We’ve been visiting Block Island for quite a few years now and stay at different rentals each time on the island. This rental did not disappoint! Very remote and quiet for our family. With 4 very young children, it was a perfect place. The owner was very accessible for questions and the house was very clean and pleasant. The only complaint is the driveway/road access is very bumpy, but an suv has no problem on it. Overall, this retail really made our vacation this summer! I would recommend this house for those who enjoy peace away from the excitement of the town and beach crowds. We would certainly stay here again if we vacation on Block again!
We had a great week at this property. When we arrived we were amazed by how stunning the area was. The house is even prettier than the photos. It's remote which we loved as we are musicians and enjoyed playing music in the back yard. The beds are all very comfortable. Linda was so attentive to any questions that we had. It is a good distance from town so bring a car or be prepared to use a taxi, which is very easy to do. We loved our week at Linda's house. You will too!
Great house we had a blast
Our family enjoyed this house, a great place to gather with family .
First off, we love Block Island and loved our time on the island. The house's yard was also great for our young children to explore. But we had a few major issues with the house, which shouldn't be a surprise to the host because we communicated them throughout our stay. First, the communication with Linda was often delayed (I had to reach out to her the day before our trip). She was often defensive when we had questions and frustrations particularly with the cleanliness of the house and the location of various things (such as a remote control for the tv). There was no house guide or book or anything to help us with any FAQs that might come up with a house that isn't your own. The kitchen was very grimy, with cabinet doors loose, and the dishwasher falling out. She offered to have the cleaning person come back during our stay - which didn't seem fair to the cleaner and would be disruptive to us. There were about 7 lights that had missing lightbulbs, which she again offered to have the cleaning person drop off. We felt that these were home owner issues and not something for a cleaner to have to manage mid-week. Many fixtures were in disrepair (light fixtures, toilet paper rolls, etc.). The outdoor tables and chairs were filthy and many were broken, making them unsafe for our kids to use. We also had to bring ALL of our linens, which she communicated one day prior to check in. I had to ask repeatedly if there were blankets for the beds or if we had to bring those, as well. With four children, this meant adding a giant suitcase and a lot of extra cleanup and work for us. Lastly, the house is on a VERY rough road with deep ruts. This has been mentioned in previous reviews, and not dealt with. The road was so deep that our car kept bottoming out, so I had to drive around them scratching the car all over the place. The photos in the listing are nice but deceptive - they must be at least 10 years old since the outdoor pergola is overgrown with vines and unusable. Again, love Block Island. Very disappointed by the house that was listed and the communication with the host.
Great house. Peaceful and very comfortable. Block is always an amazing place. The driveway has very deep ruts. The bottom of my car (Honda Civic) kept scraping. This was the drive way not a road. Ended up stuck and needed a tow out of the driveway. But hey all vacations have a story, right?!
The check in process was extremely easy! The house has 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 2 living rooms both with couches in them! The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could ever need. Remote with a beautiful back yard. Wasn't hard to find with the directions given a GPS will bring you right to the location! Perfect for bonfires, grilling , plenty of space with 2 living rooms both with couches! 2 full bathrooms came in handy when getting ready in the morning. I do wish the house had screens to open the windows as it got hot. The host was over accommodating, made check in easy and great, made sure we had what we needed as well as suggesting places for mopeds and bikes along with hiking! We saw deer time and time again which you don't catch on the island as often if it wasn't for this house being tucked away. If your looking to have a group of people for a weekend or longer trip to block island this house is great! It's perfect for staying up late as they have backyard lights and 2 different patio/deck areas. Bonfire pit, grill with propane I mean it was just an amazing birthday weekend! You won't be disappointed in this beautiful island cottage! Thank you for our stay!
We arrived at night, which made water-filled potholes in the driveway a bit scary to navigate. It was a few weeks before the main season and the house felt like it hadn't been lived in for a while. On the other hand, the setting is pastoral, verdant and peaceful. I'd recommend it for people who want a quiet getaway.
Booked this house for my sister's bachelorette weekend and it was the perfect place for all of us. Plenty of room, has a cute outdoor patio, and is secluded from other houses which we loved. Also, Linda was available to chat the entire weekend and was soo friendly! Highly recommend Linda's house for anyone interested!
We had a wonderful week at Linda's house, I wish we could have stayed longer! The house was clean, peaceful, quiet, and comfortable. Highly recommend it for those looking for a quiet and woodsy place to stay on BI.
