First of all, there was nothing I did not like it was all beautiful. The view from the balconies were beautiful great sunset view. The Gardens were beautiful as well. I recommend anyone who is looking for a couple of days off vacation time look into this place.

Overall it was a nice serene place to stay. The room was clean and well appointed. The only downside is that I only stayed one night. I enjoyed my included breakfast while sitting in an Adirondack chair overlooking the bay. They also have Payne's Donuts right there so no having to hike down the road and wait in line.

Payne’s is beautiful, the staff is so welcoming, the breakfast was amazing and the coffee was delicious! I sat out on the deck morning and night looking out over the harbor. It is centrally located and an easy walk to downtown. I have found my Block Island home!

Carmen and the Inn staff were so warm and inviting, the building design provided lovely private space for family time inside and outside on the west-facing deck and lawn with ample chairs. The sunset over Great Salt Pond was beautiful. This is our new favorite location on Block Island - a must-stay for future visits!

Excellent. We’ll be coming back.
One of, if not the, cleanest inns I’ve ever stayed in. Very nice staff. The room was perfect for the two of us. Having beach towels and chairs available to us was a nice bonus. Breakfast was standard, though if I had to nitpick I wish they had some fresh fruit. The donuts were great.

We loved our stay at the Payne Harbor Inn. Our room was lovely, nice view of the harbor and boats not far away. The Inn is walkable to a few good places to eat and a very short driving or biking distance to the heart of town. The inn itself is very welcoming, with large porches on the front and back. Breakfast was tasty, with fresh muffins and Payne donuts.

Hosts are amazing- great communication- very welcoming. Had a great time. We came at the end of the season so they were super helpful in direction to what was open vs closed in the island. The sunset view could not be beat
