All is Wells – Incredible Location! Walk to Beach
The condo was very comfortable, convenient to everything at Wells Beach and just what we wanted for a little get-away! Kitchen was fully stocked; so much nicer than staying in a motel room! We SO appreciated having cable on one of the TV's so we could get local news.

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
Are you kidding me??? This is the best AirBnB I’ve ever stayed in. The place is beautiful, the location is better and Michele is the kindest. You can’t go wrong here. Perfect location between York and Ogunquit and it’s tucked away quietly when you need to rest. Absolutely will be back.

Deja Blue~Guest Beach House
Peaceful stay at a beautiful and serene location. Michelle was a wonderful host! The Airbnb was filled with treasures that made our stay charming, peaceful and restful. Highly recommend!!!

Ocean Views!Walk2Beach|ChefsKitchen|Deck|BeachGear
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.

Starfish Condo Wells Beach
This was a great find and enjoyed our 3 week there - We got to meet a few neighbors, and they were very nice as well - Very close to restaurants and Wells Beach - WIFI worked great as I work from home and the tip about leaving the second car at the Wells Transportation Center helped a lot ! Danielle was great with communication and rules - We would stay here again

Cottage in Wells Maine
We had a wonderful stay here and highly recommend it! The location is great, as it’s close to plenty of restaurants and stores. We were even able to walk to get breakfast and dinner. The space itself was much larger than we expected and very clean. The kitchen had everything we needed and we even had snacks, waters, and coffee left for us! The highlight for my 2 year old was the pirate ship playground. We also loved having access to picnic tables. We got takeout and enjoyed eating outdoors. We did not use the outside grill but that is a great addition and we would have used if we stayed longer. The host was very helpful and accommodating. They offered early check in and check out and gave very clear instructions on how to get in. I would not hesitate to return in the future!

Cozy Cabin with hot tub, walk to beach, rock cove
My husband and I had a relaxing weekend at Lydia’s cabin to celebrate our anniversary. Although the weather was less than ideal, we had a great stay. The hot tub was wonderful. Lots to do nearby- nice restaurants and shopping.

Beautiful House 2.5 Miles from Ogunquit Beach
This is a great place to stay just outside of Ogunquit its only 7 mins down the road. All the comforts of home and amenities. We would stay here again. it's also centrally located enough to do ALOT we went as far south as Boston and as far north as Acadia national park and as far west as white mountain national forest.

Modern, Family Beach House, Right on Wells Beach!
Weekend Getaway - We had a wonderful fall weekend at the house. Great location, great hosts and beautiful accommodations. House was clean and modern.

A water view slice of heaven at Pepperrell Cove
Beautiful home with water views, amazing location to walk or drive into Portsmouth or the outlets in Kittery.

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!

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!

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!

★"Life~at~Sea"★I mi to beach★W/D★Park★2 full baths
Place was beautiful and clean. We enjoyed the fire pit and the great living space. Bedrooms were comfortable. Great place for families.

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.

The Gatehouse-Kennebunk Cape near Beach and K'port
We loved our stay at Peter’s place! The hosts were very communicative, the beds were comfortable, and the location was great. It’s in a quiet, peaceful setting, but is a 5 minute drive to amazing shops and restaurants. We loved our experience.

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!

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!

Fun and Convenient! Space for 10+
We had a great time here! Stephen was super responsive and flexible and the place was perfect for our big group. Everything was very clean and had great additions like the games and outdoor furniture. Couldn’t recommend enough!!

1 summer week opened- Steps to the beach in Wells!
Nice small cottage that’s also pet friendly just steps from the beach in Wells

Bring the Kids + Dog • Firepit • Beach Close
We so enjoyed our stay at the Serenity By the Sea! The house was so clean and well equipped. It was perfect for our family Memorial Day weekend getaway! We would love to rent your home again someday! We had a lot of fun with our grandchildren. Karen and John

Just Like Home Wells Beach House!
Nice place, well stocked with items that are needed, good location in heart of Wells, ME

The Salt Box | Water Views & Cozy Fire Pit
We had a great time here! The cottage was spotless and cozy, Gina was super helpful and responsive, and everything we could have needed was already there. She even left tons of hot cocoa and s'mores materials out for us. Every detail was pretty, from bedding and decorations to plates and bowls. And the view was incredible - we couldn't stop staring out the window, watching the tides go in and out on the marsh. Everything we wanted and more.

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.
