This house is one of several I rent in Saco (Ferry Beach, Camp Ellis & Bayview); in Old Orchard Beach and in Pine Point. All are on Saco Bay at the ocean. Some homes allow pets.
Ferry Beach & Camp Ellis are quaint areas, catering to families, sandy beaches (smaller one at Camp Ellis), unspoiled by high rises.
At Ferry Beach & Camp Ellis, when you go to the beach and have to go back for lunch, etc., you will not need to bring your blanket or chairs back. No one will touch them when you’re gone. It’s that type of a beach and area catering to families. Families return here year after year for vacations.
Camp Ellis is a "Fishing Village" area….now dotted with newly-remodeled. It is still an active fishing area for commercial lobstermen & fishermen. You can go over to the dock and watch both fishing vessels and pleasure boats. Nearby is the Camp Ellis General Store which features daily lobster catch during season & will cook to perfection while you wait or return to pick them up. They also serve breakfast. In Camp Ellis you can also buy lobsters at "boat prices directly from our friend & neighbor. You’d have to cook them yourself if bought from him.
Whale watching & deep-sea fishing boats leave from the docks in Camp Ellis. Kayak rentals are nearby for use on the Saco River, which goes out to the ocean at Saco Bay. Boats for deep-sea fishing & whale watching also leave Camp Ellis docks.
