When you enter the apartment you can smell an odor coming from the bathroom. This apartment does not have a Water View, Ocean View, and is not Oceanfront or Waterfront as listed…to get any ocean views you have to walk down the small road with constant traffic of cars. The owner writes about being “steps from Saco Bay’s 7 miles of Sandy Beach”, but fails to mention it’s only accessible at low tide… the beach that you walk to at the end of the road is small and was super Packed! I was unable to Access the beach to walk with my pup, because of the tide. After trying for two days, I decided to leave, 4 days early. (Walking my pup in the neighborhood… a very nice resident informed me that I would need to drive up the road to Ferry Beach to get access when its high tide.) I was very fortunate to find a pet friendly place that was on the beach side where I could walk for miles with my little pup. VRBO has tried to reach the property owner/host for two weeks, but he has not responded. Very expensive lesson learned… if you don’t see pictures that clearly show what is listed….beware..

Camp Ellis at its best. Short walk to the beach. Quiet, 10 minute drive to OOB if you want some excitement. Would definitely rent again. GREAT hosts!

Loved it. Our 2 Newfoundlands my husband and I enjoyed it so much..was beautifully remodeled had everything you could need..our only regret is we didn't book 2 weeks...

We had booked our September getaway in February and had been counting down the days to this vacation since we love Maine so much. The spot was perfect for 2 adults and our dog. Truth be told we picked this spot since it was dog friendly, and they are hard to find near the coast! There are several other units in the building as well and everyone else had their dog(s) with them too, so I know we were not alone. All the neighbors were respectful of noise and shared their tips on what they had been doing in the area as well so we could all make the most of our time there. The unit looked exactly like the pictures and was clean and the kitchen well stocked with what we needed for appliances to get by for the week without eating out for every meal. We look forward to going back again!

Me, my husband, and two kids stayed the week. It was a small, but perfect vacation for us. The open layout helped it not feel cramped. The house was nicely decorated and clean. The location was excellent. We could walk to the jetty and go fishing or enjoy the views, kayak in the ocean or Saco river, or take the one minute walk to the beach and spend the day. It is right next-door to a seafood restaurant, which was delicious! You can occasionally smell the seafood, or hear them calling out order numbers, but even being from the suburbs, this did not bother us at all! There’s a little picnic table and grill we could use for dinners. Great neighborhood to walk or ride your bike. I would encourage people to bring beach chairs and, lots of extra towels, washcloths, a bath mat, and door mat (to help with sand control). Overall a great find!

Such a great experience. The apartment had everything we needed and was close to everywhere we wanted to go. The kitchen was full equipped and we cooked most of our meals. Everyone was so friendly and our host Patrick was the best. We hated leaving and will definitely be back. I highly recommend Patrick’s place at Camp Ellis!

This property was surface clean only.

The one bedroom apartment was perfect for our family with a pull out sofa. It was sparkly clean and the owner has a decorators touch. The open kitchen area made it a pleasure to cook in and the fridge and freezer are large. Adorable and we felt at home. The owner was quite gracious with timely responses to any questions. W loved playing family games at sunset on the picnic table right outside our door. A lovely treat of a retreat!!!💦

Do not hesitate to book this. Everything about it is perfect

Location is fabulous for beaching out, can see the water from the front step. Nice size for a couple, and really appreciative that we could bring our older bull terrier along. Furnishings were generally fine, though the tiny bedside tables (8” square, no place for eyeglasses, etc.) were an odd choice. Huots is right next door: we weren’t bothered by the cooking odors but appreciated getting fried clams, scallops, haddock for easy meals. Convenient to OOB attractions, but quiet away from the hustle & bustle.

Great place, safe, clean and convenient.

Everything was perfect! The unit was clean and they even supplied the linens! The only thing we wished we had was a microwave. Best week ever!!

Perfect for a quite and relaxing beach getaway. Enjoy convince of the condo to the beach .

Beautiful studio, superbe décoration, everything you need to enjoy your stay! Patrick is great host! The local are very nice! Safe neighborhood! You will fall in love!

Everything was OK except the restaurants window. All day long have to smell the fry fish

condo was perfect, clean and just steps from the beach! would definitely rent again

Cute place near everything needed to have a great vacation

The apartment was clean, had all the amenities mentioned and located steps away from the beach. We would go back tomorrow if we could. Very relaxing. Make sure to go to Camp Ellis General store for your sandwiches. They are great!

This cute condo was immaculate and thoughtfully outfitted, with dimmer switches for overhead lights and fans and plenty of hooks and a bowed curtain rod in the bath. I brought my puppy - who loved the beach! - and hosted a parade of visitors who enjoyed their introduction to Camp Ellis. Patrick was responsive when we needed a few things and the neighbors were friendly and welcoming. We’re already planning our next trip!

My partner and I stayed at Patrick's property for a beautiful week in August and it completely met our expectations. Patrick is very responsive and check-in was super easy. The unit was so clean and was the perfect size for my partner and I, as it is usually hard to find one bedroom vacation homes. The picnic table outside provided a lovely place to hang after the beach with our dog, read a book, and eat take-out from Huot's. As described, the beach is a very very close walk, and a few blocks away we rented kayaks for a quick trip up the Saco River. Portland and Freeport are an easy drive, and there are many great restaurants in the area. Highly recommended!
