Block Island being a small island, parking for personal vehicles can be quite difficult. During the busy months of the summer, parking is limited. We do not allow employees to park at the restaurant due to our limited amount of space for customers. Both housing locations are within walking distance of the restaurant. One location is right above the restaurant with a short walk down the stairs. The other location is about a one-mile walk. Bikes are encouraged as everything is reachable with a short bike ride.
Transportation from the airport and ferry can be discussed but is not always provided. We are happy to offer advice on the best location to fly into and how to get to the ferry. Can arrange for pick up once on the island. There are also taxis on the island for public transportation.
Block Island is an amazing place to spend your summer! There are endless walking trails with breathtaking views of the ocean. Miles of beach to sunbathe and take cooling dips in the ocean. At night the island provides a spectacular view of the stars with chances to catch meteor showers! Block Island is a community-driven island and there are markets, small festivals, and activities available to all.
