What a wonderful stay !
The house was perfect for the six of us and our pups. We enjoyed cooking and had everything we needed. The bedrooms were big and we had alot of space . The property is beautiful and loved the morning Rooster from the neighbor. Block Island is our happy place . The ferries shut down due to the hurricane coming up the coast . We stayed 3 additional days and it was wonderful . Hiking and searching for Orbs. Joe and Kathy we more than accommodating . Thank you for everything we really appreciate your kindness and look forward to staying again.

A wonderful private getaway in Block Island
I loved everything about this property. It's secluded and private, but just a short bike or drive into Old or New Harbor. The property is expansive with lots of wildlife. Kids and dogs would love running around the big grassy yard. I enjoyed the quiet setting, stargazing at night (wow!), and even calm rainy nights at home - the couch is so cozy. The kitchen had everything we needed and having a washer/dryer was very convenient! I think the only complaints someone could possibly have is lack of AC or that the door openings could be low for the tall folks... The house comes with plenty of fans (though I find BI to be cool and comfortable even in the summer) and if you're under 6ft you probably won't notice the ceiling/door heights. It's super cool to stay in a piece of history and I give this property 5 stars - can't wait to return!

Weekend get away
We had a nice time. The home is very old but quaint. It has a lot of character. Wouldn’t want to be there in the heat of the summer with no a/c but for us it was cool. The oven is not working and it is a big inconvenience having to bring own bed linens & towels. Otherwise we enjoyed the house the island and the company very much!

Vintage charm
As listed, this is a beautiful old house with a lot of charm. It is located in a picturesque, quiet area with easy access to explore the island. An ideal place to stay as we spent the weekend celebrating a friend’s wedding.
Having to bring our own linens over on the ferry is a little inconvenient but manageable.

Great 4 nights on Block Island
The house has plenty of room for 2 couples and one single. Beds are comfortable.
Well situated. Very attractive grounds. Good seating for eating together.
Were disappointed that the oven didn't work. We had very good communication with Joe about this though. He really tried to get it fixed, but it's an island....
Could also wish for better lighting in the living room for reading.
The steep stairs and low ceilings were definitely a thing, but we were warned, and we managed.
All in all, I recommend the place, especially as Joe and Cathy are very responsive.

Our family loved the house and huge yard. Our kids loved staying in the oldest house on the island and knowing it had timber from a ship. The giant couch was so comfortable and could seat all of us with space. The outside shower and separate foot wash areas were great. Excellent and communicative hosts.

Great Base Camp for BI
We shared this house with another family for a week and had a wonderful time.
The house is in a great location with a large private yard, great for kids and dogs. Easy bike ride to both harbors, we used bikes almost exclusively with the exeption of getting to the Northern parts of the island.
House has good character and fit 4 adults and 3 kids comfortably. We cooked in most nights and had everything we needed (food aside).
Highly recommended for a nice beach get away!

Terrific getaway!
This property is amazing! We felt like we had our own country club because the property is secluded and so peaceful. It is close to a lot of walking/hiking trails and a short walk to town. The only drawback is that no linen service is provided and schlepping linens and towels was an inconvenience. We would definitely book this place again.
