Idyllic Block Island Home - sleeps 8

About this house rental

Located in Block Island, this lovely house for $579 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Turtle Junction, owned by my family for the last 20 years, is an idyllic Block Island home that holds great memories with room for many more! This house is in a perfect location, walkable to town and the ferry (less than a mile), yet in a secluded and private neighborhood off of High Street, just North of the school. The house sits on a nature-filled lot with a fantastic deck overlooking a beautiful and accessible pond. The exterior of the house was recently redone with new siding, roof, windows, skylights and doors, and deck while the inside of our home boasts the rustic charm you’d expect from a Block Island home. The house is 4 levels with the basement level containing a bedroom with a full size bed, a full bath, and laundry area. The main level hosts the kitchen which offers a small table, gas range, dishwasher, and a refrigerator with an ice maker. There is a coffee machine, as well as a Keurig. The main dining area features a large farmhouse table that seats 8 (with 2 extra chairs available) and opens to the family room that has a flat screen TV with a DVD player and ample seating for 8 to 10 people. The third level includes another full bath and two bedrooms; one with a queen size bed and the other with a set of bunk beds. The largest bedroom is on the 4th floor and contains a queen size bed, plus a gorgeous view of the pond off the back of the house. There’s a large deck off of the main level that contains a picnic table that seats 12+, along with a few Adirondack and lounge chairs, plus a gas grill. Also outside is a recently updated outdoor shower as well as a hose to get the sand off after a great day at the beach. There are beach chairs, toys, coolers, and lawn games available for use. There are also books to borrow, board games, cards and puzzles if you get tired of spending your days in the sun. We have several kayaks for use in the backyard pond and bring your fishing pole! You’re sure to catch some sunnies, bass, perch and of course, turtles. The benefits to our home's location are endless! The ferry, several restaurants, bike rentals, hotels, bars, shopping, and even a farm with a petting zoo, are less than a mile away. The Block Island school, with a kids playground and an outdoor basketball court, is .25 mile walk as well. The historic Spring House Hotel and The Atlantic Inn are also walking distance and offer manicured lawns with adirondack chairs for a place to chill out, sip a cocktail and watch the boats go by. The best beaches are just past town, so about 1.5 miles to the closest sand. Best of all there is a sidewalk for the entire walk to town offering safe passage for all. We know you will enjoy our property and all the island has to offer as much as we do!

House was great, just what we needed, spacious living area, everything was clean and neat. 15 minute walk to town. Only downside was taxi did not know where house was (down a dirt road), so that was a minor problem. Not the owner's fault, just something to be aware of.

We have been vacationing on Block Island for many years in a family cottage. This year, we had a family wedding and needed a different place to stay. We were thrilled to find Turtle Junction. The house is in a prime location - feels like you are in the middle of nowhere, but you are pretty close to town. There are a lot of stairs in the house - which was fine for us, but should be considered for those who might have some trouble climbing them. Everything was spotless and the house was very comfortable with lots of character. We were happy to stay and would stay again.

Our family of five adults and had a lovely stay in this idyllic home! We vacation on BI most summers but have usually stayed in a downtown apartment rather than a house. This was the best of both worlds as we enjoyed the comfort of a house which was also an easy walk to town. Photos are accurate but somehow better in person. Charming furnishings and the layout worked perfectly for us. My husband and I took the cool basement bedroom & bath; our kids took the upstairs rooms. Awesome deck with great view out back, and when we hung out at night in the family room everyone had a comfy place to sit on that big sectional!

The house is cozy yet spacious. Immaculately clean. Anything guests would need is at your fingertips. The back deck is spacious with a gorgeous view of the conservancy. We will be back!

This property was wonderful! It had a nice layout, roomy common areas on the main floor with a beautiful deck overlooking a large pond. The bedrooms were nice, comfortable beds. Especially loved the loft bedroom with large windows and skylight. Well-equipoed kitchen. Lots of great "extras".... beach chairs, bikes, kayaks. Located close enough to town that you can walk or bike. Owner was very quick to respond to questions. Really enjoyed our stay at Turtle Junction.
