Beach is just steps away! Private path from upscale family home! Booking 2025!

Sweeping water views with the sound of crashing waves and gentle ocean breezes are the highlights of this upscale family home located in the private beachside community of Crescent Beach Cottages.

With three separate bedrooms (queen, queen, twin) and another set of twin beds on the updated lower level, this home comfortably sleeps 8.

The home is clean and bright throughout. All bed quilts, comforters and pillow shams are provided freshly laundered for each guest. Bath mats also provided freshly laundered for each guest.

The first floor of the house features a queen bedroom and a twin bedroom which share a full bath.

The second floor features the kitchen and large great room with two seating areas and a half bathroom. Enjoy preparing meals in the bright kitchen with views of the water and conservation land. The kitchen is fully stocked with plates, glasses, flatware, serving utensils, and pots and pans (including a large lobster pot). Appliances include a traditional coffee maker, Keurig coffee maker, toaster oven, blender, hand mixer and Magic Bullet smoothie maker. Granite countertops, electric stove, dishwasher and new refrigerator round out the gourmet kitchen. The great room offers a TV with DIRECTV. The large upper deck off the great room offers sweeping ocean views to the east where you can enjoy amazing sunrises and views to the west to watch the deep orange sunsets. Outside, there is a table for dining, two relaxing rocking chairs and a Weber Grill for outdoor cooking.

The third floor features the master suite with a queen bed, walk in closet, a peaceful sitting area and a separate upgraded bathroom with tub and shower.

Back on the updated lower level, there are two twin beds and a sitting area. The washer and dryer are located on the lower level with a walk out entrance available.

Just off the first floor porch, there is a private outdoor shower with hot and cold running water. Also provided for the tenants use are a variety of beach items. We have eight beach chairs, at least four boogie boards, one beach umbrella and assorted sand toys. No need to drag those necessary items with you - they take up too much space in your car!

The beach is literally steps away from the back porch down a private path. This section of Crescent Beach is south of Mansion Beach with amazing surf and north of Scotch Beach and the popular Town Beach.

The house is located directly across from the Block Island Club which offers weekly memberships that provide access to tennis courts, kayaks, paddle boards and sailboats. A trip to Andy's Way is a short bike ride north and the downtown area with restaurant and shops is located a short ride south. The house offers easy access to many attractions in town.

Finally, when you decide to take a break, the family home is stocked with an assortment of puzzles and family games like Scrabble, Clue, Monopoly and more!

From a safety standpoint, carbon monoxide detectors and a brand new monitored smoke alarm system has been installed throughout the house.

We are interested in renting to families and couples that will take care of this home as if it were their own.

Absolutely no tenant dogs are allowed in the community and renters are expected to respectful of the neighbors in the upscale community. There is parking for two cars on the driveway.

Block Island is our most favorite destination! We would be excited to offer advice for newcomers to the island. We hope you decide to join us this season.

PLEASE NOTE: During June, July and August we have a 7 night minimum, with SATURDAY as our turn over day.

Short walk to best beach

The best part of our stay was that the house was a very short walk to the best beach on the island, enabling us to take many trips back and forth required by the children.

Long Weekend in Block Island

We rented this lovely property to attend a family wedding at Sullivan House. It was conveniently located to all wedding activities and town. The host was very communicative and helped calm our nerves as we dealt with travel and Hurricane Lee. It turned out to be a lovely weekend.

Block Island Beach House

We loved the house, the views, the beach, the location, and our stay on BI. Well stocked house with many thoughtful touches and beautiful decor. I loved the little sitting area on the front porch where we all found time to read. Highly recommended!

Elegant and easy

Really enjoyed our stay at this well-appointed, yet comfortable and cozy house at Crescent Beach Cottages. We had spectacular ocean and harbor views and enjoyed access to Crescent beach a short walk away. There is a super large common grassy area that was perfect for frisbee, football, and wiffle ball games. A dream for a family with kids!

Superb Property

This beach house is everything one could want in a vacation home. Its location, just a short walk down a private path, is perfect to make quick trips back to the house as needed and still maximize beach time. Our family found everything we needed in this well appointed house including beach chairs and boogie boards. Even the bed mattresses allowed us a solid nights sleep to prepare for the next day of fun beach activities. We loved this house with one of the best locations on the island.

