About this property

Private 2BR Peach Cottage. Easy walk to Old Harbor!

SUMMARY
Immaculate 2BR free standing "Peach Cottage" on two manicured sprawling acres. Less than a half mile from the intersection of High St & Water St, you'll be a quick 10-15 minute walk (all sidewalk) to the ferry, Old Harbor, the beach, nightlife, and family-friendly activities. Great for couples, friends, solo adventurers, and families. 2BR/1BA.

**Most questions are answered in the very lengthy description below!**

THE SPACE
Sleep 4 (maximum overnight occupancy) in this immaculate rental. Built in 2015 with all new everything, overlooks a beautifully landscaped property and is just minutes from Old Harbor by foot. This beautifully appointed 2nd floor free-standing unit (there is nothing beneath you but an unused garage space) features 2 bedrooms: one queen, and one with two singles. There is a full bath indoors, plus a bonus outdoor second shower. Skylights, plenty of windows throughout, ceiling fans and central air ensure a wonderful island experience!

The 2 acre property features an expansive lawn (great for kids to run and play!), includes a hammock, fruit trees and an organic garden you are welcome to enjoy. The kitchenette has a refrigerator, microwave, stove plate, Keurig and drip coffee makers. There is a small dining table that does expand to seat 4. We provide all the basics (cutlery, dishes, cookware), so you can dine in, or enjoy the gorgeous view on your private spacious balcony - complete with your own grill, peach tree! and ample seating for friends.

The cozy living room features a large Vizio HDTV, complimentary WiFi and Cable TV. The full bathroom (indoors) includes a pristine walk-in shower, complimentary amenities (soap, shampoo/conditioner, hair dryer), and new mini washer & dryer (for a few items at a time). The outdoor shower offers both hot and cold water. The unit boasts ample storage with plenty of cabinet space, 3 closets, and a full size dresser. Solid oak floors throughout.

GUEST ACCESS
The entire rental and all of the grounds are available for guest use. You have your own balcony, grill, space for your bicycles and parking for up to 2 cars. The spacious, well kept yard is especially kid-friendly, though we have none of our own (so the property is nice and quiet, should you be seeking a peaceful retreat).

The owners are on property in the main house should you need anything, but you have total privacy as the rental is separate.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
The apartment is a single floor unit located on the second storey of a detatched unused garage, there is nobody beneath you. You do need to ascend a flight of outdoor stairs to access the unit. Maximum overnight occupancy is 4 people. While we welcome you to invite guests over, we ask that you limit it to 6 persons. (Need extra space for guests? We have an additional 2 bedrooms for rent in the main house on the property, which share a private entrance, staircase, and full bath)

Regrettably, we generally cannot accommodate pets*, as we have our own little maltese on the property already.

*on rare occasion, we may be able to permit one small (under 12 lbs) female dog per stay for an additional non-refundable one time pet fee of $100. please inquire.

WHAT IS PROVIDED/WHAT TO BRING
We provide basic linens and bathroom towels (indoor use only, please bring your own beach towels), a few rolls of TP and paper towel (long term guests will likely need to bring additional toiletries/sundries/etc). The kitchen has dishes and basic cooking utensils, a few K-cups for the Keurig, and there's also shampoo, and a small laundry detergent

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
A stone's throw (less than half a mile) from Old Harbor, you are about a 10-15 minute walk away (all sidewalk!). Nearby amenities are the local school playground (close enough to walk to, far enough not to hear any 'school' noise), Empire Movie Theater, scooter rental, the ferry, and all the shopping and yummy restaurants you can handle on Water Street.

GETTING AROUND
We are close to the ferry, the airport, and all of the fun that Old Harbor has to offer! You can walk to Old Harbor, the ferry, restaurants, shopping, nightlife, etc on one of the few sidewalk lined streets on Block Island. You'll love the convenience, privacy, and outdoor space that this rental offers, you can leave the car at home and just bring your sneakers!

Lovely Beach Cottage

This property is absolutely amazing. It's cozy, comfortable and spotless! I stayed with my daughter (8 yrs old) and niece (13 yrs old) and it was absolutely perfect. Ila and Marty were so hospitable.

Lovely family rental close to town

We had a very nice stay here and enjoyed being close to town so our teens could ride their bikes there. Easy walk as well. Our hosts were lovely, kind, and very accommodating. They made us feel welcome with special little extra touches. The rental is on property but private and nice and quiet. There is no stove but has 2 cooktops and a grill so wasn’t an issue for us. We loved our stay here, thank you Ila, Marty, and Kari Jo!

A perfect spot for a week on beautiful Block Island! Ila has thought of everything. The apartment was sparkling clean, had everything we could need, and was so close to town and walkable to some of our favorite restaurants. I would not hesitate to stay here again and again! It made for a truly enjoyable and relaxing week.

Quaint Block Island Hideaway

This property is a cute apartment on a lovely property. It is walking distance to New Shoreham, where there are shops, restaurants and ice cream parlors. The apartment was very clean, the bedrooms are a nice size & the beds are comfortable, the kitchen and bathroom are very functional and updated. The porch is wonderful for a morning cup of coffee with beautiful views of the rolling hills. Ila was very kind and helpful, she made everything easy and relaxed.

Sheer perfection! The host was there to meet us, with fresh flowers for the house. The deck faces east and south, has plenty of comfy furniture, and was fantastic for watching the sunrise. Ample parking, even for my big truck. The outdoor shower was delightful. She had beach toys and other items available for our use. The sofa was comfy. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans. Every kind of coffee maker; drip, Keurig, French Press. Soda Stream. Microwave, and a nice toaster oven. The beds were very comfy. A mini-split in the main room, and each bedroom kept the whole place temperate. There was also a large standing fan, if you choose to go green. With the windows open, the fresh air streams through the house. The shower had plenty of hot water, with excellent pressure. There is a small washer and dryer, both worked perfectly. The entire space is bright, airy, and clean. It is a 10-minute walk to town, all sidewalk. If I had to find one suggestion, it would be an ice maker. There isn't one in the refrigerator, but there are ice trays.

If you’re looking for a cute, clean, comfortable place to stay, this is it. This property is a short 10 minute walk from town. It was stocked with everything we needed and more, including beach chairs. We spent a lot of time on the beautiful deck overlooking a beautiful yard, including a vegetable garden and peach tree. Host Ila was kind and generous. We will definitely be back next year!

The best!

Ila and Marty were such wonderful, accommodating hosts! As soon as we finished unloading our luggage, we realized my 3 year old had pushed the ignition button on my car, which drained our battery. Marty had a device that powered our battery enough to turn our car back on, saving the day!! The unit itself was well appointed, clean, comfortable and quiet. It was the perfect place for our little family to stay. We had a great time. Thanks so much, Ila and Marty!!
