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.

The Good: Wells Beach itself is nice - family friendly, calm waves, clean sand. Locals are friendly. The rental house was reasonably clean and is a few minute walk away from the beach. The Bad: The rental house has absolutely no "spectacular views of the ocean" nor does it have "3 vehicle parking" as claimed in listing at the time of this writing. Marsh view only, and two cars max parking. There are no sidewalks and many roadside obstructions that make walking anywhere unpleasant at best, and somewhat hazardous at worst. Bedroom doors have no locks so bring your own lock if privacy is important to you. We resorted to wedging a broomstick between the bedframe and door. The retrofitted spiral staircase, while entertaining for the first hour or two, is located in close proximity to the entrance door and this makes for a very cumbersome layout... watch your head when entering or exiting the house. The Ugly: The spiral stairs are inherently dangerous. Not only were a dozen bolts missing and numerous hand rail supports disconnectd, but the riser of every step is made of sharp metal that can catch the heel of feet while descending the stairs. My husband, and two of my children sustained lacerations from the spiral staircase. One of these injuries was quite severe removing a large flap of skin. To make matters worse, the property owner did not seem too concerned and was slow to respond to messages. Typical response time was several days.

My husband and I and two other couples had a wonderful week at the house. It took just a minute or two to walk to the beach just across the road. We enjoyed the common indoor and varied outdoor gathering spaces that the house offered. Further, the kitchen was well-stocked with most everything we needed, and there was an accurately-depicted well-worn assortment of beach chairs and toys. While the two first-floor bedroom mattresses should be and some of the furniture coverings could use an update (replacement/recovering), we thoroughly enjoyed the space and our time there.
