About this house rental
Turtle Junction, owned by my family for the last 20 years, is an idyllic Block Island home that holds great memories with room for many more! This house is in a perfect location, walkable to town and the ferry (less than a mile), yet in a secluded and private neighborhood off of High Street, just North of the school. The house sits on a nature-filled lot with a fantastic deck overlooking a beautiful and accessible pond.
The exterior of the house was recently redone with new siding, roof, windows, skylights and doors, and deck while the inside of our home boasts the rustic charm you’d expect from a Block Island home. The house is 4 levels with the basement level containing a bedroom with a full size bed, a full bath, and laundry area. The main level hosts the kitchen which offers a small table, gas range, dishwasher, and a refrigerator with an ice maker. There is a coffee machine, as well as a Keurig. The main dining area features a large farmhouse table that seats 8 (with 2 extra chairs available) and opens to the family room that has a flat screen TV with a DVD player and ample seating for 8 to 10 people. The third level includes another full bath and two bedrooms; one with a queen size bed and the other with a set of bunk beds. The largest bedroom is on the 4th floor and contains a queen size bed, plus a gorgeous view of the pond off the back of the house. There’s a large deck off of the main level that contains a picnic table that seats 12+, along with a few Adirondack and lounge chairs, plus a gas grill. Also outside is a recently updated outdoor shower as well as a hose to get the sand off after a great day at the beach.
There are beach chairs, toys, coolers, and lawn games available for use. There are also books to borrow, board games, cards and puzzles if you get tired of spending your days in the sun. We have several kayaks for use in the backyard pond and bring your fishing pole! You’re sure to catch some sunnies, bass, perch and of course, turtles.
The benefits to our home's location are endless! The ferry, several restaurants, bike rentals, hotels, bars, shopping, and even a farm with a petting zoo, are less than a mile away. The Block Island school, with a kids playground and an outdoor basketball court, is .25 mile walk as well. The historic Spring House Hotel and The Atlantic Inn are also walking distance and offer manicured lawns with adirondack chairs for a place to chill out, sip a cocktail and watch the boats go by. The best beaches are just past town, so about 1.5 miles to the closest sand. Best of all there is a sidewalk for the entire walk to town offering safe passage for all. We know you will enjoy our property and all the island has to offer as much as we do!

We loved staying at Turtle Junction a little over 2 years ago and could not wait to return. What a great stay! Turtle Junction never disappoints! The property is always super clean, has everything you need in the kitchen to be comfortable preparing meals, and there is plenty of room to relax. Jon is always available to answer any questions and is a great host. We can’t wait for our next trip!

Our stay was beyond perfect! Warm days and cool nights with a heat wave taking place on the main land made it the perfect week on the island. The property is as advertised and so much more. Minutes from downtown, it provides you with a home away from home feel that is next to none. Having the pond and canoe seconds from the back deck steps provided many evenings of fishing for our kids. The fact that our 2 dogs were allowed at the home made the trip that much better. We’ll definitely utilize this property again for future vacations!

House was great, just what we needed, spacious living area, everything was clean and neat. 15 minute walk to town. Only downside was taxi did not know where house was (down a dirt road), so that was a minor problem. Not the owner's fault, just something to be aware of.

We have been vacationing on Block Island for many years in a family cottage. This year, we had a family wedding and needed a different place to stay. We were thrilled to find Turtle Junction. The house is in a prime location - feels like you are in the middle of nowhere, but you are pretty close to town. There are a lot of stairs in the house - which was fine for us, but should be considered for those who might have some trouble climbing them. Everything was spotless and the house was very comfortable with lots of character. We were happy to stay and would stay again.

Our family of five adults and had a lovely stay in this idyllic home! We vacation on BI most summers but have usually stayed in a downtown apartment rather than a house. This was the best of both worlds as we enjoyed the comfort of a house which was also an easy walk to town. Photos are accurate but somehow better in person. Charming furnishings and the layout worked perfectly for us. My husband and I took the cool basement bedroom & bath; our kids took the upstairs rooms. Awesome deck with great view out back, and when we hung out at night in the family room everyone had a comfy place to sit on that big sectional!

The house is cozy yet spacious. Immaculately clean. Anything guests would need is at your fingertips. The back deck is spacious with a gorgeous view of the conservancy. We will be back!

This property was wonderful! It had a nice layout, roomy common areas on the main floor with a beautiful deck overlooking a large pond. The bedrooms were nice, comfortable beds. Especially loved the loft bedroom with large windows and skylight. Well-equipoed kitchen. Lots of great "extras".... beach chairs, bikes, kayaks. Located close enough to town that you can walk or bike.
Owner was very quick to respond to questions. Really enjoyed our stay at Turtle Junction.

