My husband and I stayed at Rich and Patty's AirBnB, and it was our first visit to Block Island. We were a little nervous initially because this is a new AirBnB and there weren't any reviews yet. Needless to say, we were beyond thrilled with our accommodations, Rich and Patty's hospitality, and our overall experience.
Rich met us at the ferry and helped us get oriented with the area, providing all kinds of valuable bits of info about fun things to do, good restaurants, taxi's, scooter rentals, etc. Our room and private bath were fantastic, way beyond our expectations!! Very spacious, immaculate, well-appointed, great view. It was nice to have our own little fridge and coffee maker in the room too. AC was quiet and worked so well, it actually got too cold, so we turned it off/down!
Rich and Patty were both very warm and welcoming, so much so that we wished there was breakfast included so we could hang out with them. We grabbed a taxi very easily, and each time we just mentioned we were staying at Rich's new AirBnB and the drivers knew exactly where to take us.
We explored the entire island by Moped and found lots of cool little beaches. But our favorite by far was South Beach. We live in Newport RI so have access to many nice beaches. The water at South Beach was the cleanest/clearest we had ever seen in RI, and the sand was soft with no shells or rocks to hurt your feet. We hope to be back soon for another visit to Hilltop Happiness.
Highly recommend!
