About this house rental
Please read the full description:
The Barn is an idyllic, peaceful escape from the summertime crowds in town. Located on the bluffs above Long Island Sound, it has a spectacular view of passing boats and sunsets from the large windows on the west side, and sweeping views of the Audubon property from the open hayloft doors on the east An outside stairway leads to the upper floor of the Barn, one large space with a king-size bed built up for views to the west and a queen-size bed at the other end. The bathroom with shower is a separate room with a window above the sink overlooking rolling fields and the sunrise. The kitchen area has granite counters and two sinks and is furnished with a small fridge, an electric two-burner cooker, coffee machine, toaster oven, etc. The ground floor of the Barn is used as a studio/sculpture gallery and as storage for vehicles in the winter… not used when guests are in residence.
The separate driveway to the Barn passes the owner's large vegetable and flower garden. There is a picnic table and charcoal grill, hammock and Adirondack chairs for relaxing in the sun. The property has a private path to the rocky beach, excellent for surf-casting, beach combing and picnics. Swimming is not recommended because of the difficulty in getting in and out of the water over the stones.
Suitable for a couple or a small family, the Barn at Schooner Point is romantic. A car is strongly recommended because it is at the end of a long dirt road, about 3 miles from the ferry, restaurants and swimming beaches.
The barn is not winterized so strong winds from the west and east can make it drafty inside. There is a vented kerosene heater which works well to heat the space. It is possible to be comfortable in the barn in November and December if it is not too windy or bitterly cold.

The barn was absolutely beautiful, the location, the rustic eclectic interior and the views were to die for. My partner and I stayed for a week and although we love BI we loved coming back to our getaway to enjoy the spectacular ocean view and the skies filled with stars at night. I would highly recommend this stay and Leslie was a pleasure to work with on arrival time and just being welcoming.

We stayed a week for our honeymoon and loved it. The ocean views were magical and fantastic. We especially enjoyed the sea breeze and the quiet location.

We had a lovely week at the beautifully situated Barn at Schooner Point. Sleeping on the raised super-comfortable bed while feeling the cool breeze and hearing the sounds of the ocean was deeply restful and sweet. And waking up to the expansive views and the sounds of birds chirping, amazing!
The Barn is charming and not at all generic, which means you know you are someplace special. And the grounds are simply gorgeous.
Although Leslie and Sean’s house is on the property, The Barn is completely private as they are very respectful and kind, yet appropriately responsive when needed.
As others have mentioned, it is far away from town and swimmable beaches, but that is also what makes it so great.
And yes, it is indeed rustic, so if slick and convenient are top priorities, this is not the place for you. But if you seek natural beauty and want to get away from it all, then this…this is the place.

We stayed at the barn for a weekend and our first trip to Block Island and this location was spectacular. It is off the beaten path- quite literally! Dirt roads getting to the property and many cab companies don't know how to get there. The barn was set up with everything we needed for a quick getaway to the island. It is rustic as the description says, so likely not for everyone, but we enjoyed it.

Thank you so very much , hope to return in the very near future

This beautiful property is right on the ocean and it is very private and away from all of the busyness of town. We loved our time together and will definitely go back. The owners are absolutely lovely and kind.

My boyfriend and I stay in Block Island every year on our anniversary. We found this beautiful barn last year and knew we had to stay there this year. The property is absolutely breathtaking and the host are so sweet! We had our own private beach and enjoyed the sunsets on both nights. I will definitely be booking same time next year!

This was our 35th anniversary and my 60th birthday celebration. I had been yearning to get back to Block Island for more than 45 years, having happy childhood memories of two summer vacations spent there. We chose this property because it was away from the crowds in town and we are still very covid cautious. I also love old barns and that sealed the deal. When we arrived, we were a little taken aback by just HOW remote it was and to call it rustic is a little of an understatement, but we quickly fell in love with this place and the beauty that surrounds it. We had a wonderful week, going to bed watching the sunset and waking up to deer in the meadow all around us. If you are looking for a 5-star hotel will all the amenities, this is not it. If you are looking for peace, tranquility, romance and beauty, this is the place to stay. We will hold the memory of this vacation close to us and hope to be back.

The location of the property is special. Leslie and Sean were great and replied to all questions. It is rustic but the pictures are accurate. We are planning on this being a yearly trip.

