About this property
Barn at Schooner Point- A Romantic Escape
Please read the full description:
The Barn is an idyllic, peaceful escape from the summertime crowds in town. Located on the bluffs above Long Island Sound, it has a spectacular view of passing boats and sunsets from the large windows on the west side, and sweeping views of the Audubon property from the open hayloft doors on the east An outside stairway leads to the upper floor of the Barn, one large space with a king-size bed built up for views to the west and a queen-size bed at the other end. The bathroom with shower is a separate room with a window above the sink overlooking rolling fields and the sunrise. The kitchen area has granite counters and two sinks and is furnished with a small fridge, an electric two-burner cooker, coffee machine, toaster oven, etc. The ground floor of the Barn is used as a studio/sculpture gallery and as storage for vehicles in the winter… not used when guests are in residence. The separate driveway to the Barn passes the owner's large vegetable and flower garden. There is a picnic table and charcoal grill, hammock and Adirondack chairs for relaxing in the sun. The property has a private path to the rocky beach, excellent for surf-casting, beach combing and picnics. Swimming is not recommended because of the difficulty in getting in and out of the water over the stones. Suitable for a couple or a small family, the Barn at Schooner Point is romantic. A car is strongly recommended because it is at the end of a long dirt road, about 3 miles from the ferry, restaurants and swimming beaches.
The barn is not winterized so strong winds from the west and east can make it drafty inside. There is a vented kerosene heater which works well to heat the space. It is possible to be comfortable in the barn in November and December if it is not too windy or bitterly cold.

We always love the barn which is why we keep on going back. If you want a peaceful vacation, overlooking beautiful surroundings with great sunrises and sunsets, this is the place for you.
We loved our stay at the Barn! It really showed off the beauty of Block Island. It had everything we needed for our family of 3 who stayed for 3 nights. We couldn't get our car on the ferry, so we took a cab to the location. On a rainy day, we stayed at the barn to explore the beach. I've never been anywhere where the stars were so bright because there was very little light pollution. And the view from bed, pictures don't do it justice. Thank you Leslie and Sean for sharing this amazing location!
This is our second stay at the beautiful barn. It was just as wonderful as the first. Leslie and Sean are the perfect hosts! Coming to the barn is like coming home.

We’re so glad you enjoy the barn and are coming back!
Our Barn stay was truly epic. Sunrise was full of colors and looking directly West for the sunset was like a painting, so picturesque. We are heading back in the Fall and can't wait!Our hosts were so friendly and communicated immediately . 10/10 stay!
This is by far the most beautiful place I’ve ever stayed on the island. The view, the charm and romance of the barn and our amazing host Leslie are what made this stay so very special. The barn and it’s location bring out the essence and beauty that is Block Island.
We stayed a week for our honeymoon and loved it. The ocean views were magical and fantastic. We especially enjoyed the sea breeze and the quiet location.
Everything was absolutely amazing. The place was so relaxing and everything we were looking for. The hosts were spectacular and very responsive. We will definitely be back!
I went with my husband for our anniversary. It couldn’t have been more perfect. The view the location. It was breathtaking and so relaxing, which is exactly what we needed.
We had a great two night stay (2 adults and 2 children). The views and location were beautiful. The barn was comfortable and perfect for the 4 of us for a couple nights on the island.
The barn was a great experience for my wife and I, we had one of the best sunsets I have ever seen one of the nights. Would definitely suggest staying there, very peaceful.

About the host
Hosted by Leslie Hartnett
We inherited this 10 acre property from my husband's parents who bought it in 1946. The original house was built in 1840 and we have added on to it, doing all the work ourselves. We are both artists; Sean is a sculptor of stone and Leslie does reliefs in terracotta/majolica. We live 6 months in our house on the property (May-November) and 6 months in Pietrasanta, Italy (November-May. We built the Barn in 1997.
Why they chose this property
Sean's family bought the property because they fell in love with Block Island and with Schooner Point in particular. They felt it was very like Ireland with its brilliant blues and greens and its rolling stone walls. They chose this particular spot because it was far (3 miles) from the more populated parts of the island and because it was so near the ocean. In 1946 there was much to choose from but Schooner Point won their hearts.
What makes this property unique
No matter how crowded it gets in the summer on Block Island, it's always peaceful at Schooner Point. The barn is waterfront and there is a giant window overlooking the ocean. The main king size bed is built up directly in front of that window. There are large barn doors which, when open, have a beautiful view of the Audubon property.
