Cozy Beach Condo in Wells - Hot Tub & Pool!
Kathleen’s Ogunquit Airbnb is perfect! She has thought of everything you may need and more. Kathleen was responsive when needed and communicated helpful details throughout our stay. The location is fantastic and made exploring the Maine coastline very convenient. Thank you, Kathleen!!!

Dream Catcher at the beach
We really enjoyed staying at Shelli's Dream Catcher guesthouse. Access to a beautiful beach almost directly across the street, and great views of the marsh directly out of the back windows. The place was clean and well laid out. Shelli was responsive and gave us an unexpected early check-in. Sunsets and sunrises were awesome. We stayed in late October, so I believe some of the restaurants within walking distance were closed at this point. Still, it's a great location in Wells, and only a short drive from area restaurants, shopping and other locations. We would recommend Dream Catcher at the Beach!

3 BR Seaside Home/Great Neighborhood-Walk to Beach
The place is wonderful and spotless clean. Communication with the hosts was very easy. Very peaceful neighborhood and in walking distance to restaurants and the beach. We loved Wells Beach and Ogunquit!

Peaceful Coastal Retreat
Michele and her husband were absolutely amazing! So incredibly kind and their home is on a beautiful piece of property. Situated in a remote area in between York and Ogunquit it was easy to get ANYWHERE! Michele was incredibly responsive with questions, recommendations, and just about anything you could need. I would HIGHLY recommend staying with them!

Two-Bedroom Condo on the Wells/Ogunquit town-line
Christopher was a helpful host and his place was perfect! Clean, fully stocked, great location. It was close to lots of beaches and restaurants and the pool was great for the little ones

Step to Perkins Cove From The Loft in Ogunquit
Loved our stay! The airbnb is located above a restaurant, so parking in the assigned spaces can be a bit tricky if you arrive at night, but still no issues as we parked in a restaurant spot until we could move the cars later. The location is great, walkable to town and the cliff walk. The inside was more spacious than we anticipated from the photos and it was so nicely decorated! Would definitely come back! The side door was a bit tricky to lock, so I’d recommend only opening if you plan to use the little porch area with the full wall opened up.

Modern Guest House, in an 1850s building
Awesome place, very nicely furnished, bed was super comfortable (thats important when its not your own bed!) Austin and Renee were very nice people, responsive and very helpful..plus, my dog LOVED the front yard, she was so joyous when we were outside...it was a big plus for her and i to have that run around safe space for her. Will definately be back next time i come up for work!!! Awesome hosts!

Thank you for a fantastic stay and friendly, responsive hosting! We loved so much about this place, from the convenient location, to the interior design, amount of sun light, ample space, great amenities and proximity to nature. Highly recommend Nick and Kayla's Airbnb.

Beautiful, Peaceful, Maine Getaway House
Kathy’s spot was a welcome retreat tucked away from Lebanon town center. Lovely hammocks and a big backyard with lots of birds and peepers to lull you to sleep. We adored this overnight stay and were super thankful for the clear instructions and responsive host. WiFi was easy to log onto and very fast. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us, Kathy!

Modern, Family Beach House, Right on Wells Beach!
The house was bright, spacious, and in the perfect location. You could tell that George and Amanda truly care about curating a beautiful beach house and a great experience for guests.

Tranquil Pondside Retreat
Another absolutely amazing stay at the beautiful Pond House. Stunning views, incredible location. Immaculately clean. So much love and care has gone into this fantastic home. Everything you could possibly need or want is there. Andy and Emily are so kind, caring and generous. It’s such a privilege to stay here.

Immaculate Moody Beach House
Alyssa's house is amazing. We did a girls weekend to run the Maine Coast Half marathon. Our cheer team could walk right to the course (behind the house!) and we were super close (less than 5 mins) to the lot for shuttles to the start. Pristine home with a lovely set up. We could have easily fit more people there and actually hope to book this again in more summer time to enjoy the nearby beach!

Beautiful House to Relax & Enjoy the Quiet!
We had a wonderful stay. The house was very nice and all accommodations were met and exceeded. We cooked dinner in the kitchen two of the nights we were there and found everything we needed very easily. Everything was very clean and well taken care of, yet felt extremely homey and welcoming! The fire pit and outdoor bar were an amazing benefit, the whole back/front yards and patios in general were amazing. It’s safe to say we truly enjoyed our time in this home and will be checking here first next time we come! Highly recommended stay!

