We went in October Columbus Day, pretty much the last weekend before most restaurants close for the season. We stayed in a studio, it was nice and clean, had a complete kitchen. Pool was open and heated, we enjoyed the indoor pool table. Only downside is this is a timeshare, we just rented for the weekend, we not owners. The front desk is only staffed during normal business hours. We took a late ferry, so check-in and getting keys was complicated.

We visited the cabin for two nights starting on June 7th, 2019. We had tickets for a concert at…read moreFoxwoods so the short commute to the casino was great for us. The drive to the casino is 10 minutes or less. We really could not have been any happier with the whole experience. My girlfriend and I brought our two dogs down to the house and we were instantly amazed at the view from both the top and lower decks. Having the ability to have all of us use the inside-outside space and really feel as if we were part of nature for the entire trip was amazing for us. We got lucky with the weather and the views of the lake were absolutely outstanding. Having decks on both the upstairs area off the kitchen as well as downstairs right on the water was absolutely perfect for us. Our dogs could kind of run around a little bit and really enjoy being outside. Having the ability to jump right off the dock into the water and have your own private little swimming area was fantastic. We live near the city, so we really were amazed at how quiet the lake was all day long. My understanding of the lake is they do not allow motorboats so it was unbelievably quiet all day long. It was super peaceful and relaxing. Having the ability to wake up to a clear sky and immediately open French doors to the upper deck so we could have breakfast outdoors was priceless. My dogs loved being able to swim and lounge around in the sun. Molly gave us some great recommendations of hiking spots we could take our dogs. One was a mountain and another was a path along a beach. They were so nice and the views were outstanding. Everything we needed for our trip was already conveniently at the house. They have two grills, one on the top porch and one on the bottom porch, which was awesome for me as I love to grill. They provided us with kayaks, a canoe, and fishing rods. We took a great ride in the kayaks along the water. There is another review on Yelp of the property that is a little bit dramatic, IMO. The house is on a road right on the water. Some of the properties in the area are run down but I'm unsure how that is this property owners fault. Thisnhouse is a nice little cabin and is well maintained. There IS shrubbery outside the house but it's a cabin on the water.....the whole point is you want to be close to nature. And there ARE spiders and mosquitos outside the property....thats part of nature. The house was not musty at all, nor were the carpets dirty. I really couldnt have been happier with this experience. I would very enthusiastically recommend this property!!!!!

Like others, we had. very disappointing experience with Phillips Real Estate…read more The pros: When we complained about the absolutely unacceptable rental we were put in, they moved us to another, better rental. In person, the realtors were friendly. The cons: We looked at photos of dozens of rentals online. We were looking for a small rental to sleep 2 that would accommodate our small dog. After multiple conversations with people at Phillips, we decided to rent Mohegan Cottage. When we arrived, what we found was a lovely view and a "cottage" that was mostly clean but otherwise really unsuitable for anyone other than college students. There were literally holes in the walls, bare outlets, cords ripped out of walls, broken fixtures, and rust everywhere. The "master bedroom" was separated from the main living space by a folding door with no wall. The screen door out to the deck had rips with giant pieces of duct tape over them. The mattress was hard as a rock. The insides of the cabinets were sticky with grime. (See attached photos) We called immediately and were told, "Yes, it's rustic." The next morning, we called and said it was really unacceptable. They offered to find us another place but said that any place that accepted dogs was going to be in this condition (not true), that any place at that price with a water view would be in that condition (also not true - we checked other realtors' sites), and that the owners knew it was really bad and weren't making repairs because they were going to be tearing it down in a few months. They then showed us another house. This one was nicely furnished and comfortable. It did not have a view, but that was OK. They told us there was a farm with chickens on one side and construction on the other. When I asked if other renters had complained about any noise, they wouldn't give me a direct answer. We decided to move to the new house because the first one wasn't livable. However, we soon found that at least three roosters crowed every morning starting at 4:00 a.m. The farm also seemed to have an ongoing altercation, with people yelling at and threatening each other. Again, the Phillips people seemed surprised, and again, we found information online that described at least the altercation issue in detail. Overall, we had a very nice vacation, although we didn't get enough sleep! But the experience with Phillips was concerning, mostly because they were so non-forthcoming with accurate information about the rentals.

This has to be the worst rental experience in our 30 years of vacationing on Block Island. The…read morehouse was a wreck, dirty, unusable and broken furniture, the front of the refrigerator is literally rusting off, dishes in the dishwasher, laundry in the dryer and left over food all over the kitchen. The layers of dust were so thick, I actually took pictures of them. And there was a $160 "cleaning" fee with the rental. When I called to discuss, I was told that there were pictures on the website. The only saving grace was that it was a short stay this time. Will avoid at all cost. If anyone wants pictures, I will be happy to send.

Easy to sit for hours in the sunroom or on the rooftop deck, take in the sun and watch the birds and boat activity on the Mystic River. It's hard to find rentals with access to a deep water dock. And this dock is perfect. My husband went out fishing on his boat nearly every day. And when he came home with flounder, we cooked up a great meal in the fully equipped gourmet kitchen. Plenty of restaurants close by if you don't feel like cooking though. Glori and Chuck are also wonderful hosts and very thoughtful and responsive. Can't say enough good things about them.
