In January 2012 we booked a one night stay at the Island Home Inn for the night of May 1. They required payment in full, rather than just a deposit. I paid with a credit card, and later received email confirmation from the inn. My credit card was charged on January 19. On April 25 I sent an email to... More

I agree with the other review. The owner is refusing to respond to my repeated requests by E-mail and phone to return my refund for July 2012 accomodation. He has $600.00 of mine and $600.00 of our friends. Do your homework and google the owners name (found on the Inn's website) and you will get lots of info on the... More

Not saying there’s anything wrong with any of the positive reviews here, Block Island is a great place and the Island Home seems to be a hospitable enough B&B. But, if you think you might want to change your plans after you put down a deposit to reserve your room, take a look at some of the more negative reviews,... More

Stayed there in 2010. It was recomended by friends. This is not a review of the place. I spend all my time at the beaches or bars - I could sleep in a tent. Do i have better things to do than chase after them and write reviews? Yes. Made the mistake of leaving a deposit. I was hoping to... More

I knew Block Island itself was the type of vacation I needed, however I was taken back by the atmosphere of the Island home Inn. It has that comfortable and familiar feel like your own home and truly lives up to it's name. I will keep coming back and back again and again!!

I arrived on Block Island to film a feature on the island and fishing with my boss. I knew hardly anything outside of my orders to pack for a week, and that I would be catching some of the biggest striped bass I'd ever seen. The latter set my only expectations for the trip; I invested all my trust in... More

We stayed in the Sundrop room. It was a tight squeeze with four people, but it worked out fine. Our two children slept on an old pullout couch. We slept on a very comfortable queen sized bed. We had a private balcony that had a table and chairs and a partial view of New Harbor. In the indoor hallway we... More

My husband and I celebrated our 10th anniversary weekend at the Island Home and couldn't have been more satisfied. Our room was cozy with a lovely private deck, bed was comfortable, the breakfast provided was substantial and delicious, and our hostess was friendly and accommodating. The Island Home is off the beaten path, but restaurants and a small grocery store... More

My family including, our Lab Poohbear, have had the pleasure of staying with Dave, Dina and Ally for years and each time the experience is fantastic. To top it off, Dave who is an experienced Captain, takes the time to make a run to wet a line or 2. The location is quiet yet a close walk to everything. Dina's... More
