Great summer spot!
Our family of five really enjoyed spending the week here. The property was very clean and had all of the amenities we could want. This place is quite close to the beach, just a minute or two by foot. The interior spiral staircase would be a challenge for little ones or those with mobility issues. One detail that we really appreciated was that the screens to the two sliding doors and all of the windows in the house were in very good condition, so we were able to enjoy the ocean breeze all week without any bugs flying into the house. We look forward to staying here again next summer!

Great house even more perfect location!
We had a great time visiting Wells Beach this year and had an amazing stay here. You are across the street from the beach, takes less than a minute to get to, it was so easy to go to and from, especially with 2 toddlers! You are also right on the beautiful marsh, so you get the best of both worlds. The wrap around deck is gorgeous and you have great views of the marsh. The kitchen was fully stocked and the appliances were in great condition. It was a perfect family trip, definitely recommend!

Wells Beach family rental
Great rental! Short walk to the beach, beautiful sunset views and everything else you need for a wonderful week at the beach. Love the outdoor shower. The air conditioning came in handy, as did the washer and dryer. The owner was really great too! Will be renting this house again!

About the host

Host profile image
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.
