Amazing place to stay, right by the water. From the private beach to the rock jetty to walk on or fish by..Just the perfect family spot to relax in. Just 5ish mins from Old Orchard beach, so just enough to be away from the craziness but close enough to easily visit for Thursday night fireworks or the Pier. Host was very responsive and the whole cottage was clean and as offered. Can't wait to go back!

Great location

It is rare to get a pet friendly rental, nevermind one that is so close to the beach. Even though we didn't use them, it has a coffee maker, toaster, oven, microwave, and rokus on two of the three televisions. Close to portland, old orchard beach, and kennebunk there is plenty to do. You can always just walk down the street to the beach or the opposite direction to the rock pier. Such a great experience.

Hidden Gem!

My family and I had the absolute best time visiting Camp Ellis beach and staying at the Clam Shell! It felt like home the moment we walked in. We had plenty of sleeping space for our three daughters. They loved the bunks! Core memory making the entire week! We also loved how clean the home was! This was our first time staying at a pet friendly rental, and we were blown away with it! The beach was steps away and you could see the ocean from the master! Communications with the owner was welcoming, friendly and so fast! We have already booked for next summer! Our puppy loved both the home and the beach! The community is super pet friendly and everyone was so nice and welcoming. Thank you for sharing with us! We loved every second!

Great Spot

Cottage was clean and comfortable. The short walk to the beach was ideal for the many walks, watching the sunrises and sunsets. Quiet and peaceful. Just perfect for my birthday weekend away!
