Positives: The location was perfect for solitude and beauty. Lots of butterflies, deer and quiet. Didn't see anyone. Lots of great walking and bike trails nearby. Convenient to all parts of the island. Negatives: Many parts of the house were lacking in upkeep. All the pillowcases were dirty with evidence of mold. (We were glad to have brought our own sheets and blankets and immediately washed the provided pillowcases). Mold was present in both downstairs and upstairs bathrooms as well as the coverings for sofas and chairs. Some kitchen tools were broken. Many lights and/or switches were not working. The light to the basement didn't work. The platform holding the washer and drier was rotting. The 'floor' of the outdoor shower was just rocks that were slippery when wet. The supply of hot water was inconsistent at best - especially in the first floor bath. The condition of the patio furniture was poor. The owner says the outdoor chairs will be replaced. The online photos were old - maybe from 20 years ago - and show the property when it was in much better condition. If the property was maintained properly, it would be a beautiful place to stay.

The location has a lot going for it - cool historic character, somewhat private location with a lot of space for kids to roam freely and safely, and a good layout with comfortable rooms and good separation of quiet and active spaces. There are a number of things that should be addressed by the owner for a more comfortable stay such as a functioning dryer and a more thorough cleaning of furniture textiles etc. Overall there were more pluses than minuses and I am confident these concerns can be addressed quickly.

We arrived at home and were super disappointed about cleanliness. Lots of mold on all couches and showers...so much so that we would not sit on the couches. Bathrooms did not seem like they were cleaned. The house was infested with bugs almost like no-one has stayed in the house in some time. I have rented houses on Block Island for over 10 years...I know the island has bugs but this was the worst. It was very warm - 80 degrees inside the home and the kitchen had 2 large sliders and no screens...it was uncomfortably hot. The fans that were provided were absolutely filthy (I sent the owners pictures of everything). The dryer stopped working at the beginning of the trip and that was a problem because we intend to wash our clothes/towels multiple times. The owner was super responsive and had our clothes laundered and she really tried to remedy everything in a very timely manner....but you cannot remedy mold by throwing a slip cover over it. As I said I have rented homes for over 10 years on the island and we are used to a much cleaner and higher quality rental. The six of us were disappointed with this rental and would not rent it again. The listing talked about trails to Rodman Hollow but there was no welcome book with information. There was a home very close behind and we could hear music and conversation...not a secluded house.

Thank you Linda! My family and I had a fabulous week at your beautiful home! Block Island is where we vacationed every summer while the kids were growing up and it was wonderful for us to get back all together again. We loved the house and the peaceful location- will definitely be back! Eileen

We had the most amazing family vacation on the island. The house was perfect for our family. First floor bedroom and bathroom was perfect for our 93 yr old grandmother and the upstairs rooms were excellent for toddlers and other adults! The master bedroom is expansive and super comfortable. The pictures on this site do not do justice to the house, it truly was such a wonderful secluded vacation home. Linda was incredibly communicative and accommodating to every request. The yard is so spacious and was a perfect playground for the kids. Outdoor shower was perfect island touch! As others review mention the road (like many residential BI roads) are best suited for an SUV or the like, but just go slow! Can't wait to return again and again for many summers to come!

The same day we are traveling to the island, we get a text from the owner stating we need to bring our own bed linens. We had no way of doing so, so we had to sleep on top of blankets on the beds. When we arrived to the house, the couch was mysteriously damp - but we quickly left/did not investigate too much further bc we were just dropping things off and heading to the beach. Later that night when we returned, we noticed bugs all over the house, inside the couch that had been wet, exoskeletons from bugs littering all over furniture pieces, and mice droppings. We decided to leave the next day (with one night still on the reservation). When we sought a refund, she denied it and tried to say that we were the ones who had peed on the couch. Her accusations have been wild, and her communication is disorderly.

We’ve been visiting Block Island for quite a few years now and stay at different rentals each time on the island. This rental did not disappoint! Very remote and quiet for our family. With 4 very young children, it was a perfect place. The owner was very accessible for questions and the house was very clean and pleasant. The only complaint is the driveway/road access is very bumpy, but an suv has no problem on it. Overall, this retail really made our vacation this summer! I would recommend this house for those who enjoy peace away from the excitement of the town and beach crowds. We would certainly stay here again if we vacation on Block again!
