Beautiful property, very well maintained with lots of wonderful spaces and activities to enjoy on site. Many delightful evenings on the deck around the fire pit. Definitely an advantage to have a car as it's about 2 miles to the Oar/Paynes (down Center Road) and a bit farther to town and/or the beach. Communication with the owners in planning and with any questions on site was also excellent.

Our family of twelve had a wonderful week in this light-filled, spacious and comfortable Block Island house. We’ve rented many vacation homes over the past twenty years. We all agree that this house [and renovated barn] is as good as it gets. The house and barn are very tastefully decorated—Someone has a great eye. The superb kitchen for a family of cooks was thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. The many windows have screens. We opened them on arrival and didn’t close them until five minutes before checking out: We loved the cooling breezes on Block Island throughout our stay. All of us easily gathered on the back deck during the evenings to watch the sun set and the stars come out. The Vestaboard in the dining room was delightful. An outdoor shower next to the barn has more than enough water pressure and hot water. We loved the location of this gorgeous property [and its many shade-providing trees] on the relatively “quieter” south end of the island—all of Block is quiet—across the road from Rodman’s Hollow nature preserve. It’s a pleasant 20-minute bike ride into town. The six bikes that come with the house were a bonus. Carolyn and Annsley were easy to communicate with before and during our stay. This place is a classic! Our highest recommendations.

Loved the house and it’s charm. Great outdoor space. Best house yet after 16 years of going to block

The property was beautiful. Awesome barn, fresh water pond and grounds. House was professionally decorated yet comfortable and fit BI well. Nice sunsets too. The owners are easy to communicate with and seem like they really want you to enjoy your stay.

This property was simply amazing! The historic house and barn had been thoughtfully remodeled maintaining all their original charm, but included new kitchen appliances, device connectivity, USB chargers everywhere, and air conditioning, as a few examples. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax. We especially appreciated the humidity control as it was 96% outside on the day we arrived. I didn’t even know what a Vestaboard was, but after seeing it in action I kinda want one! The kitchen was very well-equipped for our cooking adventures with every imaginable gadget (like a mandoline) and knives that were actually sharp. Pro tip: of the two outdoor showers, the one by the house had the best view, but the hidden gem by the barn had the best pressure. Another real plus was that all the supplies were stocked with multiple backups (trash bags, dish soap, tp, etc.), so there were no worries about running out of anything and no need to bring linens or towels. There were so many games, toys, bikes, kayaks, and the like that there was really no need to bring anything except a beach towel. I had packed some beach chairs – nope, didn’t need ‘em. The grounds were lovely, with a fenced garden, a private pond that had a swimming dock, hammocks/swings for hanging out, and lots of open spaces for yard games – all crisscrossed by the beautiful stone walls the island is known for. The quiet location across from Rodman’s Hollow was perfect to get away from the maddening Summer crowds in town and very close to a favorite trail run down to Black Rock. Carolyn and Annsley were both very helpful and responsive when we had questions. We’d come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.
