Dog-friendly cottage with amazing sunset views, across the street from beach

The Eastern Avenue Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

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. Come home at lunchtime to prepare a New England clambake on the charcoal grill while the free WiFi streams some tunes. 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!

Insanely Overpriced
Nice view and clean, but that’s about it. Biggest regret of our trip. We spent so much per night and then double with the fees for 2 nights off season - feel like we got ripped off! We’re OK with rustic, but the tiny shower stall had a corner view into the kitchen, the bathroom sink was the size for a small RV, and the kitchen has nothing redeemable except a nice coffee maker. Plus there’s a 4 story monstrosity being built next door - just 30 feet away. Luckily, there was a break in construction while we were there. This place is NOT worth the price they charge!! Beware of fees besides the nightly price.

Don't rent on the full moon
We loved this little cottage and it was in a very beautiful location until the tide came in and totally surrounded the cottage in the middle of the night. We evacuated the cottage and called the vacasa representative in Oregon and we're told someone would call us as soon as possible we didn't hear from anybody for an hour we didn't know what to do we sat in our car away from the cottage with pillows and blankets and waited till the tide went out we did get a call and we're informed that this is something we should expect from a coastal rental I ended up going back in after the tide receipted it happened again the next night I think we should have been warned about this I think there should be a note at the cottage letting people know that this happens we found out later at many of the full moons

A Maine marsh-side delight
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
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.

Beach, views and coziness
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!

Location is the highlight of the cottage
Lovely, cozy cottage right on the marsh, very close to beach public access. Nice and clean. Only drawback is the shower in the bathroom. The shower walls do not go all the way up to the ceiling, leaving approx 8” gap so the Bath is basically open air to the kitchen. Not very private. Suggest only for a couple. Could use a refresh for living room furniture. But gorgeous views and clean. Also, no air or heat in the bedrooms. Just one unit in the dining area.
