Description of the Wells vacation home rental

Just off Route 1, this home is light and airy, with plenty of living area both upstairs and downstairs and is noted for it's historical charm. It is absolutely perfect for anyone, especially families with children. It is uniquely located just 500 feet from the very first Wells settlement at Webhannet Falls; You can still see the stone blocks used to build the dam for their grist mill, which dates to 1640!

Situated on a dead-end road, it is ideally suited for children to safely ride bikes/play on or to head over to explore Webhannet Falls. We occasionally even see deer and turkey here feeding in the grassy areas along the road.
There’s even a rope tree swing in the yard that everyone loves to use! After a day at the beach, let the kids have fun swinging on the rope swing underneath a huge pine tree!

The arbor-covered patio is a great place to have cookouts or entertain, and the fire pit is ideal for gatherings and marshmallow roasts.

The home is only one mile from Wells beach, and a very short walk to anything you would need: grocery store, movie theater, CVS, restaurants, Reny’s department store, and a very fun nightclub with live music. It is also right on the trolley line that takes you around town or, north to Kennebunk and Kennebunkport, or south to Ogunquit.

Remodeled to provide maximum living area, this home has high ceilings and an open-concept approach that provide ample space for up to 6 people. With a living room upstairs and another downstairs you can spread out and not worry about feeling cramped as you might in a typical cottage.

Area Information

If you've never vacationed in Wells, you don't know what you're missing. The townspeople pride themselves on their friendliness; the beaches are ultra-clean and family-friendly (no loud boomboxes, plenty of lifeguards, etc.) and the scenery is stunning. Off-season events make this a very popular spot for visiting as well.

Only a few minutes north on Route 1 is Kennebunkport with it's beautiful quaint shops and restaurants right on the water and Walker's Point, location of the Bush Family Compound (don't be surprised to see George W. Bush fishing or operating his speedboat just offshore during the summer). A short drive south is Kittery with it's world-renowned shopping.

In Wells itself are many fantastic places to eat including: Mike's Clam Shack, Billy's Chowder House, The Fisherman's Catch (our favorite for it's rustic charm), and of course the world-famous Maine Diner.

We had a very good time here. Its close to the beach and all the amenities! There's a little farmers stand at the end of the road with fresh veggies and fruits. Its really a great place and I recommend it! :)

Satisfied kids.....priceless

July 9, 2012

This property is very "homey" and clean. It's conveniently located off Route 1 so your centrally located to go anywhere without traveling too far. It has a rope swing & tree swing that both my kids thoroughly enjoyed! My12 year old son enjoyed making a fire in the "fire pit" at night to make smores & it also helped to keep the bugs away too. My 10 year old daughter didn't like the bugs at all, that's my city girl for ya'.

Owner's reply:

Glad you enjoyed the stay! I'm afraid there's just not much I can do about the Maine bugs!

October 3, 2010

We had a very comfortable stay in this clean, nicely decorated and very roomy (large living room / dining). This apt in older well kepted Maine home was very well situated and convenient. I recommend it to all.

Wells Cottage Vacation

July 18, 2010

We had a great time on our first vacation in Maine. The cottage we stayed in was a perfect size for our family of four. It was easy access to the beach and shopping. We ate at some great restaurants. The ocean was still a little cool but that didn't bother the kids in the least. We had a great time!

we loved the location, so close to everything and it was great having fresh corn at our front door. We had more than enough room and everything we needed. Thanks! We had a great time! Kenny & Diane
