CLOSE TO THE BEACH ON QUIET STREET - Across the street from salt marsh that can have breathtaking sunsets and wildlife. Bald eagles have been seen numerous times.

During the summer we ask that guests check in and out on SATURDAYS only, unless prior ok.

Tucked away on one of the quietest streets in Camp Ellis, away from all the crazy traffic, yet close to the beach.

A beautiful, knotted pine cottage that has a bit of a northern woods cabin look, yet only a short walk to beach and the Saco River.

Open space living area (23' x 15') with 65" LED tv, full size couch (pull out queen), and love seat on one side. TV has HD antenna for local channels. Bring your Netflix, Amazon accounts to watch others.

Kitchen area that is well equipped, with dining room table for 4. Full size refrigerator/freezer, microwave, dishwasher and more.

Spacious bedroom with King size bed makes resting for your next day easy. Includes a high wall mounted smart LED tv to be able to watch as you settle in for the night.

Adjoining alcove for a young child has a convertible couch to bed (full size) with a smart television in it (not recommended for adult).

2 air conditioners.

Outside has a propane grill, 2 chairs, a small table, picnic table, a towel drying rack, a storage tote with beach chairs (while they last) and beach toys, etc. Small yard (approx. 200 sq ft). Also includes bike rack (with cover in case of rain).

Walk to local restaurant, close to Old Orchard, Biddeford Pool, shopping outlets and theme parks.

View the tidal marsh at high tide right from the picnic table outside while you are grilling your dinner on a summer evening. Walk to a local restaurant that many say have the best fried scallops they have ever had in their lives.

The beach is great for relaxing or building sandcastles. Find many treasures while walking from sea glass to sand dollars. You may even spot a harbor seal nearby. A short walking distance from the beach will bring you to a mile long rock jetty for fishing and sunset pictures. You may even get to watch a tuna (up to 700 lbs or more)being unloaded from a local fisherman onto a truck to be sent to Japan

Paddleboarding, Jet skiing, fishing charters and more business have been running right out of the pier the last few seasons.

3 minute drive to Old Orchard Beach with many shops and an amusement park. 10 to 15 minute drive to 2 theme parks such as Fun Town Splash Town, Aquaboggen, Drive-In, daily flea markets, shops and restaurants.

About the host

Hosted by John and Roxanne Molina

Host profile image
Hosted by the Molina's. A couple that lives in Camp Ellis. We try to make our cottage as comfortable as we can for our guests, as we live here as well.

Why they chose this property

Camp Ellis is a bit like an old Village going back into the olden days. There is basically only 1 road into the village that ends up circling around the village and back out. There are about 80 cottages in this area. Some of the lobsterman and fishermen have been here for decades. One will cook them right outside his house for you.

We wanted a place where we could bring our children every summer. They can walk the area with little worry of traffic. They can go to the general store and get an ice cream cone, go crabbing off the jetty or look for sand dollars at low tide.

we couldn't have found a better place in Maine near a beach to raise our family.

Very quiet area in relationship to others like Wells and Ogunquit. 100 people on the beach in the summertime during the week is considered crowded.

What makes this property unique

A nice dead end street, that gets little traffic, yet 900 feet from the beach.
