Wouldn’t recommend this place
I have stayed in many nicer places for much less $.
Just because it’s on Block Island, I supposed the owner feels they can charge this much, but it is definitely not work it.
The host is very difficult to get a hold of. I sent a message when I first booked, got no reply. Then sent a few messages just before the date, because a hurricane was threatening, and there were possibly going to be ferry cancellations. It took several emails, and then a call to vrbo to get a response. Checking in was also difficult, he didn’t send me instructions until the evening of check in, after I sent an email through vrbo. He said his phone doesn’t work at his house, mine worked, he uses the wrong carrier, no way to do business!
There are two flights of very steep steps you need to climb to get up to the apartment, and I found it to be very dingy and had to wash the kitchen counters, as there was oily grime on them, and crumbs on the glassware shelf.
The bed had no bedspread, just two very crumpled sheets, and an old light synthetic blanket. It was positioned under the roofline and I hit my head very hard on the low slanted ceiling after trying to settle the pillows and sheets.
Worst though, the mattress was very worn. There was a low spot on one side, so I had to try to sleep on the far side, where it was firmer. Hardly slept either night. I had chosen this rental, because it stated that it slept four. The second “bed” was a very worn futon couch, glad my daughter didn’t come!
