About this property

Welcome to our beach house! Get ready to take your shoes off, feel the fresh ocean air and forget about all of your cares.

It is a newly renovated vacation home in Wells, ME at Moody Beach. It is now available to enjoy year-round through VRBO following two years of renting to guests during the '21-'22 summer seasons.

"One of Ocean Avenue's most recognizable properties. Custom built and architecturally appealing with a fabulous floor plan designed to capture the fantastic ocean views!"

We wish that we were creative enough to write that ourselves but that's what the realtor wrote on the online listing when we bought the house. We hope you agree with it!

Steps to the beach. 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, sleeps 8, 5 parking spots. All new furniture and appliances. Open concept, ocean views from family room and Owner's suite, large jacuzzi tub. Central air conditioning.

Home is ideally organized for an extended family because bedrooms are on 3 floors. Each bedroom has a bathroom next to it.

Beach access is just a few short steps diagonal from our home (you can see it from our lawn). There is a crosswalk with a sign called "Public Way 2". The overall beach is generally considered 'private' as the beach side homes own a defined plot in front of their respective houses but the balance of the beach to the water is open. Plus, there is a 'public' area of 100ft to the right and left of the beach entrance that is accessible to you. So, you can walk the entire 2+ mile-long beach and hang out all day in the public zone area. Just don't sit on the sea walls in front of the homes. People have been following these guidelines for 30+ years. You'll love the convenience of heading back to the house to grab a quick snack and easily return to the beach in minutes - such a joy!

Annual weekend

We were thrilled upon arrival with this property. Very close to the beach, meticulously maintained with a beautiful bright and cheery interior. The living area was comfy and cozy. The kitchen lacked for nothing and the bedrooms were spacious with bed linens that were fresh and clean. We really enjoyed the deck off the kitchen for morning coffee and watching the ocean waves. A very lovely home and perfect location JB

Great spot for a family vacation

Beautiful home in a great location! We had a 1 year old and several other kids (aged 3-11) stay with us. The walk to the beach was shorter and safer than I expected (2-3 minutes total), which meant we could take multiple trips a day with the little ones and leave when they were tired or cold. Andrew and Kristen were great hosts and available promptly when we had questions. The weather wasn't great but we still had a blast, and would love to come back next year.

Wedding reunion.

We had guest from all over the east coast come to Moody beach house. The area was recommended by our son in law who has a family beach house nearby. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was a dream to cook in. The kitchen was well equipped for large meals. The beverage refrigerator was an added bonus. The grocery and restaurants were close by as well. We all were very pleased with our choice and recommend it highly to any incoming renter. Kudos to Kristen & Andy for such great hosts!

About the host

Hosted by Kristen Forti

Dear Guests,

Welcome to our beach house! Get ready to take your shoes off, feel the fresh ocean air and forget about all of your cares.

Moody Beach is a special place for us. Kristen's parents have been vacationing and living here for over 30 years. They rented a place prior to building their own home just down the street on Ocean Ave. Now we have our own place and you get to enjoy it too!

Moody Beach has been the family's “Happy Place." Growing up, Kristen would spend two weeks each summer running around the beach, wading in the warm tide pools (remember those?), boogie boarding, building sandcastles with friends, eating lunch at the beach, getting lobster rolls at Jake’s, going to the Scoop Deck for the world’s best ice cream, going to Perkins Cove for penny candy, and walking the Marginal Way to search for starfish…still many of our favorite things!! We are now creating these memories with our daughter and we hope your stay creates fond memories as well.

So please settle in, relax, and enjoy our Happy Place!

-Kristen & Andy
