Cute, boutique hotel in a great location. 10 min walk from the ferry to arrive/depart on the island, and a solid restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with great views. As a hotel guest, you get free coffee each morning (that actually tastes good) which is a nice perk. As you can tell from the pictures, the rooms are very very small and no frills. Worth staying here!

Really nice hotel. Had an ocean view room that was a little smaller than expected, but luckily we spent most of the time exploring. We will gladly book the balcony room next time! Lovely staff, great restaurant on premise, and there is a 2 bars you can order from near the outdoor lounge area.

We had a great stay at the Block Island Beach house. Loved sitting on the front porch in the morning with a cup of coffee and sitting on the beach with complementary beach chairs and umbrellas. Although the room was small, it was super quaint, and the bathroom was immaculate. We also enjoyed the oceanview. We will definitely return!

The location is excellent & extremely convenient. The beach is right there, restaurant and beach bar are great. Staff was very kind. But for the price… the room was SO small (ocean view queen), it just about fit the bed. The shower had 0 water pressure, the sink isn’t in the bathroom it’s shoved into the already small bedroom. You can probably find more bang for your buck somewhere else on the island.
