The Avonlea (sister in to the Blue Dory) was the only spot with a vacancy on the island when we arrived from the ferry on New Year's Eve, having made no reservations. Incredible that we lucked into the best room on the whole island, in the most welcoming inn. Michelle, the innkeeper, made us feel at home even before we... More

We stayed at Avelonea owned by the Blue Dory Inn. It was beautiful in every way. Our room had a great view of the ocean. The Inn keeper was warm and welcoming. We checked in several hours early. We found a great place to eat lunch (Poor Mans Pub) and came back just in time to settle in. The Inn... More

This was our first visit to Block Island. From the moment we arrived at Avonlea in the pouring rain, on bikes, and Christy offered to dry our clothes in the dryer, we knew we had made the right decision to stay at Avonlea. Our room was quaint, homey and tastefully decorated. The breakfasts were delicious, and in the evening ,cookies,... More

Perfect! You couldn't ask for a better location. Waking up to see the sunrise, or watching the ferry go into and out of the harbor without having to get out of bed... The rooms were very clean and Christy was a wonderful hostess. We enjoyed yummy breakfasts, wine and cheese in the afternoon and her wonderful cookies. She made us... More

I have stayed in Avonlea many times and will again! I so enjoy the view that I fall asleep too and the scene that I wake up too! The ocean sounds lull me to sleep. Christy is a wonderful hostess and now has become a wonderful and sweet friend. See you soon More
