About this property
Top location, walking distance to beach and town
Slow Down. Breathe. Welcome to Block Island.
Just 12 miles from what locals call “America,” Block Island offers something rare these days—pure, unhurried relaxation. The moment you step off the ferry, schedules fade, dress codes vanish, and life’s pace shifts to island time. Here, “getting dressed up” means trading your swimsuit for shorts, and a trip to the post office can be the highlight of the afternoon. Bring your family, your bikes, and your sense of adventure, and savor this way of life for a week (or more!) this summer.
Your Island Retreat
Our clean, comfortable two-bedroom apartment is perfectly located—just a short walk to town, beaches, shops, and restaurants. Attached to the main house but with private front and back entrances, it’s been thoughtfully updated with:
* New windows and doors for a quieter, more comfortable stay
* Energy-efficient heat/AC splits in every room
* Beautiful hardwood floors throughout
* Fast, reliable broadband for work or play
We personally clean and prepare the apartment each week, ensuring it’s exactly the way we would want to find it.
Comfortable Living
* Sleeps up to 5 guests (queen, queen/double bunk + trundle)
* Each bedroom has a closet, bureau, and ceiling fan (plus AC in every room)
* Fully equipped kitchen with cookware, coffee maker, toaster, microwave, and extras like wine openers and measuring cups
* Cozy living room with ceiling fan and natural light
* Outdoor Space & Extras
* Charming front porch with rockers
* Spacious backyard with play structure
* Harbor Pond access for kayaking or canoeing
* Gas grill and outdoor shower
* Ample space for bikes and beach gear
The Perfect Location
Steps from the grocery store (aka “our pantry”), the Bagel Shop, the bank, and great dining. No car needed—but if you bring one, off-street parking is included.
Optional Services
* Linen package (sheets, bath towels, beach towels) – $125
* End-of-stay garbage removal – $35
Plan Ahead
We’ve been welcoming guests for 32 years, and many return year after year. Our calendar usually fills by March 1—so if Block Island is calling your name, book early to secure your week in paradise.
