Sobre aquest allotjament
Welcome to the Sunshine Shack, a Unique Bright Cottage with Bold Ocean Views!
Spend your vacation in our comfortable Moody Point beach home. Our Sunshine Shack is located just steps away from the Atlantic Ocean at the end of a safe and quiet dead end street with only three other houses on the road. We have lovingly updated this cottage. We hope the details and effort will show how excited we are to share our cottage and beautiful Moody, Maine with other families and friends. Come see what is so special about the Wells, Moody, Ogunquit and Kennebunk beaches, restaurants and activities.
Our two story Sunshine Shack is filled with sun and is appointed with comfort and pleasant coastal colors and textures. We have 3 bedrooms and can sleep up to 9 comfortably (Bedroom one has 1 Queen, Bedroom two has 1 Queen and 1 Twin, Bedroom three a true family suite has 1 Full, 1 Twin daybed, and 1 Twin Bunk Bed. Linens are not provided, (please pack all towels and sheets or rent via Cottage Linens) to guests. Cottage Linens is a local linen rental company that is available if you wish to rent linens. There are two bathrooms (one full and one 3/4) and a full custom kitchen with bar seating for four. The kitchen seamlessly flows into a sitting area which then gives way to the dining area. The dining table seats 6 and is positioned in order to enjoy the ocean views out of the eight foot slider that opens to the deck. The upstairs is very open and makes for an excellent entertaining area. Open the newly installed oversized sliding door and let the sight, sound, and smell of the ocean fill the cottage and your heart.
Our air conditioned, beach cottage includes a 46” Flat Screen TV which is mounted above a gas fireplace. We have WiFi and an office space downstairs for someone who was unable to completely leave work behind and a Play Station for the occasional and sometimes welcomed rainy day. Our kitchen has a combination of granite countertops and warm butcher block surfaces, stainless steel appliances, and all the cooking and dining items you may need. We also have a beautiful large gas fire pit that sits off our deck where you can have a glass of your favorite summer beverage in the glow of fire light all while listening to the waves crash the shore just 50 yards away. Outdoors we have a patio table on the deck and a small conversation patio set. A good sized yard, lawn games and plenty of areas and activities to enjoy outside of the cottage.
Some of the places we really enjoy in the Wells/Ogunquit area include: Wells Harbor where they have restaurants, a free concert every Saturday evening (in season) in the gazebo, a great playground, and a working dock where you can watch the lobstermen come and go, take a fishing charter, catch crabs, or rent kayaks and paddle boards.
Wells Beaches are made up of miles of sandy and salty goodness. They include Moody Beach, the Main Beach (trolley stop) Crescent Beach and Drakes Island Beach. These are all great places to fly kites, discover sea life in tide pools and jump over or run from waves.
Laudholm Farm and the Rachel Carson Preserve are both in Wells and are excellent nature centers where one can Bird watch and walk along trails and see the beautiful transition from Maine woodlands to freshwater estuaries to saltwater marsh life.
In Ogunquit we enjoy going to Perkins Cove (trolley stop). This is either the start or the finish of Marginal Way, a coastline walking path with perhaps the most picturesque and bold views of the Atlantic ocean that you will ever find. Ogunquit has many great restaurants, a nationally recognized beach, a good nightlife and a world renowned Play House. The best part is that it is the next town over and only a short drive or trolley ride from our cottage.
We have provided internet links in our online guest book to some of our favorite places in the area and have also included a few “secret spots” in a booklet in the cottage. We live and work in the area and will always try to be available for questions regarding the cottage and things to do. We truly want whoever rents our Sunshine Shack to have the best time and feel like they got to know our coastal community and love the whole experience as much as we do.

Absolutely heavenly view the home is so very cute and clean. Easy walk to moody beach. Walk along the shore all the way to Ogunquit was my favorite. Packing the car for a day at the beach with kids not fun but small price to pay for the 24/7 beach environment the house gives you

The Sunshine Shack did not disappoint! What a precious and charming property that made for a memorable stay. We were celebrating a friend of 30 years 65th birthday with 7 friends. We all loved the comfortable, clean, beautifully decorated and well-appointed cottage and the relaxing and convenient location.The host was very responsive and attentive. Everything was as explained, and the cottage had everything we needed to enjoy a few days together with ease. We enjoyed a few walks on the beach, visits to Wells and Ogunquit and a play at the historic Ogunquit Playhouse. The location was perfect and the outdoor deck was lovely to sit out on and enjoy the sound and view of the Atlantic Ocean. Absolutely perfect escape, we highly recommend!

Great house with a view.
This was a perfect house for our week in Wells. Lovely private lot on a dead-end street and while, one row back from the oceanfront - the view from the deck was spectacular. House was clean with plenty of towels and linens. Easy access to multiple beaches and a short bike ride to ice cream. Owners were easy to book with and responsive to questions.

Great stay at Sunshine Shack!
Stayed with family for a week. House was very spacious for 8 adults. Bedrooms were good for families or multiple couples. House was well equipped for cooking Great deck with ocean views with the sounds of the waves crashing. Easy drive to Wells and Ogunquit beaches. Owners were easy to communicate with and very responsive. I would recommend without hesitation.

