Panoramic Sea Views • Oceanic Hot Tub • Epic Food Scene

Beautiful house with beautiful views! House was perfect for a quiet little weekend getaway. Host was very welcoming and responded to messages right away. Also, house was walking distance from the ferry, huge plus!

Thank you beautiful location and loved the hot tub

We were looking for a short family vacation in close proximity to Portland where we could fall asleep listening to the ocean waves, and Selkies Rest did not disappoint! Great location easily walkable to the island's restaurants and ferry, even for young children. Multiple different decks to enjoy. Loved the swinging chair on the front porch. The master suite was great... ended and started each day on the attached deck with its beautiful ocean view. The kitchen/dining/living room area was very spacious, and well stocked with board games (and a piano!) to entertain the kids. The host was very communicative. Definitely recommend!

We overall, had a great time. The house was in a great location and close to the Ferry and restaurants. The only thing I’d recommend was a couple more AC units in the main living area, and bedroom downstairs. With continuous hot weather the house was quite warm when we arrived. It did cool down at night, but still during the day it was warm. The home was clean and had lots of games and activities for kids. My family enjoyed the piano. I also wished we could’ve had visitors inside, without a fee. I feel that rule is quite strict and not accommodating to families that may want a visitor (that does not stay over night). But everything was clean and beds were comfortable.

We loved (loved loved!) the Selkie’s Rest cottage. — It’s perfectly located; an easy walk from the Ferry and with a beautiful view of the bay and a half a block from touching the water. —It has a wonderful common floor with a really well-appointed kitchen, a long dining room table and a spacious living room overlooking the bay. — The top floor master with its own view balcony is SO comfortable and we had family members spread out to the first floor sleeping space— nice to have sleeping quarters spread out. — Three bathrooms and two showers lets family spread out a bit— the master bath on the third floor has a nice clawfoot tub. — The hot tub was a treat in the backyard with a beautiful sea view. — Well stocked with games, puzzles and interesting books for rainy days. All of the instructions were clear and easy, and Laura was quickly responsive when we had a few questions. The cottage made our first (but hopefully not last) visit to this charming island pretty incredible. Would recommend this place to family and friends in a heartbeat.

Perfect place for our group of 6 40-50 year old moms to relax and rejuvenate.

Adorable beach house within walking distance from the ferry. Lovely views of the water and the house is set up perfectly for quality family time.

The home had amazing ocean views! 7 min walk to the beach or to main restaurants and shops. Our family of six adults found the home spacious enough.

Beautiful home in an idyllic location. Couldn’t ask for anything more

Start to finish, it was a great experience and beautiful home. It was everything we needed and the host had great communication. First time on the island and we plan to go back! Thank you!!
