Prime location
Awesome week at Claudia’s Surf City! The location can’t be beat and the Island never disappoints. The beach is across the street, kayaking is off the backyard, town and hiking all within walking distance.

Grateful for this house❤️
We had the most relaxing, fun and rejuvenating vacation at Claudia’s Surf City. The house is in a great location to walk to restaurants or across the street to swim at the beach. Laying on a hammock or drinking coffee on the porch with an ocean breeze is the best. We loved the records and eclectic nature of the house. The host is immediately responsive and kind. We can’t wait to return.

Lots to love, unless you expect Clean.
Claudia's Surf City was as described, in terms of location and fun, funky style to the home. Lots of great details, like the indoor hammock, wrap around porch, record player, amazing outdoor shower. Unfortunately, cleanliness was a major issue. Upon arriving, I immediately contacted the owner regarding the layers of dirt, dust, and mold, dirty socks and a blood stained mattress cover in the room where I was making up the beds for my boys to sleep. I was told to send pics (which I did). The next morning, as I tried to unpack (we arrived late, so there was plenty of time for a cleaning to occur) I was not able to unpack anything without first wiping everything down. Everything, everywhere. Black mold in/on the refrigerator, hair in the toaster, silverfish bugs in all the books, layers of dust and dirt on everything in all rooms. It took me many, many hours to clean just to unpack. I asked for the cleaner to come back as this was not at all how I envisioned "vacation", but was told that my expectations of clean were not a good fit for this house, and I should pack up and leave (alone with my 7 and 9 year old boys, an 11 month old puppy, a hurricane hitting the area and mid-pandemic, this was almost laughable). If there were some attention paid to cleaning the house, it would be an awesome place to call home for a week or so. But for over 12 grand, I would think "clean" is not an outrageous expectation.

About the host

Hosted by Claudia Dowling

Host profile image
A former journalist (People, Life) and now vacation rental owner on Block Island, once known as Claudia's Island, Claudia Glenn Dowling seldom travels without a truckload of substandard chairs. Google Claudia's Surf City.

Why they chose this property

I ran a surf shop in the summer, but renting my houses was a better business. We transformed the surf shop adding lavish bathrooms and driftwood stair railings. Claudia's Surf City is now the sine qua non of a classic beach house.

What makes this property unique

Unlike most houses on Block Island, we are on the beach. The house is also walking distance from town, but set back far enough from the road for privacy.