2BR, Sea & Relax w/ Wells Reserve View
Jordanna’s place was beautiful and cozy! Perfect for a small family or girls trip up to 3 people. Place was spotless, lots to do in the area and will close proximity to Ogunquit and Kennebunkport. Would go back anytime!

Home on Perkins Cove / Marginal Way
It was great to be back at Velia’s place. We felt right at home. The house itself is beautiful and well maintained. The location can’t be beat. We can’t wait until our next stay!

New build with hot tub in Old Orchard Beach
An absolutely charming property that is close to the beach, the boardwalk and close to shops and restaurants. The property is very well designed for function, is very appealing and had a lot of features and the amenities that we were looking. Plus, the overall style was clean and appealing. The host is amazing and I highly recommend staying at this property. I will definitely go back.

Cozy 1950’s Maine Cottage
We had a wonderful stay at MaryJo’s adorable Maine cottage! The house was clean, comfortable, and the perfect getaway. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, making it easy to cook during our stay. The cottage itself was so charming and cozy, truly capturing the Maine coast. MaryJo was a great host, and I’d highly recommend this Airbnb for anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing escape!

Happy Days at Wells Beach
We had a wonderful stay at 'Simple and Happy'. It was extremely clean and comfortable. There was nothing that we needed, everything was thought of and provided for. The decorations and ambiance was spectacular! We especially enjoyed sitting out on the back deck overlooking the marsh and watching the birds. Stephanie was an excellent host!

Spacious, Well Appointed Home Close to Beaches!
Great stay for a girls weekend, lots of room for Everyone to sleep. The bonus game room was a great second living room for afternoon tv relaxing! Backyard was great had a little fire. Walkable distance to beach and other activities.

Sandpiper
My stay at the Sandpiper was wonderful! Check in was easy and the unit was spotless and well-equipped with nice bed linens and towels. The Sandpiper is centrally located and walkable, being only an easy 0.8 of a mile from Dock Square (connected by sidewalks for the entire walk). When I had a question about the heating system, Nicole and Rob responded quickly and were very helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at the Sandpiper next time I am visiting Kennebunkport!

★"Life~at~Sea"★I mi to beach★W/D★Park★2 full baths

Harbor House Cottages Edgewater
Dan’s cottage was in a perfect and convenient location. It was private and right next to a lovely creek. Plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the outdoors. Inside the cottage was very well laid out with comfortable and clean furniture and well stocked and spotless kitchen and bathroom. Had everything we needed for our stay. The heat worked quickly and well for the cool nights. Would love to stay again when we return.

Your guide to Wells
Introduction
The third-oldest town in Maine, little Wells (established 1643) has picked up a couple of additional superlatives in its nearly 400-year history, including Friendliest Town in Maine, and the state’s Antiques Capital. Located in coastal York County, between Ogunquit and Kennebunk, Wells attracts summer tourists with its sandy beaches, perfect New England vistas, and more than 25 antique shops selling period furniture, vintage jewelry, and rare books. Even with its increased population in summer, Wells remains a more relaxed, less crowded alternative to nearby Old Orchard Beach. Between the natural attractions and the irresistible charm of small-town village life, the options are endless: Pick up fresh local blueberries at a farmers’ market; go for a summertime swim (or surf) at Wells Beach or Drake’s Island Beach; kayak the Webhannet River; or treat the family to a lobster-roll picnic lunch at Wells Harbor Park.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Wells
Summer is the high season all across Maine. Balmy days with gentle breezes and temperatures around 80 degrees Fahrenheit make a day at the beach an enticing proposition. The water is warm enough for swimming between Memorial Day and Labor Day. The fall is an especially lovely time to book one of the area’s vacation rentals, when the storied New England foliage is in full multicolored effect, and it’s still warm enough to enjoy the great outdoors, provided you pack warmer layers. By January, expect freezing temperatures, snowfall, and overnight lows averaging a frigid 12 degrees.
Top things to do in Wells
Nature preserves
Get up close and personal with the migratory birds, cottontail rabbits, and other residents of York County’s saltwater marshes at the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge and the Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve, located just across the river and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Both feature miles of nature trails that wind through wild landscapes, from rivers to forests to marshland.
Kennebunkport
Famous as the summer retreat of former presidents, this nearby town is worth exploring for its charming beaches, the 1833 Goat Island Lighthouse, and the Seashore Trolley Museum, the world’s largest mass transit museum, with its collection of historic streetcars.
Ogunquit
This neighboring town comes alive with cultural offerings in the summer: there are musicals at the local playhouse, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, and work by Maine artists on display at the local galleries and its Museum of American Art.
