Great Stay!

We had a great stay at Beach Dreams! The kids loved walking down to the pool/club house each day and the property was as described. Perfect location to downtown and beaches while being tucked back behind Post rd. Would stay again, thanks!

Great Cottage Away from Ogonquit Traffic

The cottage was clean and well maintained in a lovely community. It was close enough to Ogonquit without being in the midst of the crowds. Vanessa was wonderful with communication and even mailed back an item that we left behind. I would highly recommend this property to family and friends and would definitely stay there again the next time I am in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Vanessa and Brian

Host profile image
We are Vanessa and Brian, your Beach Dreams hosts. We are central Massachusetts residents, but have adopted Wells as our own "vacationland." We have a girl and a boy and a grouchy kitty named Cotton. We are always happy to answer questions and to share our favorite local recommendations for dining and entertainment with you. We hope that Our Happy Place will become your Happy Place too!

Why they chose this property

Beach Dreams is conveniently located right off Route 1 in Maine, a short from the beach or downtown Ogunquit. The complex offers a large pool, a "kiddie" pool, hot tub, a gameroom, and a gym. Our cottage is recently updated (new pictures coming soon!) and well-appointed, with plenty of movies, games, and puzzles for your family and friends to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the summer nights and al fresco dining on the screened-in porch. The complex has little traffic, which makes it ideal for walking (you can walk down to get your morning coffee and breakfast sandwich from For the Love of Food and Drink at Saltwater Farm) or kids bike-riding (our son learned how to ride a bike on the Beach Dreams paths).
