Carolyn's home and grounds are stunning; she made us feel welcome and at ease. Great kitchen: we made all our own food the entirety of our stay. The back of the property abuts the major hiking trail on the island -- we recommend getting the All Trails app, which gives granular guidance from the door. There is a wonderful outdoor shower with hot water! Block Island is small, so beaches are a brief car ride or bike ride away. (The cottage is on a dirt road, so hybrid bikes are best.) We enjoyed every minute of our stay here and were sad to go.

We stayed late August in the artists cottage and were truly delighted from the moment we arrived. It's on a beautiful property close enough to town, but far from the hustle and bustle. The yard is quite large and backs up to conservation land, making it easy to go for a variety hikes, including a stunning one to the ocean. The interior of the. house could be from Home & Garden magazine. It's cozy, filled with antiques, art, oriental rugs and furnishings that make it feel personal but not stuffy. The library, yes a library, is filled with many art books, the kitchen is well appointed, beds are comfortable and the outdoor shower is lovely! We'll certainly be back again

We had a great stay at the island artist cottage! Carolyn was an excellent communicator about the check in and check out process. She even provided the local newspaper for the week events and surprised us with fresh peaches during our stay. Great location- next to several greenway trails and very quiet. The cottage had everything we needed and was very clean!

This house and property are exactly as described and pictured! Carolyn, the property manager, was very helpful with suggestions of things to do, places to eat, and things to see. We would definitely recommend this property for your Block Island vacation.

We had a great week at Carolyn's beautiful cottage. The house is very well cared for and perfect for a relaxing family trip. We especially enjoyed being able to pass through the stone wall at the back edge of the property to explore several hiking trails that pass right by the house. Carolyn was also a great host - she gave us some fun local recommendations for our family, including an ideal spot for finding hermit crabs that was a big hit with the kids! The cottage is in a quiet private location with a nice yard to relax in at the end of the day, but also conveniently central for visiting Block Island's beaches and other attractions.

Charming home and grounds. Carolyn was a pleasure and went above and beyond our every need. Highly recommended!

My wife, two little boys and I feel incredibly thankful to have spent a week at Carolyn's home this summer. The house and surrounding grounds are truly magical. She has clearly put a lot of time and love into creating a sanctuary in the lush green hills of Block Island. Her artistic background comes through in the gardens and structures, and styling throughout the house. This is an actual home--rather than a rental property--and it feels that way. The house is located adjacent to incredible trails that will ultimately take you to the ocean. It's a quick drive to the action in town and a number of different beaches. Carolyn was great as a host as well, giving us pointers on activities, weather, food, and ensuring we felt comfortable and enjoyed ourselves throughout our stay. She even brought us a beautiful bouquet of flowers from the garden! We've stayed in countless rentals over the years; this one was truly special. Thanks, Carolyn, for everything!

We loved this property, away from the touristy part of the island. A very cozy place to stay.
