UPDATE on Russell Cove Cottage: Sadly the 1907 version of Russell Cove Cottage had to be demolished and this was accomplished in mid October 2024. New home is 5 bedrooms and 3 baths including an en-suite in primary king bedroom. We are in a family neighborhood and have a large yard for fun, games, and relaxing.

Please take a few minutes to read some of our reviews - we are very proud of the home we designed - every bit of it is meant for families to enjoy, and to make amazing memories to last a lifetime!

1st floor king bedroom across from full bath with shower which is great for folks who prefer not to venture upstairs.

2nd floor Primary bedroom with beautiful water view and king size bed and wait for it..... ENSUITE PRIVATE BATH with shower - I can't wait to stay here myself :)
Additional 2nd floor bedroom with queen bed and water view / another bedroom with full bed / and also another bedroom with 2 twin beds, one with a trundle for a total of 3 twins. 2nd floor full bath in addition to the en-suite bath.
Relaxation spaces:
*SUNROOM overlooking the river / bay where you will see lobster boats and likely some kayakers
*DECK adjacent to sunroom with same view
*FRONT PORCH for relaxing on street side
*BACKYARD firepit area with plenty of seating and 2 picnic tables for outdoor dining overlooking the harbor
*GAME ROOM for hanging out watching tv on big screen television or playing games - arcade basketball, air hockey, video games, and other games
*COVERED PATIO AREA with hanging porch style swings overlooking beautiful water view

We have an absolutely gorgeous view of the harbor, relax with a cool drink while you watch the lobster boats bring home dinner! We are a mere one minute stroll to the beach - you can spend the day at the beach and still be close to the conveniences of the cottage - super important while with children. We have a wonderful yard for adults and kids alike. Our gameroom is pretty amazing, and kids will play air hockey, arcade basketball, video games without being overhead of the main living area. Such a bonus when it's time to come home from the beach, when kids are waiting for parents to wake up, or in the case of rain. Our house has something for everyone! Just a few miles down the road you will find Garside's Ice Cream for old fashioned ice cream cones and sundaes!

Our village boasts gift shops, restaurants, general store, artist studio, etc. Kayak rentals, deep sea fishing and whale watches available just down the street. As if that is not enough, Old Orchard Beach is only 4 miles.

Speaking of Old Orchard: spend a day or evening where the noise and excitement is - Palace Playland, Pier Fries, Lisa's Pizza, and the Boardwalk! Then come home, away from the crowds.

6 miles away is Funtown / Splashtown for a day full of crazy rides and water activities for all ages.

20 miles away you will find all that Portland, Maine offers including a working waterfront, cobblestone streets, an eclectic Old Port, and of course the Children's Museum.

Venture further to Freeport, Maine with tons of outlet shopping! Don't miss the spectacle and adventure of the LL Bean mothership! Wouldn't be a complete day in Freeport if you don't visit Ben and Jerry's!

Further details: Striper fishing is great! Enjoy ice cream and gift shopping. Lobster available cooked or uncooked right around the corner. Generations of families return year after year for the great atmosphere and fun of a true Maine ocean village. We believe that you will definitely want to come back next year, and we will warmly welcome you!

We provide a cooler on wheels, cart for transporting beach supplies (also provided), all linens, and paper/plastic goods for your convenience.

Home will now have heat and air conditioning without having to use window air conditioners.

Dedicated laundry room for ease of use and additional comfort.

    The house was a perfect spot for eight people to stay for the UNE graduation ceremonies. It's about 30 minutes outside Portland, but the view is worth the drive. The first-floor bedroom was great for grandparents who couldn't climb the steps, and the game room kept us busy on a rainy night. The host communicated before and during our stay. We could not have asked for more and would definitely stay again!!

    This a a beautiful home in the quaint little seaside town. The home was newly renovated, and lovely! Plenty of room for our party of ten. The game room was so fun for kids and adults alike! The owner was easily accessible and very attentive. The view was amazing and it is a quick walk to the water. We went in April so it was off season, but it is walking distance to seafood shacks and all the beauty a north east seaside town has to offer. Would absolutely recommend this home for any season!

