We brought our bikes, and the location of James & Julia's place couldn't have been better. We were able to easily ride our bikes to the beach, the Block Island Ferry, and a great ice cream place. We easily walked to breakfast and a Cumbies. A full service Stop & Shop is a short car-ride, as well as Job Lot for every other need. The space is great for the summer, and we ate all our meals outside, using the grill multiple times. It is located right on the main road, so traffic noise during the day is a bit heavy, but it quiets down considerably at night. Wished we had stayed longer!
