Tangney Cottage in Old Harbor
Summary:
Set on High Street and just a short walk to Old Harbor, shops, and restaurants, this centrally located home offers the convenience of being close to town while still providing a comfortable place to unwind. With a layout that works well for families and groups, the home features spacious main-level living and dining rooms that make it easy to gather for meals, game nights, or relaxed evenings after a day at the beach.
Spend your mornings with a cup of coffee on the covered front porch overlooking distant views of the harbor.The kitchen has been recently renovated and is well-equipped for cooking at home, whether you’re preparing quick breakfasts before heading out or planning a group dinner in. The bathrooms have also been updated, adding a fresh and modern feel while still maintaining the home’s classic Block Island character.
All four bedrooms are located on the second floor, offering separation between the living areas and sleeping space. Two bedrooms include queen beds, one bedroom has two twin beds, and the fourth offers a twin bed with a trundle, ideal for young kids only. This setup provides flexibility for a variety of group configurations, from families traveling together to friends sharing a week on the island.
Outside, the backyard is small but thoughtfully arranged with the essentials for summer living, including a grill for casual outdoor meals and an outdoor shower for easy post-beach rinses. Linens are provided, along with beach basics, so you can pack light and have everything you need ready upon arrival.
