Neptune’s Lookout — sunrise views, salty air, beach days on repeat.

Wells, Maine, United States

Welcome to Neptune’s Lookout — a bright, beachy retreat on iconic Ocean Ave, just steps from the sand and the calm waters of Fisherman’s Cove. Park the car, exhale, and slip into vacation mode… everything you love about coastal Maine is right outside your door.brbrInside, you’ll be greeted by a sun-filled open-concept main level where the kitchen, dining, and living space flow together effortlessly. Big windows pull in that warm ocean light all day long, giving the home an airy, easy vibe that instantly says you’re at the beach now.brbrStep out from the living room to the back porch and yard — your spot for morning coffee, afternoon sun, and family cookouts on the grill. There’s an outdoor dining table ready for lobster rolls, sunset dinners, and long, salty evenings spent together. Want a break from the sunshine Head back inside to the family-sized dining table for a cozy meal, a round of cards, or a quick snack before the next beach run.brbrNeptune’s Lookout is set up beautifully for families and groups. The first-floor bedroom is ideal for kids, grandparents, or anyone who wants easy main-level living, and it features one queen bed plus two twins (the twins can be converted to a king). You’ll also love the updated full bathroom on this level with a clean, elegant shower/tub combo that makes rinsing off after the beach a breeze.brbrUpstairs, the second floor welcomes you with seaside charm — salty shell touches and a little book collection that whispers “slow down, you’re on vacation.” The living space here is made for memory-making, with shelves stocked to the brim with board games like Scrabble, Pictionary, and plenty of puzzles for rainy afternoons or lively game nights. Just across the hall you’ll find another beautifully modernized bathroom with a sleek shower and a marble-topped vanity that feels fresh and coastal.brbrThe primary bedroom on the second floor is your private retreat. It offers a queen bed, TV, and a coffee bar with drip coffee so your morning starts easily no matter what time you wake up. Step onto your large private balcony and take in the view of sandy Moody Beach — perfect for sunrise coffee, sunset cocktails, or a quiet moment while the rest of the house sleeps. Need to mix in a little work while you’re away A dedicated desk has been added for your use.brbrHead up to the third and final level to find the loft-style bunk room with ocean views and a playful hangout space that kids (and kids-at-heart) will adore. With two full-under-twin bunk beds and a little play area for chess matches or late-night laughs, it’s the perfect finish to this multi-level beach home.brbrThere’s parking for up to two cars in the driveway, and you’re only a two-minute walk to Public Way #2 or #3, which means beach days are as spontaneous as they should be — no packing up the car, no long treks, just grab your towels and go.brbrCome stay at Neptune’s Lookout and settle into the rhythm of Moody Beach — salty air, sandy feet, and that magical feeling of being right where you’re meant to be.

