Dipping our toes at Camp Ellis
I thought the location was perfect. In the reviews some people menitoned having issue with the restaurant next door, Huots. Neither myself or my 81 year old Mother had an issue. They also serve excellent ice cream. The discrencies on the amenities are as such. Therre was no DVD player or DVD library and I brought DVD's with us to watch. Also there was no coin operated laundry. Maybe that could be updated. Also, there was a mattress cover on one bed but not the other. Neither here or there but wanted to mention that. Everyone in the building was awesome. Kevin is the resident who lives there year around and was a font of information for us. He was very nice as were the others visiting last week. We had an awesome time and really appreciated staying here

Cute little place
Great little place,, could use more cooking utensils and mixing bowls for salad or whatever . I wanted to whip up quick batch brownies but no pans or mix bowl maybe add a 8x8’or 9x13 baking pan ? Looks different than picture as far as the chair and couch from when I first started staying here. It has become too worn and it’s not comfortable at all anymore. Maybe little freshening up with fresh paint and couple pictures would be nice. Petty stuff but just something to keep in mind . Otherwise I love the place and love sitting on the front porch. .

A happy 4th!
We had a great stay!
The only thing I would improve is the kitchen supplies. Need serving/mixing bowls, more cereal bowls and a few more forks and spoons.

Camp ellis beach stay away
When we arrived, the small space was not what we expected. It was difficult to sit 4 adults and a young child indoors and we wondered how you could possibly fit 5 adults… there are 2 queen beds, but the common area is too small to fit another adult. Also, the view of the Saco river from the front porch was replaced by a large parking lot and smelly garbages. The bungalo was very clean when we arrived, except for the very bad smell of the curtains in the front room and living room. The distance from the beach (1-2 minutes away) was good and we had lots of fun playing there. I think it’s a cute get away for 2 people ( although the area is not the most queerfriendly area), but it was not very confortable for 4 adults. We were able to use the backyard, but it was filled by the five cars parked in the yard and therefor, not very intimate or appropriate for a kid playing. Finally, there was no handsoap and not enough toilet paper as advertised.

Property has to be refresh!
The cleanliness of the apartment really left something to be desired, the photo of the outdoor terrace is not representative of realty…

Seconds from the beach but property needs attention
Only a few 100 ft from the beach! Surprisingly we could not hear much of the hustle and bustle being right next door to a busy restaurant. But the restaurtant dumpsters are right outside the property and very smelly. The property could use some updates and improvements, very worn inside appearance and the bare minimum is provided. No handsoap and very minimal kitchen essentials.
Our biggest turn off was the inability to leave the front door open to allow for fresh air to circulate the unairconditoned apartment. The deck is shared and the neighbors were constantly smoking cigarettes, and the smoke would come right in through the front door screen. Back lawn area almost unusable with cars parked so closed to the picnic table.
Great location but very little privacy.

Just right!
Looking for a great stay near the Saco Bay pier and mouth-watering seafood at a great nearby restaurant? Look no further than this 2-bedroom unit on Eastern Avenue. Your host is personable and responsive. Beds are comfy and galley kitchen functional. Highly recommend.
