Overall, me and my family enjoyed our time at the house, we would not come back though.
The location was great with easy access to the Block Island ferry and Slaty Brine beach.
The no linen policy was unclear at booking (some things were listed under essentials, but was later clarified as not being included) as well as the reason why it was in place. We had to bring sheets, pillows, hand towels for kitchen and bathroom, beach towels, bath towels, and extra towels for the bathroom floors. It was a lot, especially for a three bedroom house, and we wondered why the cleaning fee wasn’t reduced.
We couldn’t connect the no linen policy to
COVID precautions. It was unclear how it would prevent the spread of the virus and couldn’t find any state precautions stating it as mandatory.
It left us with a ‘standoffish’ feeling of being in the house and were afraid to touch anything or do anything that may upset the owners.
The location was great and we spent most of our time in the yard and tiki bar, which we thoroughly enjoyed.
