Fabulous Stay!
We stayed for a quiet, end of summer vacation, and it was perfect in every way. It was our first time visiting Block Island and will definitely be returning to this sweet home! The beds were very comfortable. Gorgeous, peaceful location and close enough to walk to town, which everyone loved! Our host, Douglas was very easy to communicate with! Thank you!

The White House!
We arrived early and the extremely nice cleaning people let us use the bathroom and drop off a few things, it was so appreciated especially with an 18 month old! The owner called soon after and let me know the house was all set which was wonderful. It was a perfect sized home with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and an awesome outside shower. The backyard was all fenced in which was perfect! The air conditioning was great as there were some very hot days. I was grateful not to have to bring my own linens and there’s plenty of toiletry given. The bath towels were so nice too! The walk to the ferry and shops is so close by. Also the farm is close too and was so fun to go and pet the animals. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hope to go back next summer. Thank you!

Sweet Block Island cottage getaway
My friend and I adored “our” little cottage. It was charming. The living room sitting area was very welcoming. Our beds were comfortable and the linens were so fresh and smelled great. I loved the art work and charm in every room. We cooked most of our meals there which was great! We really liked being able to walk into town even though we had a car. The cottage was quiet, close to town and the ocean breeze was so nice throughout the house. We will return!

Great location. Nice place
The house is just a couple of blocks from the old harbor and central New Shoreham. The host was responsive to small issues. There is a pleasant living room for folks to sit and talk. We had a great visit. I highly recommend this house.

Adorable Cottage, Great location, and Very Clean.
Adorable cottage located right across from the Atlantic Inn. The cottage was very clean and we were pleasantly surprised by all the supplies and amenities it had. Definitely planning on renting again next year.

Sweet little beach house
Cute house in a cul-de-sac of sorts. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, outside shower, everything we needed for our stay. The air conditioners all worked and there was a nice breeze when we opened the windows. Would suggest bringing some food, snacks, and drinks with you onto the island as prices are a little steep. There is plenty of room to store drinks and food in the house. The beds were comfortable and clean. The island is beautiful. The house is a short walk from the ferry and downtown.

Walking Distance to Downtown Shops & Dining
Due to Tropical Storm Henri, ferry service was cancelled for our original arrival date so we arrived a day late. Owner graciously offered us an extra day at the end of our stay, although our schedule didn't permit us to use it. Cottage is located at the top of High Street with other cottages in close proximity. We didn't bring our car, so we did quite a bit of walking to and from - the hardest part was arriving to our cottage with our luggage (thankfully had wheels!) and returning with our beach gear. Walk to town beach was 1.3 miles, but there are closer beaches, like Ballards. Upon arrival, cottage was missing towels - contacted owner and that was quickly rectified by cleaners. The backyard was a bit of a mess - grass very long and lawn chairs were dirty, but given the recent storm it was understandable. Outdoor shower was nice, but could use a latch to keep the door shut. Air conditioning units kept the place cool. Kitchen wares could use updating and some plumbing fixtures in one of the bathrooms were loose/falling out. We just didn't use that shower. All in all, a comfortable rustic cottage in a good location to explore Block Island.

Cozy Home in a Great Location
This property was perfect for my family on our stay in Block Island! Three bedrooms, a living room, and kitchen were just what we needed. And the outdoor shower was great for washing the sand off from long days at the beach. This house is just up the hill on High Street from the ferry so it was an easy walk into town for meals and ice cream. The property is also across the street from the Atlantic hotel for cocktail hours. We also utilized the outdoor grill and fire pit on the beautiful Block Island nights. The host was very helpful and answered all questions promptly! Can’t wait to go back again!
