Stayed at Payne’s Harbor View Inn over Labor Day weekend! The staff was friendly and attentive. There is a place to leave luggage if need be until check in time. They offer complimentary beach chairs and towels for their guests. The inn itself was so charming, cozy and inviting. The location is convenient and the views breath taking. There is a common area living room for guests to gather in and relax. Each guest room has its own unique decor and charm, exactly how an inn should be. Lots of attention to detail. There’s front porch sitting and back deck and lawn seats to just sit back, relax and for a simple moment in time, not have a care in the world. The dining/breakfast room was a fabulous way to start our days on the Block. The dining room is bright and airy with the island breeze flowing through the wide open French doors that lead to the back deck where you can sit and take in the views of the boats in the harbor. They offer a complimentary breakfast consisting of coffee/tea, juices, mimosas, bloodymarys, bagels, toast selection, eggs, yogurt with fresh fruits and granola AND the most delicious freshly made warm donuts from Payne’s donuts. Yum! I highly recommend a stay here. You will...
Read moreMy wife and I visited Block Island for a weekend wedding. The venue hotel was booked so after researching options, we decided on Payne's Harbor View Inn and so thankful we did ! It was perfect in every way ! The Inn itself has the charm of a historic Inn along with all the modern conveniences. The room had a wonderful view and was very comfortable as were the parlors for simply enjoying a game with friends or sitting for an early morning read. The dining area was nicely designed for great views, while enjoying the wonderful breakfasts prepared by Andres ! Furthermore, the Inn was clean throughout. What was most notable during our stay was the hospitality of the Innkeepers, Carmen, Kevin along with Andres and staff. We were warmly welcomed upon our arrival, and felt at home throughout. Their flexibility was also greatly appreciated...thanks to remnants of Hurricane Ian hovering over us, our two night stay turned into a 5 night retreat. Payne Harbor Inn will be our go-to Inn on Block Island from this point forward !...
Read moreThis is our third time staying at Payne's Harborview Inn, and we love it. Carmen, Kevin and staff make our stay so pleasurable and memorable. The location is perfect between the Old Harbor and New Harbor. Walking and biking is a breeze - we didn't need a car. We rented bikes from Aldo's located near the Oar House, and Leo gave us a great deal for our family of 4 for the week - we also got a great deal on the mopeds (early morning|3 hrs). Getting back to the Inn...the breakfasts are terrific as well as the Payne's killer donuts! We played cornhole a lot on their beautiful lawn overlooking the harbor. It is easy to bike to the beach from there and run into town. In the late afternoon there are freshly baked cookies - yum. We enjoyed our room on the 3rd floor and the nice toiletries in the beautiful roomy bathroom. We love the history of this Inn, and Carmen's family - her great, great grandmother lived in the North Lighthouse - amazing! We will be back again in the future - an...
