About this property

Tangney Cottage

  • Summary:

    Set on High Street and just a short walk to Old Harbor, shops, and restaurants, this centrally located home offers the convenience of being close to town while still providing a comfortable place to unwind. With a layout that works well for families and groups, the home features spacious main-level living and dining rooms that make it easy to gather for meals, game nights, or relaxed evenings after a day at the beach.



    Spend your mornings with a cup of coffee on the covered front porch overlooking distant views of the harbor.The kitchen has been recently renovated and is well-equipped for cooking at home, whether you’re preparing quick breakfasts before heading out or planning a group dinner in. The bathrooms have also been updated, adding a fresh and modern feel while still maintaining the home’s classic Block Island character.



    All four bedrooms are located on the second floor, offering separation between the living areas and sleeping space. Two bedrooms include queen beds, one bedroom has two twin beds, and the fourth offers a twin bed with a trundle, ideal for young kids only. This setup provides flexibility for a variety of group configurations, from families traveling together to friends sharing a week on the island.



    Outside, the backyard is small but thoughtfully arranged with the essentials for summer living, including a grill for casual outdoor meals and an outdoor shower for easy post-beach rinses. Linens are provided, along with beach basics, so you can pack light and have everything you need ready upon arrival.

Upon arrival, we found the description of the property to be very accurate. The house was clean, in good working order, and well stocked with essentials to make vacationing easier (e.g., microwave, toaster, coffee maker, tea kettle, etc.). All of the linens were provided including kitchen towels, beach towels, and bathroom towels. The washer and dryer were described as small, but we never had an issue because the cycles ran quite quickly and there was a convenient clothes line for air drying. There was no air conditioning in the house, but plenty of windows to open for fresh air and fans were located in every room. The property was located a very short walk from downtown, so access to shopping and restaurants couldn’t have been easier. There was also parking available which made bringing a car to explore the island easy, without trying to deal with street parking. If we had to make one complaint, the door to the half bathroom located off of the laundry area was in need of a bit of repair, making privacy while using that bathroom difficult. Overall, this home is a great option for families looking for a convenient vacation option for a larger family and the host provided clear communication throughout the booking, check-in, and departure process.
