Cozy Oceanfront Mermaid Haven

Wake up to panoramic views of the Atlantic at Mermaid Haven, a freshly updated two-story beachfront cottage tucked along the shore in charming Camp Ellis. Recently painted and thoughtfully refreshed with new furniture and comfortable beds, this inviting coastal retreat blends modern comfort with classic Maine charm—perfect for families, couples, or small groups.

Start your mornings with coffee on the private oceanfront deck as the sun rises over the water, and ease into the day with the sound of waves just steps away. After a day on the beach, gather for happy hour on the deck, where ocean breezes and golden sunsets set the perfect backdrop for relaxing evenings.

Inside, the bright and open main level is designed for comfort and connection, featuring a cozy living area with a pull-out sofa, a fully equipped kitchen for home-cooked meals, a convenient half bath, and in-unit laundry. Upstairs, you’ll find two inviting bedrooms and a full bath. The primary bedroom offers a plush full sized bed, while the second bedroom features a twin trundle—ideal for kids or additional guests. A twin sleeper chair in the loft provides flexible sleeping arrangements for up to six guests.

Beyond the cottage, Camp Ellis offers a laid-back coastal vibe with local seafood, a working harbor, and seasonal festivals that bring the community to life. Spend your days exploring the shoreline, joining a scenic sailboat tour, or simply relaxing by the water. You’re also just a short drive from the lively boardwalk and amusements of Old Orchard Beach and the renowned dining, breweries, and shops of Portland.

Whether you're enjoying a beach day filled with games, heading out for a coastal adventure, or unwinding with a sunset drink on the deck, Mermaid Haven delivers the ultimate Maine seaside experience.

Great little spot on a cove right across from a kid friendly beach, with two nice decks to sit and enjoy the view. It’s a great little house, and walking distance to a general store/sandwich shop (with the best lobster rolls we’ve ever had!!!) and a clam shack with a nice outdoor bar and patio. Will definitely be back!

Mermaids Haven was a delightful cozy cottage and it was the cleanest rental we have ever had. Beach was great for kids. Not sure how we would have accommodated 6 adults, but for the 2 of us it was fine. Friendly owners at Saco General Store and good eats.

We had such a wonderful stay at this cottage! It was incredibly comfortable and made excellent use of the space with thoughtful storage throughout, so it never felt cramped—even with two adults and two kids. The kitchen was fully stocked with every appliance and everything we needed to cook meals during our stay.The location is what truly makes this place special. Being right on the beach was amazing, and Camp Ellis is one of our favorite vacation spots. Between the general store, the nightly ice cream truck, and Huot’s just steps away, we barely had to get in the car all week. It made for such an easy, relaxing family vacation.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable beach getaway in a truly special location.
