Whitegate Cottage will not be renting in 2025. Thank you to our past guests. | Cottage in Block Island

Welcome to our cottage!
*If requesting to book, please let us know who's in your party and what brings you to Block Island.
*The Cottage shares a property with the main house, but there is plenty of privacy
**We are located at the end of a somewhat bumpy dirt road- please note for your vehicle!
On the south end of Block Island, natural quiet prevails. Off of the main road and away from the crowds of summer sits Whitegate Cottage. Sited on the edge of a green meadow, it is built in the old Block Island style facing south.
The cottage has 2 stories with the bedroom upstairs (*Note: stairs are steep and might not be suitable for young children and elderly folks) and the living area / full bathroom with a stall shower downstairs. There is a south facing front deck with table, chairs and umbrella- perfect for a sunny breakfast or evening cocktails.
It is private, quiet and special.
On the main floor, there is a kitchenette with sink, refrigerator, microwave, blender, toaster, coffeemaker, hot plate (no stove range) and all needed kitchen implements utensils for grilling, cooking, and eating. There is a gas grill outside on the deck.
The living / dining area on main floor is comfortable, casual and airy. Upstairs with windows on all 4 sides, the sea-breeze at night will keep you cool.
A outdoor hot / cold shower is in the back of the house -perfect for washing off after the beach or the best morning shower possible on a sunny day. There is also a stall shower in the downstairs bathroom.
The cottage shares a property with the main house and a micro vineyard (WHITEGATE VINEYARDS) that formerly produced wine, but is now mostly for the birds and wildlife. Our property is chemical free we use no pesticides, sprays or inorganic nutrients of any kind.
Whitegate Cottage is at the southern end of the island where the spectacular cliffs on the coastline provide unsurpassed views of the Atlantic and the island interior. You can walk to Vail Beach, Black Rock Beach and Rodman's Hollow. We enjoy the peace and quiet this far out from town. At night, you will hear the ocean, the breeze, and occasionally, the owl that lives in our meadow.
Our town, with plenty of restaurants, bars, shops, and beautiful harbor where the ferry arrives, are about 3 miles away. Note this is NOT walking distance. There are plenty of taxis if you fancy a night out and don't want to drive/bike.
Additionally, Crescent Beach, State Beach, Scotch Beach, and Mansion Beach (the biggest and most popular swimming beaches- white sand, no rocks) are about 3 miles away as well. We are within walking distance to Vail Beach and Black Rock Beach, which are beautiful, rocky, and require a jaunt down a cliff path to get there. It is absolutely worth it- you will find unsurpassed beauty.
The COTTAGE:
Upstairs : Stairs (*steep: see photos!) lead to a single bedroom with 3 beds (2 twin and one full) with a desk and sitting area.
There are ocean views from upstairs, and at night you will hear the surf crashing on the cliffs nearby. The walls and floors are all natural wood in keeping with the island look and feel.
The cottage has its own parking area separate from the main house. There is a front and back lawn, as well as a shady garden path to enjoy.
Block Island is a country setting. There is no traffic light or chain stores. There is one gas station, one bank and two food markets. But there is a brilliant night sky, green island meadows, golden hay fields and the blue Atlantic surrounding your world.
WE RENT BY THE WEEK SATURDAY TO SATURDAY. If you are interested in renting, we advise having a car as we are not within walking distance to town or the more popular swimming beaches. Bike is possible if you like to keep it simple. If you'd like to bring your car, book a ferry reservation at once, but be flexible on times and even days. It's Block Island...nothing is easy but its all worth it.

**It is also possible to rent a car on island, easily, right where you step off the boat.
*We allow one well behaved dog (*there is a $100 pet fee)
*We provide comforters with a clean duvet cover, dishtowels, paper towels, bath mats, and toilet paper. Please bring your own sheets and towels for your stay.
PLEASE NOTE: There is now an 8% tax on rentals in Rhode Island as well as a 1% Block Island tax.
