We enjoyed a wonderful week with family at the house. It was very clean, spacious, and we loved the big yard and outdoor shower after a day at the beach. Convenient location to town and easy to get to the beaches. We will definitely be back!
Our stay at Block Island House was wonderful- we had multi generations staying and it worked great! The house is spacious and comfortable and walking distance to town! We loved every minute!
The house was perfect for our group. Everyone had their own space and the kitchen and dining room were great spaces to gather.
We enjoyed sitting on the front porch.
Old harbor was a short walk for shopping.
A pretty Block Island House .. pretty lawns and fields around it. a wide porch with rockers..the house was equipped with all that we needed… very pleasant and peaceful.
This house was perfect for our family group. Everyone had enough of their own space to make it comfortable for all. The location is great, an easy walk to town, beaches and harbors. The house is meticulously cared for.
The six little cousins loved playing in the yard and porch throughout our stay. We kept saying how homey and comfortable the house was and such a nice quiet area. Perfect walk to town to the ice cream shoppe and candy store and a quick drive to scotch beach!
We would without a doubt stay here again.
This house was amazing. From beautiful sunrises off the master bedroom to the large amount of yard space or the magnificent porch. We will definitely be back!
The house was wonderful and spotless. The bathrooms are very modern. The setting is so beautiful and restful. A few planes from the airport, but not a big deal. Joe, the owner, was a wonderful host, at the ready if I needed anything. I so enjoyed meeting him.
This property is so well maintained and cared for. It is close to town and just EASY. I have three grown children with their significant others and there was plenty of space for all.
We all would recommend for sure!
This is our second time staying at this property and it is absolutely perfect for our large family. Plenty of beds and a bathrooms for every bedroom! The wraparound porch is the cherry on top!!!
Perfect location to town. All the modern amenities. The yard was large enough for us to play outdoor games and set up a volleyball net. We will most definitely be renting again!
We just returned from a weeks stay at this beautiful home. It was just as advertised, close to Old Towne, but in a quiet neighborhood. Kelsea and her father Joe were wonderful to work with and very responsive to any questions we had. The island was very quiet and peaceful. While many restaurants were closed for season, there were still some restaurants open to enjoy. We look forward to returning and staying here again someday. Highly recommend.
We had the most amazing stay at this beautiful property! We traveled with our older parents, our teenage children, and some friends. The house was large enough to accommodate all, and with 5 bathrooms (not including the shower), everyone had their own privacy too. It had everything we needed to cook-in for a couple nights, and the laundry room was also a huge plus! Our gang enjoyed playing yard games in the beautiful front yard, as well as sipping coffee and cocktails together on the porch. Kelsea was extremely responsive prior to our stay, and Sarah and George next door greeted us to let us know they were there if we needed anything, but then they left us alone to enjoy our privacy and vacation. This is a beautiful home and truly a special place…a slice of heaven for sure!
We LOVED this property. We have been visiting the island every summer for 15 years and this house checked all of our boxes.
WIFI was good, outdoor shower was awesome, AC was incredible on the main and the bedrooms. The picnic table was large enough to fit all 11 of us - we used the two stools that were also outside.
We had two days of down pouring and the basement with the beds stayed dry!
Typically - I do not do laundry on vacation but the laundry area was great and I did several loads.
Love the wrap around porch and the rockers. Joe and Kelsea were top notch to work with.
All and all we had a fabulous time and look forward to next year!
Such a wonderful Island and such a wonderful home! Joe and his daughter were exceptionally good hosts. The house is beautiful, clean, well maintained and so convenient to downtown Block island and the beaches and all the wonders the Island has to share. My family and friends who came to stay loved being able to gather in a spacious and nicely furnished and decorated, yet comfortable home where we could all get together in the large living room and watch sunsets together on the large front porch. The outdoor shower was one of my favorite amenities and the central air kept us cool throughout our 2 week stay. Each of the 5 bedrooms has its own bath. This was so great for having numerous couples and adults join us. The home and the owners exceeded my expectations and I hope to return many more times.
Kelsey and Joe are phenomenal hosts who clearly want to ensure their guests have a good stay. I was very grateful for the pro active communication when there was a potential snag in our travel due to a fire on the island. Kelsey was quick to reach out and be sure we were aware and able to navigate the situation without incident. Joe was very helpful on several occasions when we ran into minor setbacks.
The house is impeccable and nicely laid out. We especially enjoyed the large wrap around porch. The location is a little bit of a plus-minus.
We loved being close to town and being able to walk in. On the other hand the house is very near the airport and in the take off/landing path. So lots of small plane traffic over the house. It was tolerable but could be a bit much at times.
Overall great experience and great hosts.
This property is located in a sleepy, magical area, with raspberry bushes and wild flower fields. It’s quiet at night and you can star gaze. During the day you can watch the private jets swoop in to land at the nearby airport as you rock away on the splendid front porch. Walking to New Harbor or New Shorham is easy. We walked to the farmers market and into town for meals many times. We thought we would be unhappy not being able to see the water from the home, we fell in love with this location. Joe is a wonderful host, while we did not see him once we checked in, we knew he was available should an issue present itself. The home has a nice layout. The natural light and the carpentry finishes are exquisite. The beds are comfortable. The family room furniture was a little uncomfortable, and could be replaced. Honestly, very little time was spent sitting in the family room with all that Block Island and the location offers.
This is our second year staying at this home. We absolutely love it. Great home for a lot of people which we usually have. Can’t wait to be back again next year! Joe even gained a glass float from us this year!!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our weeklong stay with three generations of
family in this lovely, comfy home! The view out of our upstairs bedrooms over liked a grassy green field with trees and a beautiful native rock wall for the fence. The porches is where we spent much of our time rocking, sipping tea, napping and watching grandkids play in the grassy yard. There were plenty of rooms and bathrooms for all 4 couples and the grandkids as well. The kitchen and dining area worked out great and had all we needed. Great place to relax and enjoy and play yet easy to get to the grocery, restaurants or the beach.

About the host
Hosted by Kelsea Morris
My father built this home himself in 2001 from the ground up. He put attention into every detail and continues to update the home and property yearly. The house is cozy yet spacious, a perfect vacation rental. We love sharing this beautiful home and having other families enjoy it as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
My dad lived on Block Island for over 30 years and built many homes on the island. This was by far his best work in the perfect location. Surrounded by stone walls, farm homes and the greenest grass, you feel like your living in a story book while relaxing in this beautiful home.
What makes this property unique
You will not find another house as clean and pristine. Relax inside with a cup of tea or sip wine on the front porch while the kids play in the front yard. Need to get out? Talk a quick walk into town and back, several times throughout the day, every time returning back home to peace and relaxation. The house is open yet the bedrooms feel very private each with their own full bath. Grill and enjoy a meal outside or gather in the spacious dining room. This house has it all.
