There are metered day-lots nearby and overnight parking is available at the Wells Train station across from Exit 19 off Rt 95.

Wonderful!

Great home, great location, great views from all the decks, and all in one package! The home was very clean, and the kitchen was well equipped with plenty of amenities. We had a 2-minute walk to the beach and a 10–15-minute walk to the center of town. The home is very convenient to Wells (of course), Ogunquit and Kennebunk. Plenty of dining and things to do with the kids. As others have commented, the only thing is the parking. You can only fit, at best, 2 SUV's so folks might want to plan ahead if additional parking is needed. Both Aaron and Renee were great hosts and available if needed. We definitely recommend this home, and we will rent again!

Beautiful Views

Sit back and relax with a glass of rosé on one of the many decks and take in the beautiful views!! My family and I enjoyed a week long stay at this gorgeous home. Directly across the beach, we were able to walk across the street and enjoy some beach days. The home is also very close to Kennebunkport for a fun day of shopping and is also close to Ogunquit for some night life. A five star stay!

Weekend in Wells

Absolutely beautiful house right on the water, incredibly clean and exactly as the pictures show. It is a perfect layout for multiple people/couples, plenty of space and beds. The multiple decks on the house with different views allowed us to spend plenty of time outside without even having to leave the house. The house has everything you could possibly need and more and Renee was so helpful/thoughtful our entire stay. Can’t recommend this rental enough!

A little slice of heaven

My husband and two kids had a wonderful stay. House is beautiful and location is everything. We enjoyed several of the decks for sunsets and sunrises. We especially loved front deck for people watching, sunrises, and listening to waves. A one minute walk to gorgeous Wells beach. I imagine this neighborhood is bumping in season, but was quiet and relaxing in April. Highly recommend.

Amazing sunset, peace, nature

The property is relatively new, meticulously maintained. Light and bright. Wonderful clean and soft linens. We have stayed here for 3 or 4 consecutive years. Hosts are terrific, responsive and very organized. I usually come home and implement some of their ideas in my own home. I always find that i need more time to leave beyond 10 AM....maybe i'm just disorganized.

Please use insurance

Great location near public way to the beach. You probably will not enjoy the river as it is pretty far out and muddy to get there (forget the picture with the kayaks). We strongly suggest you take the insurance option, we were charged an extra 200$ on top of the 300$ cleaning fee(TOTAL 500$!!!) because we left our garbage in our rooms bine while the large bine outside was full and we did not want any animals to make a mess, thus we had a spill in the stair (leaking garbage bags). I guess some people try to make money any way they can. But great place overall

Wonderful stay!

We loved everything about our stay here! The girls loved the house, as did we, and it was just what we needed for a week of relaxing. Everything is so close to this house, 10 mins to Kennebunkport, 30 mins to Portland, and a little less than 1 hour and 45 mins back to Boston to see our family. The hosts were very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. We would come back for sure!

Beautiful Fall Getaway

After spending a few days up in Acadia National Park, we chose to venture down to Wells and spend a few days on the beach. This place did not disappoint! With a less than 1 minute walk, we were on a beautiful beach and returned to a comfortable, well-appointed home.

Beautiful house and location

This lovely house was perfect for our family vacation. The kitchen was very well equipped as well the rest of the house. Lovely quiet setting on the Webhannet River and a very short walk to the clean, sandy beach. Sit on the decks and watch the sunset after a day on the beach, or watch the birds fish in the morning. My favorite spot to sit with a glass of wine and a book was the deck on the 2nd floor. Just lovely!! I think the only thing is the parking. You can only fit 2 SUV's. Maybe not an issue for most, but our group was all adults coming in separate cars. We parked the extra cars at the park and ride and it was fine. Definitley recommend and would love to rent again.

The property is amazing to stay at. Every touch of design in the house is amazing, and as a guest staying there they leave nothing out of the question. Very close to everything in the Wells area, and easy to get to. Great proximity & access to the beach. Property will make you want to stay in the house and enjoy the night views/sunsets. Definitely a place you would want to stay at again and again.

About the host

Hosted by Aaron and Renee Mercier

Host profile image
We're working parents living in the NH seacoast area. We were married in Kennebunkport and have enjoyed countless summers in Wells.

Why they chose this property

It's western facing and direct waterfront. It's directly on the river so it offers direct access when you want to kayak, boat, fish or jump off the sandbars in the river (like our kids do). You're treated to wide views of unobstructed sunsets with ever-changing views over the marsh as tides come in and out. It's very peaceful when you want a break from the ocean yet beach access is mere steps away. It's quick and painless to run back and forth from the house to the beach. For us, truly the best of both worlds!

What makes this property unique

Wells Beach is very family-friendly with a wide open sandy beach that goes out forever at low tide. In addition to the beach you have lots of open spaces to explore- the jetties, the harbor, the marsh. It's away from hustle and bustle yet super convenient to groceries, restaurants, and lots of shops. It's unplugged time to reconnect with family and friends. Or time to just be alone with the views!
