About the host
Hosted by Cathy and Joe DeCesare
Our family has had a long term connection with Block Island. We vacationed on the island as children ourselves and have continued the tradition with our own children. Our 5 children love the island, and have grown up enjoying summer vacations on island with extended family and good friends.
