Photos and Description of the Saco vacation cottage rental
- 5 BR, 1.5 BA, real beds, sheets, pillows and blankets for 9 people.

You can have a great vacation even in this economy! Do less shopping/packing and let us save you a lot of money on all of the extras provided. Ask me for details! Our vacationers can't believe how far we go to stock the cottage with anything and everything. Russell Cove Cottage has been updated with all the modern conveniences while preserving its authentic flavor and history. We have an absolutely gorgeous view of the harbor, relax with a cool drink while you watch the lobster boats bring home dinner! We are a mere one minute stroll to the beach - you can spend the day and still be close to the conveniences of the cottage - super important while with children. We have both a great yard and a wonderful game room with foosball, arcade basketball, air hockey and TV/DVD. Our village boasts gift shops, restaurants, general store, artist studio, etc. Kayak rentals, deep sea fishing and whale watches available just down the street. As if that is not enough, Old Orchard Beach is only 4 miles.

Further details: Striper fishing is great! Enjoy ice cream and gift shopping. Lobster available cooked or uncooked right around the corner. Sit on the wrap around porch greeting old friends and new as they make their way to 7 miles of beautiful beach. Or relax in the sun-room and look across the harbor as the lobster men bring home your dinner! Generations of families return year after year for the great atmosphere and fun of a true Maine ocean village. We believe that you will definitely want to come back next year, and we will warmly welcome you! See you this summer! Sleeping arrangements: 1st floor bedroom with double bed, 2nd floor bedroom with queen bed, 2nd floor bedroom with double bed, 2nd floor bedroom with two twin beds, 2nd floor bedroom with twin bed.

Camp Ellis is a beautiful, quaint coastal village in Saco with its own restaurants, lobster pounds, general store, deep sea fishing and whale watching excursions, kayak rental, and local artisans. Russell Cove Cottage sits on the harbor with glorious views of the cove and its resident lobster boats. In the morning, enjoy your coffee in the sunroom over-looking the passing sailboats, and in the evening visit outside around the fire pit before retiring to the heated comfort of the cottage. During the day, take a walk around the village, out onto the granite jetty, to the docks and along the beach.

Day trips are great opportunities for sight seeing and shopping expeditions. South to Kittery or North to Freeport for outlet shopping at its finest. Portland is a 'can't miss' with it's historic Old Port and working waterfront. You can window shop all day long and then dine onboard a floating restaurant.

Beautiful, calm and friendly - Camp Ellis awaits your visit - don't miss out!

Carol and family 2008 Vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: June 25, 2008 Stayed: June 2008
What a beautiful place. When we first looked at this web page we thought the description was to good to be true. The property was great for kids and the extras they included in the deal made packing for the seven of us a lot lighter. The house is located on a one way street full of locals. The locals are very friendly. The kids played in the bay in the backyard, and loved the huge wagon to take night walks. We will be back next year, and so on. We have rented other houses on Camp Ellis and this is by far the best in the area. The kids had a blast and we were able to relax. A couple stopped by as we were leaving because they too thought it was to good. They were hoping to rent it after seeing it also. There were flyers for local attractions and restaurants also. The kids loved the game room. The rooms were all good size. AC in all the rooms. Very clean!!!!
We look forward to our next year vacation!

WOULD USE CAUTION RENTING

1 of 5
Submitted: August 3, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
The place is great, close to beach, plenty of room. I would just be carefuly if you rent this home and want to have a little fun you are on lockdown after 10PM, Windows and doors must be closed as this cottage is located in a non rental area, neighbors have to work and complain if you are on porch after 10.
We come to Camp Ellis every year, the entire family which we usually have around 5 cottages rented, and they frown on visitors stopping by.
Also, I would be cautious to your security deposit, take pictures of everything that they could try to charge you on. Twice we rented and both times they refused to send us our security deposit and we left the place as clean as it was when we left.
Owner's Response: It is always best for renters to match their intended activities with the atmosphere of the vacation areas they are considering for rental. By doing this, renters can ensure that they have the best vacation possible while allowing homeowners the ability to safeguard their property and the reputation of their community. In the rare instance that vacationers are requested not to return to a property, the homeowner should have peace of mind that this request would be honored, rather than to have the property rented under another name. As noted, our home is a really great place. Ultimately, we are honored that families and friends enjoy returning year after year, creating cherished and lasting memories in our scenic, family oriented neighborhood.

Submitted: July 29, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
This is such a wonderful place for a family vacation! The area is FABULOUS with all kinds of fun activities, great restaurants, and a beautiful beach located at the tip of your fingers. Camp Ellis is a wonderful little community where we met several new friends during our stay. Everyone was so personable and friendly!! We couldn't have asked for better weather either....sunny and breezy every day. The cottage is spacious and has every amenity needed. If you are looking for a place to make lifelong memories with your loved ones....this is the place to be! I feel so lucky that I found this place! The owners are fabulous and were always available for any questions. Can't say enough great things about this wonderful cottage and its location!!

NEW FAMILY VACATION HOME

5 of 5
Submitted: July 11, 2011 Stayed: May 2011
We have been vacationing in Maine at the same house for over 13+ years. So TRUST me when I tell you we were heart broken when we had to find a new place to stay for the summer of 2011. Not only did this new house exceed our expectations but we cannot wait to make another 13+ years of memories here. Not only are we returning next year but my other family members who now have their own "families" will be renting an additional week after our 3 weeks of HEAVEN is over.. so we get the best of both worlds. This new vacation home is in a perfect location, in a great neighborhood and is a beautiful, peaceful, FUN home. I cannot thank the owner's enough for sharing their slice of heaven with our family!!! Already can't wait for summer 2012 to get here!!!!
