Quiet and Peaceful Retreat
We had a very relaxing stay. The house is set back from the road in a very idyllic setting. Twice we saw deer grazing in the yard. We would rent again.

Our family has had a long term connection with Block Island. We vacationed on the island as children ourselves and have continued the tradition with our own children. Our 5 children love the island, and have grown up enjoying summer vacations on island with extended family and good friends.
