Block Island - Large Home (Sleeps 20-22)

The talk of bed bugs it not true I have been staying at summer hill for over a decade with my family and I think the people who wrote the bed bug story were required to bring their own sheets at that time. Gail and Mike are the best and so is the house. We have grandchildren who are now turning 13 and we have never seen bed bugs or had any issue with the beautiful Summer Hill it is our home away from home. Don't believe everything you read !!! summer hill is a gem !! perfect every year. Really can't say enough for the house and it's hosts

Our family and friends traveled to BI for a surprise 30th birthday party. SummerHill was the perfect location for our large get together. The house comfortably slept all 23 of us and the vast kitchen made preparing meals, storage and clean up a breeze. The best part for us was the large lawn. This is where most of our time was spent barbecuing, playing lawn games and lounging in the many chairs that were provided. I recommend this property without hesitation.

Mike and Gail have a very special place here! It has everything you could want in a vacation home...completely accessorized kitchen, walkability to town and the beach, comfortable beds, large yard with outdoor games and wicker seating for a crowd, numerous beach chairs and several interior rooms to spread out and socialize. I have made my reservation for next September and looking very forward to it!

I visited with family who had rented this house for a wedding.. As a guest for one of the nights, I was very disgusted to be awoken at 1am hearing that my bed needed to be checked for bedbugs.... Some were found in the upstairs rooms and once the hunt to secure the remaining bedrooms was on, we didn't like what we found!!. Two rooms (their beds) were covered in body hair. Another had a clump of hair in the sheets, (as if the hair in the drain at the bottom of the shower had been placed in the bed...). A wall in another room was smeared with some sort of nasal excrement. To top it off, our laughter at the situation was interrupted by a live black beetle scurrying down the hallway. I hear that the followin day yielded more bugs........ Needless to say - NOT a good nights sleep or a good experience. If you want to stay somewhere clean on Block Island, you might want to go somewhere else. Or just sleep outside.

Summer Hill is a beautiful Block Island home on a lovely private piece of property located close to town. The beach, shops, restaurants and nature paths are all just a short walk from the home. All the rooms are nicely decorated, comfortable and clean. Views of the Island from the upper floors are magnificent. The country kitchen is fabulous for family meals and gatherings. There are plenty of kitchen supplies, two refrigerators, dishwasher and a large table that seats 12 people. We had 20 people staying at the house and never felt cramped. We were very blessed to have our daughter's wedding and reception on the grounds at Summer Hill. From the moment we saw the property we knew it would be perfect. The owners were so gracious and welcoming to our entire family and friends. The grounds were nicely landscaped and they went out of their way to make sure everything would be perfect for the big day. And even thought Hurricane Irene tried to crash our wedding party we were able to have a beautiful wedding that we will all remember for the rest of our lives. Thank you Gail and Mike for the opportunity to spend an entire week at Summer Hill and celebrate our daughter's wedding in such an amazing place.
