New House Coming Spring 2025 5 BR 3Ba Water View!! See notes on build updates

UPDATE on Russell Cove Cottage: Sadly the 1907 version of Russell Cove Cottage had to be demolished and this was accomplished in mid October. 2025 version of the cottage to arrive in February. Interior finishing will begin directly after. Stay tuned for additional updates as milestones are met! Renderings do not show neighbors. We are in a family neighborhood and have a large yard for fun, games, and relaxing. Only a few weeks left for Summer 2025!!

The pictures are renderings of the new house based upon floor plan. Actual furniture and some other details may be different. Sleeping arrangements: will be finalized soon but with 5 bedrooms there will be plenty of options.

Ground floor bedroom will have at least a full size bed and a ground floor bath with shower.

2nd floor Primary bedroom with water view to have a 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 bedroom with 2 twin beds, one with a trundle for a total of 3 twins.
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
*GAME ROOM for hanging out watching tv on big screen television or playing games - air hockey and other games

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 will be inside now, and kids will be able to play air hockey and other 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!

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.

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.

Wonderful Time
It was everything, and more, than described in the listing. Plenty of space for large family, the large porch was a plus and became the gathering spot for everyone. We had 1 rainy day and the porch let you relax and still feel the ocean air. Very easy walk to the beach and around town. Would highly recommend for family vacation.

We had a wonderful time at this house. Everything was included so we only had to bring our clothes! The place was clean and the bedrooms were comfortable. We especially loved the screened in porch! And the proximity to the beach. Having a corner store close by was another plus. We were a group in ages of 70s, 40s and a 17 and 12 year olds. Surfing was close by so they surfed twice a day! Would love to stay there in 2025.

Great Getaway Spot!
We just finished our 11th year in a row at Russell Cove in Camp Ellis. That pretty much says it all. Quiet neighborhood ideal for walking and biking, 2 minute walk to the beach and to the corner store, and Huot's Seafood is just down the road. Grandkids have grown up here and were sad to leave. House was clean, and had all the amenities, even bedding and towels. And parking for 5-6 cars, which is more than most other rentals offer - a big plus for us. Sara is easy to reach if you have a problem. Great spot!

This is our third year staying at the Russell Cove Cottege and we once again had a wonderful time. We will be booking again for next year for sure. The cottege is clean, stocked with all the stuff you need, has a great yard, close to the beach and with a view of the Saco River. We love it and will continue to rent hopefully for years to come.

Great stay at the beach
We booked this house for a family vacation including a family of 3, a family of 4 and 2 grandparents. HOUSE- since it will be rebuilt, the important parts are that it was clean, well furnished and the host is responsive . LOCATION - perfect! Quiet neighborhood, small beach at the end of the road protected by rocks which makes it quiet for little kids, you can walk 10 min to the bigger beach that goes all the way to old orchard Corner store across the street which we visited probably every day! Lovely lobster pound just down the street where they will steam your order on request, cute restaurant and marine down the other way! Easy drive to old orchard, ogunquit, bidderford pools (a must with kids to catch some hermit crabs) I am sure the new house will be wonderful too, we are glad we got to experience the authenticity of an older family beach home with its little quirks though! Great memories were made for all

Another great year!
This is our 4th year staying at the Russell Cove Cottege and another great vacation. The property is fantastic, it is totally stocked with everything you could imagine needing which makes packing so easy because you don't have to bring a million things. The house has a great front porch and a sun room in the back which are great for hanging out. The game room is getting a little shabby, but our boys still loved it and I know it will be part of the home make over this off season. Plus the location is perfect. Not even 100 yards to standing on sand at the beach, but great view of the Saco river...it is fantastic. We will be booking again for next year!

Amazing vacation home- will be back!
We had a wonderful stay at this home. It is very well stocked and comfortable. Lots of space and common rooms. Favorite spots were the big beautiful backyard, sun room with a view, and screened in front porch. The AC throughout the house was greatly appreciated as it did get hot during our stay! Love the proximity to the ocean (under 2 minute walk) and it is so close to the cute general store. Would recommend- great for families- we will be back!

Fantastic beach vacation!
The house was great, perfect for a family. We stayed with grandparents, and two families with children 6 and under. The beach was so close and easy to go back and forth for naps and lunch. The house was well stocked with general goods, all things needed for cooking, and had so many beach supplies as well! Our host was communicative and responded to questions/concerns quickly and thoroughly. We’re hoping to stay again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Sara Russell BSN RN

Host profile image
We are a professional couple who have two AWESOME adult children. Although we are spread across the U.S., we go to great lengths to spend time together and Russell Cove Cottage is the absolute best place to enjoy family time. While the cottage as it is can no longer host vacationers beyond Sept '24 - in Sept we will begin replacement activities to bring our vacationers a beautiful new 5BR/3Bath 2500+ sq ft home with bed/bath on both levels, a dedicated laundry room, brand new kitchen with lots of counter space - our legendary beautiful views. As always, we will provide most anything your family needs for an awesome vacation! We will continue to stock paper goods, linens, toys, beach supplies etc, and also as always - we do not charge an additional cleaning fee!

Why they chose this property

Our cottage is a great mix of quintessential coastal Maine, with its quirks and oddities as well as its shear beauty. We have made every effort to make this a place where families will cherish their time together and desire to return each year. It seems we have hit the right combination as families have made their summer vacation memories here for almost 2 decades.

What makes this property unique

One way, quiet street close to the beach. Great yard, view, fire pit, picnic tables with umbrellas. Tons of great sightseeing within an hour (often much less) and the fun and excitement of Old Orchard Beach just a few miles down the road. Enjoy all the action and then come on back to Russell Cove and Camp Ellis for a family oriented evening. Or hang out for the whole day at the beach. We have everything you need to enjoy your day, and wheeled strollers to get your stuff back and forth.
