Wells Garrison

Clean and great for our family. The complaint I had is minor but major when serving meals to a family of 7. There were no serving spoons! We had to use teaspoons to serve. I thought the beds, bedding were of very nice quality. Lots of towels. TV is every room was great. Loved the big family kitchen table. Plenty of outdoor dinner tables and chairs that we didn’t use due to weather. Ryan, our VRBO host was very helpful. We enjoyed our stay in the yellow Garison House.

This IS in the back of the parking lot of Mike's Crab Shack

Our family was there for my daughter's graduation from UNE. Size wise, the house was perfect for all of us. Plenty of space for everyone to not be on top of each other. Plus being a historic home adds to its charm. The negatives. The listing does NOT let you know it faces the parking lot of Mike's Crab Shack(like literally that is the front yard view). On busy nights, there is a ton of people outside talking loudly, cars/trucks everywhere. There are NO curtains on the windows, just mini blinds that do not keep headlights out, nor the blaring sunshine at 4/5am. The kitchen is minimally stocked, so if you plan on cooking for large parties, be prepared to have to go buy items. Heat/Cool is done by "minisplits". While this may seen a great idea, when our arrival night time temperature reached 19 degrees with the windchill, the house could NOT stay warm enough. The yard upkeep is minimum. There are utility trailers parked beside the yard(the owners likely, but put up a fence, it's unsightly) and the grass was not taken care of around there. We did have a breaker off when we went to use the dishwasher, and had to call the manager, who was responsive, and sent someone to go down in the basement...um that's a place you don't want to explore. Pricing for our time period May 17-24th, was decent, but being honest about exact location would've made a difference considering what the occasion was. Exterior shows lots of rot, ruining outside photos. 4/5 Stars

Girls’ weekend

Our group of college friends had a great stay in Wells. We participated in the half marathon and 5K, and the location was perfect. The house is right on the race route, and close to the parking areas. The size of the house was great for our group of 5, and we also enjoyed the back patio table thanks to the great weather. This was probably the cleanest rental house I’ve ever stayed in. The property manager was also very responsive when we had questions. We will definitely consider staying here again in the future!

Great Centrally Located Spot!

We had a great time staying at the Garrison house. It was very comfortable for two families and had a well stocked kitchen. Location was great for exploring the area. Property Manager was quick to respond when we had an issue with locks on the bedroom doors. Would definitely recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Ryan

I have been in the hospitality industry and rental business for as long as I remember. My grandparents purchased multiple properties on Wells Beach and was always involved in managing, maintaining and cleaning the properties. I enjoy to host and want to give my guests the best experience possible.

What makes this property unique

The historic Garrison house used to be located across the street from Congdon's Donuts (1009 Post Road, Wells) was moved to its current location by the current owner to save a piece of history.
