Family friendly home in heart of Cape Porpoise

Stay in the charming heart of Cape Porpoise minutes away from two of the best beaches in the area. This historic home was built in 1866 but has modern amenities. It’s great for families (over 2,400 sq ft) with multiple options to enjoy the outdoors (garden, yard, patio, swing set & deck). Relax in the expansive king master suite, three additional queen-sized bedrooms, or cozy up in the daybed in the family room. Walk to restaurants, the harbor, & the grocer.

We loved our stay in this lovely, well-appointed home. It was perfect for our family vacation, and our toddler absolutely loved the playset and exploring the garden. Location was fabulous and close to everything we could have needed. Would absolutely rebook, and couldn’t recommend this property more.

We had a wonderful stay at this rental home. The property was clean and well-maintained, making it feel welcoming and comfortable from the moment we arrived. The location was excellent—convenient to local attractions, restaurants, and everything we needed during our visit.One of our favorite features was the lovely porch and outdoor seating area. It was the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee, relax in the evening, and take in the peaceful surroundings. The outdoor space added so much charm to the property and made our stay even more enjoyable.Overall, this is a fantastic rental home that offers comfort, cleanliness, and a great location. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to others
