A wonderful comfortable home
The home is very comfortable and nicely appointed; there is nothing we needed that wasn't there for us. It is also in a great location! You can walk a short distance to pick up cooked lobster to take home. A bit further and you can find a wonderful seafood restaurant where you can sit inside/outside or take their their dishes home to enjoy.

Charming, Peaceful Harbor-View Cottage
This idyllic cottage boasts a captivating view of Cape Porpoise harbor from the comfortable rocking chairs on the front porch. It’s perfectly situated in a quaint fishing village just minutes from downtown Kennebunkport and lovely Goose Rocks Beach. The village of Cape Porpoise has wonderful restaurants, markets, art galleries, and shops, all within walking distance. This magical cottage is fully appointed, superbly decorated, quiet and comfortable. What a dream vacation this was to unwind and unplug with friends, and to explore one of the most beautiful spots the New England coast has to offer. Hosts Brian and Michael are friendly, responsive, and welcoming. They have created a warm and inviting getaway that will surely be a favorite destination of ours for years to come.

My husband and I just returned from a week long stay with our friends at this magical property. It is such a special spot… The views from both the front porch and the backyard are drop dead gorgeous, the gardens are stunning and the house itself is beyond lovely. The second we pulled into the driveway I could feel the stress melting away…. I could’ve stayed for a month. Communication with Brian, the owner of the house, was stellar. He had great suggestions and always responded very quickly whenever I had a question. The town of Cape porpoise is walking distance and has a wonderful takeout market and a couple of little restaurants. I have not even one tiny negative thing to say about this wonderful place and I cannot wait to go back. It’s perfection.

Five star stay and location!
We could not visit Maine last year due to C-19. The hosts we flexible on a refund or credit for 2021. This is a great cottage on a quiet street in the Village of Cape Poprosie about a 5 min. ride to Kennebunkport. You really do not need to leave here as a local grocery store, deli/ bakery to go market and several restaurants. There is a great local seafood market about 100 yards from this charming cottage where they will steam your lobster to go as well as great oysters, mussels and fish. The cottage is very nice with a well-equipped kitchen, desk area and tv, living room and huge dining room. The master is upstairs with a huge updated bath as well as a nice deck with Weber gas grill and a beautiful yard and back studio/ room to play games etc. The cottage has great bedding, is fully stocked, and is spotless. The hosts are great and when I called about a minor plumbing issue it was resolved within 5 hours. Very quiet area, with great water views, and a lovely front porch. We plan on a return trip in 2022!

Last Hurrah
We absolutely love 35 Langsford. This was our second stay in a year. The place is vintage Maine; views are dreamy; Brian and Michael are the ultimate hosts; every guests need has been anticipated. This time the Fish Market across the street was open and we had sumptuous Maine lobster and clams steamed to perfection. We are so happy we could stay here one last time before this charmer is transformed into something bigger and newer. Treasured memories!

Fall in Love with Maine
We have been to Maine numerous times, but this is the first time in the fall. What a wonderful time to visit with the crisp air and gorgeous colors all around. The cottage was fabulous. Owners thought of everything to make it a really comfortable stay. The location with the waterviews is hard to beat. Cape Porpoise is off the beaten path enough to be completely relaxing yet gives you the ability to get to the busy downtown area easily. The only thing that may have made it slightly more perfect is an outdoor fire pit!

Magnificent, Magical
This was the loveliest property we have ever stayed at. We were there in late September and we lucked out- the weather was fantastic. This home is absolutely charming, furnished beautifully (like something you see in a magazine!), comfortable beds, a kitchen that was fully supplied, washer/dryer, a front porch with 2 rocking chairs, a backyard deck and grill. It has everything you could possibly want/need for a vacation stay. The neighborhood is delightful: across from the cove, a beautiful street just a few short blocks away from 2 fabulous stores and 2 restaurants, one being the famous Nunan’s. We could not have dreamed of anything better. And the owner, Brian, was communicative and easy to deal with. You will love this place! I just hope that after this review, it won’t be so fully booked that I can’t get in again!

Perfect Getaway
Our stay at 35 Langsford could not have been a more perfect escape from reality. A lovely and comfortable Maine cottage in a picturesque and quiet setting, yet so close to everything...Brian and Michael have anticipated their guests' every need. Fully stocked kitchen fit for a gourmet cook, very comfortable beds and common area seating, excellent internet access and, though compact, plenty of space to stretch out even though we were two couples. We loved it and will be back! Constance and Crew

Charming cottage and village
We absolutely love this cottage! It is charming and beautifully furnished. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are beautifully renovated, and the AC and wifi work great. We did not expect to use the additional cottage behind the house, but my teenage daughter loved having her own space and spent most of her time out there reading. Our favorite part of the day was having morning coffee on the front porch, watching the lobster boats come and go. Cape Porpoise is a tiny village, but has so much to offer - a local grocery store, a specialty food market and coffee shop, a handful of great restaurants, a seafood market, and a great shop selling locally made housewares. It is just minutes from downtown Kennebunkport, 30 minutes from Ogunquit, and short drives to several local beaches and restaurants. We hope to go back someday!

Perfect Maine Getaway
This was our second stay at 35 Langsford Road in Cape Porpoise, Maine. And as with our first stay, we were reluctant to leave and regretted that we had not managed a longer stay (this latest stay was one week long). As many who have stayed here before us have said, this is paradise in Maine. The house manages to be both low key elegant and down-to-earth comfortable. It's very attractively furnished with many touches showing how much the owners love their home. We were here during the peak of fall foliage and although we did our share of leaf peeping via car, we loved to return to the house to sit in the rockers on the front porch. We also loved sitting on the banquette in the kitchen streaming foreign films or in the living room listening to some of the CDs we had brought with us and playing Scrabble. We would have also sat outside on the side porch or in the backyard, as we did on our last trip in August 2015, but it was a bit chilly for this in mid-October 2019. We also did a bit of antique and junkique shopping (Antiques USA on route 1 and the flea market just across the road) accumulating 10 bags of "goodies" to take home. Don't miss a trip to Ogunquit Museum of Art, about a 30 minute drive away, even if you have only a short stay as we did. Beautiful location with a small permanent collection and several non-permanent, almost always interesting, exhibitions. Favorite restaurants on this trip: Mabel's, Pier 77, Stripers at the Breakwater Inn, Tides. The last three are great at sunset with a table beside the window. Mabel's is the quintessential lobster place - very "down home". This was supposedly one of George Bush's favorite places. Across the street from Mabel's is a wonderful shop, Dannahs, filled to the gills with treasures - bath products, unique jewelry and accessories, unusual gift items for the house. Finally, Bradbury's market is only five minutes away. It's a great place to do your shopping, For those addicted to the NY Times on Sunday, Bradbury's always seems to have a good supply. The center of Kennebunkport is just a 15 minute drive away where there are loads of shops, cafes and restaurants. Parking can be difficult. Go early in the morning or late in the afternoon to park in the lot right in the center of town. Finally, the church at the head of Langsford Road has a thrift shop open for a few hours three days a week (hours posted outside). Great little place for treasure hunting.

Spectacular
The house was everything I hoped it would be and more. There is something to be said about sitting in a rocking chair on the porch in your PJs in the morning, sipping a cup of tea, and gazing out at the harbor and the rising sun. And then there is lounging in the backyard in the evening sipping vodka while watching the sun set over the marsh. Hard to decide which is the more relaxing. Add to that the mere 2 minute walk across the street to pick up steamed and ready to eat lobster and corn on the cob. . . . and it's like I said - everything I hoped for and more.
