Block Island The Way It Used To Be!!! Steps From Everything!!!
This cozy cottage embodies all that Block Island was, while being close to everything Block Island is today- 100 yards to town, 200 yards to ferry, 300 yards to beach. Situated on the property of one of the island's oldest inns this quaint 3 bedroom bungalow was designed and hand built by one of Block Island's most cherished architects. Nestled on a hill, you'll be away from the hustle and bustle but immediate access to it all. Walk to breakfast, walk to lunch, walk to dinner. Plus, Ocean Views from both 2nd floor bedrooms!

The White House/ The Big House
We stayed in very comfortable accommodations for the holiday weekend. The house exceeded our expectations and the owner was easily accessible and very generous! The location was close to the old harbor and we had beautiful views of the pristine water. I
would highly recommend staying here.

Perfect location for our girls trip!
A group of 6 of us came to celebrate a 50th birthday. We couldn’t get a vehicle pass for the ferry, so we hoofed up the hill to the house. It was a short walk from the ferry. We rented bicycles and rode or walked all over the island.
The house was a perfect home base for our adventures. It’s isn’t a luxury home, but Spring clean, comfortable, has all the things we needed for a long weekend, and the location couldn’t be beat.
There were houses close by with guests also celebrating their own events, so there was a good amount of activity. We liked that. If you are looking for super quiet, this may not be the spot for you. It wasn’t at all rowdy or anything like that. We may have been the noisy group, chatting around the fire pit in the evenings.
The fire pit was ready to go for us when we got there, which was a nice surprise and a thoughtful touch. All we really needed to do was light it.
The house was clean and comfortable. Douglas’ communication was outstanding!
The Atlantic and The Spring House are just across the way and are both excellent dining experiences. The walk to the main drag with shops and restaurants was very short. There is the hill, so if mobility is an issue for anyone in your group, you may want to make sure you have a vehicle.
We all agreed we would stay there again, and probably will.

Quiet home close to old harbor
The beds are comfortable and it is quiet at night. The house is in a complex with several other houses but that was not a problem. When we arrived we had some issues with the house but the owner is very responsive and addressed them immediately. The house has air condtioning throughout. There are at least 3 windows in the house that don’t stay open (they fall down immediately). They require a stick to prop open. There are lovely breezes so having windows open is nicer than air conditioning.it is an easy walk to Atlantic and Spring Hotels.

Sweet retreat
We had had a fantastic week at this property. Douglas and Jostin were very responsive and accommodating. Three nice bedrooms, two full bathrooms, plenty of air conditioning and a nice yard. Great location with an easy walk to town and many dining options. The house could use a few updates, but is wonderful as it is.

Fabulous Stay!
We stayed for a quiet, end of summer vacation, and it was perfect in every way. It was our first time visiting Block Island and will definitely be returning to this sweet home! The beds were very comfortable. Gorgeous, peaceful location and close enough to walk to town, which everyone loved! Our host, Douglas was very easy to communicate with! Thank you!

The White House!
We arrived early and the extremely nice cleaning people let us use the bathroom and drop off a few things, it was so appreciated especially with an 18 month old! The owner called soon after and let me know the house was all set which was wonderful. It was a perfect sized home with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and an awesome outside shower. The backyard was all fenced in which was perfect! The air conditioning was great as there were some very hot days. I was grateful not to have to bring my own linens and there’s plenty of toiletry given. The bath towels were so nice too! The walk to the ferry and shops is so close by. Also the farm is close too and was so fun to go and pet the animals. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hope to go back next summer. Thank you!

Sweet Block Island cottage getaway
My friend and I adored “our” little cottage. It was charming. The living room sitting area was very welcoming. Our beds were comfortable and the linens were so fresh and smelled great. I loved the art work and charm in every room. We cooked most of our meals there which was great! We really liked being able to walk into town even though we had a car. The cottage was quiet, close to town and the ocean breeze was so nice throughout the house. We will return!

The house is just a couple of blocks from the old harbor and central New Shoreham. The host was responsive to small issues. There is a pleasant living room for folks to sit and talk. We had a great visit. I highly recommend this house.

Sweet little beach house
Cute house in a cul-de-sac of sorts. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, outside shower, everything we needed for our stay. The air conditioners all worked and there was a nice breeze when we opened the windows. Would suggest bringing some food, snacks, and drinks with you onto the island as prices are a little steep. There is plenty of room to store drinks and food in the house. The beds were comfortable and clean. The island is beautiful. The house is a short walk from the ferry and downtown.

Walking Distance to Downtown Shops & Dining
Due to Tropical Storm Henri, ferry service was cancelled for our original arrival date so we arrived a day late. Owner graciously offered us an extra day at the end of our stay, although our schedule didn't permit us to use it.
Cottage is located at the top of High Street with other cottages in close proximity. We didn't bring our car, so we did quite a bit of walking to and from - the hardest part was arriving to our cottage with our luggage (thankfully had wheels!) and returning with our beach gear. Walk to town beach was 1.3 miles, but there are closer beaches, like Ballards.
Upon arrival, cottage was missing towels - contacted owner and that was quickly rectified by cleaners. The backyard was a bit of a mess - grass very long and lawn chairs were dirty, but given the recent storm it was understandable. Outdoor shower was nice, but could use a latch to keep the door shut.
Air conditioning units kept the place cool. Kitchen wares could use updating and some plumbing fixtures in one of the bathrooms were loose/falling out. We just didn't use that shower. All in all, a comfortable rustic cottage in a good location to explore Block Island.
