Further details for this vacation house rental in Wells, Maine

Information please!: Property binder contains full list of amenities, house rules and helpful notes on where to find & how to use items, as well as local attractions, religious services, hospitals, veterinary clinics, restaurant menus, shopping, banks, movie theater, town government services, special events, Brochure basket with area maps, golf courses and driving ranges, restaurant guides, other area attractions. 'Never Moody Here' guest book journal.

Getting to the beach!: Although beautiful Moody Beach is only 0.5 miles away as the crow flies, it is about a 14 minute walk (.7 miles). Our beach carts make it easy to bring small coolers, blankets, chairs, umbrellas etc. No parking is available near public access for our beach area, which is nice in that the beach is usually uncrowded, because private property abuts either side, so please respect where posted. We have a tide clock and have provided tide tables to make it easy to determine the tide level throughout each day. Parking is available at 4 Town of Wells beach lots for a daily fee. Discounted pass books are available at town hall. Rates and directions are in the property binder. There is also parking at nearby Ogunquit Beach but the rates are very high. Another option is for one person to drive back & forth, drop off and walk back. Then again, there always is the trolley that can be boarded on Rt. 1 which goes to Ocean Ave. via Eldridge Rd. and returns via Mile Rd

Beach and yard items we provide.: We have 5 beach chairs, 2 umbrellas, 2 beach carts, a blanket, a small portable cooler, boogie boards and a few games such as paddle ball, bocce, ring toss, whiffle balls/bat and frisbees. There are also four Adirondack style lawn chairs with small tables for sitting out in the yard.

Golf: Our brochure basket has information from all nearby 9-18 hole golf courses, PAR 3, Pitch & Putt, and driving ranges.

Other Activities: National Wild Life Refuge, shopping, art galleries

>>>A GREAT GETAWAY<<<

Bob & Maryann NH, USA
Review Submitted: September 7, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Our family enjoyed every minute of our time in this lovely, pet friendly home. The expansive sunroom (windows galore) was the choice for all our meals as we looked out onto treed/ green lawn all fenced in. This home was equipped with all that a family would need including a 2nd refrigerator/freezer for extra soft drinks and other beverages. Family and friends even had the choice of a downstairs private suite, TV and a full bath. We thank the owners for making our vacation a most pleasant one.

Owner's Response: We go out of our way to make our guests' (and their pets) stay as comfortable as possible. We always welcome suggestions for improving upon that goal. Recognition of these efforts is a reward in itself, not to mention the marketing value!

Paradise Found

Big John W London England
Review Submitted: June 16, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We have just returned to England after a wonderful week in this very well presented family home. It has been so much fun to stay in this area of Maine, and we have totally fallen in love with this part of the world. Tom & Kate did a first rate job in all communication and we just had to turn up and enjoy our stay. This home is everything you would expect from a Maine property but with so much more? This house is clean, and has all the facilities needed to do anything you may wish while away from your own home. If you are looking for a great place to stay in Maine then this is it! We look forward to being able to stay in this property again sometime soon. Carolynne & John, Lorraine & Chris. London England

Owner's Response: There is nothing more rewarding and energizing than to have a guest still excited about their stay with us a week later! We work very hard to provide the comfort and convenience that make time spent at "Never Moody Here" a most memorable vacation.

Just right!

Review Submitted: May 18, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
This house was just right for our stay in Maine--convenient location, size and amenities just as described, and property well-maintained. Tom and Kate seem to have thought of everything! Their friendly, helpful service made our stay great, and it was so convenient to be able to take the dog.
