Amazing spot, pictures don’t do it justice.

Villakula was the perfect summer escape for our family of 13 ranging in ages from 5-70. The entire property inside and out is beautiful and well appointed. Block Island itself is full of activity for any outdoor enthusiast. However, you barely need to leave the comforts of your house to enjoy all the island has to offer. Sweeping ocean views, amazing sunsets, swimming, yard games and easy access to the island trail system right out the back door. Plenty to keep all ages and interests occupied. If you’re looking to relax and unwind, this is the place for you!

Our family had a wonderful time ! This property is in a great spot with everything you could think of on the premises . Definitely would recommend!!

A wonderful place to spend a fall weekend with friends. Plenty of room, lovely location, well-stocked kitchen. Only issue was the single bathroom being shared by the downstairs bedrooms - 5 people with 1 bath. But that was overshadowed by all the other amazing features.

Above and beyond our expectations

My family had a wonderful week at Villakula! We loved the pool and all of the games in the game room. We also loved going for nature walks on the nearby Greenway. We had a warm week and were worried about no AC but there were plenty of fans as promised so we did our best to stay cool. Highly recommend

The Heated pool made the week!

What a house!! We had a great weekend getaway, the house was so beautiful, there was room for everyone to have their own space while still getting to be together. We watched a beautiful sunset from the wrap around deck and the pool was a great way to spend a lazy Saturday! The grounds were perfect, it was private, quiet and just very relaxing! Thanks for a wonderful weekend!

The house was beautiful! The weather was not great but the house had so much to offer! It was super easy to check in. I would highly recommend this property!

We had a wonderful 25th anniversary celebration here. The house, property, and long-distance ocean views are even more beautiful than pictured. The house is well maintained and perfectly set up to keep a large group happy and comfortable, with plenty of room for adults and tweens/teens to spread out. One unexpected maintenance issue did occur, but the property manager and owner were highly responsive and resolved the situation to our complete satisfaction.

This was our second year staying at "Villakula", and we enjoyed it even more. By far, our favorite part of the property is the wonderfully open living room space, combined with the fantastic outside deck.

This house is perfect for a family reunion or multi-couple get away. House was clean and beautiful. The grounds, pool, and view were amazing. Great kitchen for cooking big meals and has all the things you would need putting together a nice meal. We would definitely rent this house again!

This house will absolutely blow you away. Many bedrooms, baths, wonderfully heated pool, so much decking, seating areas everywhere. When the pool stopped heating on day 2, they were incredibly responsive about getting it quickly fixed. We would highly recommend to all!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villakula! We have rented many homes and this one is the most well equipped and comfortable. We would definitely rent this home again!

We stayed at villakula with 14 friends/family members the week of tropical storm Jose. If you are going to be stuck indoors this is the house to be in ! Everyone on trip had an amazing time despite the weather and we owe it to the house. The whole downstairs is a game room plus bar with wine chiller. Plenty of board games in addition to pool table, ping pong , pinball machine ( this was a huge hit) and many others. We were worried about refrigerator space but were please there was another refrigerator downstairs. This house really was stocked with everything one would need. We have rented many other houses in BI and this was the best in terms of appliances, cookware etc. I was very impressed! Being with a large group it never felt crowded the ceilings are very high and there is so much space you can’t see from pictures. My son loves riding his scooter around the wraparound deck. We even had some brave folks that used the pool which is also a rarity on BI and would be amazing with we had sun. Plenty of yard space for activity outside. Bottom line was this house was gorgeous and probably tops my list of favorites on BI. Thank you to the owner for sharing your home with us and allowing us to create wonderful memories this year. Suzann was great to work with. She will answer any questions you may have and is prompt at responding. I would highly recommend you try villakula for your next group vacation, you won’t be disappointed!!!

Leslie Taylor's home was perfect for our group to come together in. Although the photos are beautiful, they do not do this amazing home justice. Our group of forty somethings stayed with our children in this amazing Block Island rental. We were greeted by the most gorgeous, gigantic bouquet of hydrangea I've ever seen and a tub delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies. This set the tone for our happy vacation. We all frolicked in the pool and gazed at the stunning views by day and then, as we watched the sun set, we ate amazing meals prepared in Leslie's gourmet kitchen. What a pleasure her kitchen is to cook in! There is nothing you could want for: every size platter, ramekin, or covered dish! All Clad pots and pans, JA Henckles cutlery (sharp!), and giant butcher blocks (please don't cut her counters!) at every turn make prepping and preparing large meals a breeze. The poolside grill keeps the grill master part of the party while being the mealtime hero. How fun to make s'mores with the kids in the poolside fire pit while a few adults handle cleanup. High end appliances and a deep, wide sink made dish duty fast and easy. Other amenities include an awesome deck that surrounds the house. The deck is periodically punctuated by giant planters bursting with gorgeous blooms, rocking chairs, or Adirondack chairs as well as dining tables and coffee tables. The stunning view of the Atlantic is the perfect backdrop for your family photo. While the deck railings are not technically "child safe", this did not stop us from running races around the house with our youngsters as others packed up the cars. Parents of babies/toddlers should be cautious, but our parties' three and four year olds were able to stay away from the edges. And then, when it's time to come inside, there is the game room. Pool, shuffle board, and pinball! Ping pong, cards, roulette, poker and board games! Everywhere you turn in this home you will either find a peaceful escape or a way to be entertained. We will be back each year for as long as the Taylor family continues to offer their their amazing home as a rental property and are happy to have us. We are so grateful to have been guests in this perfect block island home.

This property was divine. It was well appointed, bright and comfortable. We loved the huge heated pool for swimming at all times of day or night. The adults were on the upper level with beautiful views and privacy with bedrooms in the four corners of the house. The grandchildren had their private space on the ground level with games galore and their own access to the grounds. The wraparound deck was well appointed with comfortable furniture and shade if desired. We filled the house but did not feel crowded. It is a well planned home and well maintained. Let me not forget the property manager, who was always there to answer and help with our needs. We had a wonderful vacation.

The house has amazing views of Block Island Sound. The pool was an added bonus

The view was breathless. The house was well maintained with so much to do including an awesome game room, bar, and pool area. Very quiet area away from the hustle and bustle of Old Harbor.

The whole family was able to get together even if it was at different times and the pool and the decks were wonderful. The house was very user friendly and the outside grill was great. Thank you for being so helpful Suzann.
