About this property

30 SECONDS TO BEACH: OCEAN VIEWS:HEAR THE SURF: THAT CLOSE: GREAT BEACH ACCESS

Stay on the Beachside of Atlantic Ave at Wells Beach. The convenience of beach access with this home is remarkable. The square footage of our home is about 725, but the whole small house is yours . Three upstairs bedrooms and 1 upstairs bathroom with Marsh views and even a little bedroom ocean view as well. If you are looking for super beach access and a small house that is all yours for your week, than this is it. Out your front door, along the right side of the beach house and onto the beach! Could not be easier beach access. Easy in and out parking for two mid sized cars alongside Atlantic Ave and right next to the house. (All stays contingent on receipt of signed rental agreement)

We are second time renters w/ David & Rebecca, first time at this location. Both locations we have stayed at I always appreciate the details- fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and furniture, lovely decor. The house was nicely updated but still had some of its older charm. We loved the porch- a nice place to see the ocean or watch the cars go by while enjoying the marsh view.We couldn’t have asked for a better place or a better stay, I highly recommend this adorable home by the sea!

Property was very clean. Small but so perfect for 3 people, the owner really made the most of the space. Literally walk out your door, and you are at the beach. Owner was responsive to a few minor issues. Will go back.

Great Spot

Great little spot on Wells Beach and a super convenient location to bop around the neighboring towns or take a longer drive up to Portland. The cabin was as described in the listing and could not be more perfect for a getaway. David is super attentive and a gracious host.

Quaint beach cottage - perfect location

The house is in a perfect location. We sat on the porch listening to the waves. The house is as described - small and very well equipped. Within walking distance to restaurants and quaint shops. Located in a residential section of the beach so not a lot of crowds. We would certainly consider going back.

Birthday Getaway

Every spring we go away for my birthday. We chose Maine this year because we hadn’t been up here in over 20 years so we gave it a shot. The location was great. Didn’t realize it was race weekend but we enjoyed cheering on the runners. Will definitely book again if we choose to return to the area.

Perfect location

This stay was perfect for our group of 4 adults and 1 little one under 2. Such a peaceful location. Super quick walk to the little downtown of Wells, and incredibly easy beach access. The cottage was small but turned out to be the perfect size for what we needed, and was very clean and comfortable. Make sure you bring your own bedsheets and towels! It clarifies this in the rental agreement and we just missed it, but the hosts did a great job accommodating our last minute needs. Will definitely be staying here again.

About the host

Hosted by David Gamblin

Host profile image
Our family has been coming to Wells for the last 15-20 years. We have stayed in all the hotels, motels and condo's along Route 1. Every morning was the same routine - Pack the car being careful not to forget anything (as we would be a 10 minute drive - with traffic - away from our lodging). The next step was hoping we would find parking and finally trudging to the beach with all our gear on our backs. One year, we decided we would start treating ourselves to staying right by the beach. It was the best vacation decision we ever made. No more stress.....on vacation. Nothing beats staying right by the beach. The convenience is remarkable. As this home was recently purchased (4/13/2021) there are not yet any VRBO reviews. My family and I do own another VRBO home (3912788) that has over 30 reviews and can serve as a testament to our commitment to providing a good lodging experience for our guests. Thanks for choosing to stay at our home

Why they chose this property

No trolleys, No fighting for parking, No trudging around with gear and kids in tow, No crossing busy streets to get to the beach and no public bathroom escapades. Open the door of your own whole vacation home and walk up the side of the of the beach house property and your on the beach. Access is amazing! House is 725 Square feet, but it is all yours. Outside space is limited directly around this home - so maximize your time on the beach and eating out at the great restaurants in Wells!! Beachside vacationing!!

What makes this property unique

Cook your own meals, park your car right next to the house with super easy access to Atlantic Avenue. A great location for beach access.
