Island Manor Resort Chapel St.

The Resort & Its Setting

Island Manor Resort Chapel St. is an independently run timeshare property with RCI affiliation, located on Block Island, Rhode Island. The island itself is reachable only by ferry (or small chartered flight), which keeps the pace slow and the crowds seasonal rather than constant. Owning here means owning a stake in a genuinely small-island community rather than a sprawling resort strip — a draw for repeat visitors to Block Island, and a point worth highlighting to anyone browsing listings for the first time.

The Area and Things to Do

Block Island rewards owners who like being outdoors. Southeast Light, the island's historic 1873 lighthouse, sits around 2.2 miles away and remains one of the most-photographed spots on the island. Block Island State Beach (about 1.7 miles) is the go-to for swimming and sunbathing, while the Mohegan Bluffs (roughly 2.6 miles), with their 200-foot drop to the Atlantic, are a must for anyone keen on coastal hiking or photography. History buffs can stop at the Block Island Historical Society (1.3 miles), and Rodman's Hollow Nature Preserve (2.4 miles) offers quieter trails through the island's native scrub and dune landscape. All of this is realistically covered by bike, which is how most visitors get around once they're off the ferry.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their week at Island Manor Resort Chapel St. can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. As a private, owner-to-owner marketplace, we don't take a commission — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee and then set their own asking price. Buyers reach out through the platform directly, so there's no middleman negotiating on your behalf or taking a cut of the sale.

Because the resort operates as an independent property, resale transfers typically go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a large branded transfer department. If you're selling, be ready to tell buyers what the current annual maintenance fee is and whether the association charges a transfer fee — these details aren't standardised across independent resorts, so it's worth confirming the exact figures with the resort before agreeing a price with a buyer. If you're buying, ask the same questions upfront: what transfers with the week (the interval itself, any banked points, RCI enrollment status) and what doesn't, and how long the association typically takes to process a change of ownership.

Because Island Manor Resort Chapel St. is RCI-affiliated, it's worth mentioning to buyers that the week (or the points, depending on how the ownership is structured) can potentially be deposited into RCI for exchange at other affiliated resorts. This is a genuine draw for anyone who values flexibility over a fixed week on Block Island every year — just confirm with the resort or RCI directly how enrollment and ongoing RCI membership dues are handled, since those aren't something we can price for you.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Renters

Block Island operates on a seasonal rhythm: peak season runs June through September, when ferries, restaurants, and shops are all fully open and the island is at its liveliest. Renters and buyers looking for a quieter trip — and often better ferry availability — tend to look at May or October. Outside of summer, some island services scale back, so it's worth checking what's open before committing to off-season dates. Anyone renting a week here should also confirm ferry logistics in advance, since getting to the island is part of the planning, not an afterthought.
