Spend the day in any of the above activities then come back to our clean, serene cottage to rest up for your next adventure. Enjoy nature watching or read a good book from the lawn chairs.

No need to pack a lot , we supply most amenities like paper towels, toilet paper, toothbrushes, soap, shampoo and cream rinse, first aide kit, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, dish detergent, trash bags, basic spices and condiments, coffee, tea, and sugar to get you started on your vacation.
Polly’s Place is one of 2 houses that share a 5 acre private property located back off the road with a mixture of trees and lawn. This cottage was built by our Aunt Polly and Uncle Hans. We lived in it for years while building our forever home in the back of the property. It’s quiet here with a peacefulness you feel being close to nature.
Polly’s Place features a full size kitchen and dining room, a large comfortable living room, two bedrooms, a large bathroom, office area, and laundry area. All bedrooms have blackout shades. The night sky is pitch black perfect for stargazing. Enjoy the large yard area and gas grill. There’s no need to pack sheets and towels since all linens are provided.
Locally owned meat market, seafood stores and farm stands are conveniently located nearby.

We had a great stay at Polly's Place. The quiet setting was beautiful. The place was very roomy. The bedrooms, including the beds were great. The hosts have gone to great lengths to get all the details right including the place being super clean, plenty of towels, blankets, pillows, tons of dishes, glasses, mugs. The kitchen has all of the basics covered including utensils, spices, condiments and even coffee & tea. There is a book full of details about the area and restaurant recommendations. The Hosts have thought of everything! Its the perfect place to stay in the Kennebunkport area.

Excellent central location

This location was perfect for a first time visitor to Maine. We spent most of our time out of the house but it was centrally located to so many wonderful locations. The check in process was seamless. Excellent communication from the hosts and we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a Maine trip that’s close to beaches/activities, but much more private.

Nice cottage minutes from the coast

A really nice beach type cottage with easy access to much of the southern Maine coast. Modern bathroom and kitchen with comfortable bedrooms. A very homey feel overall with very attentive hosts who kept up with us via electronic means and made helpful recommendations. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to be near the coast with a little quieter environment.

Great stay at Polly's Place

My husband and I have stayed in many vacation rentals and this one was one of the best. You can't beat the location, private, quiet and close to town. The hosts have thought of everything you could need. From motion sensing lights, flashlights next to the bed, fully equipped kitchen, snack tray, I could go on and on. This was the cleanest house we have ever rented! The next time we are in the area, we will definitely stay here again. Thanks Patty and Eric!

Wonderful Location!! Amazing hosts!!

The cottage is an absolutely wonderful place to stay!! Patty and Eric have ensured that you have all the comforts of home. Anything you might need or think you need has already been thought of and is there for you to utilise should you require it. It is close enough to everything, but still very quiet and peaceful which allowed us to relax and unwind as a family. We will definitely be coming to stay again. Thank you both for making our stay in Kennebunk a truly memorable one.

Renting in the area for close to 30 years, we can say with certainty the cottage was clean to perfection, very well equipped and very spacious. As well, the hostess was very helpful. Available if needed, otherwise you wouldn’t know she was there. We’ll be back! Thank you Patty!

Charming home in a good location, fully stocked with towels, sheets, blankets and throws; snack basket for our arrival, water in fridge and on countertop, coffee pods, all sorts of sweeteners, full dinnerware, pots, pans, mugs etc.. not a single thing was missing!

Perfect place to stay in Maine.

The cottage is located on a quiet side road, with a large lawn surrounded by huge trees full of many types of birds. A peaceful place for a morning coffee, listening to their songs. It is a short drive to the beaches, shops and numerous restaurants in Kennebunk/Kennebunkport. We rarely ate twice at the same place; all were of very good quality. The house was impeccably clean, with comfortable furniture and all required accessories. Touches such as flashlights in every room and motion detecting night lights spoke to an attention to detail.Patti and Eric were excellent hosts. They responded promptly to all communications and were welcoming without being intrusive. The check in instructions and guest info were clear and accurate. There were many helpful suggestions for restaurants/shops and places of interest, as well as many books and magazines about the area. We really enjoyed the stay, which went all too quickly. Thoroughly recommended, and would not hesitate to rebook.

Perfection!

I cannot remember a time when I felt more welcome. Everything we needed for our stay at Polly's Place was easily within reach from the moment we walked through the door. The homeowners thought of everything, including the tiniest details, to make our family's stay over Thanksgiving comfortable and happy. The kitchen and bathroom are fully stocked, the bedrooms are comfortable, and the other areas (living room, dining room, and sun porch/family room) were great spots for our family to spread out and enjoy our stay. The homeowners are kind and responsive, the location is lovely and quiet, the home is spacious, and the decor is beautiful. Polly's Place is a treasure, exceeds five stars, and is deserving of a rating of "Exceptional." I would absolutely book the location for our next trip to Maine.
