Comfort, privacy, accessible. Great location with a spacious property. Amazingly breezy house with old charm and everything you need to escape. Joe and Cathy were so welcoming and available for any questions we had. Thank you for a memorable week!

The stay was wonderful and the house was perfect. Thank you

We had a nice time. The home is very old but quaint. It has a lot of character. Wouldn’t want to be there in the heat of the summer with no a/c but for us it was cool. The oven is not working and it is a big inconvenience having to bring own bed linens & towels. Otherwise we enjoyed the house the island and the company very much!

Had a wonderful time on block Island the house was beautiful. The grounds were awesome and it was convenient to the wedding venue and an easy trip to restaurants in scenic areas.

I stayed with friends & spouse & had a wonderful time. There was 5 of us, not including my large dog, & thete was plenty of room. We enjoyed sitting on the patio for breakfast & then 5p cocktails. Very peaceful & the view was spectacular.

We had a wonderful stay!

As listed, this is a beautiful old house with a lot of charm. It is located in a picturesque, quiet area with easy access to explore the island. An ideal place to stay as we spent the weekend celebrating a friend’s wedding. Having to bring our own linens over on the ferry is a little inconvenient but manageable.

This was a perfect place for my family and me to stay. It was close to town, had a huge yard that the kids enjoyed playing in, and a great family room to watch tv or play in during the evening. Very clean and accommodating.

The house has plenty of room for 2 couples and one single. Beds are comfortable. Well situated. Very attractive grounds. Good seating for eating together. Were disappointed that the oven didn't work. We had very good communication with Joe about this though. He really tried to get it fixed, but it's an island.... Could also wish for better lighting in the living room for reading. The steep stairs and low ceilings were definitely a thing, but we were warned, and we managed. All in all, I recommend the place, especially as Joe and Cathy are very responsive.

Had a great time. Hopefully we’ll be back soon.

Our family loved the house and huge yard. Our kids loved staying in the oldest house on the island and knowing it had timber from a ship. The giant couch was so comfortable and could seat all of us with space. The outside shower and separate foot wash areas were great. Excellent and communicative hosts.

We shared this house with another family for a week and had a wonderful time. The house is in a great location with a large private yard, great for kids and dogs. Easy bike ride to both harbors, we used bikes almost exclusively with the exeption of getting to the Northern parts of the island. House has good character and fit 4 adults and 3 kids comfortably. We cooked in most nights and had everything we needed (food aside). Highly recommended for a nice beach get away!

The home is spotless with beautiful lawns AND central to all the activities. The home owners are attentive and helpful. Double thumbs up all around!

This property is amazing! We felt like we had our own country club because the property is secluded and so peaceful. It is close to a lot of walking/hiking trails and a short walk to town. The only drawback is that no linen service is provided and schlepping linens and towels was an inconvenience. We would definitely book this place again.

The house was conveniently located and clean although the bathroom faucet did not work and I was surprised that we had to take our trash with us

It was a wonderful place to stay... We'll be back!!

Scheduled property for a class reunion. We had a wonderful time, there was plenty of room for all and the big private yard was perfect to sit, relax and talk. Plenty to do on Block Island even though not quite beach weather We did some of the nature walks and loved it.

We just spent a week on BI in this wonderful old house (3 adults, 3 teenagers). It was so comfortable, just like being at home in my own house, but with the benefit of being on the island. We biked and walked to town daily, did drive to the beach (Scotch) because of coolers and what-not. The yard is huge, gorgeous and private. If you're looking for casual and comfortable, this is a great rental. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed here in the summer of 2008 for two weeks and it was quite lovely. We appreciate the rustic nature of the property. The charred wood beams in the homes narrow and quirky stairwell spoke of a long history and many family stories. The shabby chic cottage furnishings helped us get into the relaxed vacation spirit we desired. We had our bikes and road them easily to Town rd or old harbor. Our children enjoyed exploring the pond and woods nearby. We loved relaxing with a cocktail at the end of the day in the hammock near the stone wall, underneath mature maples, while we listened to songbirds. At night, the isolated property allowed for incredible star gazing, we saw so many falling stars one night we lost count. Convenient to center road and the airport we never felt cut off. I would encourage you to try this property if its your first time on island renting, or if you enjoy camping or rural escapes. We would go back.
