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.

When you check into a VRBO, you always wonder if the pictures and description are accurate. My wife and I were so impressed with this property and locale, that we stayed THREE weeks. This very quiet setting included turkey and all kinds of birdlife. Several nights we slept with the windows open - never a sound except the birds. Everything about our stay was fabulous - we had read some concerns from a prior guest about ants and spiders. I think they were dreaming - we saw nothing of the sorts over three weeks. What we did experience was a very comfortable king size bed, nice sheets, plenty of clean blankets, super WIFI, every kitchen utensil you can ever need, many paper goods, very nice gas grill, clean, clean and more clean. I had some business to conduct and found the small desk setup perfect. Streaming TV enabled us to follow the few shows we enjoy. Outdoor seating on many evenings was welcome. Beach chairs meant we didn't need to buy and the 10-minute drive to Gooch's Beach was easy. Washer and dryer were convenient. Patty and Eric were always available to answer questions on the area - prior to arriving, her communications were awesome. In addition, there is so much to do in the area. I'm reluctant to tell others this great secret as I don't want my future stays to be tough to get. But I've already booked for 2026 and will be staying at least three weeks again. AWESOME EXPERIENCE!

A nice stay in Maine

The house has all the amenities you could want - lots of linens, supplies, laundry, kid toys/games/books, even shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc. The kitchen is fully stocked, and the living room is cute with lots of spots to lounge. It’s a short drive to goose rocks beach or into kennebunkport which we liked. The hosts were communicative and offered an early checkin and late checkout unprompted! They provided snacks and local guides and starter water. There’s a big beautiful front yard. We visited in July and it was quite hot. There are window ACs in the bedrooms and living room but it’s quite loud and not super effective in the main living area. There were also a number of bugs (ants, spiders). The house is attached to the owners’ main home. It’s on well water so you’ll need to bring your own drinking water. I think if you’re a slightly more rustic person this is a great stay!

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!

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.
