Beautiful Classic House

This house is larger that appearances would have you believe and wonderfully laid out. It is an old dwelling and has some perks that should be expected. We rented the house while we were on Block Island for a work project. The opening foyer is quaint and matches the living room with its cleanliness and historic furnishings. The kitchen is modern, looks recently renovated and is a culinary paradise. The best room however is the addition on the left side of the house. Large and comfortable with plenty of windows and access to the party size porch. The caretaker who lives in the basement apartment is charming and eager to supply information about the local eateries and events.

Great place for a family getaway

I really enjoyed our stay. The caretaker met us at the house and showed us the layout. The house was clean and the kitchen had all the utensils, etc. needed. One member of our party wanted to be more in town but the ferry was an easy walk without alot of luggage. I will stay her again!!!! I recommend the property.

Beautiful home - perfect for a group

We had a group of family and friends ages 21 months to 78 years old stay at this beautiful home. There was plenty of indoor and outdoor space for all to enjoy. The house was clean and well stocked (including linens-which was wonderful) and the owner and caretaker are wonderful! We definitely recommend this home!

Great location and great entertaining house

We had a party of 10 people stay in this house which included two teenage girls and two pre-teen boys. The house had plenty of space and loved having the linens already at the house. The kitchen was so spacious and had everything you could imagine in the kitchen - new toaster, two types of coffee pots, double oven, two fridges, huge kitchen table. We loved the sun room. We sat and played games and had plenty of space. The owners were great and very quick to answer any questions we had! Thank you for an awesome week!

CY22 Block Trip

We spent the last week in Block with 2 other couples. We have been there many times in years prior but never to this house. This place was in a great location to downtown & the beaches. The family who owns it was very nice. The property was very spacious from the living rooms to the yard. Would recommend to others.

Block Island

Overall a great property that we had a lot of fun at. Fully stocked with essentials like towels, soap, cleaning supplies etc that made the stay seamless. Easy access to town and the rest of the island. Note that the house is a little close to the airport, so there are some flights during the day.

Great location to town

We were looking for a house for a group of our friends and family and this was perfect! Large home with lots of space to spread out. A fully stocked kitchen, all linens and towels included. Upon entry I noticed how clean it smelled and looked…super important thank you! Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Washer and dryer which we used each day. Huge deck to hang out on and a great room with doors so the kids could stay up late at night 😊😊 and not wake us up. Make note that it’s located at the landing side of the airport. Didn’t bother us much as they only fly during the day, but it starts at 7ish AM and landing is quieter than take off. Other was the master bedroom was missing a shade that had broke. We would definitely go back to this awesome home!!!!!

Wonderful BI Home!

Meredith's place was in a fantastic location on Block Island, close to the main town area and also not far from New Harbor and beaches. Our girls trip ended up having a rainy weekend, but were still able to have a fantastic trip eating out and hanging in the large common spaces in Meredith's home. It was great that propane, towels, and lots of other amenities were provided. Meredith was also flexible and communicative about checkin and checkout times and processes. There is also plenty of space to park, should you bring a car over. Thank you, Meredith and Shannon, and we hope to stay again!

Excellent house!

We had a wonderful time at the McAloon house! The property is great for lawn games and the house is a great size for 10 people. We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather for the entire stay and spent most of our time either at the beach or in the back lawn/deck area. I have no complaints about the house or the rental process, except by my own fault I did not read all the check-in instructions and did not have my security deposit ready on arrival. Best house we have stayed at on Block!

Beautiful Home and Easy Process

A beautiful home with plenty of space. We stayed at this property in June 2020, the same weekend Block Island eased some of its COVID-related restrictions. The home and all extras, like towels, appliances, seat cushions, etc. we’re thoroughly sanitized by what we assume was a professional cleaning company. The check-in process was easy and Shannon and Meredith were great throughout the process. Two thumbs up!!

The property is in a very good spot. On a secluded road, but just a short walk to town. They went the extra mile in terms of cleanliness before we arrived. Everything was sanitized and individually bagged. Great hosts.

Great family house

My husband and I stayed here in early fall for a long weekend with our daughter and son in law and their two young children, 1 and 4. The house has a lot of common areas for family to gather together or to get away from each other. It is very well equipped with kitchen gear, and baby gear, and beach gear. We loved watching the planes fly over. The pond with its ducks and lily pads was a big hit with kids. There is no air conditioning, but that was not needed with the beautiful cool weather we had. Our only disappointment was with the internet, which was very slow and not adequate for working from afar as my children had to do the first day. Once, we got to know our way around, we found the house was an easy walk or bike ride to town. Would great place for a girls week

Block Island Wedding Week

If you are looking for a rental on Block Island that is absolutely perfect this is the one. The home was not only extremely clean, but equipped with anything you’d need. I especially liked that I didn’t have to bring sheets and towels. The home accommodated our entire family on the island for a family wedding. Everyone had plenty of room to spread out. The owners were extremely responsive if we had any questions. It was walking distance to town. I would recommend this rental for a multiple family vacation.
