The Most Wonderful Cottage

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Polly’s Place. The cottage is clean, comfortable, and well stocked with everything you would need. The extras really made our stay more enjoyable and relaxing. We will be back next year!

Very clean and comfortable

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.

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!

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.

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.
