You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A Quiet Cottage close to beaches, Kennebunkport and Kennebunk. Polly’s Place.

Our cottage is centrally located on a country road nestled among fabulous restaurants, live entertainment, hiking trails, beaches, boat tours, flea markets, antique shops, art studios, museums, golf courses, all within a 5 mile radius. 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.

We take pride in our cleanliness! We even use a washed couch cover and wash all throws between guests.

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.

Visit the quaint coastal towns of Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Cape Porpoise and Wells; featuring great restaurants, shopping, golfing, and sightseeing. Take a scenic coastal cruise or go whale watching, fishing, surfing, kayaking or just spend the day relaxing on the many local beaches. Portland is only 20 miles away. Take a train from Wells (10 miles away) to Portland or Boston.

Family Weekend
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.

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 experience!
Patty and Eric thought of literally everything! 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! BBQ, beach chairs, beach towels, binder with all restaurants in the area, soap, shampoo, even extra toothbrushes (which in fact came in handy for my boyfriend who'd forgotten his!

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.

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!

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.

The owners of the property were very helpful and informative regarding places to see and the routes to follow. The cottage was named after the owner's aunt, "Polly's Place." It is a quaint cottage with thoughts of amenities supplied for renters from the linens provided to the welcome basket of snacks. Close to Kennebunkport and Kennebunk, the shopping and restaurants are a short drive. Enjoyed seeing Walker's Point, the Bush compound, the Colony Hotel for lunch, Hurricane Restaurant for dinner. Great long weekend, hope to rent again in the future.

Out of all our stays throughout Maine on this trip, this was the best! Not only are the property owners genuinely nice they were extremely accommodating. There was a snack basket on arrival & some items int the fridge as well. Very well stocked kitchen and the most comfortable & quiet location possible, yet very close to everything. Anyone who stays here will definitely not be disappointed. Thank you again, Eric & Patty!

Fantastic spot close to Kennebunkport. Even better hosts!
My partner and I stayed here for a week long “staycation”. The home was 100% as advertised - clean and spacious to boot. Patty and Eric really tied together the experiencing by sharing lots of fantastic local tips on food, entertainment, beaches, and pretty much anything else one might want to know. The home itself is far back from the road in a private setting. Just a few short miles to Kennebunkport, Kennebunk, beaches, restaurants, and all other local attractions. Work, pleasure, family, friends, or even solo - can’t go wrong staying here. Thanks again Patty for a great week.
