Why walk when you can kayak?

This is a beautiful property. Despite not being directly on the beach, it is just steps away due to the public beach access. This has a great view of the marsh which looks great as the sun sets. The available kayaks allowed the rest of our group to join us on the river which we took advantage of most days. We happened to have the best week of weather this summer which did make me wish there was air conditioning. The beds were comfortable. The house was clean and had most everything we needed. Also, the owner was very responsive.

Great location

The house was perfect for our group of friends and family. Big kitchen and dining room to share meals, great back deck over looking the marsh. And best part is the beach right across the street. No need to drive or park. The house comes fully stocked with everything you need for cooking. Beds were comfortable. No AC, but the cool breeze off thearsh kept the house very comfortable!

Wonderful vacation with family

We had such an amazing time at the Flip Flop house. The house has everything you need. They have kayaks, sand toys, beach chairs. The kitchen is fully stocked. It was a huge relief not to have to bring all the extras like the beach chairs, etc. The location is amazing, the back of the house looks out on the marsh, and you are across the street from the beach. Close to the arcade and the shops. Would highly recommend and hope to stay again at the Flip Flop next year!

Crustacean Crazy Abode

Wonderful week at the Flip Flop!! We have been at numerous homes in the Wells area over the years and this was of the best. Plenty of room w/ a beautiful outdoor deck overlooking the marsh (we even had a bald eagle in a nearby tree most of the week). Kitchen was the best equipped of all rentals!! Clean, well cared for and nicely appointed home. Owner and care taker were very responsive to the very few issues that occured. We will go back next year if Gray will have us!!

About the host

Hosted by Gray Hirshfield

I have been coming to Wells Beach since I was born. My family has had property at the beach since the early 1900's. My grandfather was a lobster man in Wells and Ogunquit. He originally worked from a dory out of the old wells harbor across from the Wells fire house. (Now gone)
Wells Beach Maine is my happy place. Families return year after year.

Why they chose this property

I grew up coming to Wells Beach in the summer. My mother, grandmother and great grandmother also came to Wells. Wells is wonderful all year round. I now appreciate spending quiet time by the fire during the winter. And walks on the beach that I have almost all to myself.
Wells is a family place where people return year after year and neighbors all know each other and look out for one another.

What makes this property unique

A glass of wine or a mock-tail on the back deck while watching the sunset over the Marsh is a highlight of every day. Pulling a kayak right out back into the marsh and rowing for hours is the best way to see the marsh and enjoy the waterfowl.
