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 !

We stayed at the Blue Dory to celebrate a friends birthday. We took the ferry from Rhode Island , it took about 1 hour. It was a very wonderful stay. The inn is situated only two blocks from the harbor where the ferry drops you off. You can walk to pretty much everything in town. We went in early November, the weather was still lovely, but some of the stores and restaurants were closed for the season. The innkeeper was lovely and very interesting to talk to.. She provided a wonderful wine , cheese and hot cookies hour in the early evening. The Blue Dory sits right on the beach so we were able to go out back , bring our our champagne and snacks and set up a lovely sunset toast to my friend for her birthday.The rooms were lovely and comfortable. The breakfast is served in the basement of the inn in a small cafe type setting. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Blue Dory and Block Island. A very special place to see.
