the property was clean and neat and Cheryl was very accommodating My entire family was please.

My only comment is the steps in the house because it is older are very steep and older people need to take that into account. There is a first floor bedroom that they can use however.

Awesome experience

Cheryl is an amazing host. The property was clean and stocked with more than what we hoped for. Appliances were top notch. How many others traveling with 8 kids ages 6-0 can say that? Property had plenty of everything including ice.

Maine House

Overall, the house was spacious enough and clean. The first level basement rooms were a bit claustrophobic. It was listed that there was a pool table, which we were looking forward to, but there wasn’t one. We also didn’t know about an 11PM curfew for the upper deck until we got there; with lots of teenaged/college-aged kids wanting to celebrate summer vacation, they had a hard time abiding by that. For over 13k for week, we will probably go with a different location next year.

Group getaway

We rented this beach house for a long weekend with a group of 5 families. The house was spacious, well equipped and comfortable. The location is perfect... easy walk to the beach and shops. Cheryl is amazing to work with. She is responsive and accommodating. We had so much fun on the beach, playing games, sitting around the fire pit and even squeezed in a lobster bake. I highly recommend this property to any group!

Perfect for Girls' Weekend

We loved our stay in Wells! We especially appreciated the cleanliness of the property, the quality of the appliances (including an ice maker that kept up with us!), the rooftop firepit and lounge, and the location. It was an easy walk to the beautiful beach. Highly recommended for large groups!

First and foremost Cheryl the owner is a true pleasure to work with!! Extremely great host - Thanks Cheryl - you truly made our week a very enjoyable one!! We had a total of 20 in our party and we never ran out of space. I joked that you needed bread crumbs to find your way around. The house was definitely large enough for all to enjoy their space, without any sense of crowding. The house is well equipped -and plenty of nice quality towels, unlike the ones you struggle through with at a hotel! The fact that it was so close to the beach made it easy to come and go as one pleased. The rooftop on the apartment was Meme and Papa's haven after a long fun day at the beach with our grandchildren. I would definitely recommend the house and more importantly Cheryl to all! Thanks again, Cyndi

Great for large groups - any time of year!

7 adult couples (14 total) had plenty of space to enjoy this great house - and no one got stuck with a bunk bed!. One of the key features that is not given enough attention is the roof deck - a great spot for evening fun. A well stocked kitchen, great porch, and plenty of ammenities make this one of the better rental houses I have stayed in. The ladies had great shopping close by, the boys had golf...then an afternoon on the beach was a near perfect day, with GREAT weather in late September. Cheryl is as easy an owner to work with as you can get, and can offer up some great local recommendations. (Hint: do Mike's Clam Shack for a Clam Bake/Lobster bake. Inexpensive, and they cook everything for you...all you have to do is clean up!)

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl J. Austin

Host profile image
Cheryl J. Austin. Owner and Manager. 38 Ledge Lane, LLC.
Prior to becoming the owner of this property, two couples owned the house. I was their babysitter from time to time. I fell in love with the charm of house and was so sad when they decided that it was time to sell. With only $2000.00 to my name, we were able to work out an owner financing agreement. I worked two steady jobs, plus renting to make ends meet. I was 27 years old at the time. I am now 58.

My family and I have created many happy memories from spending time in this house over the years. Everyone has their own special room and we love that we can all spread out, yet congregate as one during meal times.

Why they chose this property

This house has so much charm, character, and Wells history. It is one of the largest homes available to rent at Wells Beach. Through the years, I have maintained, renovated, and updated every season. I take great pride in putting as much money back into the property as possible. It is with great pleasure that I provide high quality beds, bedding, appliances, furniture, and all other necessities. My goal is to make you, my guest, as comfortable and welcomed as possible.

What makes this property unique

This house has so many unique benefits!! Number one being its size and able to accommodate large numbers comfortably. Three Kitchens!! I am not aware of any other house at Wells Beach that has such a benefit!! The Porch!! One of the most popular feedbacks that I get is how much people enjoy the porch. Whether it be early morning coffee, late afternoon reading, or evening drinks. The Third Floor Sun Deck offers views like no other. One of the highest points at Wells Beach!

This house is also very clean and well kept. My standards are very high and I aim to provide as best as possible.
