Quiet Walk To The Beach

Built in 1720, this cozy farmhouse is a cool summer retreat for those seeking a simple quiet vacation. The house is located on 14 acres of fields and woodlands adjacent to the expansive Clayhead nature preserve and other large private holdings. Take the 10 minute nature trail walk to Clayhead beach to swim and sunbathe or continue a further 300 yards south to the famous Mansion Beach.The trail also brings you under the Clayhead bluffs where you can enjoy the best striped bass fishing in the world. Walk north under the bluffs for about an hour to reach the iconic surfcaster's destination of Sandy Point or stalk nearer coves for 40lb bass.You can also follow the meandering trail along the top of cliffs with exceptional eastern views of the ocean, the ferry coming and going and Old Harbor.

Reaching town takes about 5 minutes by car or 15 by bicycle.

Guests are allowed access to a high-end propane grill.

A shaded picnic table and set of lawn chairs allows guests to enjoy their meals beneath 100 year old maples.

The large front yard is ideal for lawn sports.

The nearby Block Island Club offers weekly rates for sailboat rentals and tennis court access. Cars, Kayaks and Bicycles and Standup Paddle Boards may be rented in town.

Accessing the bedrooms requires the use of historic 1720's staircases which are rather steep. They are not recommended for the elderly or infirm or young children. One ground level bedroom is available for those who are limited physically.

A barn on the property is occupied by owners.

Magical. The green stairs should be thought of as a ladder. The house is not the most glamorous but I loved not having to worry about anything. I can't wait to go back it was perfect. Bring sheets and towels. This is Block Island the way it used to be.

Peaceful retreat

Such a quiet spot! I don’t think we heard or saw another person during our entire stay. The house was comfortable and well stocked. I especially appreciated the laundry being on the main floor, the outdoor shower, and the miles of clothes line! Everything you need when you’re back and forth to the beach every day!

This is a very special place. Old world and rustic, charming, off the beaten path. Weather was strange this week, but when the hurricane veered west we ended with a beautiful weekend. We had a wonderful family time.

Charming antique home in quiet location near nature trail to beach

Charming and interesting historic home, with all the necessities. Appreciate the heads up about steep stairs, low ceilings upstairs. The full size bed upstairs had some complaints. The best part of being here was the homeyness, quiet, and being a nice walk to a gorgeous rocky beach.

Very old school beauty of a home. Property was peaceful and beautiful, woodsy but not far from town. Deer and pheasant in yard each morning and close to town. Perfect and idyllic, like a step back in time.

Rustic Charm

The house is very rustic, but it is tucked away in a nice little piece of property. Our dogs had plenty of room to run around. The owner was very attentive and we enjoyed the fresh honey and honey mustard very much. Don't go if you are expecting the Hilton, but if you want a unique experience, this is for you.

Perfect beach vacation

You couldn’t find a better location and rental on BI than this. The house has everything you could possibly need and a great outdoor area with a picnic table, grill and outdoor shower. The location is amazing: just a short walk down a picturesque trail to a stunningly beautiful beach and you have it basically all to yourself.

Summer trip

Pros- Very quiet setting. Private grounds and tree filled. Property near beach. Lots of plates, pots and pans and utensils. It would have been helpful to have a non stick pan, paper towels and white kitchen garbage bags though. Very good propane grill. Cons- extremely buggy inside the house. Front door screen door does not close, so it was either buggy or hot. Window screens had lots of gaps, filled with paper towel bits and duct tape. Toilet leaked a bit at base. The stairs up to 3 of the bedrooms are very steep, without handrail. These rooms are not appropriate at all for older folks or very young children. One person in our party slid down the staircase, no, not alcohol related. Needs repair.

Nice rustic house

We had a crew in for Block Island Raceweek. One bath is a challenge with a large group, but the kitchen and beds worked great (you need to be fairly athletic to get up stairs/ladder to upstairs bedrooms). Big yard and nice secluded property. Chris was quick to respond and helpful.

Wonderful location. Peaceful. Too many bugs.

Taking our dog to walk the the trail to the water was a highlight every morning. The old house is rustic and we expected that - but the bugs were a real drag. And we never got our honey 😕. Full disclosure- we did not contact the owner about the bugs during our stay so this is not to say we complained and nothing was done. However, by the end of the week I wished I had said something because my patience was shot. My son said his 2nd floor bedroom was “a damn ecosystem. “ Functional but no frills.

Lovely location close to Clayhead trails and Mansion Beach with easy access to hiking, biking and all the island's charms. The house itself is exactly as listed - we had 6 adults for a week and all were comfortable. The host is wonderfully hospitable and available as needed. Great property, too.

Quiet is hard to find

Chris's house was perfect for our stay. The simple little farm house is located off of a dirt road and far from the hustle and bustle of the island. The house was simple, but was everything we needed. It was extremely clean, comfortable and well equipped. At night, all you can hear is the ocean in the distance. It has a couple of big comfy sofa's. Comfortable beds. A very well equipped kitchen with nice cookware and gas stove made it easy to cook. (Albeit no dishwasher). So happy to have a big washer and dryer in the house as well. It was a bit cold when we were there and the house has a super efficient heater. The stairwells are small and steep, but actually we just used the downstairs bedroom. There is a nice sunny yard to sit in. The house is right by the islands best walking trails and a walk to a gorgeous rocky beach. Thanks Chris, for such a lovely stay!
