Block Island Beach House
At Block Island Beach House, you’ll experience a new way to vacation. Its low-key charm is the spot you’d want to be at to create new, lifelong memories. The Surf & The Gables Buildings The Surf at Block Island Beach House offers the only beachfront hotel rooms—some with private balconies—on the island.
(This is where we will be staying! - It’s our favorite)
-
National Hotel
Block Island's Flagship Victorian Hotel located in the heart of downtown Block Island, the National Hotel features 46 rooms all with air conditioning, private baths, and televisions. The location on Block Island is ideal; directly across the street from the ferry landing and within walking distance to most of the shops, restaurants, and beaches.
-
1661 Inn
Taking in the spectacular ocean view Atlantic Ocean, one can’t help but feel that this is what vacation should be. The property features twenty-four rooms in four buildings: The 1661 Inn, Mitchell Cottage, Guest House and Nicholas Ball Cottage. Most of the rooms on property are our premium rooms and feature combinations of ocean views, spa tubs and fireplaces.
Want More Options?
Block Island has Inns, Hotels, Cottage Rentals and more - and details on all the available options are at the site at the button below.
We just suggest to stay somewhere close to the ferry if you are coming without a car. We have only brought a car with us once but have been to the island countless times - it’s great both ways!
As you might have already discovered - Block Island is not home to budget accommodation & September is off season but still some of the best New England weather of the year. If you see something that is too good to be true - its usually located off island. The island is small and has a very short tourism season - and as you’ll find out its a desirable place to be!
If your looking for an alternative to staying on island - you can stay in Point Judith, RI and take the ferry each day! But please keep in mind that the ferry does not run super late so you will need to leave the island at a reasonable time.
How to get to Block Island.

Most accommodations are within a 5 minute walk from the ferry port with a few locations being a bit of a distance. (Just check with your booking!)
