About this house rental

Located in Block Island, this attractive house for $500 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Hartnett's Bluff House sits above a private rocky beach, close to the surf of the Atlantic Ocean. The house was built from 2007-2010 by the owners. It is a cedar-shingled post and beam home that boasts an open concept layout. The main floor is open space flooded with views of the ocean from every angle. It contains a well-appointed kitchen with granite and butcher-block countertops and stainless steel appliances. There is a beautiful dining area with a large granite table that seats 6, and a living area with a comfy sofa and chairs perfect for lounging with friends and family, and gazing out at the ocean sunset. The main floor is complete with a powder room and a playing space for games and toys. The upper floor reveals a gorgeous master suite with a heavenly king-size bed overlooking the water. A peaceful on-suite bathroom is complete with double sinks and a classic antique claw foot tub. There is also a cozy sitting area with comfortable chairs, ottomans, and reading lamps perfect for curling up with a book at the end of the day. A separate room with door off of the master has two twin beds that can be joined to create a king-sized bed, and makes a great kids room. The lower of the three floors contains a third bedroom with a queen-size bed and ocean views. The third bathroom is complete with a large open tiled shower, double sinks, and more windows looking out onto acres of rosa rugosa. Guests will also find a bonus entertainment room with a flat-screen TV and a sofa. There is also a laundry room with a washer and dryer for guest’s convenience. Doors lead out onto a large deck complete with lounge chairs, a BBQ, a solar heated outdoor shower, and hammock, perfect for cooling off and relaxing after a long day at the beach! Adjacent to the house is the path down to the private rocky beach, an excellent place to surf-cast and catch striped bass and bluefish, hunting for driftwood, shells and beautiful beach stones. Later in the season, this serves as a popular surf spot on the island, and provides a great spot to watch the surfers brave the waves! The property is located on the southwest corner of Block Island at the end of a rather long dirt road. The road is usually kept in good condition, which should allow easy access by any car. Since the house is located about 3 miles from town and the swimming beaches, a car is recommended. Due to the location of the property, the home allows for the privacy and tranquility that is most prized on Block Island. The house was recently updated with fast and reliable cable internet.

The location of the house on the Southwest point is stunning with fantastic views and sounds of the surf. Location is remote but directions to the house were clear. Kitchen and bathrooms were clean. Coffee maker needs a new filter and dishwasher was broken during our stay. Bed mattresses are firm. Internet worked great.

This is a beautiful home with outstanding ocean views. It is perfectly secluded on the western part of the island. When we arrived, we had to make the up the beds which wasn’t a big deal, but unusual based on our VRBO experiences around the world. The internet was virtually non existent and there was no tv service due to the DirectTV having malfunction errors. We informed the housekeeper and owner and there was nothing to be done. Also, while we there, we were uninformed about a delivery of a clothes washer which was an intrusion on our privacy during our stay at this idyllic place.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Manager was readily available and answered all questions. House was well organized and nicely decorated. Toys and books were definitely a plus for a toddler.

The off the grid style location was amazing and just what we were looking for. The views, sounds (ocean) and location were all idyllic and sublime. The house is cozy and lived in and would recommend it for just one couple or a couple with 1-2 kids who can take the cute room off of the large second floor bedroom. Block Island and this location made for a magical week of exploring.
