We needed a place to accommodate our family with 5 adults and two teens and it was just right! It has a nice yard for activities and games. The upstairs bathroom has a tiny shower and a small sink. Great for the guys in the group that don’t have to shave their legs or blow dry their hair. There are also a lot of stairs to climb to get to the main level, so I would not recommend this place for people that have a hard time getting around. Other other than that it was all wonderful! 😊 We could walk to Ogunquit Beach and to the Wells Lobster Pound. I highly recommend their fish sandwich. We hope to go back again….we loved it there!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Sunshine Shack, and I cannot express enough how exceptional my experience was. From the moment I booked until the day I checked out, every aspect of my stay surpassed my expectations. Here's a detailed review highlighting the cleanliness, host communications, and overall property that made this stay truly great. Cleanliness: One of the first things that impressed me upon entering the property was its impeccable cleanliness. The entire place was spotless, and it was evident that the hosts take great pride in maintaining a hygienic environment. The bathrooms and well-maintained kitchen, every corner of the property was flawlessly clean. It was truly a pleasure to stay in such a pristine and well-cared-for space. Host Communications: The hosts of this VRBO property were simply amazing when it came to communication. From the initial booking inquiry to the check-out process, they were prompt, friendly, and attentive to my needs. They responded to my messages promptly, providing clear instructions and addressing any questions or concerns I had. For example, I was traveling with my 18 month old and needed to ensure there was a pack n play available. Overall property: The property boasted an impressive array of amenities that added immense value to my stay. The kitchen included a Keurig machine, which made coffee making super convenient. The comfortable and well-furnished living spaces provided ample relaxation options, and the high-speed internet access was a definite plus. Additionally, the presence of a washer and dryer allowed me to travel light and keep my clothes fresh throughout my stay. I will say the stairs provided a bit of a risk traveling with my kid, but we adjusted and put chairs in front of the stairs. A gate might be nice to include for future guests with kids. Overall Experience: 5 stars! In conclusion, my Sunshine Shack stay exceeded all my expectations. I miss Maine already and cant wait to go back! I highly recommend this VRBO property to anyone seeking a clean and well-managed space with ample room and beds for everyone in your group!

This well-cared for cottage is absolutely beautiful & was definitely more spacious than the pictures depicted. The hosts are very gracious and responsive to any questions we had. A great mini vacation was had by all and we plan to revisit this diamond in the rough again sometime. Thank you.

The place was beautiful and the owners were responded quickly with any questions or issues we had. Would definitely stay again

Great plave to be at! It is a very quiet town to be in and relax there!! Walking on the beach and around the town! The place where we stayed at! It is a beautiful house to stay at! Looking forward to be there again!

We prefer to travel in shoulder season to avoid the crowds. This rental had almost everything we needed: bbq, beach chairs, extra blankets and pillows, equipped kitchen, 2 full baths, and plenty of space. When it was chilly at night, we turned on the heat. The a/c wasn’t as effective, but being mid-September, we only needed it once. A fan would be helpful! (I brought a potable fan.) We enjoyed a night around the fire pit and short walk to Moody Beach. Great location- would stay again!

A great weekend. Location was perfect, we walked to olgunquit, and there are many local restaurants within a short drive. Listing was accurate. Amy was very helpful with questions prior to our arrival. Would highly recommend this property.

Great location and lovely home....only 2 things I would say could make the stay even better. A tea kettle added to the kitchen and better mattresses would push this over the top!

Lovely view of the ocean from the Sunshine Shack. We had a fun and cozy time visiting our friends of many years.

This was a perfect house for our week in Wells. Lovely private lot on a dead-end street and while, one row back from the oceanfront - the view from the deck was spectacular. House was clean with plenty of towels and linens. Easy access to multiple beaches and a short bike ride to ice cream. Owners were easy to book with and responsive to questions.

A really wonderful place and setting. This was our second stay there and we hope to go again.

First of all - the owners did not misrepresent anything and as a matter of fact I was warned by them ahead of our visit. They were great in communicating with us ahead of the trip. I wanted to write this review in case there are others that think it's a good idea to stay at this property with really young kids. The stairs are between the living spaces and kitchen, meaning this really high traffic area can be quite dangerous for little ones. I had to move furniture around a lot to keep the kids safe. There is no screen on the front sliding door - so once again we couldn't keep it open in case the kids walk outside and fall down the stairs on the deck. The bathrooms don't have any handheld showerheads so it was quite hard to wash the kids, couldn't use the hose outside either as it had a hole on it. Other than that though the pictures on the listing are very accurate. It's in a lovely location that is quiet - the ocean breeze flows right in . Sitting out on the deck is a dream !

Rented this for a weekend visiting family nearby. Gorgeous place, great views, perfect for hosting my aunt and uncle when we weren’t out and about. Would definitely return!!

Very good weekend up in wells. House is very clean and it’s in a great location, views on the deck watching the sunrise we’re the best. I typically always give 5 stars but this one I did four, mainly because some things that were mostly out of the owners control. The heating units were having issues (first cold weekend for them so they didn’t know). Heat did work but not for the entire house. Also the grill definitely is at the end of its lifespan and I couldn’t get it going… owner did though and said it was going to be upgraded for next year. Both minor things that it’s obvious they’re working on to resolve. Owners were great hosts overall and I would definitely come back and stay here. They even shifted my beer into the shade that was getting too much sun and dropped off doughnuts because they felt bad about the heating situation. Solid spot, would recommend to all.

Our stay was very enjoyable. The home was clean and overall very lovely. We would stay again!

