I rented a large house but needed some extra room. This cottage was perfect for my son and daughter. They thoroughly enjoyed their stay.

We had a lovely time in the cottage. Loved the outdoor shower, beach chairs were a big plus and the central location in the island was perfect for exploring. Thanks so much for a relaxing, fun week.

My 5-day retreat in this little cottage was wonderful. I have never stayed in a VRBO rental that was so clean (it seemed that no one had ever stayed there before it was so clean!) and so well stocked. They had everything! The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom towels were cozy. I didn't use the TV but the instructions for how to use it seemed easy. Marti was very helpful and welcoming! I highly recommend.

This cottage is the absolute perfect place to stay for a couple who wants to do the island the right way. I’ve come to Block Island probably 30 times since I was a kid, and this place has everything you could want. We were able to go to so many of the great spots on the island either on foot or on our bikes. Amazing location that’s less than a 10-minute bike ride from Old Harbor and town beach, a 5-minute ride to New Harbor (and Payne’s Donuts), and a very manageable 20-minute ride to the bluffs and the SE lighthouse. There’s parking too if you need to bring a car, but you absolutely do not need to.
It has a spacious living area and a nice full bed in the air-conditioned bedroom. There’s a full kitchen that, unlike a lot of rental houses, has knives that are actually sharp enough to cut things and nonstick pans that aren’t completely ruined. There’s a nice grill for those swordfish steaks you’ll get at Dick’s Fish in New Harbor, and the perfect pots and serving dishes for big batches of clams with white wine and garlic. Eating out on the island can be very expensive, so being able to cook nice meals in a rental is great. It even has carafes for making iced tea and a full set of tupperware for your leftovers. There’s a big yard you can lie down in to look at the stars, and tables for eating outside. Oh and it has THE most essential thing – an outdoor shower.
The hosts were great too - very friendly and responsive to any issues we had. I can’t recommend this place enough for

My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay at the cottage! We were celebrating our 40th anniversary, so the owners thoughtfully provided a bottle of bubbly along with 2 flutes and a card. We also got to visit with the very friendly owners for a bit, which is always nice!
Regarding the cottage itself, it was clean & well stocked with everything we needed!
The only downsides were:
1. There were quite a few steps, some uneven, leading up to the cottage, which for the young and those in good shape shouldn't be an issue, but it may be for some.
2. The property is situated very close to a main road, which kept us from being able to enjoy a walk to town even though it was close enough.
But these were minor negatives compared to the many positive qualities of the property.

This is a sweet cottage nestled on a hill. Centrally located and easy to get to everything. We enjoyed quiet time at the top of the hill enjoying the view. The unit has an air conditioner which is unusual for places on Bi. The hosts are very accommodating and friendly. I highly recommend this cottage and would stay there again

This cottage is a nice place for a couple to stay for a weekend or longer. It is conveniently located in the center of the island. The kitchen is well-equipped and the cottage and property are well-maintained.

The cottage was beautiful. It was spotlessly clean, cozy and well equipped. It was close to everything without being too close to the in town action. The weather turned bad and the ferries were not running. Marti went out of her way to accommodate us and eased our anxieties about getting home. I can’t say enough about the kindness of our hosts and in spite of some big bumps, what a wonderful trip we had. We can’t wait to return.

Very nicely renovated cottage with full sized bathroom, stove and apartment sized refrigerator, complete with all new appliances including air conditioner. Fire pit, grill, picnic table & outdoor shower were available for use with seasoned wood. Very relaxing and close to town.

Had the most wonderful week on Block Island. The island itself, the vibe of the people, the protected and maintained natural beauty were all wonderful. The cottage itself was perfect -- we were so comfortable, felt really provided for (we did a lot of cooking and were super pleased with the equipment and supplies), and the surrounding property was so special (and there were tons of monarchs flying around at no extra charge). The hosts were so wonderful -- informative, attentive, fun, trusting, ,helpful.
It's the type of place where I want to return to again and again, have everyone I know stay there too, but selfishly not want to tell anyone else. Perfect for a couple.
Again, we were so pleased and can't wait to go back.
Our gratitude to the hosts for making it so great and easy.

