BEACH INFORMATION
Beach, has a sea wall and the Public Accesses have stairs to go down onto the beach. Along this section of Wells Beach, the water comes all the way up to the sea wall at high tide so you will lose the beach for about 1 to 1.5 hours on each side of high tide, depending on how high the tide is that day. Conversely, during low tide, there is a nice large flat, uncrowded beach of packed sand to play games and take long walks. The Jetty is a little over a mile and a wonderful walk. The low tide also leaves many tidal pools that are great fun for the kids to explore sea creatures or play in the water that is warmed by the sun. We (the hosts) live in this neighborhood and never mind planning our beach time around the tides, however, if you want to go to the beach at high tide, you can easily walk 7-10 minutes across Mile Road to Atlantic Ave Public Access #1 where there is beach during all tides. If you are already on our beach, you could choose to walk along the beach rather than going up to the street for an even easier 5 minute walk.

Some « be your guest » suggestions.
We would absolutely rent again. Some minor suggestions to consider to add confort. Couch & recliner in the living room are really not confortable. Strength of the bench at table is questionable to support to adults. Having 2 full nightstand is necessary when peuple with Cipaps are renting (room on second floor). We bored the one in the twin bed room. Lastly, we suggest you test your toaster ;) Thank you for a great stay though. Nathalie, Pierre, François and Sylvie

Wonderful stay at Wells Beach!
The property was lovely and exactly as advertised! One of the cleanest properties we have ever stayed at. Plenty of room for all of us to enjoy our time together. It was great having such a short walk to the beach, we were able to walk back and forth any time of day or evening. Especially to enjoy the full moon at high tide one beautiful night!!!

About the host

Hosted by Calla Baxter

Host profile image
We have enjoyed this Wells Beach neighborhood since 1996 when we started vacationing here with our family and friends. In 2002 we bought a summer cottage in this neighborhood, and in 2018 we moved from Massachusetts into our summer cottage (after a few updates for year round living) and became Maine residents. We love living here and think guests who stay in our rental next door will also love the area.

Why they chose this property

Walking to the beach is so convenient. It's an easy walk back and forth from the beach to the house for snacks, lunch, children's naps, sun breaks, to use your own bathroom, etc. Each person in your house can go to the beach when they want; you don't have to consolidate everyone into one car trip to the beach and hassle with parking availability and cost. The neighborhood is quiet and family friendly with nice residents and rental guests. It is not a "party neighborhood", but it is festive during the day and early evening when everyone is out at the beach and in their yards. There are many dead-end streets, including ours, which is especially nice.

What makes this property unique

This property is unique because you can walk to the beach and you can view the ocean and the marsh from the deck and living areas. This house was new construction in 2021. With a 1st floor Queen Bedroom and 1st floor Bathroom this house is great for multi-generational families. The neighborhood is welcoming. There is easy access to a grocery store and other conveniences without using Route 1.
