Enjoy salt water views from the large front porch, second story living area, deck and the yard of this home on picturesque Great Island. Just 1 mile from Salty Brine Beach, 2 miles from Sand Hill Cove Beach and 3 miles from Scarborough Beach this completely renovated home is ideal for summer fun or quiet spring/fall weekends with the family.
There's plenty of room in our 1650 sq ft home for three couples or two entire families vacationing together. After a day at the beach let the kids run around in the yard on this quiet island yet you are less than a mile from some of the town's best seafood restaurants and the historic fishing port of Galilee where the Block Island Ferry departs.
This is our vacation home which we use regularly, not an investment property. Open floor plan with cathedral ceilings and "upside down" design to take advantage of the views. Meticulously maintained.

This house on Great Island is a beautiful home! The hosts were absolutely terrific, and they provided us with so many details about the house and the area. The house is impeccable, and it's stocked with anything and everything we could ever need. It was a home away from home and we loved our stay so much!
Very comfortable stay! The neighborhood was quiet and accessible via car to beaches and dining. We picked this because we needed a quiet vacation, and this is exactly got!
If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing, and comfortable rental, this is the place for you. The house is beautiful with the two outdoor decks, fantastic kitchen/living area (with everything you could need/want), and comfortable bedrooms. Everything was thoughtfully designed and the views are fantastic. Great location! We will be back!
The house and host are marvelous and we really enjoyed our stay. We took our 84 year old mom for a birthday trip to revisit the places of her youth and the house was a perfect launch point. David was a terrific host and communication was easy
Very nice neighborhood area and Very close to beaches and fishing wharf area. Fully stocked kitchen was a plus, clean and comfortable-Lots of hangout spaces. The kitchen and main hangout room is upstairs where the second bathroom is.
We had a lovely time at this beautiful clean home. The pictures don't do this home justice. It's beautiful, clean and in the perfect location for a relaxing getaway. The host was easy to communicate with and was very accomodating. I've stayed in this area many times and this home has climbed to the top of my list. Can't wait to come back again!
We enjoyed our stay through the holiday. The home was clean and beautiful! David was very easy to communicate with and a great host. We will definitely keep this in mind for another get together! Marigrace
Our daughter was married in Galilee RI. We loved the proximity of this home the Galilee Beach Club venue. The house was immaculate and perfect for our needs. The large open living and kitchen was so bright and great views of Great Salt Pond. We loved the artwork all over the home. David is a great host and answered all our questions promptly. I would highly recommend this home . The decks and porches are perfect.
Fabulous property, great location/neighborhood, beautiful porch and observation deck. Well appointed house. Had ten family members and all were quite comfortable. I highly recommend, and thank you, Dave!
Perfect beach setting in a quiet neighborhood short distance to restaurants, fish market and ferry to Block. Plenty of room. Clean. Nicely decorated. 30 minutes to Newport.
Wonderful quiet seaside neighborhood. A three minute drive to great beaches and active working fishing port. Our grandson loved viewing the action there. We were a group of 6 adults and two children under the age of 3. Lovely water views. Beds were comfortable. Needs a little TLC with pillows and kitchen items but overall a great house and location. Would definitely go back!

Beautiful updated home. Cool layout with plenty of room. Enjoyed the water views from the upper balcony but loved the extra wide porch with sliding screens. It let the breezes in but kept the unwanted flying guests out. Awesome location, close to three beaches; restaurants and the ferry to Block Island. Top of our list in terms of vacations spots after 33 years of traveling.
What a spectacular weekend!!!….6 if us “ladies of a certain age” celebrating a birthday…David (property owner) couldn’t have been nicer, informative, helpful……easy to contact and just nice!!!….something so rare in today’s environment….beautiful home, accommodations….perfect!!….clean, safe, comfy…..would HIGHLY recommend this lovely home and gracious host♥️!!

About the host
Hosted by David Menninger
We are a family of seven with ages ranging from high school to adult. Throughout our lives we've always spent time near the water and need to get our water fix periodically.
Why they chose this property
Our home is located in a quiet residential area of Narragansett known as Great Island. There are no commercial properties of any kind on the island and nearly all the homes are within 100 yards of the water. As soon as you drive onto the island, with its winding roads and small rolling hills, you know you are on vacation.
What makes this property unique
We spent a long time looking for an 'upside down' house. You will enjoy views of the water from the open floor plan living room, dining area and kitchen on the second floor just steps from the second story deck and picnic table.