Private Vacation Home

MARSHVIEW IS A LOVELY PLACE TO TO SPEND YOUR VACATION: REST, RELAXATION & MORE

Wells, Maine, United States

WELCOME TO MARSHVIEW SOUTHbrbrOur lovely home is a short, 500-yard walk to beautiful, private Moody Beach-- voted one of the best beaches on the East Coast. CONTACT US FOR 2023 RATES!brbrOur home, Marshview, is a large, two-story duplex, located on a quiet, private road. The Southside Cottage sleeps 6, as does the Northside cottage. (See rental #229249.) For large gatherings or groups of more than 6, rent the entire house. With all the amenities it's a great place for vacations, family reunions, wedding stays and so much more.brbrFIRST FLOOR:brSince we purchased MARSHVIEW in the late 1980s, we've updated, renovated & redecorated. We remodeled our large, fully-equipped kitchen with new countertops and tile backsplashes, as well as painted it in soothing, cool shades of blues. The half bath on the first floor has been completely rebuilt with new fixtures and tile floors.brbrIn the spacious living room, you can hear the waves, catch the smell of the sea, and be lulled by the ever-changing light. We hope this adds to your beach experience. This area is furnished with comfortable furniture, lots of pillows, games, smart TV, DVD, and internet.brbrSECOND FLOOR:brOn the second floor, there are three bedrooms and a full bath. We installed new flooring throughout the upstairs, making it easier to keep this area sand free. The refreshing blue walls combined with the mutating light give each room a unique feel. brbrThe master bedroom with a queen-sized bed is in the front of the house. It’s a prime location to hear the waves crashing against the sea wall, one street away. By keeping the windows open it's usually cool enough to need the quilts on the beds or even the blankets that are stored in each closet. On those atypical days when it’s HOT in Maine, there are fans in each closet. The middle bedroom contains two twin beds. The back bedroom has two singles and overlooks the ever changing Rachel Carson Preserve with its sights and sounds of various birds and other wildlife.brbrDECK & OUTSIDEbrThe back deck is a lovely area. It’s a “cool” place to drink your morning coffee or the perfect spot to view the spectacular sunsets. It overlooks the Rachel Carson Sanctuary and Preserve, a thriving habitat for many species migratory birds. So you’ll want to bring your binoculars, camera or paint/sketch pad. The Preserve is also a great place for canoeing and kayaking. You can rent these at various places in the area.brIn Marshview’s large backyard, you have your own charcoal grill and picnic table. There is a fire pit and hot & cold outdoor shower that are shared by both sides. The front yard is pleasant, oversized and perfect for playing—but not for parking!brbrTO START YOU OUTbrTo make it easier for our guests when you first arrive, there is a roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, a dish towel and dish cloth, as well as a roll of paper towels. There is also olive oil & vinegar, vegetable spray, salt & pepper, kitchen garbage bags, dish detergent & hand soap. (The only thing I ask is that you leave a note for my housekeeper if you run out, as a courtesy to the next guests.) There are 2 low-slung, sand chairs for your use. We bought a Beach Buggy for you to transport your belongings to beach. Blankets & pillows are provided, but guests must provide their own sheets, towels, etc. and we ask that you respect what's ours!brbrMOODY BEACH: brSpectacular Moody Beach is a private, sandy beach that provides something for people of all ages and all tastes. It’s a place for surfers and walkers, body surfers, surf casters, kayaker, or for those who just want to enjoy the sun and sea. Its tidal pools are spots where the young can enjoy the water and build their sand creations. brbrIn the evening and the moon is full, the scene of the moon of the ocean is breathtaking. Regardless, the beach is usually lit by bonfires and flood lights to enhance the ocean’s stunning and mysterious views.brA new kitchen suite, new living furniture and a dishwasher to make your stay more carefree!brbrWALKING THE BEACH: brThe beach is a great place to walk anytime—day or night. Just north to of our public right-of-way is a rock jetty. Our grandchildren amuse themselves for hours finding treasures in those rocks. . At low tide, you can take a 4-5 mile walk on the beach south to Ogunquit, the Marginal Way or Perkins Cove. brbrOCEAN AVENUE VIEWS:brGo out to Ocean Avenue; turn left—i.e. north: Walk or ride your bike and take a 3+mile ride along Ocean Avenue with its breath-taking views of the sea. (Bring your camera.) You might catch sight of the seals basking in the sun on the rocks near Wells Beach. You won’t be disappointed as the sea crashes against the sea wall or draws back to reveal the rock formations that are gradually transformed