Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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!
