Great home base and place to stay

We enjoyed the property very much and it's proximity to New Shoreham and New Harbor worked out perfectly for our sailing trip. Being tucked away off the main road made it quiet when we needed it too. Thanks for a great stay.

Wonderful Experience!

Our Memorial Day trip to BI was wonderful! The home was wonderful and had everything we could ask for. The location was good, and only a quick walk into downtown. The view from the upper deck was beautiful. A home we hope to come to again next year!

Wonderful!

Such a peaceful home! Came here for my bachelorette, and there was ample space for my friends and a great common living room for games. The location was close enough to the harbor but also remote enough to be peaceful and quiet. Would recommend!

Great house!

We loved our stay in this house on Block Island. It was perfect for our group of 6 (I do think more than that might be cramped). It's a great house, tons of light and great hang-out space upstairs with cozy bedrooms downstairs. We were asked to bring our own towels and sheets a few days before our stay, which came as a surprise so something to be aware of, but we made it work and enjoyed our stay!

Breezy getaway

Lovely pet friendly home. There were 5 of us plus our dog. House is open and cheery with splendid outdoor deck space for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen pretty well appointed. 2 bathrooms but we use the outdoor shower for bathing which was great. Location close to town to walk, but can be sketchy at night as there is no shoulder . Quiet and peaceful setting . Best of all was the ability to bring our dog!!

Lovely Block Island Stay

My family enjoyed our time at this home. It had everything we needed, and the host was responsive to any of our questions during the booking process. We brought our own car, which was a benefit as it allowed us to explore Block Island—the lighthouses, beaches, trails, restaurants, and shops—leisurely during our stay. If bringing a car, book the traditional ferry (that carries cars) early, so you're guaranteed a space when you want to travel. (We had to change our arrival date because there were no openings on the ferry on the date we wanted to arrive.) Also, we'd suggest you bring bottled water as our understanding was this home had a well without a filter.

About the host

Hosted by Kristine Donabedian

Host profile image
Jack and Kristine are native Rhode Islanders who have been visiting Block Island for the past 20 years. We have three sons in whom we have instilled our love for the island. For us, Block Island is a quick ferry ride to an escape from our hectic everyday lives. We treasure our time on the island and look forward to each return trip.
As a testament to our love of the island, we purchased Summer Breeze in 2016. We chose Summer Breeze for its versatile location offering peaceful scenery with easy access to activity in town. We love the layout of the house and the way the living areas spill out onto the deck. We are excited to share our home and island experience with you.
One trip to the island will not do this magical place justice--even after twenty years, we are still discovering new corners of the island to enjoy and experience! So, rent with us, and please return!

What makes this property unique

This property offers the dual benefit of proximity to town and beaches as well as seclusion and privacy. Enjoy the large double decks with beautiful Block Island views and the open, airy interior which catches the island breeze in a unique and tranquil way. Summer Breeze is a family and pet friendly location so no need to leave anyone, including your canine, behind.