Easy check in, perfectly set up and great location. I would definitely recommend this to anyone staying the in Wells Moody Beach Area.

Quiet and clean! We liked that it was quiet and away from Rt 1 but easy to get to.

We had a fantastic two weeks at the Sunshine Shack. It was very clean and well maintained, making check in seamless. The property is in an excellent location, close to the beach and with stunning ocean views. Thanks for a great stay!

Loved drinking my morning coffee outside on the deck mesmerized by the sights and sounds of the ocean. House was very clean, nice layout, A/C was great, kids loved the bunk beds, and having the 2 full bathrooms was great for my family of 5. The home is in a quiet location with quiet neighbors. It was a 10-minute walk for beach access, which was great for the adults in the group who appreciated the exercise, but maybe not so much the case for my 5 and 7 year old (half of the walk does not have sidewalks). We passed the Wells Beach Lobster Pound on the way to the beach and it was nice to grab a few yummy, fresh lobster rolls (with plenty of lobster!) after a day at the beach. Overall, a wonderfully relaxing experience in a great house! Thank you to Ned and Amy!

My family stayed here for a week in July. The space is clean, the kitchen was well stocked. We were a total if 3 families staying together. The division of beds/rooms were perfect. My parents used the bedroom on the upper floor, my family (2 adults and one child) lower bedroom, and my sister's family (2 adults, and 2 kids) used the bunk room. The washer and dryer were nice to have and I used the small desk area to have a couple of work meetings in the afternoons when we got back from the beach. Amy and Ned were great to work with and answered all my questions quickly. They even gave us a gift certificate to their seafood restaurant which was excellent! From the house Moody beach is access from public way number 3. It is a private beach so you can not sit in a chair unless you are on the strip of beach that is part of the public way. Only the beach front properties can "use" the beach infront of their house. As a visitor staying not right on the beach you can walk Moody beach at any point. Since we had kids with us we drove to Ogunquit beach (which connects to Moody beach) all week. Parking is $4/hour, or $25 the day. The lot never ran out of spots and the bathrooms were very clean. The other beach we could have used was Crescent beach, but there is not as much beach at high tide and was definitely rockier than Ogunquit. We didn't make it down there but I would assume the shells would be better at Crescent. Yes, you could walk to the beach, but if you want to sit on the beach and have a wagon load of stuff and kids you probably will want to drive and park. The walk to Moody is on a narrow road with more traffic then I would feel comfortable walking with small children.

The property was generally as described and clean. Kitchen has utensils, basic pans, and dishware but is otherwise not stocked for serious cooking as only salt and pepper were available. No games or books were available so the set up was fairly basic with tv and high speed WiFi. Of course, we were there during COVID restrictions and imagine that the property is better equipped during other times. It is a short walk to the ocean but the beach is private and not accessible. One can see the ocean and hear the waves however from the living room so that was a big plus but one has to drive or take a shuttle to one of the beaches as those nearby are private. The house is otherwise conveniently located near wonderful beach towns of Kennebunkport and Oguinqut. If you don't mind a hike/drive to the beach, it's a good place to stay.

The property was as described and met our needs for the week. We were looking for a relaxing low key vacation and it delivered. The property was within walking distance to Moody Beach and easy drive to Ogunquit and adjacent sights. Would highly recommend.

My husband, son, and I LOVED this property. We thoroughly enjoyed having our morning coffee on the deck watching the sunrise over the water, and we also loved having a glass of wine and cheese in the evening on the deck while our son rode his scooter up and down the private lane. My son loved walking to the rocks each day as a recess break from virtual school. There was plenty of space for my son and husband to both work remotely at their own desk. The beach is close enough that I walked the beach each morning. It is in the perfect location to hear and see the ocean, and centrally located to get to Kennebunkport and Ogunquit. Amy and Ned were WONDERFUL!!!When we called them with questions, they promptly returned our calls. They brought us a few groceries, because they knew we were not comfortable going to the food store, along with their delicious clam chowder from their restaurant Fisherman's Catch! We can not say enough about them, their kindness, and this home! We are already planning our next visit!!

Great renters, house was quaint and beachy, very clean and comfortable. Property owners were very responsive to inquiries/issues. 1 block walk to ocean (rocky), 3/4 mile walk to beach. 45 minute drive to Portland airport and South Portland area, 5-10 min drive to Ogunquit. The town of Wells has a couple small restaurants but we drove to Ogunquit or South Portland for most of our dinners. Prego in Ogunquit had delicious pizza.

The house was great, in a lovely location. Amy's notes were helpful.

We had a fabulous time at this vacation rental. It was great to have a large family suite bedroom for all the grandkids to sleep in All of us were very comfortable. Having the linen service was also helpful with not having to pack all the linens needed !

We loved the Sunshine Shack from the moment we got there! It was clean and spacious and was well stocked with linens. We had plenty of space to hang out and all be very comfortable. The views of the ocean were amazing and the deck also provided a cool hangout spot! We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful time. The house was great for our needs. The owners were very responsive. We would definitely recommend this property.

What a great house and location loved the nice deck and yard as we happened to get great weather can’t wait to go back next year and Amy was great to talk to quick and helpful!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at the Sunshine Shack even though the sunshine was rare. The house is beautiful & spacious enough for the six adults in our group. The house is close to everything we wanted to do. We had one little hiccup when we arrived, but Amy responded immediately with the information that we needed! We will definitely return again!

The Sunshine Shack is everything we expected. Beautiful, cozy, clean, and inviting. It was the perfect place for my family and I to get a way to for the long holiday weekend.
