Excellent House and Host

We had a wonderful stay on the island for the weekend. The house is very cozy and the host was excellent. We would highly recommend this house to anyone who’s staying on the island. Thank you to Katie, Arnie and Duke!

We got there and the place had not been cleaned. We tried to contact the owner and he never responded. We finally had to contact VIRBO and they couldn’t reach him either. We got our money back in full but we had to scramble for a place to stay that night. We were on island and we had limited options. It was very disappointing

Second time staying at Arnie's place

I stayed at Arnie's place, on the 2nd level, with a friend of mine, while our husband's were fishing off Block Island for a few days. This is my second time staying with Arnie. Previously, I have rented his studio-style apartment, when visiting with my husband. Arnie's place is a good location. We flew in from Westerly airport, and could literally walk from the airport to Arnie's in less than 5 minutes. It's also about a 15-20 minute walk over to Payne's Dock and about the same amount of time to walk into town. If you want an affordable option, that's removed from the busyness of being in town or right near Mahogany Shoals, but don't want to be completely remote, this is a very good in-between :)

Stay in Block Island

The house was as described and was comfortable for our family. The check-in process was easy, but without a lock box we did need to take time out of our day to meet the owner for the key. The owner was helpful and responsive.

Enjoyable Stay

The property was exactly as listed. Arnie met us when we arrived and walked us through the apartment. We've been to Block Island before so we knew our way around but Arnie was very nice and I would not have hesitated to reach out to him for suggestions of things to do or places to eat. Overall it was a very enjoyable stay.

Great vacation

Our family had a wonderful stay at Arnie's center road apartment. Apartment was as described in listing. We found space to be bigger than it appears in pictures which was a plus. Great location. It is on the corner of a road so you do hear traffic but it was not bothersome to us. Apartment was clean and well stocked with supplies, beds were comfortable. Outdoor shower was a plus for the kids. Arnie was very pleasant and available if we needed anything. We would definitely stay here again!
