At the inn, make yourself at home outside on the lawn and porches. Find a quiet spot alone by a garden, or enjoy a glass of wine in a porch rocker among friends. We have picnic tables and cozy spots to relax in the sun or shade; and plenty of space for children to play safely. Croquet, anyone? How about a friendly game of bocce? Enjoy the gardens and cascading roses, lounge in a hammock, or watch the sun set over the hills and the water. The Island Home is an ideal location for family reunions or group getaways; plan a barbecue on the patio or have us cater your party.

We can arrange for a fishing charter or point you toward some great surfcasting areas if you'd like to fish the local hot spots. Twin Maples Bait & Tackle is just down the road, and at the end of your day, you can grill your catch (or your fresh local lobsters) back here at the inn. Our resident fisherman is always willing to share local knowledge about the best times and locations to fish, to help you land that catch of a lifetime.  You can also book a charter with Capt. Dave through the inn. Here's a little-known secret for fresh-water enthusiasts: Block Island's 365 ponds offer satisfying action for the seasoned angler and young child alike!
