Betsy’s house in Wells is a perfect combination of an ocean beach house and a cabin in the woods. Located in a quiet neighborhood less than a mile from several gorgeous beaches, you can either walk, or if you have more than a little beach gear, you can drive to the top of the main road and park on the street for free.
The house is thankfully not overly fancy. It’s got a real casual vibe that is simply relaxing. Comfortable bedrooms, (2) bathrooms, some nice extra space, a lovely pine paneled front porch, a family room with TV and space for what I set up as an office, a huge eat in kitchen and a living room. We spent a month there, and settled in like it was our own home. The house is air conditioned if needed, but ceiling fans in most rooms and beautiful breezes take care of anything but the hottest, muggiest days.
The kitchen is fully equipped, there’s wifi and Dish TV, but we brought our Firestick with us, and streamed whatever we wanted. Betsy is a wonderful, responsive host, and any small problems we had were quickly taken care of by her local caretaker. Of course, nothing is perfect, the house is a little dated, but that makes it all the more inviting in my book. The furniture is comfortable, and there are plenty of places to sit and relax by yourself or with a group . For my money (and I really checked around) Betsy’s place is far and away the best place within walking distance to the beach! We loved it so much, we already booked the same month for next year. A definite 5 star experience!