from one summer to the next.brbrTHINGS TO DO:brIn the house, we’ve collected pamphlets about emergency services, churches, art galleries, museums, tourist attractions, historical sites, deep sea fishing and whale watch cruises and more. There are golf courses in Wells, York, Kennebunkport and Kennebunk which can accommodate all skill levels. The Ogunquit Playhouse has been producing professional theatre since 1933 featuring show business legends. It’s an opportunity to see quality, Broadway productions at prices you can afford. brbrAll this information is in a basket on the bottom shelf of the table next to the front door. Relax on the back deck and plan what you like to do next.brbr OUR RECOMMENDATIONSbrMAINE'S COASTLINE: brThere’s much to do in addition to going to the beach. Take a ride alone Maine’s beautiful coastline, through its historic fishing villages and towns, meandering roads, antique shops, or art galleries. There are books at the house about the history of Moody Beach and Wells. They weave the history of the Coast, trace it and makes some conclusions about the emergence of the area today. The Destination Guides, that are in the basket near the door, also have activities for children, trolley rides, day trips, deep-sea fishing, whale watching, cruises, lectures, and much more.brbrThere are high-end outlets in Kittery and Freeport--the home of LL Bean--selling everything from housewares to family apparel and accessories. Interesting boutiques feature one-of-a-kind gifts, hand-crafted items, as well as designer jewelry, leather goods and more. You can’t leave Maine without bringing something home with you.brbrTREAT YOURSELF: brRight up on Route 1, in the same plaza as Hannaford's Supermarket, go to Naviina Day Spa, a full service salon and day spa. (Naviina is derived from Sanskrit meaning new, fresh and modern.) Schedule a massage or facial with Jen. (Tell her we sent you.) She is exceptional. I literally come up to Maine just for Jen’s massage. Call first--even before you arrive--to ensure you get the appointment you want.brbrLOBSTA brWho would think of coming to Maine without eating a lobster dinner One of my favorite places for lobster, clam chowder or fish dinners is Fisherman’s Catch, a rustic, friendly, family-owned restaurant off Route 1N on Harbor Rd. on the way to Wells Harbor. (If I don’t eat there several times a season, I go into withdrawal.) There are places where you can buy your lobster already cooked or raw and bring it home to cook or eat. Sometimes, there are festivals in Wells, Ogunquit or surrounding towns which often feature fish fries, lobster bakes, etc. Check in the basket I've left, on the bottom shelf of the table right inside the front door, there’s a schedule of events in the front. Find the free Tourist News weekly newspaper which is full of everything that's going on.brbrFOR ALL PALATES & POCKETBOOKS: brbrFrom the ever crowded Egg & I to the Old Village Inn, That Place in Ogunquit and Barnacle Billy’s in Perkins Cove, Clay Hill, Varano’s, Federal’s and Fisherman’s Catch are just a few of the restaurants we like. Merriland Farm Café offers a fantastic breakfast, as well as lunch and dinner. (This is where the homemade jam we given you is from.) Check the ever-expanding basket. Some people are good enough to leave notes in the sign-in book or cards, menus that give you their picks for great places to eat. br br RESERVATIONS ACCEPTEDbrOur home is open from May to October—depending on Nature’s cooperation. Many people reserve for the next summer before they leave. We have guests who have become like family--we know their children, are excited about family weddings, and wild about their the births of the Grandes. brSpring and Autumn are lovely times of the year. It’s quiet; there are no lines and the prices are lower. The color of the landscape and sea are different than in the summer, but they are striking and breathtaking. We love being here at all times of the year.brbrAny season is enriched by being here in Maine! We hope you'll spend your vacation at our lovely, seaside home! brbrWe try to make Marshview seem as if, as one of our guests says, “my own summer home”. Come and make it yours for a week or two. It is a great compliment when people tell us how they look forward to coming to Marshview and are unhappy to leave.brThanks so much visiting our website. We hope you visit our home,brbr The Murphy/Brown familybr

We love being here at all times of the year.brbrBeing in Maine enriches your body, mind and spirit. We hope you'll spend your vacation at our lovely, seaside home! brbrWe try to make Marshview seem as if, as one of our guests says, “your own summer home”. Come and make it yours for a week or two. As I said before, it's important to us that you're happy and comfortable when you're staying at Marshview and reluctant to leave.brbr Thanks so much,brThe Murphy/Brown Family
