Saco Maine Beach House - Camp Ellis Beach - Saco, Maine - Now Booking for Summer 2008

Under a 2 Minute Walk to 7 Miles of Beach - 2 Master Suites, 2.5 Baths, Sleeps 7

Our home is in an awesome location!  We are 600 feet from 7 miles of beach and 600 feet from the Saco River.  It is literally less than a 2 minute walk with a loaded wagon and children to Camp Ellis Beach or Ferry Beach.  Once there, the kids will play on boogie boards and wake boards all day. Need a potty trip, no problem, you're less than 2 minutes from home!  Low tide is amazing!  So much fun walking the beach and finding treasures; sea-glass, starfish, hermit crabs, moon snails, the list is endless.  Relax and watch the children build sand castles while the sun keeps you warm and the day slips by, what a way to spend a day!  When the day at the beach is over, drag the wagon back, toss the children in the outside shower, and your 'work' is done.  Lobster from the local Lobster Pound (about a minute away) or burgers, hot dogs or chicken on the grill with veggies and clean up is a breeze.  Evenings are the best - walk the beach and harbor, rock on the front porch or relax and cook s'mores in the chimnea in our backyard.
