Block Island Rentals: Houses, Hotels, Inns, B&B's, Marinas
Find the Best Block Island Rentals for your family. Houses, Beach houses, Bed and Breakfast, Rustic Inns or Historic Hotels? If you are looking for a Beach House to rent here's a list of Real Estate Agents. Each of the island's 8 Real Estate Agencies have their own rental listings, you can view Block Island Rental Houses on their websites to get ideas. To find Block Island House Rentals to accommodate your whole family, I recommend any of the agencies, they all work side by side referring clients to one another. The agents are good at matching renters to houses and at guiding home owners to keep their houses user friendly. Houses range from rustic to quite lavish, on the beach to off the beaten path. Expect to send your deposit in early, January is good, then make your car reservation right away.
If you like to have everything worked out ahead of time, especially if you are coordinating the rental for your whole family, ask ahead and try to work it out.**It's never a bad idea to see as many photos as possible or better yet, take a day trip out to tour some houses. Basically, know what you want. Have a list of your Must Have's and a list of Dealbreakers and see if you can find yourself the perfect house! Realtors are strict about how many people can stay in a house. It goes by the square footage of living space and the size of the septic system. It is important not to abuse this because Block Island's eco-system is quite fragile, the septic systems and water supply are usually overtaxed in summer months.
Houses are available through Realtors. There are a growing number of Block Island home owners renting their homes privately. As a rule, these houses tend to be very well maintained. Click on the House below to see an example
Many houses that rent privately advertise on the big Vacation Rental Websites such as VRBO.com or Cyberrentals.comYou may decide to call one of the hotels. Some hotels & Inns, such as the Harborside or the Blue Dory Inn, for example, have reservation offices that also handle small cottages and apartments. Click on the link below for more info 
Block Island Rentals: Hotels, Inns & More Block Island's Old Harbor is where the town docks are. You will find charter boats, rentals and commercial fishing boats here. I don't recommend staying here with a whole family because the facilities are in disrepair. Part of this dock space belongs to Ballard's Inn which has their own accommodations. More family friendly Marinas are located in Block Island's New Harbor. Payne's Dock or The Boat Basin have better facilities than the Town docks and Champlin's Marina, good facilities and a haven for families. Here's a Good Link to Marinas on Block Island **Alternative to Block Island Rentals and another option for boaters, especially if the marinas are full, is to anchor free in the great salt pond or in Old Harbor off the beach. There's a free launch in the great salt pond that brings boaters to Champlin's Marina. There is also free pumpout service.
