The house was much nicer than we expected. We will be back!!
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.
A wonderful place to stay! The owners are very friendly, accommodating and happy to suggest places to go and places to eat. Great location for visiting Kennebunkport and Portland! Good location for a beautiful drive to drive to Camden as well for beautiful nature trails and historic sites. You won't regret staying here!
Polly’s Place came fully stocked with personal touches and all the items needed for a comfortable & relaxing stay. We loved it and the easy access to surrounding towns & venues!
The hosts were great.
The property was extremely clean and well kept.

We had an absolutely lovely three days at Polly’s Place with hosts Patty and Eric! The home was so well stocked, the place had a fabulous yard for the kids to run in and it was so quiet and comfortable. We loved exploring the area!

Exceptionally clean, and a very cute place. It is an “older” home but very well maintained. Had any kitchen item, utensil, tool you could hope for. Comfy sheets and linens, plenty of towels. We enjoyed all the extra details and amenities. Great location close to Kennebunkport as well as major highways 95 and 1. The hosts greeted us and were very nice and accommodating. We hope to return if we are ever in the area again!
Such a great location! Close to the beach and shopping, but we could return to our quiet woodsy retreat. Every detail was thought of and we had a fantastic time - stayed a week! Recommend withouthesitation!wilbe

Thanks for the great review! We are glad Polly’s Place provided a comfortable home base for your visit to the area. Please come and stay with us again!
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.

We spent the weekend at Polly’s Cottage while attending family weekend at University of New England. Polly’s Cottage was perfect! Patty & Eric have thought of everything to make your stay so comfortable. And the location was great! Close to everything but it feels like you’re in the countryside. We will absolutely stay again.
