Tiny and easily fixable atributes
Very nice. Nice porch. Minimal water views. Slightly weird adaptation in a small place. We were looking for such a place. No dish washer. Down fall of visit was no internet access or TV reception. Owner attempted hardily to rectify issues but no resolution or offer to compensate. Needed 2 towels and had no soap.

Lovely Cottage
We had an enjoyable stay. The cottage was clean and cozy. Exactly what we needed to get away. It was central to all of the sites we wanted to see. It was our first visit to Block Island. What a beautiful haven away from commercialization. Look forward to returning. Mark & Racheal Houghton

Beautiful cottage, great location
First off Karen was wonderful to work with. Clear communication and expectations from the beginning. The cottage was the perfect size for my family and super cute. We loved the view and pond behind the property. You also get a small ocean view through the main windows. Location is great. Close to New Harbor and walking distance to a playground and trails at Ball O’Brian park. You can also walk down Champlin Road all the way to the beach. Just lovely. We will absolutely book with Sweet Retreat moving forward!

Great little cottage
We really enjoy this cottage. It’s perfect for a couple’s getaway. It’s just enough space for 2 or 3 and still allows for an affordable vacation to the Island which is rare these days. The surrounding property is beautiful. Good deer watching at night. The house has it quirks but that’s what we like about it. As long as you understand you’re not booking a 5 star hotel you’ll enjoy it too. I definitely recommend it.

The house was so cozy and cute! The views of the ponds front and back were so lovely. Nice privacy surrounding this cottage. Much nicer then just a hotel "room"!! A perfect location and everything we needed was there for a very comfortable stay. Karen was helpful with anything we needed!

An extended stay on Block Island …
The property we initially stayed in - Foc’sle - was exactly as advertised. Quirky, charming and in a great location. The owners were extremely responsive and we very much enjoyed our stay. Then, the morning of our departure, a storm hit and all ferries were cancelled for days on end. (As I wrote this, morning ferries have been cancelled again.) In response, the owners have allowed us to extend our stay in one of the other houses on the property for as long as we needed. Which is how 2 days came to be 5 and counting. I could go on about the property and the owners, but the reality is that I can’t find enough kind words to say about Karen, who has simply been magnificent to us under circumstances that are extremely unusual, to say the least.

Block Island cottage
Nice cottage in good location; quiet, off the beaten path. Great porch for enjoying the pond and view of new harbor. Owner, Glenn, gave us apples from the property which was a lovely jester. I think they have had numerous guests without a lot of common sense because there are signs everywhere, like please have shower curtain in shower base. The cottage is rustic so expect that.

Cozy Cottage with everything we needed
What a delightful rural feel to this getaway that was only a short drive to Town. My husband and I loved the brightness, soothing blue/aqua/white decor, cleanliness, and the rustic white-washed stone walls in the bedroom downstairs. It was lovely to have our lunch on the deck, overlooking the grass and pond - even had a neighbor's cow meander across the lawn one morning. Our hosts were always quick to respond to little questions we had both before and during our stay. We have already recommended the cottage to friends and hope to return some day. Many thanks!

Cute Cottage with distinctive touches. Loved the stone walled bedroom. The dehumidifier being on might be a problem for some but it muffled my snoring and allowed my wife to sleep better! Nicely stocked kitchen saved us a few bucks on eating out. Conveniently located near town but not too close to be overwhelmed with tourists. Great place to stay for the money on Block Island.

Beautiful haven
The cottage is a dream! Beautiful location for a Restful vacation! Communication with Karen was easy and she was kind enough to let me move my reservation when life events came up. She also let us stow our bags at the house, and was overall so communicative and a lovely host. Don’t make our mistake though, and don’t forget your own towels and sheets! We cannot wait to be back to explore more.

Perfect weekend trip
This little cottage was perfect for our fall weekend trip to the island. Had everything we needed and it was enjoyable sitting on the deck watching all the birds at the feeder and in the trees. Glenn and Karen both checked in on how the trip was going and were ideal hosts. Highly recommend this cottage!

This place was perfect for my husband and I for our honeymoon retreat! It was nice to be tucked in out of the busy town, and the private pond was just darling. It was peaceful and cozy, and the owners were so kindly available to us whenever we had any questions. Absolutely recommend this Vrbo.

Cozy, Compact, and Convenient!
I rented this home out for my parents, as they both hit a milestone birthday this year and I wanted to get them a trip to some place special. They'd never been to Block Island before, and this little getaway left a good impression on them! Check in was easy, they received a call to confirm when the place was ready. The space is *much* smaller than it seemed in the photos to me, though it is hard to portray the scale in photos. For me, and for my parents, it was a perfect size though. It packs so much convenience and light in that it doesn't feel cramped at all. It has everything you need. My parents enjoyed waking up each morning and eating breakfast on the deck, which overlooks a small pond that gets many feathered visitors throughout the day. It is close to New Harbor, and it is within reasonable walking distance to catch a beautiful sunset. I was seriously jealous of this spot when I saw it for myself, and am strongly considering renting it out myself for next year!

Did not stay at property
This property was not what we expected. The basement bedroom is more or less a dungeon. The owners are literally 2 feet away from the cabin (aka shack). The "cabin" hadn't been cleaned by the time we arrived. We did not stay, would not come back to this property, and would not recommend.
