About this property

Newly Renovated, Private Oasis!- AC for summer months!

This one bedroom cottage is the perfect retreat for a couple looking for a get-away. Overlooking one acre of rolling hills with signature Block Island stone walls, this delightful cottage offers privacy and the Island's best stargazing.
Located just over a mile to downtown and the beach, it is easy to enjoy all Block Island has to offer. Walking distance to Greenway Hiking Trails as well as New Harbor, the cottage provides a convenient home base for exploring what The Nature Conservancy refers to as "A last great place."
The cottage offers one bedroom with a queen sized bed (with a very comfortable mattress) and a love seat in the living area. **All sheets and towels (plus beach towels) are included. A high-top table is also in the open living area.
There is a full bathroom with a large tiled shower, as well as an attached private hot/cold outdoor shower.
There is also a deck with a bistro set as well as a gas grill for outdoor cooking.
The kitchen includes a refrigerator, oven/stove top, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker and teapot. We also have AC for the summer season!
All household products, including: soap; plastic wrap; aluminum foil; paper towels; etc. are provided.
So, just pack your bathing suit and flip flops and enjoy! If it is your first time on Block Island or your thirtieth, we look forward to making your experience a truly memorable one.
PLEASE NOTE: There is an additional 8% tax on rentals in Rhode Island as well as a 1% Block Island tax.

We had a wonderful stay at Dunne Cottage. It was the perfect spot for a couple’s getaway and very centrally located to all of Block Island’s amenities. The on-site parking was a breeze and when we didn’t want to drive, taxis were easy to acquire. The outdoor shower was lovely and their well-stocked kitchen and on-site propane grill were great for at-home cooking! The owners were so lovely, hospitable and easy to communicate with. On our last day, we met one of the owners, Ed, in person, who couldn’t have been kinder. He even gave us a ride into town after our check-out on Sunday! Thank you for the wonderful stay at Dunne Cottage - we hope to be back!

Charming cottage

We had a wonderful stay at this cute cottage on Block Island- our favorite place! The location was great- convenient, quiet and close to everything we love. The cottage itself was very clean, cozy and comfortable, making it easy to relax and feel at home. The owners were very accommodating and responsive, which made the whole experience even better! The only downside was the bathroom had a bit of a damp feel, but it didn’t take away from our enjoyment. We’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to others looking for a charming relaxing get away!

The sweetest spot on the island!

Location was great, in the middle of everything not a far walk, we even did it with our one year-old. The cottage has everything you would need for a great stay in Block Island. Highly recommend this spot to anyone. Super cozy, comfortable amenities, and our host, Julia Was incredibly nice and accommodating when it came to dropping off our bags early and picking them up before we headed out on the ferry. Some small hiking trails just around the corner and a lovely yard to take in the sights and breathe in some fresh salty air. I would absolutely stay here again if it was available!

Perfect long weekend cottage for two!

Enjoyed staying in quiet area far enough from town with grilled dinners, nightly fires at the picnic table up on the hill out back overlooking scenic rolling hills and stone walls. Kitchen was very well appointed for simple meals, everything was super clean and comfortable, and of course the outdoor shower was the perfect way to end our beach days. Hosts Marti and Ed were super friendly and knowledgeable about the island. Short walk to Ellen’s at the airport for breakfast. Hope to get back next year!

Hidden Gem of a cottage

This is a sweet cottage nestled on a hill. Centrally located and easy to get to everything. We enjoyed quiet time at the top of the hill enjoying the view. The unit has an air conditioner which is unusual for places on Bi. The hosts are very accommodating and friendly. I highly recommend this cottage and would stay there again

Retreat on Block Island

My 5-day retreat in this little cottage was wonderful. I have never stayed in a VRBO rental that was so clean (it seemed that no one had ever stayed there before it was so clean!) and so well stocked. They had everything! The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom towels were cozy. I didn't use the TV but the instructions for how to use it seemed easy. Marti was very helpful and welcoming! I highly recommend.

Awesome visit.

The cottage was beautiful. It was spotlessly clean, cozy and well equipped. It was close to everything without being too close to the in town action. The weather turned bad and the ferries were not running. Marti went out of her way to accommodate us and eased our anxieties about getting home. I can’t say enough about the kindness of our hosts and in spite of some big bumps, what a wonderful trip we had. We can’t wait to return.

Very private getaway for two!

My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay at the cottage! We were celebrating our 40th anniversary, so the owners thoughtfully provided a bottle of bubbly along with 2 flutes and a card. We also got to visit with the very friendly owners for a bit, which is always nice! Regarding the cottage itself, it was clean & well stocked with everything we needed! The only downsides were: 1. There were quite a few steps, some uneven, leading up to the cottage, which for the young and those in good shape shouldn't be an issue, but it may be for some. 2. The property is situated very close to a main road, which kept us from being able to enjoy a walk to town even though it was close enough. But these were minor negatives compared to the many positive qualities of the property.

About the host

Hosted by Julia Dunne

Host profile image
Our dream to own a Block Island home came true in 2011. We were lucky enough to purchase a property with both a main house and cottage up the hill. Since purchasing the property we have completely renovated both and are very proud of the end result. We enjoy time on Block Island year round, learning that each season has a unique appeal. We hope you will love Block Island as much as we do.
