Fantastic stay, location and accommodations

Just returned from an 8 day stay at the red gate farm. The house was clean, spacious and well appointed with a perfect location. As the pictures portray, the furniture is older (as is the case with many island homes). We did have issues with creaky floors, doors and doorknobs when trying not to wake our 4 month old and some members of our party had back issues from the beds. None of that would deter me from staying there again, however. The front porch is absolutely amazing and was difficult to leave. I do think the outdoor shower needs to be updated. The water pressure is very poor making it difficult to rinse and there is no privacy. An outdoor shower is a priority for our party so likely will not return for that reason.

The house and the location were both excellent. The house was just as described - lots of room, bedrooms all very nice, kitchen very functional. Best was the front porch - we sat out there for hours. While in a relatively busy area, the house is set way back from the street so there's no traffic noise. The view of the harbor from the front porch was amazing as were the sunsets. Great spot in every respect.

Beautiful View
Our family had an amazing stay at Red Gate Farm. The house was very spacious and welcoming. There was plenty of room for our large group. The highlight of the home is definitely the very large front porch with a beautiful unobstructed view of the harbor. We were also in walking distance to great restaurants (The Oar, Dead Eye Dicks), Paynes Dock (bar-live music), and water sport rentals (kayaking, paddle boarding). We look forward to our next visit to Block Island, one of our favorite places. Thanks to Jiff for answering all of our questions!

Wonderful stay in New Harbor
The location of this property is just what we were looking for. It’s peaceful, quiet and has a distant but panoramic view of New Harbor. We were a group of 7 adults. The house is huge. Plenty of space to amble about without feeling the least bit cramped. We cooked at the house every night and it was well stocked. There are 2 refrigerators, which we needed since we were a large group. The dining room table is large and fit all of us for dinner and board games. The home and neighborhood is pet friendly which we appreciated since we had a pup with us. Jennifer, our host, was always available, friendly and helpful. The front porch was delightful and we enjoyed it from morning till night. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Red Gate Farm is spacious, clean, and the location can’t be beat. There was also ample breeze flowing through the house when the windows were open. Some of the furniture smelled musty and was quite beat up. Also, some of the bathrooms didn’t have hand soap. I also thought that sheets and towels ought to be included for a rental in this price range. Linens are available for rent on the island. This seemed odd to me but apparently is common for BI rentals. The wifi is poor so we relied on our phones for internet. However, there is adequate wifi available at the library. Overall, we had a great vacation at Red Gate Farm.

We had a great week with Friends and Family! The Farmhouse is huge and accommodated all of our guests perfectly! We had about 25 different guests coming and going throughout the week and everyone loved it and found their stay comfortable! The laundry was a nice perk for quick changes of sheets in between our visitors. We found ourselves sitting on the front porch often watching the water, boats and sunsets. It's a great location and walkable to a few bars and restaurants. And about 1.5mi walk to the Old Harbor area. We'd love to stay again. Maybe next summer!

July 4th Fun Times with good friends!
Red Gate Farm was a great choice for our large group vacation. We had 13 people including our golden retriever Bear and his friend Blue. The location is great. Across from the Oar, park, Champlains and overlooking the Great Salt Pond. The deck had lots of seating on the wrap around porch to enjoy sunsets, cocktails and meals together. A short bike ride to the beach and walkable to town also. We had a bunch of teenagers who enjoyed themselves and went on lots of adventures together. We'd definitely stay there again!
