If you like a cozy, clean, quaint room, with a sparkling bathroom, a short walk to a beach for a stroll (with or without your canine), a porch with comfy chairs to read a good book with island breezes lightly blowing, then this is the place for you! Oh, and there is a hearty breakfast waiting for you each morning,... More

We spent the night at the Island Home Inn on Block Island the weekend of September 22nd. The day started off gloomy as we left Point Judith but as soon as we got to the Island the clouds cleared and it turned in to a fantastic day. We cycled around the island and ended up at Ballards for some sunset... More

Headed to the Block for a weekend getaway, we usually stay in Old harbor when visiting, but found the Island home had an opening so figured we would try it out. Saw some of the reviews and was a little nervous due to past issues but everyone has tough times in life and you move forward the best you can.... More

The Chinese proverb says, “One (over 20 in this album) picture is worth ten thousand words.” The Island Home Inn has been a part of our lives since our wedding guests stayed 7 years ago. Since then we have been back to celebrate many of our anniversaries, this last one being the most special because it included our 4 year... More

I stayed at the Inn last month and can't being to tell you how wonderful it still is. There have been a lot of changes and many upgrades. David and Allie are terrific hosts and attended to our every need. Our room was immaculately clean and the bathroom was sparkling. The beds were very comfy and linens were very fresh... More

My two children and I stayed in the Sunflower Suite August 7&8. The main room's wallpapered walls were painted over as high as one could reach without using a ladder. The linens were thin and polyester. The room had only two towels and was booked for three people. The grounds were badly overgrown. The breakfasts were completely uninspired: cold bagels... More

My husband and I just returned from our Block Island vacation at The Island Home and already want to go back! The personable innkeeper, Dave Chieffo goes out of his way to think of everything possible to make your vacation absolutely perfect; the accommodations were lovely, breakfast was wonderful and healthy and there is wine and cheese at 5:00 on...

I stayed at the Island Inn last year and totally loved it! See my review from 2011. To counter some of the negative reviews the Island Home has had recently, when I stopped in to see the owner Dave in June, he showed me the beautiful carpets and wallpaper he was using in renovations and the detailed paper and wooden...

By not knowing whether the Island Home will be open or closed does not help the visitors that have booked reservations and are expecting to come to the island and have a place to stay. If you have booked a reservation and are trying to get a return call to confirm your reservation you probably will not get it. This... More

The courtyard has nice wrought iron patio tables And a grill to eat in. The location is away from town a bit. Def need... More