Wonderful stay at the Sunshine Shack! The pictures don’t do it justice! We had 5 adults and one 4yo. Lots of room to gather for meals and games. Cozy gas fireplace, Kitchen and house, clean, modern and well stocked! Beautiful location looking out over Gulf of Maine. 10 minute walk to the beach and easy drive into Ogunquit center.
Amy was very responsive and checked in on us to make sure we settled in and had any questions. We would all highly recommend this home for a family getaway!

4th July family getaway
Amy and Ned were so accommodating and let my family checked in early so can unload our refrigerated food in such a hot day. They also responded to my questions so timely. I felt in love with this cute beach house the moment we stepped in. The house is spotless, bright and equipped with all the necessities. The best part, it’s walking distance to both the Moody Beach and Crescent Beach. I actually like the fact the the sliding door was missing the screen because I can leave it open to feel the ocean breeze and listen to the wave crashing the nearby shore, and surprisingly no bugs at all. We love this place and hope to return in the near future.

Great location and great communication
The house is on a nice quiet street, with a longer walk than we wanted, but still only around 7 minutes to the first public access walkway for Moody Beach.
The listing stated there was a hot tub - that was a mistake, but nothing we would have used anyway. If you’re looking for one though, it’s worth noting here that the listing is inaccurate.
Our only complaint are regarding the quality of the beds - they were very cheap and thin.

Perfect spot!
We needed a place to accommodate our family with 5 adults and two teens and it was just right! It has a nice yard for activities and games.
The upstairs bathroom has a tiny shower and a small sink. Great for the guys in the group that don’t have to shave their legs or blow dry their hair. There are also a lot of stairs to climb to get to the main level, so I would not recommend this place for people that have a hard time getting around. Other other than that it was all wonderful! 😊
We could walk to Ogunquit Beach and to the Wells Lobster Pound. I highly recommend their fish sandwich.
We hope to go back again….we loved it there!

Rental does not include bed sheets or towels
Travelers need to know that this house does not provide any linens when you rent this property - no bed sheets, pillow cases, or towels - for fewer than 7 days. I have never encountered this before in renting a place, so it came as a bit of a shock. The property managers did give me advice on a local company that will rent linens for around $50 per bed/person, so keep that in mind if you choose to rent this place. That said, the house was great - it had a washer and dryer (someone had left Tide Pods so we didn't haven't to go buy detergent) and nice kitchen with everything we needed. The property managers provided clear instructions and everything was great as far as getting into the house. Some of the lights on the deck were burned out and we didn't use the BBQ or the small gas firepit. The house is tucked back on a small cul de sac and not on a beach or even near the water really (access is a bit of a walk away) and the beach is very rocky anyway and not really suitable for visiting, but you can hear the waves and see a small sliver of ocean from the deck. The house is very cozy and cute. Just be aware that you'll need to drive 5 ish minutes to a sandy beach (and pay for parking) and that you have to either bring your own sheets or rent them and have them delivered. Wells, ME is a very small and quiet town - we drove about 10+ minutes to find restaurants - Batson River on 73 Mile Rd was our favorite - but there is a grocery store and CVS nearby that were really handy.

A Memorable VRBO Stay: Cleanliness, Excellent Host Communications, and Accuracy of Property!
I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Sunshine Shack, and I cannot express enough how exceptional my experience was. From the moment I booked until the day I checked out, every aspect of my stay surpassed my expectations. Here's a detailed review highlighting the cleanliness, host communications, and overall property that made this stay truly great.
Cleanliness:
One of the first things that impressed me upon entering the property was its impeccable cleanliness. The entire place was spotless, and it was evident that the hosts take great pride in maintaining a hygienic environment. The bathrooms and well-maintained kitchen, every corner of the property was flawlessly clean. It was truly a pleasure to stay in such a pristine and well-cared-for space.
Host Communications:
The hosts of this VRBO property were simply amazing when it came to communication. From the initial booking inquiry to the check-out process, they were prompt, friendly, and attentive to my needs. They responded to my messages promptly, providing clear instructions and addressing any questions or concerns I had. For example, I was traveling with my 18 month old and needed to ensure there was a pack n play available.
Overall property:
The property boasted an impressive array of amenities that added immense value to my stay. The kitchen included a Keurig machine, which made coffee making super convenient. The comfortable and well-furnished living spaces provided ample relaxation options, and the high-speed internet access was a definite plus. Additionally, the presence of a washer and dryer allowed me to travel light and keep my clothes fresh throughout my stay. I will say the stairs provided a bit of a risk traveling with my kid, but we adjusted and put chairs in front of the stairs. A gate might be nice to include for future guests with kids.
Overall Experience: 5 stars!
In conclusion, my Sunshine Shack stay exceeded all my expectations. I miss Maine already and cant wait to go back!
I highly recommend this VRBO property to anyone seeking a clean and well-managed space with ample room and beds for everyone in your group!

All appliances were accessible and clean…easy to use. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spotless. Amy was always very quick with replies to any question, even providing extra helpful information. Many places were within walking distance which we loved. The view from the deck was lovely and on cool evenings we could close the sliding door and still enjoy the view!We highly recommend the Sunshine Shack.
