Wells, Maine
Spend your vacation in our comfortable Moody Point beach home. Our Sunshine Shack is located just steps away from the Atlantic Ocean at the end of a safe and quiet dead end street with only three other houses on the road. We have lovingly updated this cottage. We hope the details and effort will show how excited we are to share our cottage and beautiful Moody, Maine with other families and friends. Come see what is so special about the Wells, Moody, Ogunquit and Kennebunk beaches, restaurants and activities.
Our two story Sunshine Shack is filled with sun and is appointed with comfort and pleasant coastal colors and textures. We have 3 bedrooms and can sleep up to 9 comfortably (Bedroom one has 1 Queen, Bedroom two has 1 Queen and 1 Twin, Bedroom three a true family suite has 1 Full, 1 Twin daybed, and 1 Twin Bunk Bed. Linens are not provided, (please pack all bedding and linens) to guests. Cottage Linens is a local linen rental company that is available if you wish to rent linens.
There are two bathrooms (one full and one 3/4) and a full custom kitchen with bar seating for four. The kitchen seamlessly flows into a sitting area which then gives way to the dining area. The dining table seats 6 and is positioned in order to enjoy the ocean views out of the eight foot slider that opens to the deck. The upstairs is very open and makes for an excellent entertaining area. Open the newly installed oversized sliding door and let the sight, sound, and smell of the ocean fill the cottage and your heart.
Our air conditioned, beach cottage includes a 46” Flat Screen TV which is mounted above a gas fireplace. We have WiFi and an office space downstairs for someone who was unable to completely leave work behind and a Play Station for the occasional and sometimes welcomed rainy day. Our kitchen has a combination of granite countertops and warm butcher block surfaces, stainless steel appliances, and all the cooking and dining items you may need. We also have a beautiful large gas fire pit that sits off our deck where you can have a glass of your favorite summer beverage in the glow of fire light all while listening to the waves crash the shore just 50 yards away. Outdoors we have a patio table on the deck and a small conversation patio set. A good sized yard, lawn games and plenty of areas and activities to enjoy outside of the cottage.
Some of the places we really enjoy in the Wells/Ogunquit area include:
Wells Harbor where they have restaurants, a free concert every Saturday evening (in season) in the gazebo, a great playground, and a working dock where you can watch the lobstermen come and go, take a fishing charter, catch crabs, or rent kayaks and paddle boards.
Wells Beaches are made up of miles of sandy and salty goodness. They include Moody Beach, the Main Beach (trolley stop) Crescent Beach and Drakes Island Beach. These are all great places to fly kites, discover sea life in tide pools and jump over or run from waves.
Laudholm Farm and the Rachel Carson Preserve are both in Wells and are excellent nature centers where one can Bird watch and walk along trails and see the beautiful transition from Maine woodlands to freshwater estuaries to saltwater marsh life.
In Ogunquit we enjoy going to Perkins Cove (trolley stop). This is either the start or the finish of Marginal Way, a coastline walking path with perhaps the most picturesque and bold views of the Atlantic ocean that you will ever find. Ogunquit has many great restaurants, a nationally recognized beach, a good nightlife and a world renowned Play House. The best part is that it is the next town over and only a short drive or trolley ride from our cottage.
We have provided internet links in our online guest book to some of our favorite places in the area and have also included a few “secret spots” in a booklet in the cottage. We live and work in the area and will always try to be available for questions regarding the cottage and things to do. We truly want whoever rents our Sunshine Shack to have the best time and feel like they got to know our coastal community and love the whole experience as much as we do.
What a fantastic property and excellent location. Clean and efficient. We used a local linen company that was fantastic (our stay was less then 1 week). Views were phenomenal and close to shore access. Quick drive or bike ride to beaches. Close to town. Large front yard. Owners quick to respond to emails. Quiet, even though it's snuggled amongst other homes. We would return here without a doubt. Thanks!
Tom ,Sue, Nguyet and I enjoyed our stay at the sunshine shack at Wells Beach. The weather this year was perfect - warm and sunny. Tom, Sue and Nguyet agreed the lobsters they had at your restaurant were some of the best lobsters they have had at Wells Beach. Our only criticisms are that I wish I had received your email with the code to the house the day before we left Webster, also Tom and Sue had problems with the plumbing in their bathroom, and my wife found the floors very dusty. I hope you will find our comments helpful. William J Schrader
We loved our stay at the Sunshine Shack. The house is lovely with a great deck and view of the water. The house is steps away from the ocean. The beach is rocky, but it is a short drive to Ogunquit Beach which is a beautiful sandy beach.
We finally found the perfect place for our family get together in Maine. The house was great (we travelled with small children). It had everything we were looking for. The location is fantastic: we could hear, smell, and look at the ocean! We either walked to the beach or went with the bikes. We definitely would love to go back there again!
The Sunshine Shack was perfect for our vacation. Immaculately clean and newly renovated. Updated, new, and super cute furnishings and decor- great attention to detail. The kids loved the bunk beds, and there was plenty of bedding options. Having A/C was great. Kitchen was well equipped (excellent coffee maker!). Awesome ocean views, plenty of privacy. The deck is well furnished and very relaxing to hang out on. Owners were very attentive and helpful. We had a slight issue with the firepit and they were on the ball- fixing it right away. Only additional feedback- there is no washer/dryer (we have two kids!), so if you're like me and assumed there was one, but didn't look through the list of amenities to confirm, take note! However, this was a blessing in disguise because I utilized the fluff and fold service of the local laundromat so we still had clean clothes, but I wasn't doing laundry all week- bonus. So either pack accordingly or treat yourself to the services at the laundromat.
We have been going to Maine for 30 years as a family, and my husband for 50 years, and his Mum and Aunt for 80 years. This year we celebrated Auntie's 90th birthday at The Sunshine Shack...IT WAS PERFECT!!!! We will definitely book again for this property...Amy and Ned were great! And of course, we had the birthday dinner at The Fisherman's Catch, which as always, was delicious!
