About this property

Luxury 5 Bed 4 1/2 Bath - Family Friendly, walk to town, close to beaches

Hydrangea House is the perfect New England escape for large families and groups. Five bedrooms in total with 3 master suites. Beautiful inside and out-- quality landscaping, a perennial garden, a fenced area with fire pit, deck and a screened porch. Also a 2 stall garage, parking for 6 cars, **TESLA Charger**. Rented by the week Saturday-Saturday in prime season (late June to Labor Day). During the off season we rent for a minimum of 2 nights.

The house is fully heated and cooled with a state of the art mini-split system which allows you to control the temperature in every room. Enjoy a fully stocked kitchen with a 5 burner gas stove, all stainless steel appliances & dishwasher, custom cabinets & a large Island with breakfast bar. Quartz counter tops complete the kitchen. Two sets of sliding glass doors lead to the large screened porch with cathedral ceilings, a long deck with a Weber double gas grill with direct propane feed and large table for eating, a fire pit, horseshoe pit and fenced-in outdoor area. Between the cathedral ceiling dining room and open great room is a large gas fireplace with remote topped with a Large flat screen TV. Of course, wireless Internet is offered throughout the house (5G). The large open great room has ample seating with a full couch and loveseat, 4 chairs and a game table all in colors of white, navy, apple green and pops of coral. There is a laundry room with washer and dryer and a powder room downstairs with access to the 2 car garage. Two large master suites w/full baths complete the downstairs; one with a stand alone soaking tub and both with double sinks and large closets. Both have flat screen TVs.
Finished Bonus Room with "SECRET" door! We have finished the bonus room above the garage and added a foosball table and 2 built in twin beds.
Three more bedrooms & 2 full baths complete the upstairs: one large King, one Queen with its own ensuite bath with shower and a "family room" with a queen bed, a single bed and a twin bunkbed. Hydrangea has wood floors throughout with in-room area rugs for comfort. Low country front porch allows you to watch the comings and goings of small town Cape Porpoise or you can retreat to the totally private fenced back yard which backs up to the forever wild preserve land of the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust.
The house is a 1 minute walk to Cape Porpoise Square, Musette Restaurant, Nunan's Lobster Shack, Cape Porpoise Kitchen---best muffins ever with your morning coffee or latte--and Bradbury's market. Two houses up Langsford Rd., you find the wonderful Farm & Table gourmet shop and along Pier Road you will enjoy the Wright Gallery, featuring works of many highly regarded local artists. Stroll past the scenic harbor and up to the pier for great food and libations at Pier 77 Restaurant, the locals favorite--The Ramp sports bar-- and Cape Porpoise Chowder House for fresh, made to order seafood. While there, be sure to enjoy views of the Harbor, the surrounding Islands, Turbatts creek, and the view toward the Bush family compound at Walkers Point. Also make sure you watch the Goat Island light at the Lighthouse, listen for the melodic fog horn, and watch the lobstermen and fishermen bring in their catch.
If you want more to do, Goose Rocks beach is 3.6 miles away, Kennebunkport & Dock Square are 2.5 miles away filled with local artisan shops and top restaurants. Take the drive from the house to Kennebunkport via Ocean Avenue to pass the Bush compound and see if the are in residence (The family crest flag will indicate). There is local theatre, (Ogunquit playhouse), outlet malls in Kittery, and the never locked doors of LL Bean in Freeport, 40 minutes north. Or take a short ride to other scenic seaside villages of Ogunquit and York, to the south, or a foodie's delight--Portland--just 30 minutes north. Along with the beaches, Pirates cove mini golf and the boardwalk and rides in Old Orchard Beach, riding the old trolleys at the Trolley Museum, candlepin bowling, the arcade and the Goldenrod at York Beach where you can watch them make the homemade taffy in the window. If it rains there is the IMAX in Saco, museums in Portland or games near the fire at your luxury home rental.

Amazing stay in Cape Porpoise!

Our family of 6 (2 adults and 4 children ages 6-15) had an incredible time at this property even in chilly March temperatures. We are very familiar with Kennebunkport, but less so with this part of town and it was so lovely. The house is beautiful, spacious, and comfortable. Our kids loved all the options for sleeping, and the game room was a hit. Everything you could need and more in the kitchen and beyond. We will be back!

Friend prelude getaway

There were 10 of us and we all had our own beds to sleep in which is great. The house is super cool, clean and nicely put together. We were there for the prelude and albeit the house was not walkable to dock square it was easy to drive there. Rides/shuttles were challenging but it was a busy weekend so that is understandable. If we go next year we will Plan that a bit better. The house is great and we had a wonderful time.
