Adorable Block Island Cottage with Pond

Our stay at the cottage was set up for success with early and clear communication from our host. The rental contract and expectations were outlined from the beginning, ensuring we arrived for our stay with all needed items (e.g. linens, towels, extra paper products, etc.). The cottage was very tidy and equipped with everything we needed for our stay to be comfortable. I had previously asked about certain cooking items and our host made sure that the needed cookware was present upon arrival. Despite cold and windy conditions during our visit to Block Island, we were snug and warm the whole time. A car is essential for this location, walking in to town takes about 45 brisk minutes. All the information about the ferry and navigating the island was provided by the host. We had a lovely holiday here and highly recommend staying at the cottage!

The host was personable and responsive. What a perfect cottage in a perfect place!

I came to Block Island for the wedding of a URI college friend. This cottage was affordable compared to any hotel. It has everything a single guy or couple could need. Originally planned 2 nights but it ended up being 6 due to the ferries being closed. The pond out back is not in the ad but it was great to bring my chair out there and relax on a private beach that was warm and still in October. I was able to cook a few meals at home and the kitchen was well-equipped. Theres a k-cup coffee maker so bring k-cups! Bringing a vehicle to the island is highly recommended and theres a nice driveway at this rental. Great place to stay for Block Island Race week, weddings or vacation. Can be rented with a larger cottage on the property. The host was great!I don’t know when I’ll be back but I will return.

The cottage is located in a fantastic location. We enjoyed being near a pond and even took a few casts. The host was super nice and kept in touch frequently, sharing all the important details before the trip. Bringing our car was a must since it's a bit tucked away from the main part of town, but honestly, I really liked that. We had a great stay and would definitely come back!

My 2 night stay was wonderful. Cute cottage with everything I needed. Perfect location calm atmosphere. Absolutely loved the salt pond.

Cute cottage with everything that you need for a stay on the Block. Very clean, easy check-in . Quiet neighborhood.

Perfect accommodations for us. Quiet and tranquil. The cottage was well stocked and very comfortable.

My wife and I had a great stay with our baby at Karen and Glenn’s adorable cottage. Such a relaxing and magical setting in a quiet and peaceful part of Block Island but still walking distance from New Harbor. We loved being right next to the pond and our baby enjoyed lying on a blanket in front of it watching the little turtles swim around.

The cottage was clean and the owner checked in to confirm everything was as expected. It's located in a quiet neighborhood for a calm getaway!

We enjoyed our stay at the Foc'sle. It was clean, comfortable, well equipped and in a great location. It had been about 39 years since I was last on Block Island. It was a great stay!

I believe this was our 4th time staying here and we already booked for next year. Perfect spot for 2 people. Small but cozy. Very good location on the island. Close to The Oar. The deck is a nice spot to relax after a day at the beach or hiking trails.

The location with the large pond was very picturesque and the pond is perfect for fishing in my opinion. The accommodations are large enough for a couple and the on demand hot water is more than adequate. The only down side was the well pump was rather loud and I prefer a gas grill rather than a charcoal grill for quick, eat in meals.

Cozy, bright cottage, fabulous location, great communication with the host, beautiful yard, quiet & peaceful. Thanks so much!

We had a wonderful time at Karen’s cottage. The location was great and the grounds were peaceful. It was a perfect place for my husband, young daughter and I for a long weekend. We hope to come back again soon.

This little house was cute and near all the attractions. The owners checked that we had everything there we needed. Do pay attention to all the requirements and directions!

This is my 3rd time staying here. Always Labor Day week. The cottage was great as always and I couldn't have asked for a better week.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Foc'sle cottage. It's well equipped, we found everything we needed in the kitchen. The cottage is optimally positioned on the property as well as perfectly located on the island. Not too far from town.

We had an incredible stay! Just what we were looking for and so lucky to find the week of the 4th! Can’t wait to return

Great location. Close to restaurants and water sports. Beautiful deck. Would be a bit tight if the weather wasn’t good, but we had a perfect summer stay!

Great little cottage with views of the pond and ocean from the deck. 10 minute bike ride to great beaches, restaurants and the center of town. Very simple, but has everything you need for a cozy stay.

Perfect place to stay for a few days to explore Block Island. Owner texted to check in with us. Very accommodating.

Very nice. Nice porch. Minimal water views. Slightly weird adaptation in a small place. We were looking for such a place. No dish washer. Down fall of visit was no internet access or TV reception. Owner attempted hardily to rectify issues but no resolution or offer to compensate. Needed 2 towels and had no soap.

We had an enjoyable stay. The cottage was clean and cozy. Exactly what we needed to get away. It was central to all of the sites we wanted to see. It was our first visit to Block Island. What a beautiful haven away from commercialization. Look forward to returning. Mark & Racheal Houghton
