Welcome to Serenity by the Sea!
Where salty breezes meet soul-soothing luxury, Serenity by the Sea invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with what matters most. Just a mile from the ocean and minutes from Wells’ favorite Scoop Deck ice cream shop, this HGTV-inspired retreat is more than a vacation rental—it’s a gathering place for families, friends, and four-legged companions to make memories that last a lifetime.
Step inside to a spacious, light-filled kitchen that calls for pancake breakfasts, seafood dinners, and laughter-filled evenings. The fully stocked coffee and tea bar is your go-to morning ritual, and the snack basket waiting for you upon arrival ensures you're nourished from the start — especially after a long travel day.
Guests say it best: “Best ... experience we’ve had in a long time… spotless, beautifully renovated, and more cozy and live-able than others in the area.”
From morning coffee on the deck to evenings under a blanket of stars by the fire table, every moment here is designed to melt stress away.
We’ve thought of everything so you don’t have to!
From plush pillows in every firmness (because we’re pillow picky too) to kid-friendly touches like toys, books, a high chair, and a pack 'n play — Serenity by the Sea is designed for families, dreamers, and beach lovers alike.
Yes, your pup is welcome too!

As one guest shared: “Our vacation was outstanding! The accommodations were lovely and meticulously kept, with proximity to the beach and nearby amenities."
So pack your flip-flops, bring your beach read, and let this coastal retreat wrap you in warmth, comfort, and calm. Serenity is calling—will you answer?

Great accommodations!
The rental home was exceptionally clean, well maintained and well appointed. Always pleasant walking into a nice, clean space, particularly given the home is pet friendly! A great location for short drives to take day trips to explore Portland, Kennebunkport, Portsmouth, etc. Highly recommend!

Clean, Spacious Common Space, Nice Amenities
We had a great stay at this unit. The first floor is one open space with a large kitchen island, elevated dining table and large living room L couch. Good for gathering with streaming options on the TV. Everything was easy to find and well explained in a guest book. The complementary bathroom products were great as well.

The house had everything you could think of. Other than food, everything was included. Having outdoor games and bikes to use was great and the location was a short walk to the beach. We visited several close picturesque towns and Wells was near so many activities it was hard to choose what to partake in.
