Fantastic stay at an amazing location
We were 3 families staying at the property. Excellent home, close to downtown and good outdoor space. Close to other homes on the property but has everything one would need. Water for showers is hot, AC was cold and kitchen was well appointed. Thanks to Doug for a fantastic stay.

Perfect!
We enjoyed ourselves so much! From the kindness of the owner to let us check in early (we had a 1 month old and a 2.5 year old!!) and everything you could possibly need to prepare food, to a beautiful porch for morning coffee and the closeness town and the beach, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute! We had to leave early due to my dad passing and the folks at the ferry went above and beyond to get us on the earliest ferry out. We are hoping to stay again next year. It’s paradise!

This house is perfectly located and was enough space for 3 couples. My cousins, our husbands and I stayed here and had an amazing weekend. The owner of the property was more than accommodating and was easy to contact. We would highly recommend this home for your stay on Block Island.

Awesome place! Great Location
We are a family of 5 but kids brought friends which made 7 of us! We absolutely loved this location as it's literally a 5 minute walk up high street near the ferry and ballards. We took our car because we brought our own food etc. But we didn't really use it only to drive around the island. We stayed at Ballards at the beach for 2 days so it was perfect for all of us to walk. Next door was an amazing farm with Camels, lemurs, kangaroos, and much more! We found it because someone told us to stop over and they had music. The house was clean very well stocked with towels, beach chairs, cooking utensils, pans, sheets, pillows, and blankets. The owner Douglas was very attentive and very nice. Next time we go back to the island we will most certainly be staying here! Thank you Douglas for an incredible vacation! We truly loved every moment of being there together as a family.
