This was the cleanest rental property we’ve had the privilege to stay. The location to downtown Mystic and the Seaport Museum was perfect! Every night my husband and I would go outside right before 8PM to hear the church bells from across the lake.The stairs are no joke but there are baby safety gates which was perfect for our 3 under 3!Gerard, the host, was amazing and so accommodating. Thank you for a great family vacation!

We had the best time at this property. We went here for our annual girls trip—six friends from college (20 years later). It’s in such a great location, just a 10-minute walk to downtown, on a quiet street. Walk for thirty seconds and you’re looking at the river. The house had everything we needed, and the owner was very easy to get in touch with quickly whenever we had a question. We would definitely come back.

Great location

The home was very clean and in a great location. Walking distance to a lot! The only negative was the check in and check out times were firm and not flexible. We felt 4pm check in was a little late and 10am check out was early. Very kid / baby friendly, they had baby gates and a high chair at the home as well as a pack and play!

Beautiful historic property with modern upgrades. Nice private patio and a front porch for relaxing. Right across the street from the historic Mystic Museum shipyard and minutes from the South entrance. Don't miss the Sea View Snack Bar just down the road for great lobster rolls and fried seafood.

My family and friends stayed for two nights. The house was super clean, well appointed, close to the main strip, and communicating with the property manager was super easy. The street was quiet and being able to have your doggo with you made this spot pretty perfect. Would love to visit again!

Wonderful New England Charmer

We LOVED this little house. It was super close to the historic Mystic area, right behind the Mystic Maritime museum and so much more. The house was comfortable and so nicely appointed. I really appreciated the little separate unit in the back yard that had a 1st floor bathroom. If we plan a trip back to Mystic, we would definitely pick this adorable charmer again. The host was excellent also. Very responsive to any needs we had. We were able to bring our pups along which was a big deal for us. We only stay were our pups are welcome. 5 stars isn't really enough! Just an overall great experience

Flawless rental

Great location - able to walk to all Mystic attractions. House clean and well stocked. Only need to provide food. Nice having four bedrooms. Effortless check out is nice compared to most rentals. Only need to run dishwasher before leaving. They take care of everything else, even the trash. It is like staying at a hotel.

Great house and location

We hosted family for a week and the house could not have been more accommodating or convenient to downtown. We were able to walk to every location we wanted to in the downtown area. Steps away from being able to use the kayaks was a great way to start the morning. The house was in great shape and we had plenty of privacy on the back patio. Communication with the owner was excellent throughout the week when we had questions. We will definitely consider this house again when we come back to Mystic!
