Quaint Cottage Just Steps From The Beach And The Saco River

28 West Ave is a warm and welcoming cottage. The cottage is 600 feet from the ocean. The kids will love to walk to the beach, and if you get hungry on your way home there's a restaurant and lobster sure to satisfy your Maine appetite, kayak rentals to navigate the Saco River are located down the street. Old Orchard Beach is 4 miles away for the kids to have fun. This is a smoke and pet free cottage. In 2017 we did some improvements to make your stay better! It's a nice quiet street for children.

Camp Ellis

We were expecting three separated bedrooms. I think the description could say one bedroom separate and to adjoining. We made it work and it was fine.

Saco Great family retreat

The property was as advertised. Very clean and very well equipped. Robin was right next door and very responsive but not intrusive! Close to a small beach and Saco River, but away from the craziness of Old Orchard, which was a short drive for amazements. We went to the the Children's museum in Portland, ME which was crazy but awesome for the grandson.

Perfect cottage for camp ellis stay

Robin was great to work with in setting up the rental for our week. Went out of her way to help out with extra requests. The cottage was in a good place in the hamlet, walking distance to the beach and jetty and Huots restaurant. It was very clean and kitchen and laundry area were well stocked. Good appliances, nice cookware, window air conditioners on both floors. Big wrap around porch was nice.

wonderful getaway

The cottage was immaculately clean with and exceedingly well-equipped kitchen, lovely screened in porch with gas grille which worked well. The downstairs bedroom is small, though it has a very comfortable queen-size bed, and the bathroom is adequate though a little cramped. The living room is dark, a result of the wraparound porch, but as we didn't spend much time in it, , although I do think brighter lighting would help. Robin was very helpful, came over with candles and a flashlight when a storm was threatening, otherwise she was very unobtrusive. The neighborhood was quiet, it is convenient to the beach...It was a true Maine Experience!!! the downst

Perfect stay for family fun!

We had a great time staying at this property. It was an ideal location and a nice quiet street. The kids could play in the yard or sit on the porch. The house was super clean and I have no complaints about the set-up or the amenities. Robin was helpful and accessible during our whole stay. We enjoyed the beach and all of the local attractions. Definitely recommend for families of all ages.

Wonderful, relaxing family vacation at beautiful Camp ELLIS

We loved the quiet location and the short walk to the beach. The cottage was immaculately clean and just adorable. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch where we spent many hours relaxing and laughing with our family. The owners are very nice and welcoming. Not having to bring our bed linens and towels was very convenient. The kitchen is very well-stocked. Just a short walk to a great seafood restaurant… Huots. My family enjoyed kayaking in the area and the neighborhood was perfect for bike riding! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay so much that we plan to return next year!
