Guest Reviews

corries559 (10/5): Wonderful stay in a great location! - I would highly recommend Moody’s! I loved that we were greeted by the owner upon arrival. We were shown to our room, while also getting an overview of the property and the surrounding area. The property was well kept, our room was very clean, decor was nice, and the views were great! It’s nice and quiet. The front of the property was steps from the beach and the back faced the beautiful marsh.
nancykX7156TJ (10/5): Amazing find on the Maine Coast - I was unsure what to expect with a last-minute booking. But I found myself solo for the Fourth of July weekend and the best thing I could think of to do is to go to the beach. Everything‘s better at the beach and this is no exception. I’ve not been to this beach or location before but I am so happy I did. I picked a solo room which included a bathroom, a living, sleeping area lots and lots of drawer space, hanging space and a giant built in place for suitcases and sandy things. This room came with front porch to watch the sunrise and back porch to watch the sunset. Both of which were private for me although they do share the space with one other unit. The bed was super comfy. The water pressure in the shower was amazing and nothing was missing. To get to the beach. You literally walk across the street and then down a ramp that was built for either wheelchair or buggies, and I even saw some bikes going down the ramp. there is also a set of stairs. The beach is flat and long. It’s almost in a cove, so the waves were not overwhelming, and people were floating, paddle boarding and snorkeling for shells. There was a child on the beach that caught a baby lobster. They put the lobster back in the water, of course nature is all around you. Quiet time starts at 10 here and although there are lots of buildings, it is a very small community. And almost shuts down at 10 o’clock in walking distance. There is a lobster pound coffee ice cream that’s even an arcade. You can walk to a café for breakfast or dinner and never have to drive anywhere. Obviously you can get to lots of great things to do with short drives, but if looking for an escape from all that, this is perfect. When I arrived, I was met by Dustin. He is a third generation owner and he brought me to my rental. Explained everything and told me if I needed anything at all just let him know. He was moving around the property constantly helping people sharing information and recommendations for places to go, etc. . He really loves this place and you can tell he takes care of it so well. It is not granite counter tops kind of place, not bougie. It’s comfortable and is built with quality and durability everything was perfect. I can see my multi-family coming here to enjoy time together but in separate places. I will be back, I’m hoping for a girlfriend weekend soon. You can book AirB&B, but the price is 30% less booking directly.
Q4257BYkarenr (10/5): Perfect for a long weekend! great location! - Rented cottage #9, it was absolutely perfect for mom, daughter and me. It's a simple cottage, but very clean, with all you really need in a kitchen on vacation (we did cook, nothing elaborate). The rocker chairs outside were great to sit in and watch all the birds out on the marsh. Bedding is provided, which I appreciate. The street was quiet in May, we went walking each day on the road and on the beach. We'll definitely be back!
emzgram (10/5): Look No Further! - Comfy, cozy and clean!! Steps to the beach with an amazingly beautiful marsh with gorgeous sunsets in the evening and lots of wildlife during the day. Cottages and rooms are equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Owner always on site and extremely responsive to requests. This is a family business and one can see how much pride and love went into this property for the last 40?(50) years!
K8002FHcherylc (8/5): Hospitable cottage - We stayed in a cottage which was very spacious and comfortable but a bit dated. Beautiful view on the marsh, convenient to beach and very hospitable owner. Be aware you need to supply your own bath towels which was a bit inconvenient for a short stay.
NYSusan1 (10/5): Awesome - 4th stay at this property. Never disappointed! Owner is friendly, location is quiet and safe. Great location close to all you want to visit. Rooms are spotless, beds are comfy. You can not go wrong with this motel!
BBJones44 (8/5): Cute and Clean - Very nice room right across the street from the beach. Owner very kind and helpful. Neat and clapean accomodations. Small porch, refrigerator and coffee available. It is in a Perfect location. Fairly priced.
WRC6 (8/5): Bygone Days - Stayed here for one night enroute to a destination further up the Maine coast. This comfortable old-fashioned and well-maintained property reminded me of the kind of places my parents would have booked for family road trips in the distant past. WHAT WAS GOOD: Dustin greeted me upon arrival and proposed a room switch that undoubtedly enhanced the quality of my stay. I was traveling solo and it so happened that the room I’d booked was surrounded by two rooms hosting a large family group. My new room faced the ocean and was wonderfully quiet and private. It’s great to have a concerned owner on site looking out for guests’ best interests….You’ll likely come here mainly for the beach, which is just steps away. Complimentary beach chairs with each unit are a nice plus….Descriptions of the sunsets here aren’t overstated. With the ocean out front and the expansive marsh in the back, this really is a beautiful oceanside setting. WJAT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER: My room had very basic furnishings and was more than comfortable enough for my one-night stay. Only minor knock was for the size of the TV, which was roughly equivalent to a large desktop monitor. Also, couldn’t get the Keurig machine to work, but that might have been a result of my own mechanical limitations. THINGS TO KNOW: There’s a good lobster pound right next door but not much else within walking distance. You’ll need to drive for restaurants, groceries, shops, etc. BOTTOM LINE: Really nice family-run, unassuming place right at one of Maine’s top beaches.
jamessF395OT (10/5): Use their website to reserve your stay.. moodysofmaine.com - I rarely write a review that praises the OWNER but, he was very helpful ..!!! If you use the "third party" sites to book you will NOT be able to really get the full beauty of this place.. Their website actually tells you EVERYTHING and, shows you pictures that will help you pick a great room.
