Block Island, Rhode Island
**2024 bookings open now - only a few weeks left!**
This classic Block Island cottage boasts the best location for beach lovers with only a two-minute walk to Mansion Beach, the island’s most picturesque bathing beach. One of the first four vacation homes built here in the 1950s, the home was first expanded in the 1980s and updated in 2018 with a completely new kitchen as well as new hardwood floors, exterior windows, interior & exterior doors, and platform beds and mattresses. Both of the bathrooms were renovated in 2022.
The cottage has four bedrooms, each with a queen bed, and two full baths (one in the master bedroom suite). Thanks to the open plan of the kitchen, living and dining room, you can always enjoy the ocean view and watch the ferryboats passing by. The wrap-around deck has the same eastern view and is the perfect spot for breakfast or sunbathing. With large, level lawns in both front and back, the property is great for wiffle ball, frisbee, soccer, kite flying, and nighttime stargazing. The house sits high and usually enjoys cool cross-breezes, but there is central HVAC if needed.
Please note that the house rents from Friday to Friday, when car reservations are generally easier to get. Your rental fee includes use of linens, bath and beach towels, beach chairs & umbrellas, and a BBQ grill. The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware and utensils and the washer & dryer were brand new in 2021.
Our family has owned this house since it was built by our grandfather, who first visited Block Island in the 1920s. We will be happy to share our intimate knowledge of this beautiful place, including the best hikes (like Clay Head Trail, which is nearby and could figure into your daily exercise), restaurants, nightspots and shops. But once you are on the property and settled in, you might find you don’t need or want to go anywhere else!
Jane was a pleasure to rent from, we were lucky to find her and her rental. The house was terrific, clean and easy access to the beach. We will be back! Josh
Convenience to beach, trails, town. Just perfect! Very well equipped house. Everything you need!
scenic with great floor plan and easy access to mansion beach. loved the view!! we have visited BI many times and this by far was our favorite stay
This was the perfect beach house house for our family. Great location, we enjoyed being close to the beach and away from town. This house is thoughtfully maintained, clean and spacious for our family of 4. Looking forward to returning!
Beautiful house and the location was just what we wanted. The photos don't do it justice. Only complaint would be the really early check out and late check in times - that was hard to manage with the family and I should have noticed when booking (my fault). But Jane is wonderful to work with and I highly recommend. The whole family loved it.
This property is amazing, and located steps away from one of the best beaches on BI - I can't wait to come back.
The house is great. Very clean with four bedrooms, open concept big living room and kitchen and huge yard. Location could not be better with very quick access to Mansion Beach. Jane was a terrific host. Highly recommend!!
Location and proximity to the beach was just what we wanted. Great living space, comfy beds, great beach equipment I wish the bathrooms were a bit cleaner. I know my family would love to make it an annual event!
Truly the perfect getaway. The location made gearing up for the beach unnecessary, no planning, just put on your suit and walk down. No fear of forgetting something, just walk back. The open flow of the house made it easy to keep a little distant while chilling together, but still plenty of places to be alone with a book. We cooked and baked several times daily and were quite happy with cookware and storage. Clean, well thought out kitchen. Bright and open with lots of counter space. It was a wonderful, relaxing vacation!
This house made for a perfect late summer getaway. The layout of the house is amazing with a modern kitchen, nice size bedrooms, and plenty of space to enjoy time with the family. The location to mansion beach is prime, whether you want to sit on the beach with your morning coffee or spend the entire day in the sand, it couldn’t be any easier as the entrance is literally right across the road from the house. Also, from the time we intially booked the house right up until the time we checked out, the owner Jane was extremely nice to work with and easily accessible to provide info or answer any questions that we had. I would highly recommend this property to anyone tarveling to BI.
