Lovely cottage at the salt marsh, with the ocean a very short walk away and a plethora of restaurants in the area. If you are looking for a place to unwind, this is it. Very quiet. Beautiful views.
The cottage is well-equipped, very comfortable and dog friendly. My dog and I had a fabulous week. No hassle checking in and checking out; very low key and efficient.
Highly recommend!

Beautiful week
The owner was very helpful with any questions we had and she was very nice. We would have liked if a resident beach parking pass was included as we were at the beach so often. We had a great 5 day get a way and can't wait to come back.

Beautiful place
We loved the location. It was quieter and less congested then right down near the beach. The kayaks were a blast for my husband and his buddy. We would definitely rent again.

What an awesome place to get away. Very quiet excellent spot a block away from the beach.

What a wonderful Maine experience!
This cottage is on the marsh side. It was so relaxing to watch the birds. We have great pictures of the Bald Eagle that came by daily.
Really a wonderful cottage and stay!!!

we loved it!
Janine’s cottage was great and the pictures of the location (although beautiful) somehow don’t do it justice. What a view! We had everything we needed in this small but very comfy cabin. We would definitely stay again. Thanks!

Cute little cottage stay
We had a great time! The cottage was cute and we enjoyed walking to the beach and exploring the area. We were lucky to see two beautiful sunsets over the marsh. Make sure to bring sheets and towels for your visit. We did bring them but it is not clear on the property information.
Our first trip to Maine and it's amazing!

Fabulous Retreat
The property was just what my husband and I needed to refresh our busy lives and give us the immersion in nature that we were seeking. Having a cozy cottage that had all the comforts of home while in a beautiful setting was wonderful.

Just what we wanted!
Everything about our stay at Zephyr cottage was perfect! The location at the end of a quiet lane on the marsh was just a short walk to beautiful Wells Beach. The cottage itself is adorable and furnished with anything you could possibly need. Our host Janine was great! She was quick to respond when we had a question and when Hurricane Dorian was expected to pass through off the coast, Janine made sure we were prepared for any potential high winds or flooding. As it turned out, the only thing Dorian brought was some amazing waves! All in all, it was a great stay! Just what we wanted!

Tranquility
This was a beautiful property; couldn't have asked for better views; the marsh is right behind the camp and you have the pleasure of watching all kinds of birds such as cranes, eagles, and sea ducks right in your own backyard. The sunsets are amazing and you have the option of going to either Crescent Beach or Moody Beach. Janine made sure we had everything we needed and was there to wish us well on our trip home. I would highly recommend this property.

Good for pets
This is a nice place to stay if you have pets. It is also good for birding. There was a bald eagle in the marsh every day we were there. Owners are friendly and give you privacy.

quaint and comfortable
we enjoyed staying in Zephyr! it is quaint and comfortable with a unique cozy charm. It was also nicely located close to beaches, the salt marsh, and many towns all while being quiet and offering a feeling of remoteness. The owner was also very responsive, helpful and nice. it was just what we were looking for.

Classic New England Beach House
This is a lovely little vintage cottage right at the edge of a salt marsh. The location is quiet and scenic, yet convenient to the beach, restaurants, and supermarket. The house was very clean when we arrived, and well-stocked with amenities for kitchen and bath (bring your own bed linen and bath towels, but beach and dish towels are provided). Janine, the owner, came to introduce herself and was most friendly and helpful. Overall we were very happy with our beach getaway at the Zephyr.

The cottage was cozy and well equipped. Great spot for sunsets! The tide controls your ability to go to the beach....no beach at high tide.

Quiet beach/marsh cottage in a beautiful location!
Stayed here with three adults and one child. We loved the marsh view and birdwatching during breakfast in the mornings. Close enough to everything in Wells and to Route 1, but incredibly quiet when you are at the cottage. Janine was very friendly and responsive to questions before the trip and stopped in to check on us our first evening. The cottage is rustic chic and had everything we needed. The bathroom is updated. Kitchen utensils, dishes and more were provided for us and made the trip easier! I have had friends ask where I stayed after seeing my pictures and I am happy to refer them to look up this rental. I
