About this property

Beachfront Property on Private Moody Beach

Please note: our availability is fully up to date on VRBO……We typically offer first right to renew to our existing guests and stay at the house ourselves in mid summer, so July and August are fully booked/unavailable. I share this because we get many inquiries about July/Aug and the house simply isn't available. That said, we still have one week in June, and a few in Sept which are some of the best weeks as the crowds die down, you still get warm beach days, and the leaf peeping in the area is legendary.

Moody Beach is a private beach located in Wells, Maine. With only ~ 100 homes along the beach, it stretches from Ogunquit to Moody Point.

Undoubtedly one of the finest residences on Moody. Constructed in 2011 - this magnificent property exudes a fantastic combination of charm & casual elegance. An amazing open concept floor plan w/ five bedrooms, five bathrooms, incredible kitchen & a stunning living room/dining/den combination space. Hardwood floors throughout, spectacular gas fireplace, gorgeous built-ins & fabulous tile work. Impressive landscaping accentuates the natural surroundings of this fantastic waterfront location. Exceptional home!

Moody is a private beach, so beach access is limited to oceanfront property owners/renters.

House has every imaginable amenity including gas bbq grill, numerous tv's, gas fireplace, washer/dryer, hair dryers, etc etc

Fantastic home on the beach!

We are thrilled to have spent our multi generational vacation in this spectacular home again this year. This is the perfect house for enjoying the view, walks on the beach, relaxing on the patio, playing games or working on a puzzle. Rick has stocked the house with everything needed during the stay. We can’t wait to return next year.

Picture Perfect

I surprised my mom for her 70th birthday with a trip to Maine. This house was absolutely perfect for our family! It was incredibly clean and had amazing ocean front views. We enjoyed every minute! Our only complaint is that we didn’t stay longer! Would love to come visit and stay again. Maine is so incredibly charming, and this house was the perfect retreat!

A magnificent gem on the Maine coast!

By far the best coastal property we have ever stayed at! We rent 3 times a year on the Maine coast and the May week is most special as our grown sons and their families join us for a week of reconnecting. We spend our days on the beach, playing games, cards, cooking and just enjoying the time . This home offered us every single detail we needed and made the week perfection. We have already signed up for next May! - Pam Natole

I wish I could give a 10 star rating!

This is our second year staying at this amazing property on Moody Beach. We are residents of Central Maine, and once a year, our adult children, grandchildren, and close friends, gather at different places on the coast to reconnect from our busy lives. From our youngest grandson who is seven months old to my father, who is 83 years old, we all enjoy every second . The owner, Rick is extremely accommodating, gracious and responsive before and during the stay. The home offers everything you could possibly need for your vacation and the space for the entire family to spread out. Walking out onto the sand every day, waking up to the beautiful sunrises, cooking large meals together, playing board games and taking naps are some of the favorite parts of our days together. We look forward to many years of returning to create lifelong memories as a family. This is by far our favorite property in the 20 years we have been all gathering together!

Exceeds expectations

The photos of this house do not do it justice. The rooms are spacious, airy, and impeccably clean. The view of the ocean is incredible and the sound of the waves is the best white noise. The owner has prepared everything you need to know and is easy to communicate with. The location is perfect, close to activities, shopping, and restaurants. We had a wonderful stay.

Clean, spacious and on the BEACH, what more could you ask for! When I had to cancel our summer trip to Spain due to CoVid19, I was looking for a place where my family and I could spend time together, spread out and relax. Rick's place was the perfect spot and did not disappoint!

Best house that we have ever stayed in

We are a family of 5 (3 kids, 3 and under) and were looking for a last minute weekend get away. We wanted a large nice house right on the beach. We found it. Rick was unbelievably accommodating even while traveling. Having stayed in Nantucket, Bermuda, Scituate, Naples etc this was the best house and the nicest beach/ water that we have experienced. The house is very beach but very homey at the same time. We spent our time out in the yard/ beach. Coughlin’s Donut shop was a hit both mornings and the Wells Lobster pound was where we had two dinners. Availability is limited and understandably so. Great house, highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Rick

Host profile image
After many years of vacationing on Moody Beach, my wife Kim and I purchased this lovely beachfront home in 2017. My great grandfather built the 5th house on the beach back in 1912 and my family has been staying there throughout the summers ever since. We love and appreciate the sun rises and the memories created while spending time at the beach. We currently live in Dublin, Ireland w/ our two boys, yet are New Englanders through and through.
