Arline is a special property. The location on Moody Beach is simply beautiful and the house has so much charm and comfort. Communication with Kathy was seamless and helpful. The town of Wells is very charming and has a lot of exceptional restaurants and sites nearby. This was our first trip to Maine, and we fell in love with all it has to offer!

Wonderful family vacation!

My family and I had the best Maine vacation ever in this roomy, comfortable cottage with its amazing view of the ocean right living room! The spacious front porch was perfect for relaxing with morning coffee and a glass of wine after dinner. Plenty of parking and the owner was friendly and wonderful to deal with. We definitely plan to return next year!

Home Away from Home

The Arline is so homey - we had a wonderful week and our dog thoroughly enjoyed her first vacation by the sea! The home has everything you need - and more - a million dollar view! We came home extremely relaxed!

Family beach trip

We had an amazing 2 weeks at the Arline. The cottage was rustic but very cute, clean and equipped with everything you would need for your stay. Easily slept my family of 6 with 3 bedrooms and 2 fold out sleep sofas. The grassy lawn (beach side) was perfect during high tide and the few days when there was excessive seaweed. Even then, It was just an easy walk down The beach a few houses and there was plenty of sandy beach to enjoy.

Arline - Home Away From Home

Our family loved being on the beach at the Arline home. The home had everything you could ever need to live there except for clothes and beach towels. Moody is the best beach for walking and jogging and is a private beach to enjoy without the crowds and noise. The neighbors are very friendly and quiet. We rent on Moody every year and know we have found the best beach on Maine's coast.

Thank you for your kind words about our cottage, the "Arline". on Moody Beach. My brother and I have wonderful memories of our parents, our children and ourselves staying in the cottage and enjoying the beach and the ocean of Moody Beach. We are pleased that your family had a good stay and that we can provide a family friendly cottage that all ages can enjoy. Hope you can return again .

Very Satisfied with the Arline

We were very pleased with the Arline. It had everything we needed. It is great for crabbing! The rocks down the to the beach require careful manipulation but I have had knee problems & managed quite well. Plus, the Public Way (#3) is very close if needed! There is no beach at high tide. But, we were aware of that in advance. Had a wonderful stay!

An Amazing Vacation!

Just returned from a week at the Arline and we enjoyed our vacation in Maine! The house has every item that you might need for comfort and a view that is breathtaking. The sunset and sunrise as well as the oceanview from the lawn provide such serenity. The beach is eight or ten steps away from the lawn. The outdoor shower is available to cut down on sand coming into the house and the bedrooms have enough windows for great ocean breezes at night. The livingroom and kitchen are quite spacious and twice we dined outside with candles so we could view the ocean during dinner. It was a beautiful, serene, relaxing week!

As good as it gets.

Usually York Beach vacationers but wanted to try something different. This was a pleasant surprise from start to finish. The owner(s) were friendly and informal and gave you a means to contact them but did not interfere with your stay. The house is layed out perfectly and has plenty of personality - its an oldie but a goodie. Everything that was suppose to be there was and all in good working condition. The house and property were clean and well taken care of. Its a perect location as far as the beach goes and the view doesn't get any better. The neighbors were great and full of useful information. Not only would I recommend this rental but I really hope to return again next year. My entire family loved this place and have raved about it to anyone that might be interested in Moody Beach. Can't miss on this one and the price was right as well. I've fallen in love with maine all over again!