Fourth of July Week

Kim and her husband are the best hosts! This is our Fourth year staying here and it was almost perfect once again…. The house, the location, the beach….normally we come in August and the basement bedrooms can be too hot and stuffy but this year in July they were a cool and quiet respite from the party going on next door until midnight on the Fourth….we knew to expect downtown Block to be crazy during the holiday but did not expect the neighbors to be screaming until midnight. That was THE ONLY downside to a beautiful and peaceful retreat. Thank you for the memories once again Kim!! Miss The Block already💙

Amazing location!!

We had an incredible stay at this property. The location is unbeatable with just a short walk to the most beautiful beach. The house is perfect with just the right amount of separation between the bedrooms and the main living area on the upper level was perfect for enjoying the view of the ocean and town, and the deck. The house came stocked with beach towels, beach accessories and plenty of cookware in the kitchen. Kim was always communicative throughout the entire process and I rate her very highly as a host. I highly recommend this property.

Thank You Kim

Kim’s Cozy Crescent Cottage was perfect for our COVID Respite. Kim, the owner, has provided every amenity needed and she even welcomed our daughter at ferry when we couldn’t come over right away after storm due to power outage and COVID concerns....In the crazy time of social distancing, this was THE PERFECT SPOT... quiet sandy beach, BI club watersport amenities across the street and everything we needed to enjoy dining in the cottage. Looking forward to next year and beyond...Truly Grateful for Kim and her Crescent Beach Cottage

Dream Family Vacation

Hands down best location on Block Island! Steps to the beach, ocean waves lull you to sleep at night and singing birds serenade you as you wake in the morning. The house is beautiful and was very comfortable for myself and my family of all ages. Everything is ready for use and your consideration. We had a dream family vacation with memories that are priceless. Thank you!! We will hope to come back as soon as we can. The Bird/Brown Family

New Years on the Block

My family has been renting homes in Block for the last 25 years and I would say that this home was right up , if not at the top of all the rentals. As stated in prior renter reviews, the home is beautiful and situated at such a great location on the island. The property allows you more than enough room to play yard games or jump hang out outdoors. The views are amazing and hearing the waves crash is just a bonus.The home is just a couple minute drive from the center where all the action is, well during the summer months anyways. Kim was beyond accommodating to our needs and a pleasure to work with throughout the process. We certainly hope to return in the not so distant future.

beyond grateful

I can't even begin to thank Kim enough for sharing her incredible home with us. We have been coming to Block Island every summer for over 20 years - and Kim's home is, for sure, our favorite - We are already planning our next visit! We are ocean lovers living in the high desert of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Being a native Rhode Islander, I treasure my annual treks back to the beach - Block Island is near and dear to me and my family. It was such a treat in every way - a seamless check in, spotless and beautifully decorated and welcoming home, exquisite weather and water crystal clear. What more could one possibly wish for? Truly, there was not one thing missing - Kim went above and beyond to welcome us, and we are are indeed beyond grateful. Laurie Lenfestey

Best in Class Block Island Hospitality

This cottage exemplifies best in class hospitality. The space was perfectly suited for our extended family: grandparents in the 3rd floor bedroom, large open living area on the 2nd floor, two bedrooms and shared bath on the first floor including one with a closet big enough for a pack 'n play crib, and overflow bedroom in basement for a toddler in a pack 'n play crib. The decor is light (think white duck), attractive with subtle color themes in every room, but no oppressive, junk or tacky "beach" stuff. The kitchen is fully stocked for a crowd and the pots, storage bowls, utensils, knives are all top shelf - nothing feels like it's the owner's "base home" leftovers. Open a cabinet or drawer and you see neat stacks of identical glassware or silverware. Every drawer or storage cubby is clearly labeled with what goes there. The owner was generous with "soft" materials (like TP, napkins, dishwashing detergent) we're usually lugging to our VRBO properties: We had the use of beach chairs and umbrella, boogie boards if we'd wanted them, all neatly stored on their outside hooks. The fabulous Crescent Beach was a 5 minute walk down a sandy path and could not have been more gorgeous during our sunny, warm September stay. It was spectacular - and deserted. Correspondence with the owner Kim was thorough and timely. I cannot speak highly enough about our rental experience. This property was probably the most expensive one I've ever rented, but the experience was so comfortable for me and my family that I didn't resent one dime of the fee.
