My husband and I stayed at Avonlea for our honeymoon in June. The place was spotless and the setting is beautiful - right on the beach and close to town (a little too close, actually - the bar next door gets a little rowdy at night). The hostess, Patty, was fantastic - she really made us feel welcome. For the... more

This B&B is located on a bluff, steps from Cresent Beach. Has about 10 guest rooms, remodeled in 2007. Eco-friendly bamboo flooring on main level, very homey, basic, clean and comfortable. Not musty or overly antiqued. Has a/c!.... very uncommon on BI, although did not need to use it during our stay. Exceptional ocean view while sitting on the veranda... more

Avonlea is just steps from the beach and you can hear the waves on the shore all day long. Our room had a view of the ocean from three windows. It was clean and inviting upon check-in with plenty of towels and small amenities in the Jacuzzi bathroom. Patty's breakfasts were phenomenal! By 7:15 or so she had hot coffee,... more

Close to the town but set on the beach, perfect location. The Avonlea is very laid back and relaxing, out of season we were the only guests for 1 of the nights we stayed. Rooms are nice, would have liked white towels (I am always suspicious of coloured ones) although the beds creek terrifically just when you get in and... more

This was our first trip to Block Island and we had a relaxing visit. The Avonlea is the best accommodation we've found to date and the service was excellent. The inn is right on the beach and close to everything in Old Harbor. The innkeeper serves an excellent breakfast every morning with several hot dishes as well as fresh fruit... more

My husband and I stayed at the Avonlea in September. What a beautiful place to stay. Its nestled up against the ocean floor. The sunsets are spectacular the sky is filled with magical colors that coat the skyline. We woke up to breath taking views of the sunrise and by the scent of fresh brewed coffee and a warm comforting... more

The Avonlea is a 'One of a kind' experience!! Literally, right on the beach! The views from the rooms and the deck are nothing less then spectacular! I have stayed in many Inns on Block Island and there is not another property on the island in such an exceptional location. The expansive beach is right out the front door and... more

We stayed at the Avonlea for our anniversary and were less than pleased with the atmosphere inside the inn. The outside porch had a great view, but if you are looking for romance this is not the place. The innkeeper is too involved with the guest space, and there are too many people around at once to actually get much... more

My husband and I stayed here for the first time recently and were blown away. The location of the Avonlea is perfect. It is right next to town (Old Harbor) and completely walkable to everything. It is also oceanfront, with a gorgeous view. We woke up each morning to a wonderful freshly made breakfast and ate on the porch overlooking... more
