Quintessential Block Island home that we absolutely loved. The house was clean and stocked with most of the essentials. Direct beach access to Crescent Beach, a wonderful outdoor shower, and a beautiful back deck... what else could you ask for? Will definitely be coming back!

Well that was an adventure! Our visit coincided with the first Nor'Easter of the season. It was a big one! Block Island is such a unique place that the weather just put a completely different, but fun, spin on the trip. We had a blast. We really got to know the island and a lot of locals. The property was New England charm throughout and roomy enough that we were very comfortable even if the weather was nasty. The short walk to the beach was a real pleasure. Our host did a great job of helping us navigate the ever changing ferry schedules.Our plan for a quiet, off-season get away was all that and more. We hope to get back!

We have rented many vacation homes all over Block/the country/Caribbean from every end of the comfort/luxury/cost/amenity/size spectrum...this is one of our all-time favorites, almost all in thanks to location and nostalgia. If you are looking for the most modern, up-to-date, luxurious rental, this is not the property for you. But if you want old school Block when things were simple and charming and you could truly escape, I have yet to find a house better on the island. It comes with everything you actually need, except for linens & towels. No A/C was not an issue for the week we were there, as there was almost always a constant cross breeze & temps only reached high 70s. The ONLY addition we wished for was an umbrella or shade on the lower deck. The views of the water & GSP were incredible, the walk to the beach short & easy (though may be tough coming back up the trail for someone who has trouble walking in the sand), the property is a quick trip to town or NH, walking distance to Andy's Way & Clay Head. The location cannot be beat. And finally, one of our favorites was (for the nights we weren't AT Shoals) listening to the music from Shoals on the deck, drink in hand. Robert was so responsive and appreciated. All in all, the cottage & property were incredible as long as you set your expectations to true a Block cottage where you can escape but yet still be in the mix.

Wonderful Block Island Cottage

We had a terrific time during our return trip to BI. A lovely quaint home in a convenient location. Well equipped kitchen, cozy bedrooms and bright sun porches. Neighborhood is a small community of newer homes. rather busy, but close walk to the beach.

The house is cute but it needs some love and updating. When our children used the outdoor shower, we found a number of old hairbands, old soaps and shampoos left inside, and an empty vodka can lodged in the back of the shower door  Overall, the property does not feel particularly clean, or suitable for children, especially in light of the price paid for the stay, even acknowledging that this is peak season.We have also noticed that the small bedroom has a very strong odor, which appears to be that of a dead mouse  In addition, we have found that approximately three-quarters of the light switches in the property are not functioning, and there is no guide provided explaining the layout of the house or how to find anything, which has made it quite difficult to navigate.There’s also like 40 chairs and sofas. It isn’t particularly well laid out. It could be a really cute house but just needs some real attention. It’s in a great location, although very close to a development of other houses. I love the block. Been coming for 40 years. Sadly this won’t make the cut next time.

Location and property are excellent - Beautiful and tranquil setting! The house is cute and “cottagey” downstairs but the upstairs is more of an old cabin vibe. It was okay with family but if we had been sharing with other couples it would not have been ideal and there’s no mention of this in the description of the house. Small rooms, low slanted ceilings, old bathroom and only one shared closet for 3 BRs. Would work for kids but something to keep in mind for adults sharing the house.

Great location, lovely house

We had a great stay, fortunately the weather was excellent every day except one, and then we put together a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle we found at the house. The kitchen was surprisingly well-stocked including a few staples in the pantry. Be aware that the house does not have A/C which was only a problem on the nights when we didn’t have a strong breeze off the ocean. The beds weren’t the most comfortable but we managed. The beach here was beautiful, not crowded and clean, and a short walk from the house.

