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 and gorgeous property.

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!

The house was perfect for our weekend stay - great location, clean and well set up. Communication and check in process couldn't have been easier. Nice to have a "private" separate guest house - a real bonus. Easy walk to town with all its shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again when visiting the area.

Great location to explore Mystic!

The location of the property was perfect. We could easily walk to town right along the river. Also to the Seaport which was right near the house. The house was spotless, stocked with essentials, and the beds were comfortable. A perfect place to stay in Mystic! Gerard, the property manager was great.

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!

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.

I am so glad my family & I took this trip to Mystic! Such a great place to visit, so much to see! Such an adorable coastal town with great restaurants, tons of shopping & things to do.We visited the aquarium so happy we did, love the Beluga whales! The house is in the perfect location, walking distance to downtown mystic, close to restaurants. We loved the Engine Room, highly recommended! The house had everything & more that we needed. My 18 year old son even had his own space in the guesthouse which he loved. Check in & check out were incredibly easy thanks to Gerard! I would absolutely stay here again & look forward to coming back soon!!

This property was spotless, beautifully furnished and steps from the water. They thought of everything. We were so relaxed the whole vacation. Short walk to Everything! Quiet neighborhood but not stuffy. The separate cottage gave us just enough space away from the kids. Great rental for multigenerational getaway. The bikes and kayaks were a nice perk as well as the propane grill, fully applianced kitchen and plenty of seating (inside and on lovely private patio!). Thank you!
