This place is an absolute gem! I will give you the top three reasons why it's a gem-although there…read moreare many other "perks" which I will try to touch upon. First off, there was "Robyn"- I'd heard previous reviews , but honestly; until you meet her, you just have no idea how special this woman is!! When I say, she's a ray of sun shine-I mean it. She exudes positivity, kindness, graciousness!! She greeted us immediately, and gave us a brief orientation. Offered us lemon infused water, showed us where we can grab fluffy beach towels,, etc. gave us a tour of the grounds and incredible views. Then she showed us our room. She was extremely knowledgeable about the area-and made some wonderful dining recommendations. Our room was very cute. It has a country cottage appeal-bedding was high quality, as were the bath towels and toiletries. Our bed was so comfortable with the best pillows I've ever slept on. Bath robes were also provided, which was also such a nice touch. Our daily breakfast delivery was very special. I loved all of it-there was such an attention to detail-like a ramekin of Maldon salt flakes to add to the tomatoes on my lox and cream cheese bagel. Orange juice and coffee press every morning, and always a well balanced breakfasts. Eating off of hand crafted pottery made the meals even more appealing. I loved all those special touches. Any time we'd see Robyn in passing, she would always greet us with her beautiful smile and wonderful energy. She is such an asset to sea breeze. I'm sure the proprietors must know what an absolute gem they have in Robyn. Our room was close to the main road-so we did have to deal with a bit of street noise, however, it was also ticked all the way in back, which felt more private than some of the other cottages.

We spent Thanksgiving 2025 at the Avonlea. When we arrived, I was quite surprised as the place is…read morea bit run down. Never the less we were excited to be there. Although surprisingly shabby, the ambiance was nice enough. Sabrina was wonderful. She brought us to our room (The Emerald) with its king size bed, sitting area and large bath. We booked that room as my husband is extremely tall and needs a little more wiggle room in the bed for his legs. Had a king not been available, we would have looked elsewhere. We booked for 3 nights. The room was lovely....except for the dreadful stench of a dead rodent in the wall. No ones fault, but the penetrating odor made it impossible to stay in that room and not feel filthy and/or ill. Sabrina apologized that she had not been in the room for a few days and had no idea of the horrific smell. She did try to have the problem remediated -but to no avail. We were offered a different- very tiny -room (Ruby). It consisted of a smaller bed, no seating, tattered and torn curtains and it was difficult to negotiate getting around the one side of the bed that was passable. Although no ones fault- except for the rat -, we were extremely disappointed as there was nothing luxurious or special about this 2nd room. View was nice though. Sabrina assured us that they would handle the price adjustment over the weekend. In the end, we left a day early. It was our choice and we did not expect any reimbursement for that one night. We merely wanted the difference in price between the the two rooms at the time we booked. It seemed like a very fair request.. The difference in price was $250.00, of course we asked for nothing more, despite out inconvenience. The price was not adjusted by time we left so we called when we returned home. Here is the rub!!!! It was a struggle to have an intelligent conversation - never mind get our rate adjusted to match the quoted rate for that second room. The manager was extremely difficult, snarky and incredibly rude. He was arguing about returning any money to us. I explained that Sabrina said they would reimburse us the difference. After several days, G., the manager came up with an arbitrary $200 reimbursement instead of the full amount. After a further struggle, he said he would see if he could do better. We called several times and he never did do better. In fact after his $200 declaration, he never accepted any of our calls. Twice, I also tried to reach the owner, Ann Law, to see if she could understand the unfairness of the situation. No response from her either. They simply ignored our correspondence. While we were at the Avonlea, Ann was readily available to chat about her newly written book she was promoting during Thanksgiving dinner. $50 won't break our bank, but wow what an unprofessional and unnecessary experience. It would have thought it would not have broken their bank either. From the overall shape of the place maybe it would! Perhaps Ann will use the extra money for some new curtains or some rat traps. If you don't mind a shabby place and you don't run into any problems that need to be fairly addressed, you may like it there. Great views and great location. BTW. - I waited to see if they were ever going to respond or refund before I wrote this review. They chose not to. Hey everyone is nice when things go smoothly. True colors come with adversity. This review couldn't be any closer to the truth . Good luck. Maybe try something different.

Basically a $100 Hampton Inn is significantly nicer & has a much better breakfast, at 3.5x the cost I shouldn't have to repair the toilet every time I flush it.

The cost of rooms tend to run cheaper as far as Sunday-Thursday stay. If you come in during a Friday or Saturday it is a minimum 2night stay. The rooms definitely have an old Victorian type feel.

It is conveniently located--it is just down the street from the Old Harbor ferry terminal, but it is off the main stretch (Water Street) on a much quieter side street. Everything is accessible, but you're not right on top of or next to the "party" bars nearby. It also has parking on the premises and a bike rack. We booked our room back in April, and, at that time, we had our choice of the rooms available in the house. I believe there are six rooms there for guests, and each of the rooms are described on the business's website. We chose Room 5, a room on the second floor with its own private bathroom (many hotels and guest houses on Block Island were built in the 19th century, so this amenity is not a guarantee). It was excellent--it was clean when we arrived, and cleaned every day we stayed there. The bathroom in this room is particularly spacious, too. It faces out the back of the house, reducing any noise coming from the street (which wasn't much in the first place). Breakfast is on offer every morning on the first floor in a small kitchen to the right of the front door. The owners set out an assortment of foods, coffee, tea, and orange juice. In fact, they even left out breakfast items, plates, and cups specifically for us on the last night of our stay, which was a very nice touch. The owners are very friendly and manage the property very efficiently. They were happy to answer our questions, give directions, and attend to guests' needs. We enjoyed our stay here very much and we would be very happy to stay here again. Highly recomended!