Great week

The house was perfect for our family. Short walk to a private beach with great surf. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking our freshly dug clams; stuffies & liguini with clam sauce. Hung out on both the upstairs & back decks and watched the daily parade of deer and pheasants. Weather was great right up to the last couple days when the wind picked up to the point where all ferries to/from BI were cancelled. Since the next renters couldn’t get in, we were allowed to stay another night after a brief text and phone exchange. Greatly appreciated. We’ll definitely be back

delightful beach house...loved the knotty pine and beach access. The beds need to be addressed...they are 2 queens and 1 full size bed (which cannot sleep two adults!). The mattresses are very uncomfortable and the entire beds are VERY squeaky and wobbly...I would suggest replacing all the beds. Also, the furniture in the rest of the house does not accommodate 6 adults comfortably. TV room only had seating for 4 and the sofa was worn out and uncomfortable. The kitchen table allowed only 4 with two additional at the kitchen counter on stools...not ideal. There are two other living type rooms but again, not enough seating for all 6 adults. Made it difficult to enjoy games or watch TV on the rainy day for the entire group.

Great location -steps to beach!

We have been renting on Block Island for years. You cannot beat this location. Just far away enough from the hustle and bustle of downtown but close enough to make a quick run to a restaurant or shopping. The beach was down a private path and on some days we were the only ones there making it seem like it was private. We love mansion beach so we had the best of both worlds. A quiet serene beach that leads into Mansion beach with a short beach walk. The house is well taken care of and had everything that we needed in terms of space and bathrooms. As veteran Block Islanders who have stayed in many different homes you learn to bring most things because you can’t expect everything in each home. But compared to a lot of homes in BI this home was well stocked. Additionally the lack of WiFi was not an issue for us as we expect that on the island and used a hotspot if needed. Our kids barely needed their devices since we were at the beach, biking, and enjoying the island. Would love to come again. My kids are already asking about next year!

Great location and fun cozy home

We had a very nice time staying in this home, and for the most part, when we had questions, the owner was EXTREMELY responsive. The only thing that I would change is that it wasn’t my past experience (or that of my friends who’ve rented on the island for years) to have to bring our own linens and bath and beach towels, and doing so can be all more complicated when having to travel to an island. I also am grateful to have asked a couple days in advance because it wasn’t communicated and I actually had to go buy sheets for 2 of the beds. Same goes for the fact that the home lacked WiFi (although my understanding from the owner is that this will be fixed when broadband is brought to the island next year). Unfortunately it seemed that the dishwasher (which was fairly new) had a circuit issue and we never got to use it (except as a drying rack after washing everything by hand). Kitchen was a great size though, and had everything needed in terms of pots, pans, cutlery, etc, with the exception of spices (not even salt air sugar), and also bring your own laundry detergent, dish soap, toiletries, TP, paper towels, etc (which is often fully stocked at other rentals). That said, the views of both the ocean and the pond were breathtaking, especially from the upper deck, and the home was warm and inviting with amazing cross breezes and fans where needed. We had a great week with many memories!

Great location and price

We enjoyed Robert's rental! The absolute best part was the private beach access. We were happy that beach chairs were available for us to use and some beach toys. The washer and dryer was great for our longer rental. The house has great hot water for showers. The extra half bath helped with 5 of us staying there. The listing says 3.5 baths because Robert includes the outdoor shower. Actually the house has 1 full bath, 1 half bath and an outdoor shower. The not so great...many supplies were not included. We brought our own linens and towels, which is understandable because of COVID. But we also had to buy toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher detergent, hand soap and we almost bought laundry & dish soap (there were almost empty bottles there that we used). The location and neighborhood was wonderful. Sometimes it was hard to get a hold of Robert but he was very quick to respond when we had a slight issue with the dishwasher. I did get the feeling that he wanted us to have a comfortable stay. I would not recommend this house to a younger crowd looking for loads of entertainment options. For me, it was great since I wanted to detach from all that however my boys were not happy with the lack of WIFI, smaller tv, no DVD and no way to cast their devices to the tv. Overall we had a wonderful stay at Robert's place but with some attention to details, Robert can make his rental even better!
