Quiet Cottage surrounded by beaches, restaurants, hiking, shops & Kennebunkport
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 spacious cottage to rest up for your next adventure. Enjoy nature watching or read a good book from the lawn chairs. It’s quiet here with a peacefulness you feel being close to nature. The landscape of Maine is untouched, dramatic, and soul-stirring. The air smells fresh like pine needles and moss and wood fires, depending on the season. The night sky is pitch black perfect for stargazing. We take pride in our cleanliness! We even wash the couch cover and all throws between guests. 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. Enjoy the large yard area and gas grill. 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.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The host was communicative, and the cottage was perfectly clean and well-equipped. It felt like a home away from home. We would definitely stay here again!
Great cottage. Had everything we needed. The basket of snacks on the counter was a nice welcome. I could only imagine sitting by the picture window and watching it snow.
Loved this cottage. Very clean. Comfortable with everything you might need. Close to beaches and bike trail. Our weather was warm and sunny.Great get away.

The house was much nicer than we expected. We will be back!!
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!
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.

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!
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!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The hosts are the most thoughtful ones we've encountered. From the snack basket to the motion lights in the house to the frozen beer mugs in the freezer...they've thought of it all. Very comfortable and relaxing stay.

About the host
Hosted by Patty Taylor
After I worked as a Systems Analyst/Manager for 29 years, and Eric worked as an Engineer for 25 years we decided to change career paths and started our own Construction and Property Management Company. We are now semi-retired managing our own rental properties. Eric was born in this area of Maine and we both love living here! The landscape is untouched, dramatic, and soul-stirring. The air smells fresh like pine needles and moss and wood fires, depending on the season. The people are friendly and helpful but mind their own business. Life is simple here and has a small town feel to it. We would love to have you visit and experience life in Maine! "The Best Things in Life are not Things"
