The 2 acre property features an expansive lawn (great for kids to run and play!), includes a hammock, young fruit trees and an organic garden you are welcome to enjoy. The kitchenette has a full size refrigerator, microwave, stove, Keurig and drip coffee makers, and Brita water pitcher. There is a small dining table that does expand to seat 4.

GUEST ACCESS
The entire rental and all of the grounds are available for guest use. You have your own balcony, grill, 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, there is nothing/nobody beneath you, and 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 rooms for rent which share a private full bath and entrance, mini fridge and Keurig coffee maker)
Regrettably, we generally cannot accommodate pets*, as we have our own little maltese on the property already.

This is a spot you won't want to pass up, perfect as always. The hosts could not have been more accommodating to our needs, especially during what turned out to be a crazy weekend of weather and ferry delays due to the storm. They are the most understanding and easily accessible hosts - while also allowing for maximum privacy during your stay. Our family just loves this cozy cottage retreat - exactly as described and pictured, in the perfect BI location.
This location exceeded our expectations! We were there with our 10 month old. It was private, walking location to town, a private patio, extremely clean and highly recommend!
Ilas place was perfect! We had a great stay, with everything that we needed. We will definitely be back!
Great stay with AC and walkable to town. Comfortable for a family of 4. Thanks!
We loved our week stay at Ila's cottage. It was private and the deck was very spacious. Loved the location and the outdoor shower. Everything was comfy and clean and, although the kitchen was small, had everything we needed. Would definitely come back here again in the future
It was a perfect stay.
This property is an absolute gem!! I’ve stayed in BI many times and this is by far our favorite. It was myself and my two daughters (ages 15 & 7) and we all loved it. The location is great and it had everything we needed to feel like home. The beds were so comfortable. The best part is the deck! The property owners (Ila and Marty) were so accommodating. Hoping to book again for next year!
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!
Once again, this accommodation did not disappoint. It is our third year staying in this quaint cottage and it was again perfectly suited for our family of four. We love Block Island, and all that it has to offer - we experience new places and things with each visit! This accommodation is very clean and well taken care of. Owner on property, but extremely private accommodation. Communication with the owner cannot be beat as she truly cares that renters enjoy their stay. We hope we are not outgrowing this accommodation as it has been just perfect with our two young children under 10. Block Island and this peaceful cottage will always hold special memories for our family!
Spent the month of September in this well-equipped, and spacious 2-bedroom apartment. Our Block Island lodging came with all the amenities: AC, outdoor deck & grill, towels and sheets, enormous flat screen TV, beach chairs and all necessary kitchen utensils, cutlery, plates, glasses, pots & pans. Walking distance to 1661 Garden & Animal Farm and into town. Although we had a car (ample parking available too!) we usually rode bikes to the beach and to the great restaurants in New Harbor. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this apartment for a delightful, peaceful vacation.
This is a terrific place with all the comforts of home, close to the beach and town, and with kind and generous hosts who make sure you have everything you need. Zero complaints other than we could only stay for one week.
This was the perfect place for our family vacation. The location is great - very easy walk to town for dinner and/or ice cream. My kids loved playing in the lovely yard and the cottage had everything we needed. Ila was a great host and responded quickly to questions. We will definitely book again for our next Block Island vacation
This above garage apartment is immaculate and perfect for a family of 4. Spacious bedrooms and bathroom, fantastic outdoor shower, cozy kitchenette and living area… and the deck… fantastic and spacious. Ila and her husband will provide you with just about anything you need that may not be in the apartment. They respect your privacy as well. So gracious!!! Close walk/bike to town makes it even better. The property is gorgeous and we were able to pick some veggies from the garden. Hoping to go back next year!
Our stay at the cottage was great. Everything was just as described in the listing. The cottage was clean, the deck was great for sitting and relaxing, and the beds were super comfortable. It was also so nice to have the extra special touches - including the fresh flowers to welcome us!
From windswept deck to seafaring cottage perfect home-base Isle location Gracious hosts complete w a classic veggie garden Marty Alan and Isaac what an early am !! We’ll be back Steve and Holly Andresen Hudson Valley, NY 7/17/22
We loved this spot. Ila and her husband were generous and friendly hosts. They lent us beach chairs, sand toys, etc, and I am sure they would have offered us just about anything else we asked for. The deck was large and was a great place to visit with family that came over for the day. The bathroom is quite large and having the washer and dryer allowed us to pack light. We have an 8 year old so having the school playground across the street was super convenient. Very quiet and private location but still plenty close enough to walk/ride your bikes to Old Harbor or honestly anywhere on the island. When super windy the deck umbrella had a mind of its own and should be better secured and the Wifi wasn't the best for my son's standards :-) but that isn't why we were here. This island has a special place in my husband and I's hearts and we love that we could spend the whole week here and relax in this lovely space. If you have a small family or a couple traveling this is a perfect place to rent. We can't wait to come back.
My family of 4 has been coming to Block Island for years and the past two, have stayed in this perfect cottage. Accommodations are exactly as pictured and described. We will be back again to this spotless cottage that has it all, provided by the perfect hosts. My review from last June still applies, hope to be back once again!
