House was well equipped. It was lovely having ac but this was difficult to regulate. The house is situated next to Rustic Rides and seeing turkeys and horses was fun for the kids. However, the yard was littered with random trash (socks?) and construction debris, making the backyard dangerous.
When the grill did not work, the owner was responsive in getting a new one delivered quickly.
I never received my security check back and the owner did not respond to my email inquiring about it. Therefore, I felt I had to issue a stop payment on it, costing me $30.

For anyone considering visiting the island in September. It is a must! Robert and Zhara's home was perfectly located. Spacious for our family and easy to access from the main roads. This home is ideal for any family gathering.

What a great home for our family and friends to stay in. We loved how bright and open the main living areas and bedrooms were. And the additional downstairs bedrooms/apartment provided an additional space and entertainment area for those that wanted to stay up later. The children loved seeing all the farm animals next door including the roosters, chickens and turkeys and came to visit daily. The peacock provided endless entertainment with its perfect timing of its bird call that sounded like “uh uh” every time we threw a bean bag at our corn hole. The house had everything we could possibly need and was very clean. My only suggestion is if you rent right after Labor Day, you will need extra blankets for the beds especially the downstairs bedrooms. We didn’t feel comfortable turning on the heat so early in the season for just a few hours at night. Also, less than a mile from the house is an amazing beach to walk/bike to for sunsets. We had some amazing memories in this house and can’t wait to be back.

We stayed at this house for a wedding weekend, and it was perfect for the 4 people we had. It had 4 other beds that we didn't use so plenty of room for groups of larger people. Its located about 10 minutes from the ferry which if you don't want to be right in town its prefect. Quite part of the island which was very peaceful to sit out on the deck for a beverage and some music and not be worried about bothering close neighbors or people passing by. Plenty of room inside and out. Would highly recommend for families or friends. Next time we are out there for an extended period of time, we would love to stay here again!

Lots of room, all necessities for our stay, close to several smaller beaches, which we really enjoyed! A car is needed for the location which took us to many of the key sites we had not seen in the past. The house is next to a horse farm, which delighted the younger set. All enjoyed our stay and hoping to stay again!

Nice hidden spot on the island
Property was on a quiet side of the island. We enjoyed the horses next door, roosters, chickens and even a peacock in the yard. Fire pit was awesome and the night time stars were amazing to see. Great experience. Nice property to rent.

Very happy with this rental! Had a family wedding on Block Island so stayed for only two nights . 2 bedrooms on each floor ,my brother, his wife and two grown sons stayed upstairs while my son, his fiancée and I stayed downstairs (which is actually an in-law apartment with its own entrance ) very clean, lots of natural light , completely updated with very nice finishes and comfortable beds. I loved the fact that it’s away from all the mayhem downtown- quiet and peaceful. (The rooster nextdoor was not an issue ) Central air was a huge plus for us with the 90* heat. Our only regret is that we didn’t book it for a week! Would go back in a heartbeat!

Everything was great! Our only complaint was that there weren't a whole lot of blankets for the beds. Everything was clean and worked properly. We enjoyed the fire pit, wildlife, blackberry bushes in the backyard, and the beautiful night sky! We will come back next year!

Great place to stay
The place was very nice., house all updated, very nice appliances, central air. Fit 4 couples comfortable. Roosters are far enough away that you don’t hear them in morning. We all loved the peacocks! The place is in middle of island so definitely need a automobile

House was perfect. Located away from the busier side of the island. Host was very responsive. The young man, "John" from the farm next door was so much fun. My daughter went on more than one horseback ride while we were there. Only thing I would suggest, especially if traveling with your family, is grocery shop on the mainland. Bring a cooler and put it in your car to bring perishables accross on the ferry. The grocery store on the island was very expensive. For example; a pound of chicken was $7, case of diet coke $13. Best place to eat out was Mcaloons. Looking forward to returning in the future.

Peaceful and Relaxing Setting on BI
If you are looking to rent a home on Block Island don’t pass over this rental. The home was clean, nicely furnished and spacious. The picture windows provide broad outside views of a grassy knoll and adjacent pond to view wildlife.
The homes location provides an opportunity to really “get away from it all” so that you can enjoy your time with those you vacation with. We appreciated being close to many walking trails so if you enjoy hiking, be sure to plan a hike at Rodman’s Hollow Nature Preserve.
The description of the home and it’s amenities were right on target and communicating with the owner was a breeze. We had a delightful time vacationing at this comfortable home on beautiful Block Island.

Great property
Great stay for a week on Block Island with a bigger group! Nice being set back from the craziness of the town. You’ll hear roosters next door at all hours but it adds to the experience. Great little house for large groups as there’s many beds and rooms. Owners were quickly responsive with any questions we had. Will definitely be back!

Overall good experience. A few concerns.
We were somewhat shocked to find two of the smoke detectors open and without batteries. A serious oversight by the owners. We purchased batteries for them. The light in the hall upstairs is like a strobe light, and actually made walking down the steep stairs more dangerous. The stone "floor" in the outdoor shower is uncomfortable and, when soapy, potentially dangerous. A major flaw is the fact that so many screens were defective (bent so that there were gaps, and holes) or missing entirely. While we should have been able to open all the windows, we could open very few because of the screen issue. The large fly population, most likely due to the horse barn (and other animals) next door, were a nuisance not only on the deck, but also inside the house. (Some of the screens in the few windows we did open also had holes in them.) The kitchen screen door had especially large holes. One other observation is that although the showers are large, soap and shampoo need to be placed on the floor, due to the fact that there is no other place to put them. Although we were prepared for the farm animal noise, we did not expect it to be throughout the night. We anticipated only being awakened early in the morning by roosters. The mattresses all received uncomfortable reviews. On a positive note, the kitchen and living room layout was ideal for the whole family to gather together.

Coming back next year!
Such a cute place! Cozy and comfortable, the pictures really don’t do it justice. We didn’t have any problems with the roosters, in fact we found their doodling in the morning pleasant and kind of funny. The only downside was that the grill doesn’t work, but we made do just fine with the fully applianced kitchen. We loved the little bit of distance from town, and rented/rode bikes into town on more than one occasion. The Jeep mascot in the yard was super charming and we got a few nice pictures posing with it. Zahara, Robert and their property manager gabby were friendly, accommodating and made the trip stress free! We’re totally coming back to this property next year and I highly recommend it.

Peaceful escape
Home was lovely, updated, beautiful large yard, plenty of room for even our large party of 10. Need a car or be on a schedule with pick up times for taxis, WiFi and cell connections are brutal and it’s a long walk to town. The roosters are on their own schedule, typically waking up before 4am, but it’s worth it, serene setting right next to the riding stables.
Garbage service should be included with the rental, just not convenient to lug trash to the dump. A few beach chairs and umbrellas would be helpful as well.
Overall, really nice house, great week.

Our stay
It was a beautiful house and we had a great time. A couple of issues were no screens in some of the windows, and the mattresses are old and stained and in my opinion need to be replaced. Besides that it was great.
