  My 5 sisters-in-law, my niece and I spent the weekend at the Hartnett house in October. The weather was beautiful which helped to make the whole weekend extremely enjoyable. We spent most of our time sitting on the deck overlooking the ocean. The view and sound were amazing and soooo relaxing. The house is away from town-private and peaceful. The rocky beach is a great place to sit and watch the sailboats go by. The house itself is beautiful and the view from every level is amazing. Erin was extremely accommodating, which really helped us out. This was the first time to the island for all of us and I know we will be back again. Thank you for sharing your wonderful place with us!

  Just came back from our 20th wedding anniversary weekend. My husband and I had the most amazing time at this beautiful seaside home. The house is very well appointed and the owners have added special touches. Views from every level are breathtaking and invirgorating. We are hoping to return in the spring with our 4 children. perfect property.....

  We enjoyed our stay at the bluff house. It is in a wonderful location--very quiet. The view out to the ocean was great and we spent much time watching the surfers. The Hartnetts were attentive to our needs and went out of their way to work through some minor issues with the electrical system. My one caution is that the location of the third bedroom, off master bedroom on the top floor, is not ideal for all groups. We had three couples and it was awkward for one of them to have to walk through the master bedroom to go to/from their room. The description above is clear about this arrangement, I neglected to read it closely. One suggestion for our hosts, given the goal of green living, an outdoor clothesline would be a welcome addition.

  We wanted to get away and do nothing and that was exactly what we did. The biggest decision to make is were to sit and enjoy the view and sounds!! This home is beautiful and extremely relaxing. You can not beat the environment if you want to get away from it all. My disabled mother was able to relax and enjoy herself. She loved the views!!!!

  Our family had a beautiful relaxing time at this house...removed from town, private beach to explore, amazing house (with eco-consciousness)...yet a 5 min drive to town & beach...perfect! We have a 4 1/2 yr old & 22 month old plus the in laws were able to stay in their own private bedroom & bath on a separate floor. It was perfect for all!

  I just returned from a week long stay at the property-I enjoyed our stay-the home is definitely in a remote part of the island which is ideal for getting away from it all. A 4 wheel drive vehicle is ideal as there are some dirt roads you need to drive on but nothing too bad. The view of the water from the deck is simply awesome. We enjoyed grilling and having drinks overlooking the ocean. The house is on a rocky beach so it is not great for swimming but I brought some rock shoes and my surfboard and made my way out to the water a few times. I wish we figured out a way to get our kayaks there as that would have been ideal as that side of the island the water is pretty calm. I enjoyed surfcasting from the property as well however the striped bass sadly were not too cooperative that week but I did manage a few. I hope to return to the house next year but we decided one week for us was too short as time really flies by Thanks for sharing your home with us-it was my first of what I hope is many trips to the island

  The house and property are incredible! My girlfriends and I celebrated my 50th birthday here and this was the perfect setting and location for the 6 of us. From the moment we arrived, we were filled with peacefulness and joy. The view is amazing and the layout of the house is warm and inviting. The beach is filled with beautiful rocks and driftwood. The house has everything you need for a memorable and relaxing vacation. You won't want to leave! Many thanks to the owners, Leslie and Sean. I look forward to coming back here again.

  Just returned from a week of surf fishing from this great property. What a fantastic location, off the beaten path and very private. Sunsets over the water and a great view from all rooms! Give it a try!

  LOVE this house! We had so much fun here on our great getaway! The house is perfect - wide open floor plan so you don't miss a thing while you're hanging out on the couches, mixing cocktails or cooking dinner. It was a perfect set-up for (7) busy, hard working Moms to escape. The sound of the surf was soothing and the patio/deck was a great spot to unwind (just need chair cushions). Good workout walking the beach - definitely need sneakers. Owners, Sean & Leslie were very hospitable. Hope you liked the treats. We look forward to making this an annual tradition. Thank you!!

  Owner response: We're so glad you enjoyed the house and your visit to Block Island! Please do come again. We'll get on those chair cushions.... (they were in our shed, sorry) .... and we'll be adding more lounge chairs, umbrella, etc. We all thank you for the delicious treats! Best wishes, Leslie and Sean

  My wife and daughter and I just spent a wonderful ten days at this house and had a fabulous time. The layout of the house, with bedrooms above and below the kitchen/living room floor made it ideal for both privacy and family time. Each time we returned to the house from a trip into town there was a great sigh of relief at the peace and spiritual feeling in the air. The beach had more beautiful rocks in one place than any other I have ever seen. The appliances were new, the house well kept, and all in all it was the perfect getaway spot. Kudos to the owners.
