Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Laura Fitton
Purchasing a seaside home was a lifelong dream, sharing it with you is a great pleasure.
Why they chose this property
I knew immediately that this was the right home to realize my lifelong dream of living by the sea because the unique location gives it the feeling of oceanfront without the risks of direct frontage or a flood zone.
What makes this property unique
Selkies' Rest is a cozy and lovingly appointed year-round home that's absolutely gorgeous inside and out. Her location by the crashing waves of a favorite rocky outcropping makes for spectacular sights and sounds. You can see the ocean from every room - even in the basement - and there are 4 decks for getting outside to soak it all in. Speaking of soaking, you can end each night stargazing from your own private hot tub. This vacation home truly has everything.
