NOTE RE PARKING: Please take note that the property accommodates 2-3 cars parked in tandem along a 10' wide corridor between a fence and the house. This means it'll be tight getting in/out of your car. It is not a good rental for those with trouble parking in tight spaces, those looking to host a crowd with guests in and out, or those with large, over-sized vehicles. There are metered day-lots nearby and overnight parking is available at the Wells Train station across from Exit 19 off Rt 95.

A little slice of heaven
My husband and two kids had a wonderful stay. House is beautiful and location is everything. We enjoyed several of the decks for sunsets and sunrises. We especially loved front deck for people watching, sunrises, and listening to waves. A one minute walk to gorgeous Wells beach. I imagine this neighborhood is bumping in season, but was quiet and relaxing in April. Highly recommend.

Amazing sunset, peace, nature
The property is relatively new, meticulously maintained. Light and bright. Wonderful clean and soft linens. We have stayed here for 3 or 4 consecutive years. Hosts are terrific, responsive and very organized. I usually come home and implement some of their ideas in my own home. I always find that i need more time to leave beyond 10 AM....maybe i'm just disorganized.

About the host

Hosted by Aaron and Renee Mercier

Host profile image
We're working parents living in the NH seacoast area. We were married in Kennebunkport and have enjoyed countless summers in Wells.

Why they chose this property

It's western facing and direct waterfront. It's directly on the river so it offers direct access when you want to kayak, boat, fish or jump off the sandbars in the river (like our kids do). You're treated to wide views of unobstructed sunsets with ever-changing views over the marsh as tides come in and out. It's very peaceful when you want a break from the ocean yet beach access is mere steps away. It's quick and painless to run back and forth from the house to the beach. For us, truly the best of both worlds!

What makes this property unique

Wells Beach is very family-friendly with a wide open sandy beach that goes out forever at low tide. In addition to the beach you have lots of open spaces to explore- the jetties, the harbor, the marsh. It's away from hustle and bustle yet super convenient to groceries, restaurants, and lots of shops. It's unplugged time to reconnect with family and friends. Or time to just be alone with the views!
