The 1661 Resort

We had an absolutely fabulous stay at Dodge Cottage, one of the 1661 satellite houses. Clean, quiet and great location around the corner from the charming downtown area. We had never been to Block Island and didn't know what to expect. It is understatement to say we were blown away by the beauty and friendliness. The brunch and happy hour at 1661 with that unbelievable view of the ocean were highlights for us. Every staff member was super-helpful. Whatever they are doing there in training staff and creating a hospitable culture is definitely working. Thank you. We will be back!

recently stayed at 1661 with my mom and we had an amazing trip. the resort is clean, staff is very friendly, and rooms are cozy. very conveniently located too.||we loved the complimentary happy hour each day and appreciated the complimentary champagne at breakfast too!||they have a garden across the street, be sure to check it out because the veggies are so fresh and delicious!||i also appreciated the fact that they had a coffee machine in the lobby with some treats/muffins that was available 24/7. water too, so we could refill our bottles at any time of the day or night.||can't wait to come back!

Our stay at the Campbell Cottage (a 1661 Resort property) was simply fantastic! The newly renovated and spacious two bedroom Cottage is perfectly located: with a view of the ocean, adjacent to the 1661 garden, animal farm and yoga studio, across the street from the 1661 Inn, and a short walk to town. This is the third 1661 Resort property we have stayed in and we continue be impressed by the warm, friendly staff as well as the condition of the properties. Don’t miss the delicious breakfast (available at the Inn), which features fresh vegetables straight from the inn's own expansive garden. The owner, Rita Draper, is a truly wonderful hostess, and it was clear how much she and her staff care about making every guest's experience special.|With cozy rooms, incredible food, and unparalleled hospitality, the 1661 Inn exceeded all our expectations. We can't wait to return!

They’ve truly created a tranquil, modern vibe that sets this place apart. This is hands-down the nicest accommodation on Block Island. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed, and the staff goes above and beyond in every aspect.||The property is meticulously clean, in a superb location, and totally family-friendly. You simply can’t go wrong staying here.||Bonus: the offseason is the perfect time to explore Block Island — peaceful, scenic, and uncrowded. And don’t miss their breakfast — it’s a highlight, with stunning views, a laid-back vibe, and the kindest service around.

We recently stayed at the Eureka Hotel to attend a wedding. The hotel is newly renovated and beautiful! The staff was friendly and very helpful. This was especially important as we were there during a Nor'easter and had to extend our stay. The staff, especially Rita, was understanding and flexible. We were in good hands and hope to return.

The 1661 Inn is one of the nicest bed and breakfasts on Block Island. You are made to feel welcome the moment you step into the lobby. We have been staying there for quite a few years and are never disappointed. The breakfast is outstanding with a great variety of food, from the made to order omelette to the French toast and pancakes. Unlimited mimosas are an extra treat. The rooms are well appointed, many with beautiful views of the water. Wine and nibbles in the afternoon are another plus. All in all a great experience.

We loved 1661 Inn. Our entire trip was magical!! The staff was lovely, went above and beyond. LOVED the breakfast and the farm to table omelet - some of the best food on the island - and the complimentary wine & cheese nibbles everyday was the cherry on top. Excellent location and accommodation - would recommend to anyone and will definitely be back!

After 35 years of visiting Block Island, the newly renovated Eureka Hotel at The 1661 Resort is hands-down my new favorite! The views are stunning as they overlook the animal farm, Old Harbor, and the Atlantic Ocean. The rooms are spotless, stylish, and so comfortable with great beds, fluffy towels, dreamy pillows, mini-fridges, and keypad entry. I loved the terrace for morning coffee, the 24/7 coffee/tea/water station, and the little luxury touches like aromatherapy toiletries, full length mirrors, excellent room & reading lighting, and efficient air conditioning & heating. Breakfast at the nearby 1661 Resort is a treat with a huge buffet and made-to-order eggs. After breakfast I took a top notch yoga session each day at the Elevation Studio also located at the 1661.Resort. The 1661’s Oar Restaurant is perfect for sushi, lobster rolls, oysters, mudslides (not to be missed!) and now steamed lobsters, mussels and clams. After decades of stays, I’ve finally found “the one” and Eureka is it!