    We had a fantastic time during our Christmas family reunion at Russel Cove. The accommodations were perfect for our party of nine. The house is very well equipped. Sara was great to deal with. We definitely recommend this space to anyone looking for a place to gather in the Saco area. Thanks Sara!

    This house has everything! A beautiful view of the Saco River from both the back deck and an inviting four-season room, a large, cozy living room, a dining table big enough for a Thanksgiving feast, a kitchen large enough to prepare that feast … and that’s just the first floor! First floor also has a bedroom and full bath. Upstairs there are four more bedrooms, each with unique and fun decor, and … a game room! There are games for kids of all ages! This location is perfect for a large family, family reunion or for several couples to have a vacation. While not beachfront, the beach is a one minute walk. The general store and Huot’s restaurant a five minute walk. Despite the size this house felt cozy and inviting. We would definitely stay again!

    Beautiful home! Kitchen had all that we ever needed. The outside space was great. It was a bit chilly when we were there so they playroom and games were a huge hit. The 4 seasons room was magnificent. There was ample space for everyone. The views were beautiful! I would highly recommend this home!

    The house was exactly as advertised and perfect for the weekend we had in mind. The extremely short walk to the beach made it very easy to spend time there without needing to pack coolers and bags, with easy bathroom and snack access back at the house. There was plenty of parking for my friends who drove from all over and we had tons of space inside as well. Our only complaint was with the oven, which cooked fine but did require some upfront learning on how to control it and ensuring it stayed on. Once we figured it out, we enjoyed some fresh caught white fish that we caught Friday morning. I would strongly recommend this home for your trip.

    This is the second summer in which we have stayed at Russell Cove cottage in Saco’s Camp Ellis. Once again we loved our time on the southern Maine coast. The brand new home which replaced the original cottage this year is terrific. The property owners are detail-oriented and in this rebuild they definitely got all the details right!The location of the property cannot be beat with water views from both the front porch and back patios and decks, including covered space in the back yard. The interior views from the windows are just as magnificent. A year ago we were beyond satisfied with the property and our stay. It is hard to believe that the new house made this year’s visit even more special. The property owners are attentive and responsive in every respect and we hope to return to this beautiful home in such a lovely setting for many summers to come. Thank you once again for allowing us the pleasure and privilege of enjoying your wonderful beach home!

    We had visited the old Russell Cove cottage a few years back, this new house is simply amazing. Can’t beat the location to the beach, and this house has all the amenities you could ever need. Sara is truly an exceptional host who is very responsive to any question or inquiry. Would love to come back and visit again in the future!

    The home is absolutely stunning! Clean, new with everything you need. The rooms were all beautifully decorated. The home is huge with very comfortable beds. The back yard not only had an awesome view, but the kids loved it. Short walk to beach and short drive to OOB. I would 100% highly recommend this home.

    We were all really impressed with this house. The views and location can’t be beat. The Camp Ellis neighborhood has a pleasant vacationy vibe with a mix of houses and businesses, and the beach is right there. The main area of the house and a couple bedrooms look out to a peaceful scene of boats on the river. The house itself was just renovated (or rebuilt) and easily accommodated our group of ten. There were several zones for hanging out both indoors and outdoors. Shades and heat pumps made it easy to customize the light and temperature in each room. The game room was a great distraction for kids and certain others. Under the house (it is raised on columns) was a shower, lots of beach equipment, porch swings, and, very usefully, a laundry line. We have stayed at several rental houses, and this one stood out, with the details indicating experienced hosts. Nightstands with lamps! Places to put your clothes! And probably my dad’s favorite: nightlights. Also other small things that are not thrilling but you notice when they are not there. The kitchen was roomy and well-equipped and the dining room table could actually fit us all. Everyone loved this place and we hope to come back next year!

    We were the first family to stay at the NEW Russell Cove Cottage and it was fantastic. A modern house cannot have the charm of an old cottage, but it more than makes up for it in amenities! The new house has a beautiful open concept kitchen, living room, dining room that opens out onto a deck overlooking the Saco River. The new game room is fantastic, the new beds are super comfortable, new laundry room, the central A/C is wonderful, the front porch and patio are spacious and great areas to hang out. All this and a 2 minute walk to the beach! We had an amazing time!