DAKD_c2c (10/5): Great stay near the beach - Amazing customer service! The owner lives on site and accommodated all our requests for everything from a cookie sheet to bandaids. Beautiful views of the estuary from the common areas. New appliances in the kitchen. Wi-Fi strong enough for three teenagers! Comfy couch. Exactly as described. Close to the beach and a short drive to the grocery store and great restaurants.
Paula6155 (10/5): Comfortable Getaway - Nice spot for a comfortable off/end of season getaway. I enjoyed the Marsh View lodging feeling it is the best on the property for quiet, seclusion and vast view of the marsh and birds. I was greeted by owner, Dustin who is a delight and truly aims to please his guests. This was a two night stay in very clean accommodations, nice cozy porch with the best glider chairs on the porch to enjoy the view and relax. Dustin also provided some cable magic so I was able to enjoy the opening night game of the Boston Bruins, much appreciated. Beach is 300ft across the street. This was my first stay at this location and planning on a return visit next fall.
carsmithBedford_NH (10/5): Vacation - We were very satisfied with our stay. It's across the street from the beach which made it very convenient. Our needs were met. Great eateries all around us and great ice cream places. Our host was as always very eager to please. We will be back next year.
ValerieS1536 (10/5): An old-fashioned delight! - We stayed one night in a cabin on our way from Portland to Acadia. Two bedrooms, bath, screened porch—just what you need and nothing more. Spotless. In a beautiful setting for a peaceful night and a roosterly wake-up call. Simple and homey…like the vacations your parents used to tell you about.
greensboro71 (10/5): Great motel located very close to the beach - We stayed at this motel for 5 nights. Room was very clean and cozy with a view of the ocean. The beach was only a 2 minute walk away. Staff and owner were very helpful and efficient. It really felt you were staying with a family. Very easy check-in process.
235brucez (10/5): Updated facilites - they now have ductless air conditioning units for all cabins. New windows and floors. The place is much improved. a real bargain. also can walk to Moody Dinner for the best blueberry pie. It quite at night and off the road of route 1.
Lovelyliki (8/5): Nothing fancy but comfortable - This was our first time staying at Moody's but we hope it won't be our last. Since we retired we had to "down size" & not stay where we normally do, which is pricey for off season. We found Moody's, almost "on" the water & the rates are so reasonable. Dustin is so nice, very helpful, told us where the good places to eat were. We could see the ocean from our room, and sunset. The bed was very comfortable. The room & bathroom were clean. Stairs were hard to do for us old folks so we didn't do them often. Room came with a coffee pot, small refrigerator & a microwave. No plates or utensils or anything like that so you'll have to bring your own if you're planning on using the microwave. All the descriptions of the rooms are on their web site.
arbourne (10/5): Very nice place. - The owner of Moody’s is very friendly and professional. I was in Room 13. It is a spacious room. If another person was with me we would still would have had enough space to relax spread out. The room’s view of the neighboring marsh is particularly blocked by other structures on the property. Yet it is still a pleasant view. There is a chair and table on the room’s balcony that has a nice view of the beach across the street. The bed is comfortable. The water pressure is good. The water stays hot. The property is well maintained. The room was clean and showed no signs of wear.
E70thNick (10/5): Comfortable, well-run motel by ocean and wetlands. - Dustin, the owner, is a young man who really cares. This place is nothing fancy. But our room was clean and comfortable and had what we needed. Our deck overlooked the beautiful salt marsh that runs for miles through Wells. Across the road is the ocean. We had a lovely peaceful time.
jessietravis15 (10/5): Cottage - First time my husband and I stayed at Moody’s motel and cottages. We loved it. Dustin was great, we both really enjoyed our conversations with him. My mother, brother and SIL joined us for 2 nights. The marsh view is amazing, every morning we had breakfast with a view. The lawn chairs were used regularly by us. Plenty of space to play corn hole. We stayed in cottage 10 which we absolutely loved because of the large deck with the view of the marsh and the BEST sunset. Very clean. However, the privacy is completely dependent on the people above you as there are 2 motel rooms above you, their deck is above yours, the stairs to get to their room is from your deck. There are pros and cons about that, if it’s your family and friends it’s perfect, if it’s loud and rude people (which only occurred one night) who stay above you it’s awful. Dustin saw the rudeness of those particular people and did not book them for the upcoming year which is a big factor for why we are booking again. Other than that one night, all the guests were kind, quiet and peaceful. I woke up early to watch the sunrise on the beach. We ran the beach most days. 3 miles to and back from the Levi at the end of wells beach, 5 miles to and back footbridge and 7.4 to and back Ogunquit beach. We walked or rode our bikes to most places for dinner. Crescent beach is dependent on tide, we thought it was perfect as we spent a few hours on the beach and at high tide made our way back to the cottage for some lawn chair time! See you next year Dustin!!
