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.

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!
