About this house rental

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.

This is a lovely home that has been furnished and outfitted to give families like ours a great Maine vacation experience. Hydrangea House is big, open and airy home with plenty of room to gather or spread out. The kids love the secret room and we all love the Cape Porpoise locale. The hosts are kind and accommodating. This was was our second stay and we hope to be back next year b

The house is super clean and has a fully stocked kitchen. Beds are very comfortable and everything works. Wifi let all 9 of us do whatever we wanted. Location let us go everywhere we wanted in 10 to 15 minutes. Great lobster restaurant right across the street There is a deli and local grocery store that is a 3 minute walk away. Had an electric lock telling me it needed a battery. I let Kevin know and it was fixed within an hour. This really is a great place for a large family. We all enjoyed filling up the bird feeders and watch the birds and squirrels compete for the mix. I would highly recommend Hydragea House.

House was beautiful, clean and equipped with everything we needed plus things we didn’t know we needed (like a steamed milk maker!) House was a perfect size for five couples and a bunch of teens!
