We had a fantastic stay in this property. Truely an amazing home. Beautifully decorated with tons of space. We were a family of 8 (Mom, Dad and 3 Adult "kids" with spouces). We had more than enough room and excellent kitchen facilitaties. The host was very responsive to all our questions. I can strongly recommend this home for any large group wanting to discover this area of the Maine coast. We also had our dog, as this is a pet friendly property.

Our second stay at Hydrangea House was as satisfying as our first. The VRBO listing is admirably detailed and accurate, but even it does not fully capture the wonderful feeling of the house and the genius of the layout. The open concept of the ground floor, combined with the high ceilings and the second floor gallery, creates a sense both of spaciousness and connectedness that is very relaxing, and is enhanced by the quality and cleanliness of the furnishings. Each of the bedrooms is lovely, and together with the reading/game nooks on both levels there is ample opportunity both to gather and for privacy. And I have never seen a rental with such a great set-up for children, with the two connecting rooms that provide multiple beds- even including two queens who want to sleep near their kids- as well as games, without being crowded. Owner Kevin is a joy to deal with, and Cape Porpoise is a great setting. 5 stars all the way!

We had 11 people, 6 adults, 4 kids ( aged 2.5 - 13) and an infant. Hydrangea house was stocked to provide something for everyone! Tubby time in the BIG deep tub was a favorite after the beach. Location is gorgeous, and close to many different activities.
Hydrangea House is the perfect spot to stay with a large group to create wonderful memories. Thank you!

Home is beautiful and communication with Kevin was very easy who was so welcoming and helpful. We loved the screened in porch area for relaxing and living space was perfect for visiting with family. We loved the Cape Porpoise area. Very laid back and close to great seafood options to go out or bring in and beach days at Goose Rocks Beach. Definitely a place we would love to stay again!

The property was wonderful. There was plenty of room and the bedrooms had king size beds for adults and a bunk room for the children. I would describe the property as professionally decorated. There was much thoughtfulness in all the small items in daily life such as tableware, white noise machines, outlets for charging phones, etc. I would highly recommend this as a vacation rental for a large family group.

We stayed at Hydrangea House for a weekend with family members of all ages for a birthday event. The house is perfect for a medium size group (small children, adults, grandparents).
Every bedroom had unique features and was well sized.
The kitchen, dining room, living room area are massive with places for people to spread out.
Games, TVs, the game room all great for getting together or relaxing in your own area.
The outdoor deck and covered porch were great additional areas to congregate.
The house was close to a ton of activities (beach, shops, hiking, walking).
Owner was super responsive to any questions and checking in was easy. Would highly recommend!

This Thanksgiving, our family based out of Chicago and Florida, decided to travel to the east coast to be together with our Boston family who needed to stay close to home because of the expected arrival of a new baby in December. Hydrangea House met all of our needs for space plus the inclusion of a family pet. The kitchen was well stocked for us to prepare a holiday dinner. It was also very helpful that the Cape Porpoise Kitchen was across the street to help with prepared sides and dessert. Kevin, our host, was very helpful with advice on grocery stores, dining options, beaches and parks. We loved our holiday and would definitely recommend a stay at this awesome home.

We enjoyed staying at this amazing home in Kennebunkport for our daughter’s wedding. It is absolutely beautifully designed, and had everything we could need or want during our stay! The space and accommodations were perfect for our family. The owner was attentive, helpful and thoughtful quickly responding to any questions I had. We vacation every year in NC on the beach and the kids kept saying they wished they had this house there! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful home with us!

We loved our stay at Hydrangeas house! Beautiful home, well-equipped, and lovely decor. We enjoyed the fire pit, the games, and plenty of space to cook and hangout. The house is right in the middle of Cape Porpoise with shopping a block away. This home couldn’t be nicer or easier to enjoy.

We rented the Hydrangea House in July 2022 for a week-long gathering of family from Maine, Maryland, and Minnesota. Having Cape Porpoise Kitchen (very good) and the small grocery a minute’s walk away was very convenient, as were the walkable restaurants. We live in Portland but hadn’t spent any time here before, but the rural, small-town atmosphere (the locals were very friendly; didn’t notice any anti-tourist sentiment all week) and coastal beauty of Cape Porpoise really won me over. The privacy of this house can’t be beat, even though it’s right in the center of town. The gathering areas are all at the back of the house facing the land preserve, so even with a houseful of people (we had 10 adults and 1 child staying at the house and had other nearby family visiting a few evenings), you aren’t going to disturb the neighbors and they won’t disturb you. The screened porch is a little piece of Heaven. We kept the bird feeder full, and were endlessly entertained by the finches, sparrows, cardinals, catbirds, hummingbirds, butterflies, and chipmunks. Sitting on the porch on a beautiful morning convinced me to book again for next year. We did lots of cooking, and the house is amply equipped. The owners are easy to reach and immediately responsive to any queries, but we really had no problems. The only inconvenience we experienced was with parking. We had 5 cars, and the garage and driveway easily hold 6, but the end of the driveway next to the road is only one car wide, so there was a lot of car shuffling when part of the party needed drive somewhere. It would be ideal if the whole driveway was two-cars wide. Other than that, this was a perfect week and we can’t wait to visit again next year!

Wonderful place to stay!
Kevin and his family thought of everything you might need for your stay. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is stocked, beach towels are provided, along with every item you might need to take with you to the beach. They provide a book of recommendations from walks to restaurants to things to do. It was great to have, particularly when you have small children. It was an absolutely amazing visit and we did not want to leave.

This was our second summer renting the house and we already booked it for next year! The house is clean, beautiful and we just love the location. We travel and share the home with our close family friends, so there are 5 kids total between us. The house exceeds our needs size wise and we have more than enough room for the kids to play, sleep and just hang out- especially in the new “secret room” as our kids call it!
The location is perfect, you have everything you need within a stones throw. We love walking around cape porpoise in the morning and the ease of grabbing coffee and breakfast sandwiches across the street can’t be beat. The general market down the street has everything you’d need and Nunan’s across the street is a great dinner spot! They also supply everything you need from kitchen gadgets to beach blankets, they even have toys in the house for the kids.
You can’t go wrong renting this house. Kevin and Lori are great, very responsive and make sure that all is perfect for your stay. Highly recommend!

Long awaited vacation
The property is beautiful, located near beaches and restaurants and shoppes. My family, 7 adults and 6 children four and under had a wonderful week at Hydrangea house. The open living space allowed us all to be together and the size of the house allowed many places for a quiet time too. So many bedrooms and bathrooms meant no waiting for a bathroom or shower, and plenty of sleeping choices. Thank you to Kevin and Lori for their hospitality and responsiveness, I hope we can come back next year!!! Highly recommend!!!

Everything about this property was just great! Loved the high ceilings, the decor, the "secret room". Wonderful location. Outdoor patio was used a lot. Even made smores over the fire pit. Kevin was fantastic to work with. The whole process couldn't have been easier. One of the most relaxing trips that I have been on. It made for a very nice family reunion. I highly recommend that you experience this home for yourself.
