It was a last minute trip and so happy I found this house. Beach was close and quiet for an early June visit and Billy restaurant was so close and great food. Will be visiting again.

Great view, cute house.

We had a great stay at the Salt box. It feels very coastal with views of the inlet, and short drive to the beach. It is also close to all amenities you might need, and many good restaurants. Had an overall great stay.

We had a wonderful stay at this rental! The house was spotless and just a short drive to the beach and some amazing local restaurants. It’s in a perfect location—peaceful, yet close to charming towns like York, Ogunquit, and Kennebunkport. Highly recommend for a relaxing and convenient getaway!

Quick getaway

Great cottage in Wells with centralized location and access to Rt. 1 to go north towards Kennebunk or south to Ogunquit. Quiet neighborhood with a great view of the marsh out the front windows. 3 good sized bedrooms and livings spaces. Worked well for a winter weekend, but I am sure it is even better during the summer months.
