My family and my sister’s family spent 4 nights here over Memorial Day weekend. The house is really nice and the property is huge, with plenty of space for our combined 5 kids to run around. There are ocean views to the west which make for spectacular sunsets. The beds are very comfortable and there are ample places both indoors and outdoors to hang out. It’s a short drive to town and a quick walk to the beach, albeit past the island’s transfer station.
This would be a 5 star review aside from a few items worth noting that could be improved:
The house lacks curtains or blinds in bedrooms and bathrooms. Be prepared to wake up with the sun. The cottage bathroom especially could really use curtains for privacy.
The decks are spacious but have definite splinter potential. We got a few good ones, be careful.
The bedrooms don’t all have dressers which made unpacking suitcases difficult.
Towels, linens, and toiletries are not provided. I understand this is standard for BI, but we were surprised to learn that we were also expected to bring our own trash bags and toilet paper. We ended up finding enough at the house for our needs, so maybe this was a misunderstanding.
Overall, this was a nice place in a spectacular setting. Rob was a responsive host and the price was reasonable. We would definitely stay here again for future visits to Block Island.
