About this property

In Town Hideaway for a Block Island Getaway!!!

Leave the car and bring the bikes to this cute and cozy Innkeeper's cottage for what was once one of the oldest hotels on island. This 3 bedroom gem sits 100 yards from the statue of Rebecca at the Well and a short walk to everything you want on BI: Restaurants, shops, and Beaches. Leave your cares behind and enjoy the breathtaking views of the harbor, the Atlantic, and ferry boats making their way to and from the mainland.

Fantastic stay at an amazing location

We were 3 families staying at the property. Excellent home, close to downtown and good outdoor space. Close to other homes on the property but has everything one would need. Water for showers is hot, AC was cold and kitchen was well appointed. Thanks to Doug for a fantastic stay.

Great house

This house is perfectly located and was enough space for 3 couples. My cousins, our husbands and I stayed here and had an amazing weekend. The owner of the property was more than accommodating and was easy to contact. We would highly recommend this home for your stay on Block Island.

Snug cottage in a great in-town location with views of the water and the town. Very comfortable with a nice little porch and side yard. We had a wonderful time.

Steps away from all the action

Nice tidy property just up from downtown. Everything as advertised, great owner communication. Our kids (in their 20's) loved the spot. No need for a car!

Perfect!

We enjoyed ourselves so much! From the kindness of the owner to let us check in early (we had a 1 month old and a 2.5 year old!!) and everything you could possibly need to prepare food, to a beautiful porch for morning coffee and the closeness town and the beach, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute! We had to leave early due to my dad passing and the folks at the ferry went above and beyond to get us on the earliest ferry out. We are hoping to stay again next year. It’s paradise!

Noteworthy Renovations!

My family and I have been staying at this property for the past 14 years and have experienced a few different owners. This year we were pleasantly surprised to see some much needed improvements! Improvements that made our stay even that more enjoyable. This included a 2nd bathroom, outdoor shower and a washer and dryer! The house was freshly painted, the floors redone and new furniture! Although we aren't in the house much to enjoy the added TV's or wifi they are a great benefit on a bad weather day. There was even a brand new grill! We had contemplated this being our last time in this house since everyone is growing up and growing out of the space but these welcomed additions have changed our minds! Douglas and Molly were also wonderful hosts. Molly was there on our first day to greet us and make sure everything we needed was available. Douglas was also reachable if we had any questions! Congratulations to them for renewing the property that had much needed TLC. Looking forward to year 15!

Awesome place! Great Location

We are a family of 5 but kids brought friends which made 7 of us! We absolutely loved this location as it's literally a 5 minute walk up high street near the ferry and ballards. We took our car because we brought our own food etc. But we didn't really use it only to drive around the island. We stayed at Ballards at the beach for 2 days so it was perfect for all of us to walk. Next door was an amazing farm with Camels, lemurs, kangaroos, and much more! We found it because someone told us to stop over and they had music. The house was clean very well stocked with towels, beach chairs, cooking utensils, pans, sheets, pillows, and blankets. The owner Douglas was very attentive and very nice. Next time we go back to the island we will most certainly be staying here! Thank you Douglas for an incredible vacation! We truly loved every moment of being there together as a family.

Nice home

Our family really enjoyed staying at the blue house. It was well equipped to make meals, enough room for five adults, loved spending time on the front porch, and we were able to walk to town. We would definitely rent again.

Perfect stay for 3 couples exploring Block Island

Excellent Place !!! Perfect hideaway for 3 couples to explore Block Island. Clean, quiet and fairy close to the Ferry just a short walk up a slight hill. Because it's such a nice place in a convenient location, when we return to Block Island, we will stay here again.