I6599UGmikeb (10/5): Great Family Vacation! - Our stay at Moody's was a great. Dustin does a fantastic job. His ability to keep the family atmosphere that Penny and Steve created while adding his own touch made our stay as pleasant as ever. Dustin payed close attention to our needs and was very helpful with explaining any new changes. The grounds were well kept and cottage was clean as always. Can't wait to go back!
Michael (10/5): reat trip - Thank you so much for letting us stay at your motel. the room was perfect for what we needed it for. it was a nice and peace full, we could see the ocean out of our window and also hear the ocean which made nights very relaxing. we will be back again for sure
Verified traveler (8/5): - nice location beds are a little high off the ground.
SJC285 (10/5): The Absolute Best! - Just returned from our 18th September spent here and are already planning for next fall! Comfortable and homey with the best owners in Penny & Steve you could ask for. A stone's throw from a beautiful beach, lots of spots to sit in the sun and read or just enjoy the outstanding view of the marsh & its wildlife. Do not miss sunset over this beautiful spot either! Can't say anything bad about Moody's and really can't say enough good about it. One visit and you'll be counting the days until you return.
Wayne (8/5): Maine Holiday - Very comfortable "Old Maine" style. No a/c on hottest week of year, but the fans and sea breeze kept it comfortable. Provided beach chairs and toys. Had a covered porch, picnic tale and lounge chairs. There was an outdoor shower 20 feet from our porch to de-sand or cool ourselves. The lifeguard stand was 50 yards from the cottages. We walked into town for breakfast along the beach every day. There is a lobster pond an fish restaurant two doors down.. The trolley service went right by the complex. The refrigerator made ice faster than my home freezer. People were very friendly.
Bill (10/5): - Great location close to the beach. Wonderful destination for a family with kids.
Verified traveler (10/5): - It was truly a place of peace and tranquility. The staff was welcoming and our place was spotless. We were steps to the beach. I highly recommend Moody’s!
Verified traveler (10/5): - Being clise to the water and friendly staff I aked to get in room early and it was ready when i arrived
Kenneth (10/5): Great place - Very clean , comfortable and quiet
Lawrence (2/5): What an Traumatizing Experience, Beware of Toxins - When we arrived at motel was welcomed. Room was rustic and bed was comfortable. Shower great water pressure. At 12:40 AM, I was awoken by a gaseous odor in which caused my heart beat to become fast and irregular along with shortness of breath. I got up and woke up my other half. We went outside and got into our car, where we could escape this gaseous odor. Within 5-10 mins., my heart rate started returning to normal, although still short of breath with difficulty breathing. My stomach was upset from this exposure to the point of dry heaving. My other half had a headache and sore throat and was nauseous. At 1:45 AM, I opened the car door in order to find out if the odor was gone. It was gone. We went back into the room and the odor was no longer detected. We went back to bed and within 60 mins., this same gaseous odor had started to resurface in the room. I started to have heart problems as before with the other symptoms as previously stated. I got up from bed and woke my other half. Went outside and started to dry heave. Got into car. Other half came out to car as well. Called 911 and by the time they arrived on scene, the odor had magically disappeared. The emergency personnel stated it was probably the marsh. We stated that marsh odor would not have caused the heart, pulmonary and neurological issues. We have been around other area marshes that have odors and did not get sick. Questionable what happened here. Hotels.com called owners, owners denied a refund. Stay away!!
Verified traveler (8/5): - Location and cleanliness along with amenities are all good reasons to stay at this hotel.
Verified traveler (10/5): - I had an amazing stay! The cottage was beautiful and clean, and the place is right on the beach! There’s an amazing seafood restaurant right next door.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Great place ... very close to ocean ... only downside was the very small side of the soap
Clinton (10/5): Maine hospitality at it’s best - Comfortable across from a great beach. Has family accommodations plus single motel style rooms. Met people who have returned year after year. We will be back next year, too!
Mary (10/5): - I loved it all!! The location was excellent and the owners were very nice. The room was just perfect and especially the view!
Verified traveler (6/5): Possibly too early in the season... - The room smelt 'musty' as soon as we walked in. It was also freezing; and although we turned on the heat, it was minimal at best. Unfortunately, there was no mention that there were extra blankets in a drawer, which we stumbled upon the next morning. The room itself was a bit outdated with the furnishings. The upside is, is it across from the beach and the people who run it were extremely nice. My husband left his electric razor and they were kind enough to call right away before we were out of town. The property itself is pretty and well kept. It would be nice in the summer, I'm sure.
