Hartnett's Bluff House sits above a private rocky beach, close to the surf of the Atlantic Ocean. The house was built from 2007-2010 by the owners. It is a cedar-shingled post and beam home that boasts an open concept layout. The main floor is open space flooded with views of the ocean from every angle. It contains a well-appointed kitchen with granite and butcher-block countertops and stainless steel appliances. There is a beautiful dining area with a large granite table that seats 6, and a living area with a comfy sofa and chairs perfect for lounging with friends and family, and gazing out at the ocean sunset. The main floor is complete with a powder room and a playing space for games and toys.

The upper floor reveals a gorgeous master suite with a heavenly king-size bed overlooking the water. A peaceful on-suite bathroom is complete with double sinks and a classic antique claw foot tub. There is also a cozy sitting area with comfortable chairs, ottomans, and reading lamps perfect for curling up with a book at the end of the day. A separate room with door off of the master has two twin beds that can be joined to create a king-sized bed, and makes a great kids room.

The lower of the three floors contains a third bedroom with a queen-size bed and ocean views. The third bathroom is complete with a large open tiled shower, double sinks, and more windows looking out onto acres of rosa rugosa. Guests will also find a bonus entertainment room with a flat-screen TV and a sofa. There is also a laundry room with a washer and dryer for guest’s convenience. Doors lead out onto a large deck complete with lounge chairs, a BBQ, a solar heated outdoor shower, and hammock, perfect for cooling off and relaxing after a long day at the beach!

Adjacent to the house is the path down to the private rocky beach, an excellent place to surf-cast and catch striped bass and bluefish, hunting for driftwood, shells and beautiful beach stones. Later in the season, this serves as a popular surf spot on the island, and provides a great spot to watch the surfers brave the waves!

The property is located on the southwest corner of Block Island at the end of a rather long dirt road. The road is usually kept in good condition, which should allow easy access by any car. Since the house is located about 3 miles from town and the swimming beaches, a car is recommended. Due to the location of the property, the home allows for the privacy and tranquility that is most prized on Block Island. The house was recently updated with fast and reliable cable internet.

    More than an ocean view...right on the shore! Beautiful post and beam with a wide open floor plan. We had an issue with upstairs tub and clothes dryer. We reported these to the host who was very appreciative. Peace and quiet....just what we were looking for.

    Location is stunning. The property needs quite a bit in the way of maintenance- broken hammock, many windows not working, broken dryer, ancient sheets with no elastic left, rusty tub, filthy grill and dirty grill tools next to it, hair in the shower drain, mildew in the only shower. We have rented on BI for 30 years and although the view was amazing we wouldn’t recommend this property - they don’t seem to be reinvesting any of the expensive rental price they collect.

    This is our absolute favorite spot to stay on the island! It doesn't get more peaceful or serene. It has everything you could want. Just don't ask me if the TV works bc we have never turned it on even once in all the times we have stayed here. The owner is responsive and easy to communicate with. The property is perfect for our annual anniversary getaway or just a trip to the island to introduce new people to all of it's wonderful. I have been coming to the Block for over 30 years and no where I have ever stayed even comes close to this house. It truly is our home away from home. Just like all of BI... Love it. Respect it. Enjoy it.

    The house is absolutely beautiful inside and out...with the most perfect sunsets imaginable! We loved being in the quiet corner of the island, sitting on the back patio and hammock and using the trail down to the beach. As usual, we rode bikes all over the island, but this spot is so wonderful that we didn't really have to! Thanks for a great stay.

    Overall the house is gorgeous and the location is beyond stunning. We had the most amazing sunsets and it was a pleasure to be off the beaten path. The house has visible wear and tear and could have been cleaner. It's also worth noting that there is no door to the master suite, it's just at the top of the stairs so privacy could be an issue. Otherwise, we had a great time and I would rent this house again.

    The house is pure bliss - 2 nights was not enough. Will definitely be coming back again!! Beds were very comfortable, kitchen had everything you could need, and I really appreciated the owners flexibility with check out.
