Buoy Beach House

A great property. Plenty of room for all of us. The cottage is well equipped with everything you need for the cottage and the beach. The beach is seconds away from the cottage which is a real bonus

Beautiful Beach Getaway

The Buoy Beach House was fantastic for our party of 7! There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have downtime or for us all to congregate on the main level and cook together. We had 5 adults and 2 children, and the space was accommodating for all of us. The location relative to the beach was outstanding. The public way was directly across from the property. This was HUGE for us because we often had to walk back and forth with the kids and their needs. Todd was an incredibly gracious host and really responsive to any requests. He followed up after our first night to make sure everything was up-to-par. The overall experience was top notch and we would definitely stay here again!

Dirty house

We had to clean the house prior to unpacking. When you find dirty bucket, fridge food stuck to the table dirty toilets then it’s bad. Location is great but a cleaning fee and not refunded leaves a sour taste.

Great location and dog friendly!

Loved the location of this house! Just steps from Wells Beach. It was also wonderful to be able to bring our dog with us. I rated the cleanliness lower because the lower level was not as clean as the rest of the house. Also the stairs to the upper and lower levels are not easily accessible for older guests. We sill enjoyed our stay.

Amazing!

This house was perfect and would definitely stay there again. The location could not have been better. The layout at first seemed a little awkward, but actually worked out perfect for my family of 7 including grandparents and teenage boys. It is a true beach house. The owner was awesome and very responsive to any questions I had.

Great beach spot!

Across the street from the beach access, the location couldn’t be better! Stairs are a little tough for older folks, as one is a narrow set and the other is a small spiral staircase. It wasn’t too much of an issue for us, would happily stay again!

Great location

Awesome location, close to a beautiful beach. House is in the midst of a transition, so is in various stages of upgrades. Only issue for us (due to having young kids) was that the only interior access to the basement was on a small circular staircase. Todd was a very responsive and helpful owner, and helped quickly work through a small logistical issue we had.

Buoy House is a Gem!

The Buoy house is a perfect location in Wells ! We have been going to Wells for years but this was our first stay at the Buoy House - the house is large - plenty of room for everyone. I loved that there were three bathrooms and three floors - it really gives everyone a chance to have some space - the reading room and sitting room downstairs plus the living room on the main floor gives everyone a space to relax in. The table is large enough for everyone which is very helpful when you vacation with so many and you can see the ocean while you sit at it - doesn’t get much better than that! The back deck is gorgeous and we spent many night post beach out enjoying the deck. The beds were comfortable - something that matters a lot for us on vacation. We have a three year old and having a location so close to the beach and public way was ideal for the back and forth to the bathroom and for lunch and nap - the kitchen had a lot of storage which is always really helpful when so many people are sharing a house. We had five adults and a child and we all fit very comfortably here. Todd was very accessible and welcomed us sending questions or issues which is always something that’s comforting when you’re staying somewhere. I would highly recommend this home for stays in Wells!
