Charming place in New Harbor
We enjoyed our visit to this clean, solid, accommodating inn. Lovely hosts run a charming place with a laid back vibe for a welcoming stay. Great spot with water views but it’s a mile walk or cab ride from Old Harbor ferry. (No Uber) Decent breakfast.

I love the quietness of the area and the options for a view of the new harbor and sunset of the inn. Great place to grab breakfast and sit on the porch with coffee in the morning.

The owners, including Chef Andres, were so kind and outgoing. The facility was beautiful and well-maintained! We were able to leave our luggage before and after check out while we continue to bike and enjoy the island. Game changer.
The facility was also close enough to bike from the ferry. With a few options to walk for dinner. Definitely want to go back in the future!

First of all, there was nothing I did not like it was all beautiful. The view from the balconies were beautiful great sunset view. The Gardens were beautiful as well. I recommend anyone who is looking for a couple of days off vacation time look into this place.

Overall it was a nice serene place to stay. The room was clean and well appointed. The only downside is that I only stayed one night. I enjoyed my included breakfast while sitting in an Adirondack chair overlooking the bay. They also have Payne's Donuts right there so no having to hike down the road and wait in line.

Payne’s is beautiful, the staff is so welcoming, the breakfast was amazing and the coffee was delicious! I sat out on the deck morning and night looking out over the harbor. It is centrally located and an easy walk to downtown. I have found my Block Island home!

Carmen and the Inn staff were so warm and inviting, the building design provided lovely private space for family time inside and outside on the west-facing deck and lawn with ample chairs. The sunset over Great Salt Pond was beautiful. This is our new favorite location on Block Island - a must-stay for future visits!

Excellent. We’ll be coming back.
One of, if not the, cleanest inns I’ve ever stayed in. Very nice staff. The room was perfect for the two of us. Having beach towels and chairs available to us was a nice bonus. Breakfast was standard, though if I had to nitpick I wish they had some fresh fruit. The donuts were great.
