About this property

Sleeps 24 in beds. Book 2024 --almost sold out! Or book for 2025-- now open!


3 and 4 Porpoise Place are located in downtown Cape Porpoise, an ideal location for family reunions, or similar gatherings such as Kennebunkport Christmas Prelude, etc. Two newly constructed homes--Chickadee Cottage and Lupine Lane--can be rented separately (or together to sleep 42). Each house sits on 3/4 acre of land next to each other.

THIS LISTING IS FOR LUPINE LODGE which has 10 bedrooms, plus a den with a king sized sofa sleeper with doors that close for privacy. Downstairs there are two bedrooms with King sized beds, one with a Queen, and one bedroom with a Full and twin bed. There are two full baths and two powder rooms on the first floor of Lupine Lodge. Upstairs Lupine lodge has 6 more bedrooms, two with King beds, two with Queen Beds (the Queen bedrooms have private bath ensuites with showers), one with twin bunk beds and a daybed and the last with a Full and twin bed. There are two more full baths upstairs. So, this totals 6 full baths and 2 powder rooms.
Downstairs there is a massive 40 foot Great Room with two fireplaces, two screened porches and a large deck. Lupine Lodge has a new state of the art kitchen with all stainless appliances and granite countertops. Lupine has an oversized Weber gas grill with a direct gas feed so you will never run out of fuel!

* Located off of Langsford Road in the quintessential fishing village of Cape Porpoise, Maine, Lupine Lodge offers you plenty of upscale amenities to host your next corporate event, family reunion, or a just a family vacation.
* If Lupine is more room than you need consider newly constructed Chickadee Cottage (VRBO listing 711512) which has the same amenities and sleeps 13.
* If you need to sleep 40 you can rent both homes (See VRBO listing #645382).
* If you want to take advantage of Porpoise Place for an event, both Chickadee Cottage and Lupine Lodge have to be rented together (See VRBO listing #645382). There is also a site for a tent or other facility for your gathering; contact the owner for further information about renting Porpoise Place for your event. PLEASE NOTE : THE REQUIRED 3 NIGHT OFF SEASON MINIMUM IS ABSOLUTE--no rental less than 3 nights will ever be considered for this property.


And while located in the very heart of Cape a Porpoise within two blocks of town center, the house is surrounded by woods and natural Maine habitat. Walk behind the house on your own path to Bradbury’s market or the Church on the Cape. Or walk two blocks on the sidewalk to the ever popular Wayfarer Restaurant, the Captains restaurant for great seafood and home made desserts, or Cape Porpoise kitchen for morning pastries and coffee, take out sandwiches for your beach picnic, or take out prepared foods for dinner. Nunan’s Lobster is 4 blocks away and the Cape Porpoise Ice Cream shop is a dangerous 3 blocks from Porpoise Place. Or head up the street 2 blocks to Langsford Road Lobster and wait while they cook the freshly caught lobster you just picked out. If you are up for a half mile walk or bike ride you can head up Pier Road, enjoying beautiful views of CP Harbor, until you arrive at the working fishing/lobstering pier where you can watch the fishermen in action, sit out on the benches and view Goat Island Lighthouse, listen to the melodious fog horn, launch a kayak or indulge in the three renowned eateries–upscale Pier 77 with gorgeous views of the harbor, The Ramp, a very popular bar with lots of sports and other memorabilia, including autographs all over the walls of some of sport’s most acclaimed…and of course, George and Barbara Bush, or Cape Porpoise Chowder House where your food is made to order and brought out to you to eat while watching the boats and harbor.

If you want to head to the beach, you can buy your weekly pass right at the town haLL in Kennebunkport or at the Kiosks at the beaches themselves. lf you want more beaches-- 3 miles in the other direction is Kennebunk, Gooch’s & Mother’s beaches. And if the restaurants and shops in Cape Porpoise aren’t enough, drive less less than 3 miles to highly acclaimed Earth restaurant at Hidden Pond (reservations book up weeks in advance so keep that in mind), the Tides at Tides Beach Club or check out the 50 plus ice cream flavors at Goose Rock’s dairy. And don't forget about DOCK SQUARE, Kennebunkport's bustling village just 2 miles away. With its numerous restaurants, shops, rental boats and site seeing, it is a perennial favorite.

