Property is exactly as described in the description. Ila was amazing, her recommendations and check-ins to assure that we were 100% happy was greatly appreciated. We will be back.

While there’s no common area, the two bedrooms each have two twin beds. The outdoor shower is fantastic. It’s a great place to stay with friends for the weekend. Everything was very clean. A short walk to town. The hammock and yard are gorgeous so we barely spent any time inside anyways. We ran in to Ila and she is so nice and fun! I would definitely stay here again.

From the moment we got there, the homeowner welcomed us with cold drinks in the refrigerator and cookies, along with other essentials to make our family of four comfortable. The house was spotless, beds comfortable and the outdoor shower was amazing! The homeowners were extremely responsive, yet also offered total privacy. The location was very convenient to downtown restaurants and beaches. We are looking forward to visiting again next summer!

Wonderful space, fantastic hosts

Perfect retreat for a small family. Rooms and property are just as described and the host was fantastic!

Staying with Ila is always wonderful, she was very accommodating and the property was very nice. We hope to be back next year!

Ila continues to maintain a great little property that our family loves renting out each year. The cottage is a short walk down the hill to downtown, and Ila goes out of her way to make the stay as pleasant as possible. She even left our children with a copy of “Blockopoly” to take back with them. Thanks again!

I enjoyed the stay at this location at the height of the summer on Block Island. It was close to the downtown and even though there were no kitchen facilities, we did not miss them. The outdoor shower was a plus especially if you spend time on the beaches. The owners were quite accommodating with my requests including assisting me in getting my luggage to the boat and a place to store it while I waited for the boat. I also happened to stay a little too long beyond check out, but they were gracious in accommodating me in spite of my confusion. I highly recommend this rental.

The Happy Cottage was perfect! The cottage was very charming and perfect for our stay. Fresh flowers in each bedroom, use of the beautiful yard, grill and firepit. Less than a half mile to Old Harbor, a very easy walk. Ila was a wonderful host who couldn’t have done more for us. Gave us Blockopoly to play, a kite to fly on the beach, firewood for the firepit. One highlight of the trip was seeing Ila driving the Grand Marshalll in the 4th of July parade! We were so lucky to have found this cottage and it having availability on the 4th of July week. We would definitely recommend the Happy Cottage to others.

This is an absolutely wonderful place to stay. The property is pristine and has gorgeous flowering gardens everywhere. After 30 years of coming to Block Island and staying at many many luxury homes, this was an absolute treasure. The residence was incredibly clean while having all the most thoughtful touches. We were very comfortable for over a 2 week stay. The beds are very comfortable, with ergonomic mattresses,The outdoor shower was Heaven on earth amd perfect after a day playing in the sea.Best of all were our hosts, Ila is kind,warm,and made us feel very welcome. We had plenty of privacy and anytime we had a special request, she responded immediately. The proximity to town was so convenient and the property was very quiet. Treat yourselves and stay here, it’s so special and we hope to return! Thank you Ila! We loved staying at your home!!💚💚

This lovely, quiet 2 bedroom apartment was truly wonderful. The space was spotless, beds were comfortable, AC was a plus, and the grounds are beautiful. It's an easy walk to town and yet away from the noise and crowds. Ila was so easy to work with and very welcoming. I look forward to staying again!

Everything as advertised except better. Great location and efficient space and super helpful hosts that went above and beyond.

Ila's house is lovely and the accommodations were perfect. The location is perfect -- close to town but quiet with a bucolic backyard. The outdoor shower was really terrific, especially since the indoor shower had a low ceiling (it's an old house kept in nice condition). I truly hope my family can return one day to the island paradise that is Block Island and Ila's place is a fantastic place to stay.

A lovely cottage with private entrance and bath. Ila, our host, was wonderful. Friendly and helpful. The rooms & bath were very clean. A/C was a blessing due to humidity! Close to town and restaurants/shops etc. Highly recommend. Would book again.

Again this property was perfect for us. An air conditioned property on this week was a necessity. Ila was the perfect host and we would highly recommend anyone to stay at her place. Very clean and the kids LOVE her! Thank you so much again.

Nice place to enjoy Block Island

Exactly what we expected. Two comfortable rooms close to town. Lovely hosts. Great outdoor shower. Thank you Ila!

All you need for a good summer vacation

Homeowner was lovely and very accommodating!

Our family loved our stay at the Happy Cottage! The beds are comfy and having our own private entrance and bath made us feel like we were in our own home. We didn’t miss having living or kitchen space as we were out and about all day, and the apartment is outfitted with a mini fridge/freezer and Keurig machine (Thank you, Ila for the extra Chai pods)! There’s a brand-new grill, umbrella table, and nice chairs for lounging and the outdoor shower is awesome! Ila was so generous and even gave our kids a “Blockopoly” game to take home. Clean, comfy, quiet, and highly recommended!

Ila and her property were equally exceptional. Loved our experience. We will be back!

clean welcoming good location friendly hosts

Exemplary

Wonderful accommodations! Beautiful location, fantastic host! We will be back next year!!

It was a nice relaxing getaway. Definitely rent bikes to get places quicker and easier.

Perfect quiet place to stay. Loved the outdoor shower! Comfy beds too!

Block Island life is how life should be always. Transported to a simpler life.

We enjoyed this place very much. Perfect for 4 people and exactly as described/pictured. Beautiful backyard. Great friendly hosts.

Ila takes great care of her guests. She is warm, friendly and genuine. I feel like we had an instant bond- my whole group loved her. The property is serene, quiet and beautiful! The rooms look exactly as pictured.