Perfect Cottage on Block Island
We found the cottage better in-person than in photos. The photos on-line don’t do it justice. The cottage was CLEAN and has everything you need! A nice quiet stay away from the hustle and bustle from the harbor. Towels, beach chairs, and a parking space included- what else do you need?! The property owner, Ed, gave us a tour (at our request) of the property and his Lobster Bar(n), telling us a little history of the home.
We had a great time, and we’ll definitely be back to stay next year!

Perfect pied-a-tierre in a heavenly place
Block Island is for us the most beautiful place in the world, and we found this sweet cottage to have everything a couple could want to explore it in comfort and with convenience. Its location is handy to everything but far from tourist crowds. There is a spacious backyard with a picnic table and lovely view, and a fully-equipped kitchen if you don't want to eat out. Marti, Ed, and Julia are most welcoming and responsive. We will gladly return!

Perfect!
We loved everything about this house- great size for two people, had everything you could possibly need, beautiful property and perfect location for us! We walked or biked the mile into town every day and enjoyed being equal distance for both Old and New Harbor without being too close to the crowds and noise. The owners are the nicest people you could possibly meet, even left surprises for me and my son-we felt like we were staying with family. So happy we found this place! Would 100% stay here again!

Fantastic Hosts
We had such a positive experience with everyone and everything on this trip. The property is centrally located to everything on the island and we couldn’t have asked for better hosts. They definitely take pride in their property and we loved having everything that we needed in the cottage for a comfortable weeklong stay.

Cozy Island retreat
Accommodations were very clean and well appointed for all one would need to have a relaxing visit on Block Island. Grounds were well cared for with an expansive lawn and a hilltop ideal for sunset viewing. Property was centrally located with easy walking access to the airport and New harbor. Short drive to town and easy access to many hikes on the island. Hosts were friendly and made us feel at home. We had a wonderful time! Thank you.

As advertised
Just as advertised. A really nice place to have stayed. Clean bathroom, comfortable bed, and even supplied clean towels. I would absolutely stay here again. Only recommendation I’d make is to make sure you bring your car or rent a bike/moped as it’s just slightly off the downtown area to be walking every day

Beautiful cottage for 2!
This was the perfect cottage for our weekend getaway! It was clean, quiet and equipped with anything you may need. Marti and Ed greeted us when we arrived, and were fantastic the whole time. It was nice knowing they were just a phone call away (as they have a lot of info on the island). The grounds are beautiful. We enjoyed the fire pit at night too. The pictures are very accurate on the site. I think it was even better in person. We will definitely be returning! Thank you!

Low-key spot for couples
My wife, 20 month-old son, and I stayed for quiet getaway. This place was immaculate and a nice central spot for travelling all over the island. Only mile from all the action in the old harbor. Loved everything about this place with exception of the lack of door between living area and bedroom. A curtain or sliding barndoor would be great addition. Had to stay quiet once our little guy went to bed but he was really well-behaved and it all worked out very well. Would definitely stay here again... minus the toddler.

Very nice property
We very much enjoyed our Columbus Day weekend here. Ed and Marti are very nice people who add a personal touch to the place. Like the description says everything is included here. Towels, toiletries, even Bock Island masks were provided! Very clean! At most rentals you have to bring everything with you but they have everything you could possibly need provided for you. Highly recommended, we hope to stay again next year!

Super cute and clean cottage
We had an AMAZING stay at this adorable cottage! The inside and out was so well maintained. Everything we needed to cook was provided, pots, pans, grill etc. The location was perfect- easy bike ride to beaches, kayaking, and downtown. Our hoats were great too! Super friendly and accommodating. We didn't have any issues and we'll definitely be back!
