Bask in the breezy, beachy atmosphere of this dog-friendly Wells cottage, a lovely Maine escape with a simple, charming interior, beautiful sunset views of a tidal marsh, and easy walking access to the beach and ocean one block away!
This tidy, single-level cottage sits on the eastern edge of the Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve, just across Atlantic Avenue from the sand and surf of Wells Beach. Take morning walks to watch the lobster boats come and go from Wells Harbor three-quarters of a mile north, spend your afternoons boogie boarding and sunbathing on the ocean beach, and search for hidden treasures in the dozens of antique shops that line Wells' stretch of Route 1 three miles west.
Wake up to the sounds of coastal birds nesting in the neighboring wetlands and brew a fresh pot of coffee in the cozy kitchen. Assemble a homemade fruit salad for breakfast using local Maine blueberries, toss your flip-flops and beach towels in your bag, and spend the morning building sandcastles on Wells Beach. Indulge in a peaceful afternoon nap in the sitting room, and catch an unforgettable sunset over the marsh with a cocktail or a local microbrew in hand. One dog is welcome to come along, though please note our nightly pet fee.
You'll come back to the ease and comfort of this Wells cottage year after year - book your stay in Southern Maine today!

Absolutely lovely stay. So many seabirds in the marsh. The ocean is a block away. Relatively private and the cottage is sweet. Look forward to returning!
Fantastic location, easy check-in, well stocked kitchen and plenty of house linens. Limited 3 prong plugs and no bathroom outlets but incredibly minor issue, would have just planned for that.
A fun week with beautiful weather. The view from the sun room was spectacular to watch the sunsets and the wildlife on the marsh. Very easy walk to the beach. The only negatives were that the access key pad took some getting used to, and the bathroom was small and a little dated (not show-stoppers).
Peaceful, comfortable and clean. The best was how close the beach was. The neighbors were all very friendly. Everything was provided even beach towels.Thank you for such an easy stay.Would definitely recommend and stay again.
Loved our stay here! Inside: Small, but not in a bad way. Felt like being in a camper bathroom, plently of sleeping room, and honestly more closet space than some other places ive rented. Outside: AMAZING! Beautiful location, tide comes right up. Perfect for a paddle or sip some coffee and watch the sea birds. Gorgeous sunsets. Cant beat the beach across the street. I visited with husband and 2 teen girls. We had a blast, and will definitely be back!
Its a nice little place. Very clean with an amazing view of the sunset from the couch or back yard. Kinda small though so id recommend just a couple people. Id stay again. The Beach is maybe a 5 minute walk away.
Cozy, cute cottage. Very clean. Just great for myself and my pup.

Happy stay!
It is a dated home but clean and comfortable. It was very well equipped in regard to towels/linens as well as the kitchen dinnerware, cookware, utensils etc. Everything you could possibly need at a vacation home.

This rustic cottage on the marsh side of Wells beach was a delightful place to stay for 2 adults and their dog. The cottage was exactly as described in the listing and in VRBO reviews and was spotlessly clean upon arrival.

Great Location.
Just a few minutes to beach where there is plenty of room, even at high tide. Gorgeous sunsets, especially if the tide happens to in. This is our second year here. We'll be back.

Thank you for your review, David! It is always our goal for our guests to be able to use everything the home has to offer. We take guest feedback seriously and have forwarded this information to the local staff so they can address your concerns and hope for another opportunity to host you for a truly exceptional experience.
Spent morning sitting in front room watching the tide come in before going out exploring. Is a very cute place in a very quiet neighborhood. Only drawback could be how small the bathroom is but it’s doable. We had a great time and would stay again.
The cottage is small, but it was the perfect amount of space for my mom, dog, and myself. It was clean, the neighbors were friendly, and the sunset views were absolutely amazing. Thankfully, we could walk to the beach and to the shops because construction traffic on the little road had us blocked in during the day, but we enjoyed exploring on foot! I would definitely stay here again!
Great location, stunning views and super cozy feeling!
We only had small glitches and things to note: some of the outlets/the toaster oven seem to not work properly; the wifi didn't work but we were able to set it up with the help of the property manager; and there is construction on neighboring properties.
Would visit again!
Only a few minutes walk to the beach and perfect sunsets from the porch overlooking the tidal river. Super clean. Only knock is the tiny shower stall, but the upsides of the cottage far out way that minor inconvenience. We'll be returning without worry.

Our mini vacation
I searched Vacasa for a rental for our mini vacation. I wasn’t looking for a long stay, just a quick get away with the kids at our favorite place in the world Wells Beach Maine. I came across this cottage. The cottage was beautiful! It was clean and had plenty of supplies, dishes, plates, silverware etc! But the best part about this cottage was the living room that had the most spectacular view of the marsh. It was perfect!
