2 Br Private Vacation Home Vacation Rental In Block Island, Rhode Island

This distinctive island cottage was a new listing last season, owned /managed by a HomeAway ‘premier’ host. It is located approx. 2 miles from town & Crescent beach, 1 mile Walk to gorgeous, westside beach-nestled in a beautiful, natural setting on the Island’s west side, away from the summer crowds! The cottage has 2 cozy bedrooms which sleep 4, each has one full-sized bed (there is an additional twin XL daybed on the main floor for flexibility purposes or an occasional extra guest) & rents from Saturday-Saturday— so if you are planning on bringing a car, we suggest booking a reservation on the boat for your vehicle as soon as possible.
This special property borders on 2 large areas of preserved open space (Turnip Farm & Nathan Mott Park) & miles of magical greenway trails- (accessed just outside of the yard)-offering inspiring daily doses of beauty & adventure! The Turnip Farm’s golden grassy meadows, which are steps away, are a glory to behold in the afternoon sunlight. Trails connect with Rodman’s Hollow Preserve, Black Rock, Fresh Pond, Turnip Farm & Nathan Mott Park (Enchanted Forest) to name a few. There are also several delightful 20 min. rambles down the road to the quiet, sandy/rocky beach coves of Cooneymus & Dorrie’s Cove. Enjoy magnificent sunsets & super-starry night skies!
This cottage itself exudes a bit more ‘magic’ than your typical rental…personally furnished, well-appointed & comfortable, offering a variety of communal gathering spaces as well as cozy nooks…
On the first floor guests will find a sunny, well-equipped eat-in kitchen w/ new dishwasher, fridge, vintage stove & walk-in pantry. Gas grill & outdoor dining table are situated just outside the kitchen door. On the same level— a comfy south-facing living room, small bath, & adjacent library with loveseat, desk (facing sunset) & bookshelves stocked with a variety of interesting reads!
Additionally, there is a larger living space which includes 2 sofas, daybed, long computer desk & smartTV (no satellite). There is internet-(as it is on the island).
Throughout the house, a variety of artwork, as well as board games & books are available for guests to enjoy. Laundry is in basement, accessible through bulkhead at the rear of the house, as well as a large flower/veg garden…its lushness can be seen through north-facing kitchen windows…
The second level features 2 bedrooms- 1 to the west has a full-sized bed; the other modest east-facing room also has one double bed (with the option of a roll-out mat on the floor for kids who don’t like to share beds). Also, find a spacious full bath with vintage claw foot tub, tile shower & pedestal sink. Please note that there are fans placed throughout the house to keep guests comfortable when summer heats up.
Outside, the green, expansive yard is fabulous for lounging around with beverages or morning coffee, reading, evening stargazing, (includes watching for fireflies), observing birds, playing tag or badminton, or simply listening to the crickets! It is approx. a 6 min. drive to town, or a visit to our neighbor’s horses a 3 min. walk up the road….Fresh pond is just a 10 min. Bike ride away! There are chairs & small tables and hammock for outdoor relaxing, clothesline for fresh air drying & behind the garden shed, a wonderful, (highly recommended) private outdoor shower…
Native shrubs abound- including, Shad, bayberry, viburnum & wild blueberry- with the added bonus of the honeysuckle vine and multiflora rose, whose intoxicating scents permeate the air.
Come stay! Please inquire with your questions…. Our family lives nearby, so we’d like to know just a bit about the potential guests whom we look forward to hosting!tlushness lush growth
