We just returned from a wonderful weekend to Block Island and Shel's home with long-time friends (8 of us in all). Everything about Shel's home was perfect--in fact, one of our group remarked it was even better than what was described in the listing. The space was great--enough for eating, gathering together, napping, sleeping--both inside and out. Lovely gardens--will only get better as spring unfolds. Private outdoor tub for relaxing under the stars! Block Island is just now waking up for the season, but there was still plenty to do. Shel's home is well situated to/from the ferry; and with bikes, we explored the lighthouses and nature preserve. Communication with Shel was informative and response time was immediate. All around, it was an exceptional weekend, made better by our stay in a very comfortable home. Thank you, Shel!
