The house was clean and had a nice location in Wells. It was very convenient to Crescent Beach. The owners were responsive to any questions we had. It was a comfortable home for our family of 5. We enjoyed our stay.The beach chairs and umbrella provided were in terrible condition, broken and dirty - should be a bit better for a beach house.

We decided to do something different for the 4th and I was lucky to find this home for the week. We had a great time, the location to the beach was perfect. Walking distance to wells beach also. The home was clean, bright and comfortable. We had a great time and will probably book again
