Another great stay!

This was our third year staying at this property and we will return again next year. The location is perfect with amazing views of the marsh all around, great for nights by the fire pit. The quick walk to the beach is perfect for our two young kids when we need to come back for lunch and naps. Another great week!

Great Stay

Despite less than good weather, this house doesn’t disappoint. We love the location and the size was perfect for our extended family of nine. The picnic table umbrella was broken but thankfully because of the weather it wasn’t needed much. I’d like to see a full length mirror added somewhere in the house but ultimately, this rental is practically perfect!

Amazing 2 weeks

This property was perfect for our 50th wedding anniversary celebration with our 2 adult sons and their families. The home was spacious, clean and had plenty of towels for the beach and for showering. There was enough cooking pots and pans and dishes for all 9 of us. Truly an amazing home away from home. Will definitely book again!

Great stay for a family vacation

This was the perfect house for a week at the beach. The location was ideal for us as we could easily go back and forth to the beach with our small child. The marsh surrounding the back provided picturesque sunsets and privacy that you just don't get at many other places. The house itself was very clean and nice, providing all of the amenities we needed. We're looking forward to our rebooking next year!

Great location by the sea

A backyard overlooking a parcel of the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge provided beautiful sunsets every evening. We had the pleasure of seeing numerous birds including a bald eagle every day. A short walk to the beach made it easy to go back and forth throughout the day. The house is a beautiful new home with great bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen was small for 6 adults and 4 children but that didn’t dampen our experience.

Wonderful!!

We loved our stay! The house is in an amazing spot with a quick walk across the street to beautiful Wells Beach and a private backyard right on the marsh. We were able to have both sun rises and sun sets right there. We loved the fire pit! The house was very clean and had plenty of space and amenities. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms all new and updated. The kitchen was very well stocked with anything we needed. Loved all of the windows! We've already booked our return for next year!

Conveniently Located Wells House

The location of this property is great, it's on a private road off the main part of Atlantic Ave. This is great when you have little children, because you can collect everything you need and walk over to the beach and enjoy your day. Great options to clean up before going inside the house, and plenty of options to help you enjoy your day at the beach too. Plenty of sleeping arrangements for a long stay.

Beautiful Sunsets close to beach!

A beautiful house for our family vacation. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach; it was really easy to get to and we were able to wheel a wagon on the private path. Hands down, the best part was the sunset over the marsh. The house is set back from the beach, but the back faces west and overlooks the quiet marsh. We loved the open feel of the backyard and didn't feel like we were packed in with all the other beach houses. The sunsets were breath taking, and we even got to see the resident bald eagle twice! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Great family beach house

Second year at this property, and we will be back next year. Amazing location, very quick walk to the beach which is very important to us with little kids. Clean house with views from every room. Also enjoyed the fire pit every night. With the three floor set up it is great to have multiple family members stay. For future renters, there is no AC in individual bedrooms on the third floor, just in the hallway so you may need to sleep with doors open if windows and shades open is not an option (we have small children). We will be back in 2024.

Your Maine getaway

Two-month stay, Jan-Mar, mostly just me. Easily can see this being a wonderful fantastic Maine summer get away for most. Ample bedrooms (4), scenic views from all of them, picnic bench outside for summer grilling, easy short walk to the beach. Sunny dining area for watching sunsets (or enjoying the day view while you work, like me). Quite clean and supplied. Friendly host with easy conversation when needed. Excellent stay, even in the dead of Maine winter with a bum foot. Enjoy!

Why they chose this property

There are 2 bald eagles in the marsh. The views and the sunset are amazing.

What makes this property unique

This house has the advantage of being super close to the beach and providing beautiful evening sunsets with 180 degrees of unobstructed marsh views. The house is at the end of street on a quiet family friendly neighborhood.
