About this property

Cozy Camp Ellis Property, Saco, ME 4 minute walk to beach!

Currently Booking Summer 2025!!! This is a Saturday to Saturday weekly rental in July-August.

This home is located in the spirited waterfront community known as Camp Ellis in Saco Maine (Southern Maine). Camp Ellis is a working waterfront community with a dock and a mile long jetty. Very popular for local lobstering and tuna fishing! When the ice truck drives by the house you know a fisherman is at the dock with a tuna!!!

Immaculate well-appointed cozy cottage with newly installed central air - no more noisy window AC units!!! Newly updated and decorated in a tasteful "pottery barn coastal". Two bedrooms with one large bath and an additional outdoor shower. One bedroom is furnished with a king size bed (memory foam mattress) and has a walk-in closet and TV; second bedroom has two twin beds (or pushed together to make a king) and a small closet. All linens included at no extra charge. Bathroom is newly remodeled and spacious with a large vanity and walk-in shower (no tub).

Good size kitchen with a breakfast nook. All stainless-steel appliances, including a dishwasher, garbage disposal and is fully stocked with cookware, dishware and all the necessities for whipping up a quick meal. Comfortable sized dining room and a large back deck to enjoy outdoor dining and colorful sunsets. There is a sunny all season front porch for morning coffee or evening cocktails (being remodeled with pictures coming soon).

The house is equipped with a new outdoor gas grill. There is a washer and dryer in the basement for guests to use as well. Additionally, beach towels and 4 beach chairs are provided. This house accommodates 4 guests comfortably. And has a nice big yard for cornhole and other games (stored in basement) and a large driveway for off street parking.


The house is just a few blocks to 7 miles of beautiful beach, which includes Ferry Beach State Park (you can walk all the way to Old Orchard beach at low tide). It's a short drive to popular attractions in Old Orchard Beach and many of Saco's family attractions including amusement and water parks, miniature golf, a drive-in and indoor movie theater (RT 1 North). And enjoy nearby golf courses in Saco, Old Orchard Beach and Arundal. Great vacation spot for the entire family. Sorry, No Pets and No Smoking.


Kayak, bike, hike, swim or just relax in this waterfront village. Fish off the jetty or watch the fisherman haul in lobster and tuna on the dock, just a short walk from the cottage. Enjoy watching the boats sailing down the Saco River to the open ocean. There is a small country store for essentials with great sandwiches and a seafood restaurant and bar (Hout's) with live entertainment and ice cream all within walking distance from the house (businesses are only open seasonally). Camp Ellis is less than a 30 minute drive to Portland and Kennebunkport, about 40 minutes to Freeport for some outlet shopping! Take a longer drive up the coast or inland to the mountains and lakes region. Rental Agreement required - attached in Rules & Policies, Rental Agreement tab.

Perfect vacation home!!

This is such a beautifully kept home inside and out with a nice size yard which our son enjoyed. Minutes walk from a beautiful beach that is never overly crowded. Such a beautiful beach neighborhood with very friendly neighbors as well! We enjoyed mornings and nights just relaxing and grilling on the deck. Only 10 minutes from Old Orchard Beach, we chose to take the trolly down which the trolly stop is steps from the house, it was a fun experience for all of us! The manager was very helpful and thoughtful upon arrival and departure. We loved everything about this home and will definitely visit again!!

A great quiet place!

The comments on this property helped me choose it and were very true. The house was immaculate, and the neighborhood, very quiet. The host, Deb, was very welcoming and helpful. Kitchen is fully stacked with everything you need. During this mother/daughter October trip, we have enjoyed the sun room to read and relax. It is very easy to access the various sightseeing that Maine has to offer from this location. All in all, very nice stay in Camp Ellis!

Deb was an AWESOME host. Her cottage is everything you'd want. Deb was the perfect hostess.

Immaculately clean, very homey and inviting. There was wine in the fridge welcoming us. Excellent choice for our visit to Maine. I would HIGHLY recommend renting Deb's Cottage By The Sea. We will be back

Great vacation, great house

Everything was perfect. The house was great, very clean, the kitchen well equipped. We enjoyed our stay very much, Linnea is the perfect host. We went in September, hence the surroundings were quiet, which is just what we needed. Thanks you again Linnea Dominique

LOVED IT!

So easy to give this cottage a five star rating! It was immediately obvious that the owners take great care and pride in this cottage and they really have gone out of their way to make this a very comfortable rental. Every room was fresh and clean with recent updates and upgrades to appliances and furnishings. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the dish ware, cutlery, utensils, pots and pans and everything else you'll need to cook a nice meal at home. The stove, fridge and dishwasher are all relatively new and the double sink makes prep and clean up a breeze. Between the eating area and the table on the back deck, there's plenty of space to enjoy a meal alone or with friends. We only used the side burner on the outdoor grill but I will say that the grill was very decent size and well maintained. The bathroom has an oversize shower, and it was honestly the best shower I've ever had! The outdoor shower is private and a little more high end than your typical vacation outdoor shower. The king size memory foam mattress in the larger bedroom was so comfortable and the large walk-in closet has plenty of space to store all your clothes. The house linens are also stored there with no shortage of towels and sheets for the week (overstocked!) The clothes washer and dryer were very welcome, as we did a couple small loads during the week. The living room and porch were tastefully furnished and decorated without being cluttered. If your not down on the beach, this is probably the second best place to relax. Wi-Fi and cable television work very well in case you feel the need to take a break from beach life and be in contact with the outside world. There's also a big box of DVDs if you'd like to watch a movie on a rainy night at home. I've probably missed a few things in my review so I'll just say that we couldn't have asked for a better rental experience than this... and thanks to the realtor for the welcoming bottle of wine in the fridge!

Perfect Cottage for Beach Vacation!

This cottage is perfectly appointed for a beach vacation. The decor is beach chic and the cottage is immaculate and well-appointed. We barely used the TV, instead spending our time at the beach, on the jetty, and exploring. The wifi and laundry facilities were a blessing...as was the bottle of wine we received on our arrival. We loved the place and highly recommend it!

Perfect!!

This Camp Ellis cottage was the perfect summer retreat for us. The cottage is tastefully decorated and conveniently located . We enjoyed coffee on the porch, long walks on the beach,surf and turf meals on the deck and so much more! The owners thought of everything to make our vacation comfortable and memorable plus the property manager was thoughtful and so helpful. Can't wait to go back!
