Cottage was adorable and just as advertised. Great location and steps to Baby Beach. The views were lovely. Host was super responsive and even accommodated us when the ferries were canceled due to TV r hurricane. A great little gem downtown!
A Perfect Stay at the Waverly Suite #1 on Block Island! We absolutely loved our stay at the Waverly Suite #1. From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless—the suite was immaculate, and the attention to cleanliness was top-notch. The furniture was beautifully maintained and super comfortable, but the real MVP was the king bed. It was super comfortable! The suite had every amenity we could ask for, including flawless WiFi (which, let’s be honest, is a rare gem on an island). Whether it was streaming, working remotely, or just scrolling in peace, the connection never skipped a beat. One of our favorite parts of the Waverly was sitting out on the porch with a beverage in hand and watching the ebb and flow of town life. It’s like front-row seats to Block Island’s charming daily rhythm. Plus, having the beach literally in our backyard—with super easy access—was unbeatable. You can go from porch to ocean in minutes. Location-wise, the Waverly is the definition of convenience. Everything in town is just a short stroll away—shops, restaurants, you name it. You really don’t need a car if you’re staying here. Our host was fantastic and checked in via text to make sure we had everything we needed. We can’t recommend the Waverly Suite #1 highly enough. If you’re heading to Block Island and want the perfect combination of comfort, location, and laid-back island vibes, this is the place to stay.

Great place
The apartment was great. Holly was responsive to anything we needed. The location was perfect for us since we did not bring our car over, close to everything. Great stay for a quick trip.
