Ideal Beach House
This house was lovely! Obviously a little far from the beaches in town, but so peaceful and relaxing. The front porch was the best part - I enjoyed my coffee every morning watching the sunrise from the chase lounge in the corner. The street is a little busy, especially around that corner so we were constantly keeping an eye on the kids. House was well stocked with everything we needed. Only disappointment was there were no beach chairs, but we did bring a few of our own. Our family members that rented homes closer to the beach were jealous of all the space we had and the location with the water views. Would definitely stay there again!

4 bedroom house with great ocean view
We love the front porch with a view the most. When we were all together. This is where we spent most of our time. Good size kitchen with plenty of amenities. 5 separate bedrooms and two bathrooms is a plus. We had party of 8 staying there plenty of room.

Beautiful location
Views were awesome. House is older but kept well. Only complaints were the mattresses and lack of trash barrels. The one bin was full when we got there so we had to leave the garbage in green bags The mattresses are old and not easy to sleep on. Otherwise we had an awesome time. Great for a family. We would definitely stay there again but for a longer time.

Celebrating 60 in Wells Beach
This home finished in1886 is very true to its era with a framed document stating such. There is also an album of generations of the original family sharing their time and selling to a new family in the 80’s. Windows redone, some newer appliances and the original wide plank hardwood floor intact. Truly a joy to stay and watch the sunrise diagonally across the street at 6:40am every day. My family enjoyed the wraparound front porches and relaxed there often. Thank you,

A wreck in progress
We arrived with a 10 digit keypad entry code for what turned out to be a 4-wheeled lock box. Vacasa (who is like another $$ middle man between VRBO and guest) managed to figure out the lockbox code after 10 minutes. Outside trash was overflowing, carpets stained, several dishes chipped or cracked, afraid to sit on some of the chairs for fear they might collapse. And although it says parking for 3, it’s really only for 2 stacked. The “3rd” spot behind the house is not wide enough for a car to avoid driving over neighbor’s irrigation. We were told there was a second lockbox with another key, but we never saw it, and the back porch was so musty it was unusable. Needs a major rehab for the money.

Excellent Location!
The house is older but is situated right across the street from the water. Seals played and sun bathed every morning 50 steps away. We enjoyed drinks both mornings and evenings on the front porch. There are many great towns and cities just a short car ride away. The house is situated on a blind curve and small front yard. This may be something to consider for families with very young children.

Sweet ocean views!
Very nice views right near the ocean! Air conditioning (maybe a unit for downstairs and options for upstairs would be nice). We were there when it was very hot so it was a little too steamy for our crew. Need screens for kitchen - really a must.

A cottage by the sea
We loved to sit on the porch and have our morning coffee watching the spectacular view and then wander down to the beach. A wonderful, roomy house 150’ from the ocean. We will definitely be thinking about coming again!

Weekend at the Ocean
We were in town for my parents’ 60th anniversary party. Since our family has now outgrown their house, we had to rent something. It was absolutely perfect. I grew up in this town and have always loved the ocean but we never had the luxury of living on it. Hearing the waves at night and sipping morning coffee with a picturesque view from the enclosed porch was beyond amazing. Everything was as stated in the listing. Checking in and out was a breeze. And the place was really clean and comfortable. Hope to return one day soon!

Relaxation by the Sea
The perfect house for a relaxing getaway by the ocean! Fantastic location right across the street from the ocean with a short walk down to the beach. Bedrooms were very comfortable and clean as were all the living spaces. Best was watching the sunrise from the enclosed porch, perfect place for a morning coffee!

Amazing Location!
The house is the perfect beach cottage. We loved how close we were to the beach and being able to see the water from the front porch. The only thing I would have liked to see would be an outdoor shower and an open air porch, but neither of these would make me dislike the house. Our kids were even asking if we could come back next year!

Classic Maine cottage...
Wells, Maine is the quintessential small New England town. This quaint cottage was the perfect get-away for our family. Just across the street the waves crash on rocks and we occasionally saw seals swim off the shore. The space is smaller but still sleeps plenty. We weren't in Maine to sit around inside. Short walk to the beaches in either direction and walking distance to the lobster pound. Had a great time - will definitely be back.

Quirky with a view!
Old cottage with charm right in the Atlantic. Loved hearing the waves as I drifted to sleep. According to the sign posted in the home, the cottage was built around 1888! Obviously it’s experienced some love, and wear and tear over the years. Cozy and welcoming.

Great Three Days Away
Cottage was great ~ better than advertised. Very Very Clean! Enjoyed bringing in Lobster and having dinner and breakfast overlooking the water. Please be very respectful of parking to side of house and in front only ~ nice neighbor says folks park behind the house all the time and that is his property and trying to maintain a nice lawn. Super nice guy ~

Beautiful, funky beach cottage close to it all...
We live a town over & along with our 1.5 year old daughter really wanted a quick getaway that was relaxed & convenient. Due to various factors earlier in the season our initial trip had been canceled. This was a bit of a last minute find, but worked perfectly for what we were looking for... To feel “away”. It was great! Clean, and wonderful neighbors too. There were some Essential items missing that I won’t go into here, but will let the management know of.. easy fixes just should be aware. Only a few issue To note that my wife & I felt was crucial to mention that if you are traveling with young children particularly under 3 or 4 this house is old, a bit out-dated chic (perhaps?) but definitely not baby safe Or young child friendly. Open sockets, high wooden stairs, knick knacks etc. As well as very close to a busy road with no clear fencing. We made all as safe as we could manage by moving chairs, closing doors and hiding breakables. Not a deterrent but rather an important factor. We also felt if important to note as well that many of the old windows do not have screens nor are there screen doors with locks on either entrance. So be very vigilant & know you will need to be hyper aware of those factors. Although the location & old school charm of this cottage is easy & great, just know that if you’re traveling with littles who may or may not have great impulse control yet or are not steady in their feet this may not be the right home for you & your family. All in all, we wished we could have been able to stay longer, despite the tweaking upon our arrival to make it as safe as we could without upending everything. It was an expected task, but we felt it was worth noting. Do check out the binder of old notes & finds from the original owners. It is clear that this house has a lot of years of love within those walls with some stories to tell. Overall, a nice mini trip.