The spot is really nice. It's close enough to town that you can easily walk or ride. Nice layout to the house and very comfortable beds. The lake is a really great addition and with patience, you can definitely catch fish. Overnight it's really quite but you will have the occasional airplane taking off or landing but it's not really disturbing as we're out and about all day and no flights in the evening. Will try to book again for next year as it's a perfect setup for 2 smalish families and a dog.

Great house and super nice landlord. Really well kept, nicely decorated, kitchen was well stocked (full disclosure we only made bkfst) there’s a big deck with a pond view. The walk into town is less then a mile but we did cab a lot, which was fine. Would definitely recommend!

Nice house. Lots of floors so always going up and down. Pretty deck with lovely views but a lot of airplanes flying overhead so noisy.

We could not have been happier with our stay at Turtle Junction. We've been coming to the island for 3 decades, but with the addition of spouses and grandbabies had outgrown our timeshare on the island. This was the perfect stay for us with a nice open kitchen/living layout, beautiful outdoor space, and location. Jon & Julie were uber responsive and so helpful, even sending a new fan unprompted! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful property with us :)

Large group of friends, we stayed for the weekend for a friends wedding at the Spring House. Great rental, location is tucked away down a dirt road so be prepared for that. Taxi drivers were nice and able to pick us up and drop off at the house, but you can also walk about 15 minutes to get into town with food, shops, etc. Overall, a great spot to stay with friends, gorgeous views off the back deck. The owner, Jon, was great and easy to reach!

The location was perfect. Close to town yet private. Loved the property.. roomy and had enough space for 3 kids to run around. I will book again for sure!

Great house— charming and an interesting layout. It was just 2 of us for a romantic getaway— but with 2 baths and 4 bedrooms it would have been comfy for a large family. Quiet neighborhood and off the beaten path. Loved the house and enjoyed our few days on Block Island!

Great house on a pond, close to town but very private. Would definitely return.

We had a good time, loved the deck and all of us spent a lot of time there and caught up on our reading. Was space enough for the 5 of us.
Secluded, quiet neighborhood, major noise are airplanes taking off from nearby airport, but not too bad once the weekend was over. A couple of bedrooms very small. Beds not made when we arrived, but perhaps they have a reason for this. Adequate dishes, towels, blankets, etc. Kayaks were old and down a path someone my age can't do. We did have to go out and purchase toilet paper and paper towels, though we were told they would be
there.

Four of us got together to do some fishing on Block Island. This property was perfect! Our MO was surf casting, but the house is next to a freshwater pond also; think sunfish, bass, perch, etc. The location is convenient yet private. It was well stocked and very clean, plus communicating with the owners was a breeze. What more can you ask for? Would highly recommend this property and hope to stay again in the future!

The house was enjoyable for my family - two sons, daughter-in-law and 3 month old Grandson and dog. The bedrooms were small except for the 3rd floor BR which we gave to our son so he can fit a small crib. There were no closets to hang cloths. Some hooks and a dresser were provided in the bedrooms. All beds were comfortable. The living room sofa was very worn without any back cushions and the bench seating could have had more back pillows. The deck was great overlooking the pond. The beach chairs were new and the gas grill worked well. The kitchen was well equipped, the dishwasher and cloths washer dryer worked well. The kayaks/canoe were down an overgrown trail and dock was very old and unsteady so we didn’t feel safe using the boats. Overall Jon was very responsive and answered any questions quickly. The house layout is great. Sliding doors to deck and grill with two large tables and and not being on a busy road was great for our dog. We loved being so close to town.

This was our first time renting a house on the Island. I definitely recommend staying here. It’s not far from town, shopping, restaurants and beaches but is is set back enough to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery, birds, sunrises and sunsets on the big outside deck. We had everything we could need. It was clean and the owners were great with communicating and wonderful to deal with. Our family (7 of us) all had a great time and enjoyed our stay here. Looking forward to coming back.

We came for an off season rental in early April, and could not have been happier. Jon is a great host and made the whole process easy. Location was great felt remote but had access to all Block Island had to offer. My kids loved the house and asked to extend the stay but sadly we had to return to work.

Everything about this house was awesome. Great view, great location, beautiful home. Outdoor shower is a huge plus.I had an unbelievable time showing some first timers around the island and this house was the icing on the cake. Perfect place to come back to after exploring the island. The owner was very responsive and kind about any questions we had before our trip as well.
