On the marsh

The property is lovely and bright. The beds were comfortable. The back door opens onto a patio overlooking a marsh and from the front door you can walk to a gorgeous beach in five minutes. Our only complaint was that very little was provided. No sheets. No towels. No soap in the shower. We couldn't carry all that from Santa Fe so we had to scrounge from friends. There were no beach chairs but our hosts realized we couldn't have brought any and dropped some off on the second or third day. Much appreciated. As long as you're able to bring everything you need with you you'll love this place. The ad says you can kayak from the backyard but no kayak is provided and there's a grass slope between the house and the water plus you have to be very aware of the tides or you can't get back! We didn't attempt it.

Wonderful in Wells Beach

We had a lovely stay at the Saltbox Cottage! The cottage was clean, well equipped, and had a great outdoor space. Mark and Kim were lovely hosts with prompt and friendly communication. It was a very easy/short walk to the beach via private access. We can't wait to come back!

Great house close to the beach

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The house had everything we needed and was the right size for our family of 4. The marsh provides beautiful views and the beach is super convenient and not too crowded. The owner was helpful and quick to respond.

Great house and great locations.

My family and I had a great vacation. The location was beautiful and less than a hundred yards to a private access way to the beach. We had beautiful sunsets at this property and Mark the owner was great. We will definitely rent again. Barbara

About the host

Hosted by Mark Foster

Why they chose this property

Perfect location. Within minutes from the beach, but also have the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge in the backyard. On a quiet dead-end street. Beautiful Sunsets and bird activity including Bald Eagles, Great Blue Herons and Snowy Egrets. Watch the tide come in and out!

We have been renting this unit since we bought the house in 1999. Every year we are making new improvements so that our renters are always comfortable and happy. For many of the weeks in the summer, we have renters who have been coming for over ten years, and we hope you too will want to always come back!!
