As part of their awesome Icons line, Airbnb recently unveiled a charmingly realistic version of the beloved children’s toy Polly Pocket. Fittingly set in Littleton, Massachusetts, the life-size rental is an impressive facsimile of Mattel’s popular toy.

The original Polly Pocket was a series of plastic cases, which opened up to become a dollhouse, complete with miniature figures and toys. It’s celebrating its 35th birthday this year.

Airbnb’s recreation is amazingly faithful to the toy, with a cheery, chunky plastic aesthetic that is hard to believe has been up-sized to human scale.

The two story clamshell apartment is open to the elements, and features a kitchen, closet, living room and more, all with hand-crafted pieces that fit the aesthetic of the original toy. The closet even features costumes that guests can try on, to truly live the Polly Pocket dream. We especially love the toy potted plant, which fits the aesthetic so well.

A sleeping pod is just steps away from the main clamshell, and features colorful sleeping bags and lighting to make the stay a memorable occasion.

The Polly Pocket rental is only available to rent September 12-14, at $89 per guest, a nod to the toy’s launch in 1989.
