Sharon's place on Block Island is truly special. There are so many elements that make her place amazing, it is almost hard to list them. The first is Sharon- who is gracious, thoughtful and kind. She made us feel welcomed and cared for. The house is located up the hill where you see a sweeping view of the ocean from her front. Sipping coffee on her wicker chairs in the morning with that view was amazing. ( Thank you for the French Press, Sharon!) The house is tastefully decorated and equipped. There are top of the line appliances, new and very comfortable furniture, airy, lovey bedrooms and several outdoor seating options including a deck, two patios and a front patio. Each room has an air conditioner split in case you need them. There is a a washer and dryer and Sharon provided beach towels and chairs as well! Amazing host! The wood floors throughout the house are beautiful and the entire property is landscaped with beautiful flowers and plants and a lush, green lawn. A brick pathway brings you to the back of the house where a patio with a rod iron table and chairs await you. Further back is another patio with lounge chairs, Adirondack chairs and a hammock. A new deck is attached to the kitchen and with a large, comfortable table. Sharon even has an outdoor shower! She has thought of everything to make your stay one that will top all others. Block Island in itself is nothing short of a slice of heaven. The beaches, the trails and the friendly community make you want to live here forever. It was truly hard for us to get back on the ferry and come home!
My sister, brother and husband were here to celebrate a birthday. Neither of my siblings had been back to the island since we were kids in the 1960's. While the island has "grown up" quite a bit since then, it is still the magical place we remember as kids and Sharon's Sterling House was truly the best part. If you ever get the chance to stay here- take it immediately. We feel blessed beyond measure to have had this opportunity. I wish there were more than five stars that I could give this beautiful spot because I would give it to Sharon and her Sterling House easily. Thank you, Sharon, for making our vacation so perfect. We hope to be back again soon.
