our boxes, and then some: situated on the ocean, just steps from the water along a dune path; a clean, comfy, wonderfully well-equipped house that allowed us to enjoy the views from nearly every room; an expansive deck (with Adirondack chairs, dining table, gas grill) to enjoy cocktails, meals, morning coffee -- all while gazing at that ocean view. And so nice, too, that the grocery store, lobster pound, and local restaurant faves were just a five minute drive away. Easy peasy. Jane was friendly, helpful, and communicative from the moment I submitted my booking request right through to our last day. She and her husband are conscientious hosts who take care of, and clearly value, their home -- and do whatever they can to make it a good experience for their VRBO guests. Thank you, Jane and Jim! We had friends from Boston who were able to join us for a couple of nights, and we only wished we had planned our trip earlier so our grown son and other family members could have enjoyed this special place with us as well. Next year!

The perfect sunrise

Each room facing east, the primary bedroom, living room / kitchen and another bedroom with a queen bed all take advantage of the sunrise with sliding doors so that it is easily seen from any vantage in the house. The house is perfectly set facing east unlike the majority of properties on Wells beach. The dunes and the 2 fir trees make the property feel very private despite close neighbors. The deck is even larger than imagined and includes a stone paved area as well. The shed had all the beach gear we needed and games, which was fantastic. The host was very considerate and helpful with local restaurant recommendations and points of interest. We loved this location as well as going right at the end of peak season. It was fantastic to see the beach at different tides and an easy walk to the town center by beach or street.

Vacation 8/21

This beach rental as all of the comfotrs of home. Linens and towels included, comfortable beds. Kitchens essentials to cook or grill. Close to stores and restaurants. Jane was extremely responsive and helpful and was committed to us enjoying out stay. Wonderful views of the dunes and the ocean with a light sea breeze. Plenty of beach accessories in the shed. Our favorite spot was the porch area - starting with sunrise with coffee and dinner with cocktails. The sand path to the beach was a bit rough when is was hot and humid. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return again. A recycling continer would have been helpful.

Comfy, Clean & Great Location

Janes property exceeded my expectations! So spacious and comfortable. It takes less than 2 minutes to walk through the dunes to access the beach- so easy! Plus the dunes gave you extra privacy vs. bring directly on the sand. We loved our stay here!

Family week in Wells

We were a group of 10 adults and 3 children, and we rented the upstairs and downstairs units. It was nice to have space to separate the kids for naps etc. The walk to the beach is short, and Jane had all the supplies you could need for the beach. We had a small issue with hot water, but Jane had someone there to fix it within a few hours. My only complaint is that the upstairs unit had no cabinet space in the kitchen to store food etc and there was no microwave. Overall, we had a great week at the beach!

Beautiful beach getaway

This house was even better in person than the pictures. The layout is functional and worked well for our family with small children and even when we had other family members over to visit. You can't beat the location being right on the beach and having the added privacy of the dunes. The home was well stocked and had everything we needed for preparing meals and having a comfortable stay. Jane and Jim were absolutely wonderful hosts and we look forward to staying again next year!
