Also within walking distance is Wells Beach Center with shopping, arcade, playground, trolley stop (not currently running), restaurant and ice cream. The Hannaford Grocery Store, ATM/Bank, Movie Theatre, Liquor Store and a Laundromat are within about 1 mile from the house. The Wells Commuter Rail Station (to Boston or Portland, ME) and the I-95 exit Rt 109, is about 2 miles.

PLEASE BRING (or arrange to rent) your linens and bedding, including blanket, mattress pad (recommended), sheets, pillow cases, bath towels, bath shower mat, hand towels, wash cloths, kitchen towels. If you prefer to rent these linens instead of bringing your own, I recommend Cottage Linens. Go to www.cottagelinens.com and select what you need and they will deliver on the day you checkin and then pick up the used linens on the day you check out. I am not affiliated with this company in any way, but they provide a nice service for many guests in the area. Also bring your toiletries, bath soap, toilet paper, paper towels, spices for cooking, napkins, beach towels, beach chairs, cooler, beach toys, etc.

PARKING: The property has Parking for 2 Cars, tandem (one behind the other). If you need additional parking, you can arrange it in advance with the owner of a private parking lot only 2 houses away. Additional information will be provided with your booking confirmation.
Parking is not allowed on any streets in this area of Wells.
The town parking lots at the beach end of mile road (next to the playground, and at the beachfront) have pay stations for the day. They don’t allow overnight parking.

BEACH INFORMATION
Our 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 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.

The 'HOUSE INFO BOOK at the house has additional information about using appliances, A/C, heat, and enjoying area activities
The property is non-smoking inside and outside.
Pets are not allowed.
Bachelor, Bachelorette or large parties are not allowed.

    The property was exactly as advertised- super clean - steps from the beach - the neighborhood was quiet and felt safe and family friendly throughout our entire stay - the roof top deck was a favorite spot for all of us - even though it was a bit cool in October the view and the fresh air were incredible! - we loved this house and would highly recommend it and hope to return if we come back to Wells in the future!

    Location was amazing ! The house is beautiful as well. Hosts were lovely. Only thing was renting linens - found this just a small hassle wish it was just rolled in to the cost of the Vrbo hosts and they took care of it. Otherwise it was perfect for our vacation.

    This is a great new cottage, very close to the beach. The house feels solid, is very clean and feels fresh. The balcony is great with views of marsh & ocean. We especially appreciated having a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor which was easier for an older adult guest with mobility issues. It was very convenient to be able to drive right up to the beach but check the tide table - there is no beach at high tide at this spot. Calla was a great host! I’d requested sunshine for our whole vacation and she totally delivered. Thanks Calla!

    Our stay was wonderful. We would definitely recommend to those with families as the house was clean and had plenty of space for us without bumping into each other. The house was walking distance to the beach, had good parking right outside, and even though it was a rainy weekend we got to enjoy the beach for a bit, and do a local Maine Puzzle. It was close to town and we got to have local pizza and was easy access to/from the highway.

    My sister and I really enjoyed staying at this property. Calla was very responsive and accommodating to our needs. While the weather wasn't great, we still had a great time. The second-floor deck was awesome, allowing both marsh and ocean views. We were there during a May Nor'easter storm and the waves were incredible. The property was great. My only comment about making the listing better is to let folks know that there really isn't a yard, but the 2nd floor deck more than makes up for it.Thanks Calla so much!!Judy
