Traveling with a pet to the southern Maine coast means finding a place that actually welcomes your four-legged companion, and Wells has several motels that fit the bill without breaking your budget. At Drake's Island Resort & Cottages, you can base yourself near the Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve and still have access to family rooms, a saltwater pool, and a seasonal outdoor pool, with rates that suit both budget-conscious families and those seeking a bit more space. Alternatively, the Anchor Inn and Cottages Wells-Ogunquit offers a practical spot along US Route 1, with free WiFi, a work desk, and barbecue facilities, all within a short walk to Moody Beach. For a more resort-style feel, the Majestic Regency Resort includes tennis and basketball courts, while Ne'R Beach Motel provides outdoor lobster cookers and a heated pool, and Carriage House Motel Cottages & Suites adds a hot tub and EV charging. Cottages and suites with kitchenettes offer extra flexibility for longer stays, and the free trolley service from some properties makes exploring Ogunquit and Wells Beach hassle-free.
When it comes to picking a district, the area around Moody Beach and the Ogunquit line gives you the quickest access to the sand, ocean, and local attractions like Wonder Mountain Fun Park-all while keeping you within a few miles of downtown Wells' shops and eateries. Expect to pay mid-range rates for the area, with family-friendly amenities like pools, free parking, and picnic areas standard at most of these motels. For those traveling in summer, book ahead, as the season is short and these pet-friendly spots fill fast-especially ones near the Wells Trolley stops, which can take you and your pup to area sights. Whether you're in a guest room or a full cottage, these Wells motels make it easy to bring the whole family, pets included, and focus on beach days and lobster dinners rather than logistics.
