About this cottage rental
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.

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.

The house was beautiful. Great views. Short walk to the beach. Host was great at communicating prior to and during the stay. Perfect setting for girls weekend. Would definitely stay here again.

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!

The place is lovely and very close to the beach. There was a snafu with the password/wifi that was resolved. Couldn't watch TV because the remotes were not with the correct televisions, and the television settings had been changed. After all the activities, it would have been great to watch a movie with friends. The owners resolved this after our stay, and I doubt it will happen in the future. Just an FYI to future renters. -The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had what we needed. The fireplace outside was lovely. Great upper deck. Directions and entry instructions were clear. I would recommend this place.
