Loved this house. Super clean, had everything we needed, front porch was lovely. Had an issue with the drier and Gerard had it fixed before we returned home from activities. Super close to the drawbridge, easy to get to many places. Would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful stay and truly enjoyed this home. It was perfect for our family of four and exactly as advertised. The house was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up, with all of the amenities we needed to feel right at home. We especially appreciated the attention to detail, including the welcome basket, which was such a nice touch and made us feel immediately welcomed.Working with Gerard was a pleasure. He is a great communicator and was very responsive and helpful whenever we had questions. We have stayed at another one of his properties in the past and had a great experience, and this stay was just as positive.The location was ideal, with an easy walk to downtown restaurants and shops, and a CVS right up the street for any essentials you may have forgotten. Some of our favorite nearby spots were Sift Bakery, Bravo Bravo, Taquerio, Engine Room, and the Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream shop, which our kids absolutely loved. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to others!

Townhouse Downtown Mystic
Our stay at the property in Mystic was fantastic. The property listing is just as you see. It's a charming and historic townhouse within a short walk to downtown Mystic. We walked every day. The neighborhood is wonderful to walk as well. The townhouse was exceptionally clean and lovely. Gerard, the property owner, reached out daily to make sure everything was going well. He also made the check-in and check-out process convenient. I would stay again!

Fabulous Friends Getaway
We had a perfect stay at this lovely Mystic home. It had absolutely everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. It is just a short walk into Mystic town center so we never had to drive anywhere except for a quick trip to the grocery store. We enjoyed coffee on the covered porch in the morning and cocktails on the patio in the evening. Our host Gerard was accommodating, kind and considerate. It was the perfect place for a small group of teacher friends to relax and unwind at the end of a long school year. We will definitely return here to enjoy Mystic again one day.

Perfect Mystic Weekend
Perfectly located within walking distance of shops and restaurants in downtown Mystic, this charming historical house was a gem. There was plenty of room for 2 couples and 2 grown kids with ample space in the living room/kitchen and great space on the front porch and patio. The house was nicely decorated and the owner thought of every amenity his guests would need. We definitely would come back again!

Mystic vacation
The house is in an excellent location, just a short walk into town and had every amenity you could need.
As a first time house renter in USA it was great to find everything you need for washing and cleaning and all the things we would normally bring with us.
We also loved the porch which was a real sun trap and a great place to spend sn evening.
