We had a great stay here. The home was clean and comfortable. The beds were comfortable as well. Everyone slept well. We've been coming up to Wells Beach for years staying at Marlin court, the oxcart and The Bellevue by the sea, so we felt right at home and also remembered all the good times from the past.. Thanks for the great weekend and hopefully we can stay here again in the future.
The location and size of the house was terrific. The reason for only four stars for overall rating and cleanliness is due to mold in the shower and musty smell in one of the bedrooms which made it not usable. Some of our family are allergic to mold and could not stay overnight. Originally we planned for 8, but only 5 could stay. We ended up having to find 2 hotel rooms. We would consider renting again if the mold and mustiness can be eliminated.
Ideal location, short walk across Atlantic Ave to public way 1 entrance to beach and to village shops, a few restaurants, and arcade. Home was quirky as it obviously has been added onto over the years, but very clean and kitchen and bathroom have been recently updated. Family members each felt like they had their own space and privacy. Great to have laundry during our stay as well. TV was a little hard to figure out and we had to download an app because the remotes wouldnât work, but that was a small hiccup in a great stay. Our kids age 1-5 all loved it and weâd love to stay again someday!
My family has been coming to Wells Beach for decades and found this cottage to be a good option for our recent week during peak season. There were five of us--all adults. To help make this unique property even better for future renters, here is a summary of pros and a few challenges--most of which can be remedied:
Pros: lots of room for people to spread out and have their own space when needed; big spacious kitchen and recently remodeled bathrooms; full-size washer and dryer; large deck; large yard and ample parking; absolutely no musty-ness; nice new pine panel boards in several rooms; bright and airy in most rooms
Challenges: no dishwasher; grill was in poor shape; some deck furniture cracked and no patio table for eating outdoors; could use some easy upgrades such as reading lamps in bedrooms and hooks for towels and clothes in bedrooms; some furniture needs replacement; only one key provided (lockbox was hard to use for my older parents)
Thank you to Joel and fellow owners--it's clear to see that you're committed to your special property at beautiful Wells Beach!
Close walk to the beach, plenty of room to spread out . Nice modern kitchen.
Loved having 2 bathrooms. Loved having a washer & dryer. Loved the hammock & out door shower.
Would love to go back
