A First Look at the Life-Sized Polly Pocket Airbnb
Designed as the exact version of Polly's 1994 "Slumber Party Fun" compact, which was a well-known set, this two-story heart-shaped dream was made as a 42-foot age tribute to the retro time.

With your arrival, you are in the world of vintage. The inside and outside are designed like Polly's original dollhouse, including her personal details. Even the furniture looks like gummy, poppy Polly's, impossible to believe being real like they were in a cartoon AIRBNB NEWSROOM TRAVEL + LEISURE.