Lovely Home
We had a group of 13 famly members who had been traveling together for several days before arriving a Deborah's property. We all loved the spaciousness of the common areas plus plenty of bedrooms AND bathrooms to accomodate us. The two porches and the fire pit were especially enjoyed. Deborah proved herself to be a very considerate hostess, even dealing with an issue while out of the country for her son's wedding. We really appreciated her helping to make our stay great!

What a Beautiful Property for a 65th Birthday Weekend!
My husband’s group of friends have been together since high school and we’ve had a tradition of all going away together on each monumental birthday (every 5 years) since their 40th I believe. This year was the most monumental as his group all turned 65. After lots and LOTS of ideas of where to go we settled on Kennebunkport and Deborah’s rental. Oh my gosh we’re we delighted with our choice. The photos are great, but I will honestly tell you it’s so much prettier in person! The property was absolutely immaculate. This is my very first time using a short-term rental company and I was a bit nervous as to not what the group would think. My concerns quickly disappeared upon walking through the door! The outside, is deceiving and you would have no idea how BIG the inside is! Everyone had their own bedroom (couples along with singles!) and bathrooms were either privately off the bedroom or just outside each of the bedroom doors. The main area was stunning and stocked amazingly well with everything from lobster pots to 2 coffee makers to beach towels and board games. It was an easy walk to the adorable corner grocery, to the ocean, to a number of great restaurants. It was a lovely weekend with a few showers but we were all so content staying indoors during the stormy times playing board games or sitting on one of the two large screen porches. Without a doubt I would HIGHLY recommend this property! Thank you Deborah for the most memorable stay!

Beautiful, clean, and amazing location!
My group of 12 friends enjoyed our long weekend at this beautiful property. The home is w ery well appointed with stunning decor, well-equipped kitchen, and fabulous location! The owner and property manager were available forvsny communication, butvwe barely needed them. We loved the quiet neighborhood, took lots of walks, went shopping nearby, and were very comfortable sleeping all 12 people in their own rooms! Highly recommend this property and would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Davis

Host profile image
Former "Corporate America", I retired after 30 years and started designing, building and renting seasonal beach homes in Cape Porpoise village. I employ ONLY local people to help provide work for many who could not otherwise afford to stay in the Village that we all cherish. In my former life, we moved 12 times for my job, and I traveled extensively all over the world. From this I learned what I liked and didn't like staying "away from my home". I designed Lupine Lodge and Chickadee with those learnings in mind, trying to anticipate needs. I am sure I will get feedback about what to change or add etc, and I will always continue to try to improve.

Why they chose this property

A little house in town on over 1.5 acres came up for sale. The house was not up to code and could not be altered in size or location, and needed considerable work to make it clean and safe. So, the house came down and I created a private road--Porpoise Place off of Langsford Road. That private road now leads to two private driveways--one to Chickadee Cottage and one to Lupine Lodge. Both sit far back on the lot and overlook forever wild. Yet, 1-3 blocks away are 4 restaurants, a fish house, a market, an ice cream store, the library, an art gallery, and a wonderful gift shop--Farm + Table, etc. You can walk 1/2 mile to the Pier where here are 3 more restaurants, a working lobster pier and a gorgeous view of the ocean and Goat Island Lighthouse.
And in a 2-4 mile drive you have access to the most popular Kennebunk beaches--Goose Rocks, Kennebunk Beach, Mother's Beach, Gooch's beach, Colony beach.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location!!!!
Upscale, thoughtful amenities through the houses with many places to gather in large or small groups.
Quintessential Maine village!
