About this property

STUNNING BEACHFRONT HOME:AMAZING OCEAN VIEWS-BEACH ACCESS: FRONT ROW BEACH!

Our home is right on Wells beach. Wake up every morning with a 180 degree ocean view from your ocean facing deck and living room. This home is the ultimate in beach convenience. Wake up to sunrises over the ocean and enjoy family fun on the deck as you watch the sun set. Well stocked kitchen with all the utensils allows for eating in and the central location of this home allows for quick access to all the great local restaurants. Wells is getting more and more popular each summer. The number of homes that offer this degree of beach access and ocean views is shrinking every year as owners convert rental homes to private homes. Treat yourself to the ultimate Wells beach experience - Stay right on the beach!! Within our recently updated circa 1924 home, this 3 bedroom unit is adjoined by a 2 bedroom unit (VRBO #2279562) on the opposite side of the home. If you are looking to vacation with family/friends this setup provides for both close proximity and privacy. You only live once, why not treat yourself to one of the best locations Wells Beach has to offer! Enjoy the panoramic ocean sunrise with your coffee!! (All stays contingent on receipt of signed rental agreement)

Amazing Veterans Day weekend

We enjoyed the great location, loving the deck enjoying the sunshine and promptness of property owner when we had questions. I hope this is not the last time we stay at this property!

We had a wonderful time. Perfect beach house, step out to the sand and surf. Close to stores and restaurants. We didn't want to leave! But, we had to get back to the real world. Host was great!

Wells Beach Getaway

The house was as advertised. Steps from the beach. The sunrises and moon rises were spectacular. There were four of us and plenty of room for us to not trip over each other. It was a wonderful weekend retreat.

Great place!

Every September, we've been staying at Wells Beach for over 10 years. We always stayed at one certain place but it was sold a few years ago so we have been staying at different places. This one is a charm! Roomy and come on! Right on the beach. It was comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook meals there. The host was quick to respond to any questions. It was fairly clean but let's face it, with a beach place you will have sand. The places I care about such as bathroom, kitchen and bedrooms were all very clean.There is a nice grill, a private deck, and a common area to share with neighbors. we didn't use that area but it's nice. All in all we were very pleased and I believe this will be our go-to place to stay in lovely Wells! All the bedrooms are upstairs but there are pull-out couches if you have an issue with stairs.

Beautiful Sunrise Location on the Ocean

Property was very nice, the view is the draw. If you have an aging person in your group, be aware there are a lot of steps up to the property by the street and then again, more up to bedrooms. Kitchen and rooms were spacious and we really enjoyed (and needed for noise deflection) the multiple electric fans in the house. As listing mentions, this is a shared property, separated by room door upstairs. We were paired with a family that had young children, one with special needs. No issues with the family but there were MANY slamming door (over 25 repeated slammings at a time) and screaming sessions that started to dampen our stay. We reached out to the host regarding the noise disturbances, which were so loud they sounded like they were in our living space. Instead of stepping forward and resolving when contacted, the host put it on us to decide if the other family should be contacted regarding the noise. Contact was made by the host and the noise disturbance did thankfully subside. The house is relatively clean but do NOT look under the beds (trash, dust, gum, etc). There was a washer and dryer issue (also shared) but the host responded and resolved quickly. We were traveling for 2 weeks, most people traveling for that period do not want to pack or buy towels and sheets for their stay. Many locations provide these items (our Maine rental location before this one did) and if I was to recommend a change, it would be too provide at no extra charge. Contract for this location is drawn up like a major extended legal document which is a turn-off to most honest people. Assumption is that the host had some issues in the past and the extra, lengthy documents are required. Overall, we mostly enjoyed our stay at this location. Host was excellent at responding to concerns/communication.

Stunning view!

Everything was wonderful. It was a relaxing weekend away. Pictures are very accurate. The only thing that would have made it even better would have been a fire pit (not there is a lot of room for one) and a big lobster pot. 4 adults and 2 kids fit comfortably. All in all it was wonderful! We will definitely stay again!

Celebrating our 50th anniversary.

We love Wells beach but were a bit disappointed that so many people, including several very young children were in the adjoining part of the house. We love children, but the loud “kid noises” were rather obnoxious especially late at night and very early mornings. We never used the laundry facilities or the water toys. We would hope to have “ neighbors” who follow the rules next time.

My 4 friends and I spent an amazing 4 days in this oceanside, Vrbo rental. The weather was perfect, as was the location. We spent most of our time simply visiting on the deck, enjoying the ocean sights and sounds. It's not a fancy rental, but it is homey. I highly recommend it.

Great summer getaway!

Our family of five loved spending a week right on the ocean. The property is as advertised. When we weren’t on the beach, we enjoyed opening up the large sliding glass door (with screen) that leads out to the deck and letting the ocean breeze blow through the living room area. The property is walkable to Wells Beach shops and a few restaurants. A great summer vacation spot!

Perfect location

We enjoyed our stay in Wells Beach. There is so much within proximity of the house that makes the location perfect. It's a short drive into both Kennebunkport and Ogunquit but there is a lot to do right there in Wells as well. The beach access from the house is perfect and really great for young kids.

My family of 4 and I enjoyed our stay. It was very comfortable and accommodating. It was nice going to sleep and waking up to the beach sounds every day. Everything we enjoyed was walking distance, and very accessible, especially a local family-friendly restaurant, Forbes walking distance five minutes away. We would definitely come back and recommend this property to our family and friends.

Incredible property

Absolutely beautiful property with incredible views of the ocean. We celebrated my husbands birthday with our family and there could not have been a better place to relax and enjoy family time. The home was exactly as described. Extremely well cared for by owner. Short walk to town square to find shopping and food. Plenty of room for four adults and a toddler! Plenty to do but we chose to enjoy the incredible serenity of the waves from the large porch. Already looking to book for next year.

Great cottage vibe and pristine location

We had a great long weekend at 131 Atlantic Ave in the South cottage. The space was so warm and welcoming. The original features preserved in this 100 year old beach house added to the experience. Upgrades and renovations have occurred as needed in a way that preserved the character and feel of the home. I look forward to returning again in the future!

About the host

Hosted by David Gamblin

Host profile image
My family and I have been vacationing at Wells Beach for the last 15-20 years. We do enjoy the family atmosphere at this beach. Before purchasing 131 Atlantic, we stayed at all the motels and hotels along Rte 1. The daily vacation drama of will we find a parking spot by the beach and packing up the car and being careful not to forget anything as we'd have to drive back to get it - (and risk losing our parking spot) was not really fun. We started staying right by the beach and our stress levels decreased dramatically. Everything about Wells in the summer is fun (see Congdon's Doughnuts, Billy's Chowder House, Mikes Clam Shack, The Steak House and even Dairy Queen). We take a lot of pride in our home and constantly look to upgrade.

Why they chose this property

If you want the positively best Wells Beach experience, then stay right on the beach. This home is the ultimate in convenience and experience. You can watch the tide come in and go out from the deck or living room. Watching the sunrise and sunset over the ocean from your comfortable chair on your deck is absolutely therapeutic. This home is also strategically located between Public Way #2 and Public Way #3. The distance from both can decrease the potential for crowds that is sometimes seen right at the exit of a Public Way. The location of this home is absolutely amazing.

What makes this property unique

Beachfront - Right there - 180 degree ocean views - People watching from your deck - Large windows looking out over the Atlantic Ocean everyday.
