"A friend and I stayed for a week at The Victorian Inns by the Sea, Avonlea and it was wonderful. The entire house is carefully appointed and our room was very attractive, comfortable and cozy. But it was the Innkeeper, Crystal, who really made the stay excellent. Although we always had our privacy, Crytal always seemed available to give us advise about places to dine along with helpful info about Block Island overall. And, I must say that Crystal prepares the most delicious breakfast and her company at always delightful ! Our well-appointed accommodations, the loveliness of the house, our wonderful breakfasts, PLUS the welcoming ambience and the care that Crystal provided for us really made our stay so fine !
