April 27 2007

Arrived at Camp Ellis Beach after a sunny drive from VT We were aware of the Nor'Easter that swept through Ellis Beach less then a week prior to our arrival But were still surprised to be greeted by mountains of sand everywhere, over flowing trashcans and debris.  We werer'nt sure we could stay the week untill we entered the "Blue Pearl" and saw how charming and clean the cozy cottage was, despite the cleanup that was going on out side all week , we had a very enjoyable relaxing visit,  our dog Grace woke us up every every sunny morning for our walks to the jetty , pier and through town.  We walked the Beach here and at Ocean Park every day and ate lots of seafood. Sue was even interviewed by Channel 13 when she was out walking Grace out on the pier.. A tourist perspective on the storm aired on Tv on the 12 and 5:00 news  all and all a memorable stay thank you to the Vivolos for sharing their cottage with us The clarks Vermont

This is our first time staying at the Blue Pear Cottage. and it is just charming! What a wonderful View..Morning..noon... and night! My husband enjoyed clamming on the beach at low tide.  I just love the waking up to the sounds  of the ocean, I find it so very relaxing and that was what i was hoping for some well deserved R+R.  I walked everyday around Camp Ellis met so many friendly people  Met Renie (pottery lady). Fishing was also relaxing for my husband unfortunatly he only got nibbles  We went to freeport , LL Bean great time.,  And Arcadia Nation park Wish we had more time We are sad to leave Maine + the cottage our first trip to Maine we are sure to come back again Thanks Sharon and Frank for the wonderful memories  The Castellis Long Island NY

Thank You Sharon and Frank for sharing this amazing and comfortable place. Althought the weather was gray and sometimes rainy, we enjoyed spending time here in your wonderful home. The beach here is perfect for collecting treasures- we spent lot of time combing the beach at low tide. Having the window seat is especially wonderful. Mom and I spent hours sitting there drinking coffee and watching it rain. We loved watching the rise and fall of the ocean, having the waves crash against the rocks while being toasty warm inside!! WE cant wait to come back! Thank you for helping make this vacation a great one. Tracy and Family
