New, nicely decorated, clean, quiet, comfortable beds, very convenient location in the downtown area. Can walk to all the restaurants, very close to the beach.
Cute, fully equipped cottage, great for a family vacation. Right in the center of town, just steps from shops, restaurants and the beach. Excellent communication from the host.
Sherman Cottage is a perfect spot for a quick trip to Block. Incredible location right in town and beach access right out back. The AC is rare for Block Island and much appreciated. The space is small but just what you need for a nice stay.
