We had a lovely stay for our second year in a row. Melanie is an exceptional host! The house itself is not only new, beautiful, and well-maintained but it couldn't be in a more perfect location - walking distance to all of the best beaches, shops and restaurants. We always wish we can stay longer and look forward to coming back again next year!

Outstanding space and location!

We had a wonderful stay, if I could give 100 stars I would. Excellent location, close to town and shops — yet absolutely quiet when we wanted to retreat and relax. Excellent layout. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Another fantastic week

This is the second time I’ve had the opportunity to stay at this property. The first being three years ago. Everything about the stay was wonderful. The communication with owners, the house and its offerings, the cleanliness of it upon arrival, the location, everything. Only negativity about the stay was that we didn’t book 2 weeks instead of 1. Would definitely recommend and hope to have the opportunity to rent it again next year!

Awesome location

We had a wonderful long weekend stay! The house was beautifully appointed for our large group. The host was very responsive during our stay. And the location was the best part! There are ocean views from the front porch, where we spent most of our time! Would absolutely recommend and hope to return!

Beautiful BI Weekend

We had a wonderful family event weekend at Melanie's BI home. The home is an amazing beach home and was just perfect for the weekend. Melanie was so easy to work with and super helpful as we navigated some ferry cancellations, etc. Looking forward to being able to rent this BI home in the future!

Staying at this property is always wonderful. The house is clean and comes with a wide variety of amenities (chairs, towels (shower and beach), clamming rakes, corn hole, etc). Location is perfect for walking downtown and eating out without having to drive. 5 stars.

The perfect Block Island Stay!

This is a beautiful house in the most perfect location - steps from Old Harbor and the beach and with plenty to do, see, eat in the neighborhood. The house is bigger than the pictures do it justice, and there’s an awesome downstairs with bedroom, TV, couch, kitchen and playroom/games. If you want a gorgeous house with amazing ocean views and steps to the best restaurants and bars, then this is the place to stay! We can’t wait to be back again next year!

Idyllic Location for Family Stay

The Reeves property is in an ideal location on the island. Close to the ferry, Crescent beach, and centralized restaurants. The beautifully appointed interior makes for a clean and spacious gathering space. The interior is only second to the views from the front porch. This relaxing inviting retreat is perfect for family to gather and have access to the best of Block Island. Melanie, the host, is attentive and responsive.
