Summary: 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!
