Polly Pocket, the pocket-sized doll who burst onto the toy scene in 1989, is celebrating her 35th birthday by renting out her home on Airbnb.
The short-term rental company has unveiled its latest “themed experience” in Littleton, MA, to be a life-sized, 42-foot-tall version of her plastic compact house.
Guests can book one of three one-night stays taking place Sept. 12–14 with a maximum of four guests each. The cost? A mere $89 per person—an economical nod to Polly’s debut year.
For anyone who wants to experience dollhouse living but is unable to book the stay, Airbnb adds that Polly’s compact will also be available for 21 daytime tours for up to a dozen guests each between Sept. 16 to Oct. 6. This themed experience can be booked starting Aug. 21 through Aug. 28.
Inside Polly Pocket’s life-sized doll house
But be warned: Polly’s house might boast plenty of personality but lack the comforts of home.
You can tour Polly’s closet and try on her vintage looks, but don’t expect any linens, towels, or even walls. (You may want to check the weather forecast before booking—don’t say we didn’t warn you!)
There’s a private half-bath that’s enclosed, but you’ll need to shower before you arrive or when you get back home.

If you’re seeking shelter, you can sleep inside Polly’s Action Park Tent, which features multiple single beds and is located just steps from her two-story, open-air abode.

If you get hungry, visit the colorful kitchen. According to Airbnb, snacks—including Ring Pop, Push Pop, and Baby Bottle Pop treats—will be available. But you may want to have your DoorDash or Uber Eats apps fired up because chances are most of the other food is plastic.

Get comfy in the living room with some popcorn, a movie (on VHS, naturally), and plenty of pillows.
Wondering what else you can do? Polly’s picnic table is stocked with threads, charms, and a collection of beads so you can create friendship bracelets to your heart’s content.

If you grew up with a playroom full of Polly Pocket accessories or watched the “Barbie” movie and longed to spend a night in a doll-inspired, decked-out dwelling, here’s your chance.
Those who are craving experiences that go beyond your traditional stays will be happy to hear Airbnb has another unique option coming up in October: Stay in Prince’s Purple Rain house from the 1984 film.
