July 4th and Family reunion

This little cottage was perfect for our party of 6 which includes 3 adults over 40 and 3 adult "kids". The house was clean, furniture was nice, kitchen was equipped and accommodating for cooking large meals. It's not a big house but the roof deck adds some lounging space. It was a very nice cottage.

Love this place. Roof top deck great for coffee in the morning or cocktails at night. Kitchen has everything you need. Dead end street was very quiet. This is our second year and plan on renting next summer. Close to restaurants. Very spacious open living area. A short walk to the beach.

Great cottage get away

Our family of 6 (3 adults, 3 kids) felt at home in Patti's cottage. It is as described and roomy enough for our large party for 3 nights. The morning dew does get the deck furniture quite moist so remember to bring a towel to wipe off and there is a partially obstructed view of marsh refuge. We hardly sat on the deck as we were out enjoying Wells and Ogunquit. Only comment is beach towels or mats on site would have been an extra special perk! We had a great time and beds were very comfortable. Recommended!

Amazing Vacation

House was perfect, location was perfect, host was perfect! Great vacation. Walk to beach was very short and easy ( even for my 7 year old niece who does not like to walk places). The beach was beautiful and not crowded at all. Many open areas to set up chairs and blankets. Patti was an amazing host left recommendations for places to eat and things to do in the area. Would highly recommend renting this cottage.

Moody Beach Cottage

We had a lovely week at Patti's cottage. It is located on a quiet street with spectacular views of the marsh, and a short walk to Moody Beach. The house is well taken care of, spacious, and has everything you need for a comfortable and pleasant stay. The kitchen is well appointed which we really appreciated since we do a lot of cooking. We really enjoyed the roof deck, and we saw beautiful sunsets over the marsh and loved being able to hear the waves crashing from the nearby ocean. We would highly recommend!

A Slice of Heaven

We found this house to accommodate 6 adult family members traveling from Boston and San Francisco to attend an outdoor family wedding in the area. It was perfect. The 3 large bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, and the open floor plan accommodated our family meals perfectly. Two bathrooms and a large well-appointed rooftop deck rounded out our 5 star experience. And we were less than a 5 min walk to the beach. The house was well stocked and we wanted for nothing. It was close to the beach and Route 1 so easy access to all the nearby attractions you may want to see. We would highly recommend it and will definitely keep it on our short list for the next visit. Thank you Patti for being so accessible, accommodating, and allowing our family to reconnect during this unprecedented time.

Perfect Wells Getaway

We had a great week at Patti's home. The property was nicely decorated and super clean. Did not have to do much baby proofing for my two-year-old twins and no stairs inside which is a bonus at this age. You can't beat the location - truly a 5 minute walk to to the beach. It was perfect and we would definitely recommend this property. Thank you!

Cottage at Moody Beach

The cottage was much nicer in person than the online description. It was very clean, the kitchen appliances were modern, and the heating and cooling systems seemed more than adequate, although we had lovely weather and did not really need them. Only suggestion: a couple more folding chairs would have been useful.

Great spot

We were two mom friends with 3 kids, age 10 - 13. Property was clean and as advertised, very well stocked kitchen, ample sheets and towels for all of us, and host was wonderfully responsive. There was a problem with the grill, and by the next day a brand new grill had arrived amd was all set up. She provided quick responses and recommendations. Only thing missing was a beach buggy to cart all our equipment to the beach, which is about a 10 min walk with kids. But the gorgeous beach was worth the walk!

Terrific beach house

One of my favorite beach houses to stay at. Nice, comfortable, homey, and well stocked. Rooftop deck is better and bigger than the pictures show. Great for our family and close to everything. Patti was very responsive and helpful. Check in and out very easy. Definitely recommend staying here; but go to the public beaches like North, Footbridge, and Drakes Island. Beaches are nicer, less crowded, and don’t have to deal with the very possessive Moody Beach home owners (those right on the beach).

Quiet house minutes to Moody Beach

I stayed at this house with my husband, 2 year old son and another couple. The location is a short 5 minute walk to moody beach which is a great beach for families. The house is located on a quiet dead end street which was great for us because we had a small child with us. When we initially checked in, there was a miscommunication with the cleaners and our house had not been cleaned yet but Patti was very quick to respond and rectify the situation. Our house was clean by the time we got back from dinner and she was excellent at communicating the plan to us. The house also has a roof deck with partial views of the marsh, great for relaxing on at the end of the day! Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it!
