We enjoyed our visit to this clean, solid, accommodating inn. Lovely hosts run a charming place with a laid back vibe for a welcoming stay. Great spot with water views but it’s a mile walk or cab ride from Old Harbor ferry. (No Uber) Decent breakfast.
Block Island in the Fall is magical and the view from the backyard was magnificent. Check in was very quick and easy. Room was lovely with a comfortable bed and a small balcony. Great location - walking distance to town.
This was my first visit to Block Island and this property was one of the highlights of the trip. It was cute, clean, had gorgeous views and staff was welcoming. I was pleasantly surprised at the morning breakfast and enjoyed it while I took in the view! I enjoy walking so a huge perk for me was the walks I could get in to go shopping and sightseeing. Taxis were quick though if that's not a preference.
Staff was great. Free breakfast was outstanding. Room clean with all the comforts of home. Guests on Daturday were LOUD till well past midnight. Should have shut them down for other guests
I love the quietness of the area and the options for a view of the new harbor and sunset of the inn. Great place to grab breakfast and sit on the porch with coffee in the morning.
We had an issue and called the owner at 1:30am she was there in like 2 mins and fixed our issue!! Now that’s service and thank you Carmen

Gorgeous view. Clean, friendly. Would stay here again!
The owners, including Chef Andres, were so kind and outgoing. The facility was beautiful and well-maintained! We were able to leave our luggage before and after check out while we continue to bike and enjoy the island. Game changer.
The facility was also close enough to bike from the ferry. With a few options to walk for dinner. Definitely want to go back in the future!
First of all, there was nothing I did not like it was all beautiful. The view from the balconies were beautiful great sunset view. The Gardens were beautiful as well. I recommend anyone who is looking for a couple of days off vacation time look into this place.
Overall it was a nice serene place to stay. The room was clean and well appointed. The only downside is that I only stayed one night. I enjoyed my included breakfast while sitting in an Adirondack chair overlooking the bay. They also have Payne's Donuts right there so no having to hike down the road and wait in line.
Payne’s is beautiful, the staff is so welcoming, the breakfast was amazing and the coffee was delicious! I sat out on the deck morning and night looking out over the harbor. It is centrally located and an easy walk to downtown. I have found my Block Island home!
Payne’s Harbor View Inn was an amazing experience. First time my wife and I stayed at an inn. Very clean and the ownership and staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
