LOCATION: The house is located 3 blocks south of Mile Road on a dead-end street in a quiet friendly neighborhood - walk just one block (1 min walk) to the beach access on Rachel Carson Lane. Also within walking distance is Wells Beach Center with shopping, arcade, playground, trolley stop (not currently running), restaurant and ice cream. The Hannaford Grocery Store, ATM/Bank, Movie Theatre, Liquor Store and a Laundromat are within about 1 mile from the house. The Wells Commuter Rail Station (to Boston or Portland, ME) and the I-95 exit Rt 109, is about 2 miles.

ITEMS PROVIDED: The new Kitchen has a dishwasher, electric range, microwave, full size refrigerator with ice maker, dishes, silverware, pots & pans, utensils, gas grill utensils, automatic drip coffee maker with filters, new toaster, blender, tea kettle, trash bags, dishwasher pods, liquid dish soap, a new dish sponge, a few necessities such as oil, Salt & Pepper and hand soap at kitchen and bathroom sinks. Right outside your kitchen door is your gas grill and there is also a foot wash area to clean up after the beach. There is wireless internet, a hair dryer, a flat screen TV, YouTube for LIVE TV, and a Chromecast for casting from your own device if desired. Each bed has zippered mattress protectors (2 queen beds, 2 twin beds) and there are 12 pillows for your use. A Large Drying Rack is provided for wet bathing suits and towels. There is no Washer/Dryer in this house, however, there is a laundromat about 1 mile away.

PLEASE BRING (or arrange to rent) your linens and bedding, including blanket, mattress pad (recommended), sheets, pillow cases, bath towels, bath shower mat, hand towels, wash cloths, kitchen towels. If you prefer to rent these linens instead of bringing your own, I recommend Cottage Linens. Go to www.cottagelinens.com and select what you need and they will deliver on the day you checkin and then pick up the used linens on the day you check out. I am not affiliated with this company in any way, but they provide a nice service for many guests in the area. Also bring your toiletries, bath soap, toilet paper, paper towels, spices for cooking, napkins, beach towels, beach chairs, cooler, beach toys, etc.

PARKING: The property has Parking for 2 Cars, tandem (one behind the other). If you need additional parking, you can arrange it in advance with the owner of a private parking lot only 2 houses away. Additional information will be provided with your booking confirmation.
Parking is not allowed on any streets in this area of Wells.
The town parking lots at the beach end of mile road (next to the playground, and at the beachfront) have pay stations for the day. They don’t allow overnight parking.

BEACH INFORMATION
Our Beach has a sea wall and the Public Accesses have stairs to go down onto the beach. Along this section of Wells Beach, the water comes all the way up to the sea wall at high tide so you will lose the beach for about 1 to 1.5 hours on each side of high tide, depending on how high the tide is that day. Conversely, during low tide, there is a nice large flat, uncrowded beach of packed sand to play games and take long walks. The Jetty is a little over a mile and a wonderful walk. The low tide also leaves many tidal pools that are great fun for the kids to explore sea creatures or play in the water that is warmed by the sun. We (the hosts) live in this neighborhood and never mind planning our beach time around the tides, however, if you want to go to the beach at high tide, you can easily walk 7 minutes across Mile Road to Atlantic Ave Public Access #1 where there is beach during all tides. If you are already on our beach, you could choose to walk along the beach rather than going up to the street for an even easier 5 minute walk.

About the host

Hosted by Calla Baxter

Host profile image
We have enjoyed this Wells Beach neighborhood since 1996 when we started vacationing here with our family and friends. In 2002 we bought a summer cottage in this neighborhood, and in 2018 we moved from Massachusetts into our summer cottage (after a few updates for year round living) and became Maine residents. We love living here and think guests who stay in our rental next door will also love the area.

Why they chose this property

Walking to the beach is so convenient. It's an easy walk back and forth from the beach to the house for snacks, lunch, children's naps, sun breaks, to use your own bathroom, etc. Each person in your house can go to the beach when they want; you don't have to consolidate everyone into one car trip to the beach and hassle with parking availability and cost. The neighborhood is quiet and family friendly with nice residents and rental guests. It is not a "party neighborhood", but it is festive during the day and early evening when everyone is out at the beach and in their yards. There are many dead-end streets, including ours, which is especially nice.

What makes this property unique

This property is unique because you can walk to the beach and you can view the ocean and the marsh from the deck and living areas. This house was new construction in 2021. With a 1st floor Queen Bedroom and 1st floor Bathroom this house is great for multi-generational families. The neighborhood is welcoming. There is easy access to a grocery store and other conveniences without using Route 1.