The views are amazing. The sunrise and sunsets are something that you have to experience. They were breath taking. Everything about this spot says you need to stay here! So happy we were finally able to experience this piece of paradise!

Can't think of a better place to be in Block Island, especially in the off season (October). Spectacular ocean view from the king size bed. We were totally comfortable even through a couple of cool and extremely windy days and nights. Hosts were wonderful and we'd love to stay there again.
The only hassle (easily resolved) was directions: best GPS coordinate for us was 893 Southwest Road (Cooneymus Road to Dicken's Road to SW Road all the way to the Hackett property and "barn" signs at the end).

The place was the perfect secret hideaway with an amazing view of the ocean and sunset. The trail down to the private beach offered a peaceful walk, and the beach had a lot to explore. A storm came through that extended our stay, but we couldn't have picked a better spot to be. The hosts were awesome, and extremely accommodating. The best hosts that I have had the pleasure of meeting! Thank you.

The barn was a great experience for my wife and I, we had one of the best sunsets I have ever seen one of the nights. Would definitely suggest staying there, very peaceful.

The barn had everything we needed for a wonderful relaxing vacation. The views are like none other. I highly recommend this place.

The Barn at the SW point of Block Island is a fantastic location for a remote getaway with sweeping ocean views in a rural setting. It’s a rustic accommodation with no A/C but the breeze is good and the bed is very comfortable. If you are into nature, privacy, quiet and the ocean, this is the place for you. If you want an experience at a hotel in town and near bars, this is not your place. We will be back.

We had a great two night stay (2 adults and 2 children). The views and location were beautiful. The barn was comfortable and perfect for the 4 of us for a couple nights on the island.

The Barn has a lot of potential I think it could use a good deep cleaning. The location we were given was 893 schooners point. When it was actually south west road. We ended up in some neighbors driveway and he wasn't happy about it. And the driveway could use a good mowing.
The beach was as described and it was quiet and peaceful.

Do as little or as much as you want…this is the perfect place. Away from downtown, but close enough, we spent out time relaxing, whether at the beach, a restaurant, or just sitting watching the ocean in our private yard. Can wait for next time.

This is a fabulous place to get away from everything.
We happened to go at the end of April because we needed to get away from everything and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect place.
The setting is beautiful. You can hear the ocean from the barn and the sunsets are breathtaking. Most mornings we woke to hear pheasants and see them running around in the field.
April on Block Island is very quiet with few of the crowds that you would have in the summer, so touring on the island was very easy. This was our first visit to the island and we were entranced.
Leslie and Sean are great hosts. We communicated with them regularly for different things and they were always very responsive.
One note I will make to travelers is that, depending on your cell carrier, cell service can be spotty. So, you should make sure to download offline Google maps for Block Island. This will ensure that you can get everywhere you want. No worries once you get to the barn because Leslie has a 5G home hotspot which makes it easy to connect with your 5G mobile hotspot or cell phone to the outside world - if that is what you want.
It is also very easy to ignore the outside world and just enjoy the quiet solitude of the setting.

You can see both spectacular sunset and sunrise, how crazy is that? Awesome place!

Beautiful “barn” cottage right on the water, so peaceful and perfect. The views of the ocean, open fields, sunsets, sunrise, moonrise, stars and open fields with deer just amazing place to be! The house was adorable and very comfortable. We loved this place. The price was very affordable too. Thank you so much.

What a beautiful location. Quiet with amazing views. Barn is rustic. We loved drinking our morning coffee while sitting on the Adirondack chairs admiring the view. The deer were everywhere. If you want a relaxing and private spot, this is the place!

Rustic getaway
Had a fabulous time recharging with my husband and son! Very simple and rustic but had everything one would need. Stunning sunsets and memories to last a lifetime! If you are simple and don’t need to be close to town then this little gem is the perfect getaway for the island.

Slice of Heaven
This is our second sty at the Barn and once again it did not dissapoint.There are many activities to do on the Isalnd but we were often content to just sit in the Adirondak chairs and enjoy the view or to follow the path from the property and take long walks on the beach. The hosts are responsive and there if you need thembut they are totally unobtrusive. We will absolutly retun!

Another great stay!
Had another amazing visit to Block Island and the Barn! Love the property, and our favorite part is the short walk to the rocky beach to end each day! Thanks, Leslie for another great visit!
