The Space Our bright, thoughtfully appointed cottage comfortably accommodates families, couples, and small groups looking to experience the best of Mystic while enjoying the peaceful charm of island living.

Why You'll Love Mason's Island Mason's Island is one of Mystic's hidden gems—a quiet waterfront community surrounded by marinas, saltwater inlets, sailboats, and coastal scenery. Unlike the bustle of downtown, the island offers peaceful streets perfect for morning walks, bike rides, and evening strolls while remaining just minutes from all of Mystic's attractions.
From the house, you're just: • 3-minute walk to the famous Kitchen Little, a beloved local breakfast spot overlooking Mystic River Marina that's known for its waterfront dining and hearty New England breakfasts • 20-minute scenic walk (or short drive) to Enders Island, a peaceful waterfront retreat featuring beautiful gardens, walking paths, a historic chapel, and sweeping views of Fishers Island Sound • 5-minute drive to historic Downtown Mystic, where you'll find award-winning restaurants, boutique shopping, the iconic drawbridge, waterfront bars, galleries, and live music • 6-minute drive to Mystic Seaport Museum, America's leading maritime museum, where historic tall ships, waterfront exhibits, and family-friendly activities await.
You'll also be just minutes from Mystic Aquarium, Olde Mistick Village, Stonington Borough, nearby beaches, kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing excursions, wineries, breweries, and countless coastal adventures.

We throughly enjoyed our stay. The home is well maintained and very comfortable. We were especially impressed with the screened in patio. This became our favorite location for starting the day with our coffee and ending it with our dinners. The backyard with the wildflowers was particularly enchanting. The home has a real New England feel. The area of course has a lot to offer and the beauty of the sea says it all.
