The property was clean. The air conditioners were loud and didn’t cool the house off on really hot days. The house needs an air conditioning system, not 5 air conditioners. The downstairs floor was always wet, even though we emptied the dehumidifiers all the time. They told you the kitchen wasn’t stocked, but honestly it’s a drawback when renting a house.We also mentioned that we had seen carpenter ants in the house, but they said there wasn’t an ant problem. So we sprayed all the time.Overall, I wouldn’t stay there again.

We had a great time at this house. Beds comfortable. It was too breezy to be on the deck but we enjoyed the dinning room and living room. It was a great location. We will certainly try to come back.

Home away from Home
The property management team was very accommodating. We had a wonderful time celebrating my cousin Melissa's 30th birthday at this beautiful home! The kitchen was fully stocked to cook our feast. There was plenty of space to eat inside and outside on the furnished deck. We took a short walk down to Twisters Ice Cream Shop to finish the birthday celebrations with some sweet treats! Definitely can not wait to come back!

Great stay at a great location
We really enjoyed our stay here with 2 families (4 adults and 6 kids). The downstairs area was great for the kids. The house was clean and nice, and location near the seaport (and ice cream shop) was great. Only negative point was that some of the beds were not extremely comfortable, but in general I would say we had a wonderful rental experience, and I would definitely consider this rental again.

Great location for this property!
Check-in was easy and communication was very good with this property. The location made it easy access to everything we wanted to do in the Mystic area. I would suggest comforter on beds downstairs and work in the bathroom on casing around shower in basement. Tables with night lights would be very helpful also. Stay was as described.

Perfect Mystic Getaway
You cannot beat the location of this house! Our long weekend was amazing here. Everything was within a 5 minute drive: aquarium, Mystic village, downtown Mystic, beaches, ice cream shops... the list goes on. The house perfectly accommodated our two families, and the backyard was a nice bonus for the dog. The house itself was very clean, and there were lots of extra sheets, towels, pillows, etc. I would book this house again.

Lovely spring getaway
Our family of 6 spent 2 nights at this property in mid-April, and it was just what we needed. The house was clean and comfortable, with more than enough room for all of us. We spent evenings watching beautiful sunsets over the water which was just at the end of the block. The house was a short walk into downtown Mystic with easy access to restaurants and ice cream! Also quick drive to the aquarium. Overall great getaway for our family!

The house was clean and spacious. Perfect getaway for a group of friends or family.
Myself and 9 of my friends were looking for a location to spend the 4th of July. This getaway in mystic was great! Although the weather wasn’t the best we were able to visit a local vineyard and also have dinner right in town which was 3 mins away. There is a little food and ice cream spot right down the street from the home. Spacious backyard and great living room space to hang out with friends or family. The rooms were all very clean and same for the bathrooms. If I ever need to come to mystic again I will be staying here!
