Block Island is truly a little slice of heaven,and The Avonlea is the perfect setting. Our visit could not have been more perfect. Our room, the Sapphire, had gorgeous views. We enjoyed going to sleep and awakening to the sounds of the waves,, and watching the sunrise from our window was breathtaking. Christy was wonderful....such delicious breakfasts and "happy hour"...

We stayed in one of the cottages; none of the property is directly on the beach; the beach is very close and you can hear the waves but you can't see it. The accommodations were very sparse; only one tv worked and it was extremely tiny with a non-functioning remote and no movies or premium cable. Freezer didnt work. Can't... More

Just got back from a two night "girls get-a-way" and could not be more pleased. I have made many day trips to the island but this was my first stay.

She even surprised my wife who was celebrating her birthday, with champagne splits Whether you... More

We planned a 5 day stay in this beautiful place but were cut short by Irene! Too bad- this place is wonderful! Christy is so helpful and welcoming. We only were able to stay 2 and a half days. We stayed in the moonstone which is the third floor with windows overlooking the water- we slept with the windows open... More

Avonlea, Jewel of the Sea is very aptly named. The location is perfect. The views are second to none, as far as I'm concerned and the proximity to town is ideal because it's not right in the thick of traffic, but it's close enough to be convenient to the ferry, the (Wednesday) farmer's market, shopping, eating, etc. My husband and...

So sweet are the people and the house itself is filled with charm. We didn't want to leave. More
