We just happened upon this rental last minute and were so excited! The cottage was very clean and full of amenities. We loved the view of the lawn area and the short distance to the pool. Would definitely stay here again!

After coming up to Wells for 10 years and staying in hotels, my best friend and I decided to try something different. This cottage was exactly what we were looking for! We enjoyed being able to make our own meals in the kitchen, have a cozy living room area to relax in after a day at the beach and

We had another great time at this cottage as a family. It had everything we needed - including necessary space and items for some home-cooked meals. The pool was warm and inviting too! Thanks!

Perfect little cottage
Great space for my 3 kids and I. It has a very well equipped kitchen and access to a outdoor grill. Location was in a perfect spot with beach access and easy access to the highway's without sitting in Rt 1 traffic. The pool is heated which was nice because we were able to swim on the 1 rainy day we had. Needless to say we'll absolutely be back!

Orion and family,
Hello and thank you for the positive comments. We are glad you and your kids had a great time at Watercrest and enjoyed our cottage. We try to make it a home away from home whether you want to bake cupcakes, make a complete turkey dinner or have your very own lobsters we are equipped and ready to go. And yes you are right the heated pool is a nice amenity. We look forward to seeing you again in the great State of Maine at the Watercrest. Thanks again. Dan O'Brien, Owner
Very clean cottage. Everything you need to cook. Well located. The only point to improve is that we had to rent our sheets ($60) and there were no blankets.

Hello Chloe
We are glad you enjoyed our cottage and your stay at Watercrest.
Just to respond to your comments it is common practice to rent sheets and towels when renting a cottage in Maine and it is noted in the listing.
Also ever since Covid blankets are no longer provided which is also stated
Thanks again for staying with us. Dan
Nice stay at a quaint and cozy cottage - great location!
We love Wells Beach and we had stayed in a different cottage at this property before. The cottage is just as pictured: small and tidy with one small bedroom and a functional kitchen. It is not fancy but everything is in good condition.
It is located in an affordable and casual community, very convenient to several nice beaches and you can take the trolley into Ogunquit, which is a few miles down the road.
The shared facilities are nice, too: there's a good-size pool with a new-ish hot tub, shuffleboard, playground, bball court, and laundry room.
Needs some updating . Too hard to get in and out of the bed , I would put only one really nice bed . I’d also put a tv in the bedroom . Furniture much too large and too much of it . Dining table , table on porch?? Would be much more comfortable with 2 chairs cute table in the middle . Needs a bigger tv , put it on the wall .

Hello,
We are sorry that your 3 Day stay didn't meet your needs. We provide clean comfortable accomodations. We have had consistent 5 star reviews for many years. The table on the porch is to dine out there while overlooking the pool. As for the television it is not the main priority when vacationing in Maine and the sleeper sofa is required by the Association. Please feel free to vacation elsewhere in the future. Owner
This was our second stay in this cottage (last year we stayed for a week) and we love it! It's cozy, comfortable, clean, has everything we need, and is in a great complex with a pool and play areas for kids. We have two children and they were excited to go back again this year. Our youngest cried for the first hour of our drive home - that's how much she enjoyed our time there. The WaterCrest is well-located in Wells. Close to everything we need and not in the center of everything where traffic can be more challenging during high tourist times. The cottage and property are well cared for and it feels like a welcoming community. We will definitely stay at this cottage again. We've gotten to know it and the area and the owner is professional and kind. The entire experience has been a very good one both times and we hope to stay again soon! We miss it already!
Hello Henry,
We appreciate your kind and postive comments and hope you had a great stya while in Maine. We look forward to hosting you again if you find your way to Wells, Maine. We know you have a choice and thanks for choosing our cottage. Happy travels.

The cottage itself, pool and spa was really nice. We wanted to extend our stay for another day because we checked in one day late and the owner requested only by cash and to be picked up someone he knows instead of paying to the rental office or through VRBO. When we finally were able to find cash and called the third person, he was mad and sent us nasty messages that he will call the wells police if we didn't wake it the property next day, which of course we would do if we could not pay for it. i would rent theae cottages but not from owner especially this one.

The guest arrived A DAY LATE with no communication of a problem. Two days into their stay I was contacted as they "Loved the Place" and wanted to extend an additional day. I as the Owner agreed and gave them a discount for the additional day.
The Main Office refused to take payment because it was a VRBO rental, and I as the Owner had changed the rate to help them? I then again attempted to accommodate the Guest by giving them specific instructions (which they DID NOT follow) to pay for their additional day.
The guest had 36 hours to make the additional payment and DID NOT do so. After multiple calls, 6-8 Which went unanswered and multiple emails to the guest with NO REPLY I advised them to please vacate the property according to the VRBO rental agreement. I finally received a phone call from them.
The Guest (female) then became VERBALLY AGGRESSIVE AND ABUSIVE stating they would be staying the additional day after I declined. The Guest stated she COULD NOT get funds out of the ATM's that were available in the area? (Red flag).
I again as the Owner told GIZAM AKCAY on the telephone that she would have to vacate and which time she stated "I will get you on the review, you asshole."
I then advised her if she DID NOT VACATE the premises per the agreement Police would be called and she would be removed.
The next day management discovered that the programmable remote control for the flat screen television was MISSING.
I as the Owner attempted to have VRBO intercede with this Guest and they provided NO SUPPORT with customer service OUTSIDE the United States.
OWNERS DO NOT RENT TO THIS NIGHTMARE OF A GUEST. THEY DO NOT FOLLOW THE RULES AND ARE RUDE AND ABUSIVE.
We have a long history of five star stays and will continue to provide our guests with the best experience possible.
We got in very late & had NO information from the HOST, so did not know that we had to order sheets & towels. Had to call the
emergency number, but the manager of the property was very kind & got our linens together.

We appreciate your review and thank you for the five stars for your stay. We are sorry you did not see in our listing information that linens and towels are not provided and are extra or you can bring your own. This is the common custom when renting cottages in the State of Maine. Thanks.
Very nice, tidy cabins. Cabins are very close together, so with windows open there is no sound privacy. It had a complete kitchen, so very easy to cook meals. Perfect for our Wells vacation. I would absolutely stay again.
Hi Casey,
We wanted to thank you and your husband for staying with us. We know people have a choice when they travel. We are glad you had a great stay at Watercrest and enjoyed our cottage. We look forward to seeing you again when you travel to Wells, Maine.

Dean and family,
Thank You for the positive comments about out cottage. As I stated prior to your Booking the pool and Jacuzzi would be closed. This decision to close the Jacuzzi in September was made by our current President who is being replaced soon... Thank God. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again at Watercrest. Thank You again Dan O'Brien, Owner.

Great place in Well
We had the nicest stay here. It was perfect for two of us, though I can see how you can have a small family here. We walked to local restaurants and loved the pool. Everyone was very friendly and the house was very comfortable. The kitchen was recently updated and the front porch was great to store beach items and relax after a day. We will be back.

perfect spot for a family get away
We were there "off season" so the pool was closed, but we loved everything. Great location and amenities. This cute cottage was perfect for our family-much more comfortable than a hotel. The location was amazing we felt like we were able to get everywhere and see everything we wanted in our two days there.
