Family Beach Retreat

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

You'll be within easy walking distance of beautiful Ogunquit Beach when you escape to this home in Wells, beautifully positioned on the edge of a tidal river and serene coastal marshland. It's the best of all worlds here - the ocean beach right down the road and spectacular riverfront sunsets to welcome you home.

Uniquely outfitted for a large group or an extended family, this home is spread out across three levels of living space. The main living area is on the middle floor, where you'll find gorgeous views of the neighboring river and wetlands. The living room has plush sofas, the adjacent dining table has seating for six, and the breakfast bar accommodates five more. The open kitchen offers ample cabinet and prep space, as well as every essential appliance at mealtime.

You can spend your mornings taking out one of the provided kayaks or savoring a mug of coffee on one of the two decks - one on the main floor overlooking the marsh and the other upstairs with a view of the ocean. There's also a gas grill, al fresco seating on the deck, and a washer/dryer to welcome you home from the beach each afternoon. At night, you can gather for a Netflix movie in either the TV room upstairs (with a minifridge to store your cold drinks) or the den downstairs (with a full-size refrigerator), or retire to the home office to return emails over the high-speed WiFi.

When it's time to turn in, you'll find four bedrooms on the main floor - three of which include an en suite bathroom. The other two bedrooms are downstairs.

Great house to enjoy nature!
This house is perfect for enjoying the beauty of the ocean and marshes. The kitchen deck looks on to a beautiful marsh. The ocean is a mere 2 minute walk and Moody Beach is spectacular! The kitchen is well stocked, the beds are really comfortable and there is lots of room to spread out and relax. Just a wonderful place to unwind with family and friends.

Christmas by the Sea
Our group of 7 women traveled to the area for Christmas by the Sea. This house was perfect for our needs. It had plenty of space, a well-stocked kitchen and incredible views. We could walk to the beach in a couple of minutes. The house has multiple gathering areas, making it an excellent choice for families or groups of friends. We hope to return in the future!

Great place… if you have a car
The house was great, beautiful views, lots of amenities and room. The beach was just steps away, clean and not very crowded (at least in the latter part of June). Just make sure you have your own transportation! We were not aware of this. We arrived by train on Father’s Day and had to walk three miles with our luggage to the house. There was a bus from the train station but it only went to Hanneford plaza, which was about 3 miles from the house. There were no taxis or Uber/Lyft that would come drive us. The nearest car rental places were in New Hampshire or Portland, ME and they didn’t have vehicles available. Apparently there used to be a trolley but they can’t find drivers to do the route.

January Getaway
This home was just perfect for 4 couples or more. The home was well equipped with everything that we needed. We especially liked the kitchen area where we could cook, enjoy socializing, play cards and enjoy the view. Although we could not use the deck due to the weather, it would have been perfect in the warmer months. Parking was spacious and check in easy. This home will be one that we visit again!

Great home, fantastic location!
Had a fabulous 5 day stay!! The amenities the house had was far beyond what was expected! More than enough space for 12 people, abundance of kitchenware, sheets, pillows and extra blankets! No need to pack anything for the beach, as there was about 15 beach chairs, toys umbrellas, kites, tubes and much more!

moody beach vacation
it's a beautiful property nestled between the main beach and the river. you truly have the best of both worlds. if you are looking for outdoor activity you can paddle the river, or you can sit and plunk your a... in the sand and marvel at the atlantic. This is a home set up to entertain large groups, but also offers each guest/couple/family their own a well appointed private area. We had 12 adults at one point staying over and no one felt cramped. The space was immaculate, and well appointed. We spent long hours sitting on the back deck enjoying the river view with plenty of waterfowl. Taking food off the grill directly into the kitchen and prep area was perfect. For those with orthopedic issues, the ground floor level offers it's own entertainment and kitchen area, with a short flight of stairs up the the main level. Having an upper level with a balcony was great for the night owls, and having a small kitchen there spared going up and down for drinks and snacks.
