Block Island Honeymoon

The Atlantic Inn, Spring House Hotel, Old Town Inn, Sullivan House, and Hygeia House would all fit the ';isolation'; criterion better. Each have their own Web sites. Also check out the Block Island Chamber of Commerce%26#39;s site for more extensive inn/B %26amp; B listings. Some of the B %26amp; B%26#39;s on the island only have one or two guest rooms, which in and of itself is on the ';romantic'; side.

Although it is close by the Old Harbor (';downtown';) area, the 1661 Inn has always won major points for being cozy and intimate. The exterior isn%26#39;t all that impressive, but from what I hear the rooms are luxurious and have Jacuzzis. Plus, a lot of non-guests are drawn to the champagne brunches on Sundays.

Any place you find with an address on Dodge St or Water St is going to be right in the heart of town, which it sounds like you%26#39;d just as soon not have as your surroundings.

The Sheffield House is a place just a short walk out of town. If you like the convenience of being close to town but want a quiet, nice place to stay-that%26#39;s where you want to go. The breakfast was amazing and we really enjoyed our stay there. We will definately go back next year. It was like staying on Block island at a friends house-really good!

We just came back from a wonderful family wedding there and everyone stayed at the 1661 Inn. The wedding was there, too. They have a lovely honeymoon suite, overlooking the ocean (and with a Jacuzzi), and split-level, more elaborate suites with fireplaces and Jacuzzis. You can walk to town or rent bikes, which is really fun. Just watch out for the crazy tourist drivers, especially the ones in SUVs (too huge for the narrow streets) and the moped drivers (inexperienced).

The 1661 also includes a full, very satisfying breakfast each morning, and ';nibbles'; from 4-6 pm, which includes wine and snacks. They also always have coffee and tea available in the lobby.

I would actually rent a cottage for your stay. I do it every summer and it%26#39;s very peaceful and secluded and always much nicer than any hotel. You have to book relatively soon though. You can get some really nice homes for a week or two and then just go to the town grocery store and stock up some lunch stuff. You%26#39;ll end up eating out for dinner anyway. Renting a house is truly the best way to go and usually ends up cheaper than staying at a hotel/B%26amp;B. Go to the BLock ISland Chamber of Commerce website and under Professional Services you%26#39;ll see a bunch of real estate agents. I used Ballard Hall Real Estate this summer -- they tend to have the best selection. Ask for Rosemary and tell her that Suzanne Filippi recommended them. I%26#39;d also plan on bringing a car over (preferably something fun like a jeep wrangler -- haha). Driving around and discovering all the beautiful dirt roads on the island is one of my favorite things to do. Drive down Corn Neck Road and you%26#39;ll be blown away by the beauty of the island as you come to the lighthouse. Have a wonderful honeymoon!!
