This beautiful home on the quiet island was a wonderful balance to relax with quiet off season island life while being walking distance to the ferry and city. The market on the island had everything needed to eat in and the home had everything needed to make us feel right at home. The sun rises were a gorgeous site to see from the decks or from the nearby island point.

The house was perfect and location was beautiful. We found this property by chance, as we weren't looking to stay on the island originally. We are so glad we did. The walk to the ferry was very convenient, and the walk around the island was stunning. The house was clean, functional and had an amazing view. It couldn't have worked out any better. We look forward to returning again!

Charming house close to the ferry line. Great location to two public access beaches. We didn’t need to rent a golf cart since it’s so close to the ferry. You can rent one per hour to your the island. We didn’t bother bringing a car over - overnight parking was easy on Portland side. We were looking for something different and this was a perfect fit for our brief stay. Kids loved playing board games, exploring the beaches, and of course the ferry rides. Thanks for having us!

We’ve been coming to Peaks Island for 40+ years. We loved having this space for our family. Selkies Rest is asily accessible to the ferry and “downtown,”close to our favorite beach, has beautiful views, tons of windows to let the breeze in and listen to the ocean. It was very easy to get in touch with the owner. We loved our stay with our teenage children.

Laura's home is beautiful, spotless, relaxing and in the perfect location. It is walking distance to the primary sand beach on the island, and less than 5 minutes from picnic point where my daughter spends hours looking for seaglass. We will certainly be back to this gorgeous home.

4 friends and I wanted a low-key weekend getaway. We didn't need 500 things to do, we just wanted to be together without our home obligations. Peaks Island was the perfect getaway, and Laura made it perfect! There's a good long document that is easy to read, and lays out ALL the expectations. Where to put the trash on checkout. Where to put food you didn't use up, and what's free to use. It feels like a lot of reading but honestly - we knew EXACTLY what to do to make our stay easy for us, and how to utilize what the home had perfectly (for example, there's a warning that some of the crank handles on the window are delicate - so we avoided those and used the many windows that slid up and down). Laura was VERY responsive to all my questions! The house is across the street from the beach, and a short walk from the ferry. Anything you want to do on the island, you don't need a car - there were 5 of us total with luggage so we brought 1 car over for the luggage. We used the kitchen to make coffee and a lasagna for one dinner, and everything worked great. There are *2* dishwashers (half size each) so we filled one up and ran it, and could fill up the other one in the meantime. We relaxed in the hot tub, played games, took walks, and had a great time. The worst part is that we didn't have more time - we all agreed that we wanted a longer time to "do nothing"! The house has lots of games and books and large spaces to hang out with your people and just BE with each other.
