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.

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.

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!

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.
