The Eastern Avenue Cottage The space Bask in the breezy, beachy atmosphere of this dog-friendly Wells cottage, a lovely Maine escape with a simple, charming interior, beautiful sunset views of a tidal marsh, and easy walking access to the beach and ocean one block away! This tidy, single-level cottage sits on the eastern edge of the Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve, just across Atlantic Avenue from the sand and surf of Wells Beach.

Assemble a homemade fruit salad for breakfast using local Maine blueberries, toss your flip-flops and beach towels in your bag, and spend the morning building sandcastles on Wells Beach. Indulge in a peaceful afternoon nap in the sitting room, and catch an unforgettable sunset over the marsh with a cocktail or a local microbrew in hand. One dog is welcome to come along, though please note our nightly pet fee. You'll come back to the ease and comfort of this Wells cottage year after year - book your stay in Southern Maine today!
