This is the third year we have stayed at this property and I cannot say enough about how wonderful it has been for our family! I think I say every year... location, location, location! "Walk to Mansion Beach" does not do the description justice as this year my 'now-one-year-older' grandchildren remarked that the path to the beach seems sooo much shorter! It seriously takes minutes! Ann and Scott know what a family needs for the perfect Block Island beach stay and have provided it all... boogie boards, beach chairs, beach toys and towels, and a very cool wagon to carry it in! The kitchen is well appointed, we never said "I wish they had this or that..." and we loved eating all our meals on the spacious outdoor porch. My grandchildren call the outdooor shower their "summer shower" and almost no one showered indoors. There is a very large, flat and private yard for games, etc, and room for kids to run around. The upstairs is very spacious with a private bathroom and king bed that is quite comfortable, and all 4 of the other bedrooms are roomy with dressers and places to hang clothes. New washer and dryer and extra fridge in the garage make it quite easy for a large group. Everyone we encountered in the Minister's Lot neighborhood was so friendly and shared a great love for the area. If you want a house that feels like your very own beach cottage, this place is for you!
