Block Island Getaway

We’ve been visiting Block Island for quite a few years now and stay at different rentals each time on the island. This rental did not disappoint! Very remote and quiet for our family. With 4 very young children, it was a perfect place. The owner was very accessible for questions and the house was very clean and pleasant. The only complaint is the driveway/road access is very bumpy, but an suv has no problem on it. Overall, this retail really made our vacation this summer! I would recommend this house for those who enjoy peace away from the excitement of the town and beach crowds. We would certainly stay here again if we vacation on Block again!

Amazing family gathering

We had a great week at this property. When we arrived we were amazed by how stunning the area was. The house is even prettier than the photos. It's remote which we loved as we are musicians and enjoyed playing music in the back yard. The beds are all very comfortable. Linda was so attentive to any questions that we had. It is a good distance from town so bring a car or be prepared to use a taxi, which is very easy to do. We loved our week at Linda's house. You will too!

Inaccurate listing and unclean

First off, we love Block Island and loved our time on the island. The house's yard was also great for our young children to explore. But we had a few major issues with the house, which shouldn't be a surprise to the host because we communicated them throughout our stay. First, the communication with Linda was often delayed (I had to reach out to her the day before our trip). She was often defensive when we had questions and frustrations particularly with the cleanliness of the house and the location of various things (such as a remote control for the tv). There was no house guide or book or anything to help us with any FAQs that might come up with a house that isn't your own. The kitchen was very grimy, with cabinet doors loose, and the dishwasher falling out. She offered to have the cleaning person come back during our stay - which didn't seem fair to the cleaner and would be disruptive to us. There were about 7 lights that had missing lightbulbs, which she again offered to have the cleaning person drop off. We felt that these were home owner issues and not something for a cleaner to have to manage mid-week. Many fixtures were in disrepair (light fixtures, toilet paper rolls, etc.). The outdoor tables and chairs were filthy and many were broken, making them unsafe for our kids to use. We also had to bring ALL of our linens, which she communicated one day prior to check in. I had to ask repeatedly if there were blankets for the beds or if we had to bring those, as well. With four children, this meant adding a giant suitcase and a lot of extra cleanup and work for us. Lastly, the house is on a VERY rough road with deep ruts. This has been mentioned in previous reviews, and not dealt with. The road was so deep that our car kept bottoming out, so I had to drive around them scratching the car all over the place. The photos in the listing are nice but deceptive - they must be at least 10 years old since the outdoor pergola is overgrown with vines and unusable. Again, love Block Island. Very disappointed by the house that was listed and the communication with the host.

About the host

Hosted by Linda Van Kooy

My name is Linda Van Kooy and I am a horse trainer in North Salem, New York.
I moved here from Bedford, New York were I was for 20 years.
I grew up in Seaford,Long Island. I travel to Europe frequently because I have family in Switzerland and in Holland. I love to ski and play tennis and fly in small planes whenever
possible.
I love to share my house with other nice family's. I have a book on my coffee table in Block that renters have been writing there Block Island adventures and stories about staying in the house in. It's fun to read.

Why they chose this property

I bought my house from a friend of mine who built it for himself. I ended up buying it from him and he built another house on Martha's Vineyard. I am so glad that I bought the Block house. I started out buying it just as an investment thinking I would turn around and sell it, but 18 years later I still have it. I'll have it forever. Block Island is amazing, every season and every year is special..

What makes this property unique

I call the house the," Secluded Cottage" because of it's location and privacy. It"s a great place to get away from the crowds in town, in the summer and be with nature all year round. The house is surrounded by sanctuary land and walking trails. In the summer you only see one house way off in the distance. It's really nice and private. The house is adorable and very well maintained.
