We headed up to the second floor where we found a small lounge area with hints of teal and pink next to our bedroom door.
The bicycles are equipped with baskets for toting lunch, swimsuits, sunscreens, towels, and more. They are available for rent: $30 for 24 hours and $20 for a 12 hours. In the spirit of sustainability and staying active, bikes were our primary mode of transportation during our 3 days on Block Island. Corey, the General Manager of Sea Breeze Block Island, rents bicycles only available for guests. In case of rain, the room is stocked with rainy day items a selection of books, games, umbrellas, and puzzles. On the first floor of the cottage is a common area with book shelves, chairs, and a small kitchenette, perfect to escape the heat. Outside of the ground floor is a water dispenser that is constantly filled with chilled fresh lemon water and complimentary beach towels for guests. Today, the historical roots of Sea Breeze’s well-preserved cottages come alive in the quaint island furnishings carefully placed in the private and public areas, the well-kept garden, and warm service of the staff. Needless to say, they have local intel and experience. The one time we decided to go rogue and visit a place they didn’t recommend, we ended up not being very impressed with our meal. TIP: Listen to Corey and the Sea Breeze Block Island’s recommendations! We stopped by a number of places they recommended and were highly impressed every single time. It’s easy to imagine what living on Block Island in the 1930s was like at the Sea Breeze inn. The island was a quiet paradise for fisherman and farmers for a large part of its history until the late 19th-century. Staying at this small Block Island Bed and Breakfast was like a crash course in the island’s history. The Sea Breeze was an old island boarding house for the local fishing community. The choices for where to stay in Block Island fall into 2 basic categories: newer, bigger hotels or intimate inns and bed and breakfasts that have been on Block Island for 100 years or more. A small red brick driveway brings you to 4 traditional New England-style cottages with 10 rooms. Sea Breeze Block Island Bed and Breakfast is located on the corner of a winding road just steps from Old Harbor in New Shoreham. 2019 marked the properties 36th year in business! They are still maintaining the properties Block Island charm and continue to be successful at it. Andrea’s family fixed up the buildings, planted the garden, built the red-brick path, and opened the Sea Breeze Bed and Breakfast in 1983.
Her mother was an artist and established The Sea Breeze Gallery on the premise. The property was bought and taken over in the 70s by Andrea and her family. Today Seabreeze is owned by Andrea Moynier.
It’s received a lot of help in recent years. The property hasn’t maintained it’s authentic Block Island charm all on it’s own.
