Beach House Steps From Marsh & Wells Beach. Sunsets, bird watch, surf, swim!
Stay in a beautiful, 3-bedroom cottage where you will enjoy gorgeous sunsets from your deck, overlooking the Rachel Carson Wildlife Preserve. You will also see and hear the waves from the ocean and wildlife from the marsh. The home is just steps away from the public access to beautiful Wells Beach.
Picture your family enjoying this spacious home with high ceilings, large windows, an open balcony and a beautiful view of the marsh. Room for the whole family with a full kitchen, dining and two living areas as well as 2 full bathrooms. Wind-down comfortably with 2 queen-sized bedrooms, 1 full-sized bedroom and a sleeper sofa. To make it easier for those traveling with infants, we have a Pack & Play stored behind a chair in Bedroom 1 and a high chair available so you don't need to pack those bulky items. On-site laundry (though the washer is on the small side), outdoor shower, parking for 3 vehicles, multiple enchanting outdoor living areas, and beach toys are all extra amenities you will enjoy with the cottage rental.
Conveniently located just steps to sandy Wells Beach, our cottage will sweep you into the beauty and excitement of the Maine Beaches! Dine at one of our neighborhood’s many renowned restaurants and lobster pounds, enjoy activities for both children and adults, and don’t miss live music and theater events taking place all summer long in the Wells - Ogunquit area.

First floor holds two bedrooms, full bath, laundry, second living space, and two additional outdoor seating areas.
As an added bonus, all linens and towels are provided for your stay.
Outside, escape reality with your choice of 4 separate sitting areas - 2 on the top deck, and two patios on the ground level. One patio is fenced in for extra security and privacy. The property also has deeded access to the marsh, so bring your own canoes, kayaks and paddle boards to explore the Rachel Carson Wildlife Preserve.

About the host
Hosted by Kris Libby
My daughter Addison and I started visiting the Wells area when she was just 1 year old and we have returned each summer. In 2017, we were thrilled at the opportunity to purchase our own place where we can unwind, forget the stress of the world, and get back to what matters most - quality time with family. We invite you to our cottage and hope your family enjoys it as much as we do! -Kris
What makes this property unique
I fell in love with this home for the proximity to both the marsh and the ocean, while being set back from the main road. The outdoor living spaces are so inviting. Inside, the comfort, cleanliness, and serene views captivated me. I could feel the love, laughter and enjoyment from families coming together here in the past and look forward to sharing this home for other families to enjoy, too.
