About this property

Newly Renovated Home & Finished Barn on 2.6 acres with swimming hole on property

***We will open our Summer 2024 calendar in November***

This newly renovated (2021/2022) iconic Block Island property is just across the street from the Island’s first conservancy purchase, Rodman’s Hollow, and is situated on 2.6 acres. The property has a main house and a finished barn with upstairs living space. Appointed with today’s amenities, including AC/heat, an expansive yard, vegetable, herb, and flower gardens, and a spring fed swimming & fishing pond.

You will feel right at home the moment you enter the foyer, which leads to an eat-in kitchen and dining/living rooms. The large living room with fireplace offers great views of the conservation lands, ocean and wind turbines. From the kitchen, French doors open to a patio area. The dining room opens to a comfortable family room, perfect for family movie nights. There is also a powder room off the foyer.

The first floor master bedroom has a king size bed and updated master bathroom. On the second floor there are four additional bedrooms (one queen, one double, one twin, one with two doubles), a full bathroom, and a half bathroom.

A separate barn comes complete with a large living/dining room and galley kitchen. In 2022, we updated the ground floor to include a kitchen area, living space, and ping pong table. The barn has a small full bathroom with shower, a bedroom with a queen bed, and a loft area with three single beds. The barn is close enough for kids and parents to feel comfortable, but also provides everyone their own space.

Both the house and the barn have washer/dryers and outdoor showers.

Amenities include satellite television, wifi, air conditioning, and an outdoor gas grill. It's a perfect rental for a large families, or for multiple families who want to vacation together. (Well behaved dogs will be considered for an additional pet fee.)

Help yourself to flowers, vegetables, and herbs growing in the garden, and enjoy our kayaks on the pond!

The entrance to Rodman's Hollow, with walking and hiking paths down to the beach, is directly across the street from our home, as is access to Greenway walking trails.

Please note, the barn space is not available after October 20th. The max occupancy for the winter months is 9. The barn will reopen in early to mid April.

Block Island Family Getaway
The property was beautiful; country setting; quiet; the pond a joy to swim in and kayak. The main house and barn decorated to perfection; comfortable; well equipped; all amenities present. It did seem a bit strange to have to makeup all of the beds and to unmake them before we left. Other than that “wow, but okay!”, everything was perfect.

Black Rock Farm our Home Away from Home
Black Rock Farm - an unmatched beacon of summer retreats. My wanderings have led me to many rentals, yet none have etched a place in my heart quite like this farm. Our hosts, Carolyn and Annsley, were guides in our island adventure, sharing seamless communication and valuable insights, from food to day trips. They even arranged a fishing voyage with the esteemed Captain Bart - a true Block Island legend. My brother's family found their own haven in the back barn - a quiet, comfortable corner of the sprawling farm. The week's humid Summer heat was eased by the indoor climate control, offering cool refuge and sound sleep each night. Days were spent on beach escapades and trail challenges across the street, victories celebrated with refreshing outdoor showers. The property's hidden treasure, a bass-rich pond, hosted our twilight fishing battles, echoing childhood memories of casting lines with our father. The heart of the farm was a well-equipped kitchen that called us home each night. The farm's charm often won over the island's call, tempting us to soak up our personal paradise instead of venturing out. Strategically placed hammocks provided restful interludes, rejuvenating us for the next day's adventures. Black Rock Farm, with its blend of comfort and adventure, leaves us yearning for our return. Truly, it's become our home away from home and we count down the days until our next return! Thank you!

Good Vibes and Fun Times
Our family has been traveling to Block Island for over 25 years. Our family dynamics have changed through the years and grown larger. This home and barn were perfect accommodations for us. Hoping to rent the property again.

Fabulous property for family reunion
Beautiful property, very well maintained with lots of wonderful spaces and activities to enjoy on site. Many delightful evenings on the deck around the fire pit. Definitely an advantage to have a car as it's about 2 miles to the Oar/Paynes (down Center Road) and a bit farther to town and/or the beach. Communication with the owners in planning and with any questions on site was also excellent.

A classic
Our family of twelve had a wonderful week in this light-filled, spacious and comfortable Block Island house. We’ve rented many vacation homes over the past twenty years. We all agree that this house [and renovated barn] is as good as it gets. The house and barn are very tastefully decorated—Someone has a great eye. The superb kitchen for a family of cooks was thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. The many windows have screens. We opened them on arrival and didn’t close them until five minutes before checking out: We loved the cooling breezes on Block Island throughout our stay. All of us easily gathered on the back deck during the evenings to watch the sun set and the stars come out. The Vestaboard in the dining room was delightful. An outdoor shower next to the barn has more than enough water pressure and hot water. We loved the location of this gorgeous property [and its many shade-providing trees] on the relatively “quieter” south end of the island—all of Block is quiet—across the road from Rodman’s Hollow nature preserve. It’s a pleasant 20-minute bike ride into town. The six bikes that come with the house were a bonus. Carolyn and Annsley were easy to communicate with before and during our stay. This place is a classic! Our highest recommendations.

About the host

Host profile image
We are two cousins who own this home together with our husbands. We love getting to spend time on Block Island together with our families and friends - a great place to reunite. We've included a photo of a few of our younger family members at Painted Rock.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property at first sight. Throughout the day you can see the sun rise, set, catch a glimpse of the ocean beyond the nature preserve across the street, swim or kayak in the pond, check out what's growing or flowering in the garden, and relax in the charming (and fully renovated) house and barn. It's in the middle of the Greenway trails and across the street from Rodmans Hollow for those who like to hike, while still being just a short drive to Old and New Harbors.

What makes this property unique

We provide everything - linens, towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, outdoor and indoor games, kayaks, fully stocked kitchens and bathrooms!
