Slow Down. Breathe. Welcome to Block Island.

Just 12 miles from what locals call “America,” Block Island offers something rare these days—pure, unhurried relaxation. The moment you step off the ferry, schedules fade, dress codes vanish, and life’s pace shifts to island time. Here, “getting dressed up” means trading your swimsuit for shorts, and a trip to the post office can be the highlight of the afternoon. Bring your family, your bikes, and your sense of adventure, and savor this way of life for a week (or more!) this summer.

Your Island Retreat
Our clean, comfortable two-bedroom apartment is perfectly located—just a short walk to town, beaches, shops, and restaurants. Attached to the main house but with private front and back entrances, it’s been thoughtfully updated with:

* New windows and doors for a quieter, more comfortable stay
* Energy-efficient heat/AC splits in every room
* Beautiful hardwood floors throughout
* Fast, reliable broadband for work or play

We personally clean and prepare the apartment each week, ensuring it’s exactly the way we would want to find it.

* Spacious backyard with play structure

* Ample space for bikes and beach gear

The Perfect Location

Steps from the grocery store (aka “our pantry”), the Bagel Shop, the bank, and great dining. No car needed—but if you bring one, off-street parking is included.

Optional Services

* End-of-stay garbage removal – $35

    Great location with large private back yard, kayak water access to Harbor Pond, water views, short walk to grocery store, near beaches. Apartment had excellent cooling with fans and individual room AC units. Hosts very friendly and accommodating.

    We had the best time in BI! This cottage is perfect for a small family. The owners couldn’t have been nicer. Location was perfect and the backyard was very large. The kids loved running around, playing on the swings, having a fire and going out in the row boat. We can’t wait to come back!

    What a beautiful rental in proximity to everything, this place had it all, convenience, cleanliness, terrific owner communications and explanations, we will stay here again if we ever come to beautiful Block Island. We especially loved the yard with corn hole, fire pit and beautiful water view complete with daily visits from the deer. Just spectacular. Thank You Beth and family for everything.

    My friends and I had a fantastic time here! It's within a couple blocks of multiple restaurants, bars, a grocery store, and a liquor store. The couple that live in the attached house were the absolute nicest people and were more than welcoming. They even gave us advice on things to do in the area. The outdoor shower, cornhole boards, lawn chairs, and hammocks put this place over the top! Would rent again in a heartbeat.

    Very close to the town, ferry, and beach. Walking distance to everything. Perfect for a small family. Beth and her family were excellent hosts! Highly recommended.

    My family and I (husband and 2 year old daughter) stayed at the rental in August 2017 for a week. We had to bring a car because of the amount of stuff we had but you don't need one here. Walking distance to Old Harbor, shops, restaurants, beach, grocery store - you name it. We didn't spend much time inside except to sleep but everything was clean, as pictured/listed and decorated nicely. We loved the backyard, the swing for our child, sitting on the front porch and people watching, sitting by the fire at night and roasting smores, playing cornhole, the view of the pond and easily walking into town. My favorite was the outdoor shower - I miss it already. The only negative is that sometimes you can hear the bars at night but the fan drowned out the noise and didn't really bother us. That just means you're that close to the action! As mentioned in the listing, the owners are adjacent to the rental. We found them to be very friendly, helpful, respectful of our privacy and welcoming. Pro tip - if you're bringing a vehicle - get your reservation ASAP. We love Block Island and cannot wait to come back to this property next summer.

    First, the picture is deceiving. This is a live in apartment and there is no privacy. You share the backyard with the owners. Upon checkout the owner made us do a walk through and said she was upset that the sheets were dirty and that she had to clean them. She yelled at us like two year olds.

    From the first day I email the owner of this property, to our last day of vacation there, the owner was very helpful and by being helpful she made our stay there GREAT. She email me about the PeaPod food delivery to the island, left a book with activities to do on the island. And most of all made her home feel welcome to us. The photos of the inside of the cottage was accurate and very clean, as well as the outside. Yard was well maintained. We BBQ outside in the yard, stayed out at night and watch the stars. Everything you would want outside was at your finger tips right there. We even had dinner on the front porch. Location of this property was more than what you would ask for. You could walk anywhere with in 5 to 15 mins to get to a beach, restaurant or store. I would recommend this place to everyone I know that would like to stay on Block Island. We are looking forward to going back to the same location next year.

    It was our first time to Block Island and we will definitely return! The property was close to everything and perfect for our family vacation. We especially enjoyed the swing set and grill - we hung out and cooked in most nights at the house since it was so inviting. The island is amazing. We enjoyed visiting different beaches and nature trails each day. They were each uniquely different. We were very active throughout the week and there is still so much more for us to see. We can't wait to return. The owners were extremely responsive and accommodating. The house was very well maintained and everything was perfect!
