The Wells Commuter Rail Station (to Boston or Portland, ME) and the I-95 exit Rt 109, is about 2 miles.

PLEASE BRING (or arrange to rent) your linens and bedding, including blanket, mattress pad (recommended), sheets, pillow cases, bath towels, bath shower mat, hand towels, wash cloths, kitchen towels. If you prefer to rent these linens instead of bringing your own, I recommend Cottage Linens. Go to www.cottagelinens.com and select what you need and they will deliver on the day you checkin and then pick up the used linens on the day you check out. I am not affiliated with this company in any way, but they provide a nice service for many guests in the area. Also bring your toiletries, bath soap, toilet paper, paper towels, spices for cooking, napkins, beach towels, beach chairs, cooler, beach toys, etc.
PARKING: The property has Parking for 2 Cars, tandem (one behind the other). If you need additional parking, you can arrange it in advance with the owner of a private parking lot only 2 houses away.

The town parking lots at the beach end of mile road (next to the playground, and at the beachfront) have pay stations for the day. They don’t allow overnight parking.
BEACH INFORMATION Our Beach has a sea wall and the Public Accesses have stairs to go down onto the beach. Along this section of Wells Beach, the water comes all the way up to the sea wall at high tide so you will lose the beach for about 1 to 1.5 hours on each side of high tide, depending on how high the tide is that day. Conversely, during low tide, there is a nice large flat, uncrowded beach of packed sand to play games and take long walks. The Jetty is a little over a mile and a wonderful walk. The low tide also leaves many tidal pools that are great fun for the kids to explore sea creatures or play in the water that is warmed by the sun. We (the hosts) live in this neighborhood and never mind planning our beach time around the tides, however, if you want to go to the beach at high tide, you can easily walk 7 minutes across Mile Road to Atlantic Ave Public Access #1 where there is beach during all tides. If you are already on our beach, you could choose to walk along the beach rather than going up to the street for an even easier 5 minute walk.

Great location, beautiful, spacious, and comfortable house. Great communication with very hospitable host. Perfect winter getaway for Christmas Prelude and Christmas by the Sea!
The property was exactly as advertised- super clean - steps from the beach - the neighborhood was quiet and felt safe and family friendly throughout our entire stay - the roof top deck was a favorite spot for all of us - even though it was a bit cool in October the view and the fresh air were incredible! - we loved this house and would highly recommend it and hope to return if we come back to Wells in the future!
Great place to stay. New decor throughout whole house. Beds are very comfortable. Nice to be near the beach. View from upper deck is great. Hope to rent again.
This property was perfect for our family of four! The location made it easy to enjoy the beach as well as the day trips we planned. We loved being able to walk to local shops and food options. The rental itself was very clean and the deck gave us beautiful views. Thank you!
Very nice and comfortable overall. Quiet enough to enjoy hearing the waves breaking from the house. Views of the ocean and the marsh from the roof deck.Great sunsets!
Was able to see both the ocean and the marsh from the balcony. The beach was just a block walk from the house. The house was immaculate. The household supplies were of good quality. The host was great!
We had the best family vacation! Calla was an excellent host, very informative and helpful. Communication was great. House was just as listed online, clean, and had everything we needed! The roof deck was our favorite feature. We would definitely rent again!
This was a perfect spot and clean, cozy, comfortable space. It had everything we needed. Host was very easy to communicate with, and helpful. Host went out of their way to insure all needs were met.
We had a great Family getaway; the house is beautiful and the location was simply Amazing!!! Easy walk to the beach, we loved it so much we can't wait to come back!
Location was amazing ! The house is beautiful as well. Hosts were lovely. Only thing was renting linens - found this just a small hassle wish it was just rolled in to the cost of the Vrbo hosts and they took care of it. Otherwise it was perfect for our vacation.
The rental was very clean, Calla was attentive to any questions we had. Location was nice, centrally located to shops, the arcade, the beach, Forbes & a quick walk to Billy’s. We enjoyed our stay
The cottage was clean and spacious. We really enjoyed the roof top deck and how close it was to the beach. I will be looking into staying there again next year.
Had a great stay! Calla was a wonderful host and very attentive to our minimal requests. We would highly recommend this house, which was nice and close to the beach!
This Maine house rental was perfect! The owner was fantastic, providing helpful recommendations and ensuring a cozy and clean stay. The location and views were breathtaking. Highly recommended!

About the host
Hosted by Calla Baxter
We have enjoyed this Wells Beach neighborhood since 1996 when we started vacationing here with our family and friends. In 2002 we bought a summer cottage in this neighborhood, and in 2018 we moved from Massachusetts into our summer cottage (after a few updates for year round living) and became Maine residents. We love living here and think guests who stay in our rental next door will also love the area.
Why they chose this property
Walking to the beach is so convenient. It's an easy walk back and forth from the beach to the house for snacks, lunch, children's naps, sun breaks, to use your own bathroom, etc. Each person in your house can go to the beach when they want; you don't have to consolidate everyone into one car trip to the beach and hassle with parking availability and cost. The neighborhood is quiet and family friendly with nice residents and rental guests. It is not a "party neighborhood", but it is festive during the day and early evening when everyone is out at the beach and in their yards. There are many dead-end streets, including ours, which is especially nice.
What makes this property unique
This property is unique because you can walk to the beach and you can view the ocean and the marsh from the deck and living areas. This house was new construction in 2021. With a 1st floor Queen Bedroom and 1st floor Bathroom this house is great for multi-generational families. The neighborhood is welcoming. There is easy access to a grocery store and other conveniences without using Route 1.
