About this property

Sterling House Summar

Summary:
Welcome to your home away from home—where comfort, convenience, and connection come together. This centrally located Block Island escape is just a short walk from Old Harbor (only 0.25 miles to the ferry), so you can easily enjoy shops, restaurants, and beaches without needing a car.
Designed with families and multi-generational groups in mind, the home’s thoughtful layout allows everyone to gather together while still having space to spread out. With two inviting living rooms and extra kitchenette spaces, it’s ideal for extended families or two households vacationing together.

Guests often comment on the home’s exceptional cleanliness and refreshingly uncluttered design, which makes it easy to settle in and feel instantly at ease. The well-stocked kitchen has everything you need for family meals, plus extra refrigerator space for larger groups.

The house features five comfortable bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, all with modern amenities and A/C for those warm summer days. All linens, towels, and soap basics are provided for your convenience.

Step outside to enjoy a private, partially fenced backyard with plenty of seating and dining areas—perfect for children to play safely or for adults to unwind with a glass of wine under the stars. Guests love the peaceful privacy this space provides, along with the lovely Island and ocean views from the front of the house that make every morning special.

You’ll also find an outdoor shower, beach towels, and beach chairs provided for your beach days— so just pack your suitcase and relax.

Located in a friendly, close-knit neighborhood, this home observes quiet hours from 10 PM to 8 AM, ensuring a peaceful stay for all.
