Our stay at this property exceeded all of our expectations. We felt welcome for our first message from our host and that warmth was only deepened when we stepped into these remarkable and historic buildings. It was everything we wanted for our family group, to visit, explore and make memories. The location cannot be beat as we sound ourselves nestled in the heart of Mystic, CT. Water views, soft church bells and quaint shops frame this home away from home. With ample parking, this home offers a wonderful spot for all that Mystic has to offer…even if you never leave this house. Thank you for a wonderful stay, and we highly recommend anyone looking for a special and memorable stay, or even just a comfortable place to spend time away on the shore, stay here!

Perfect property and perfect locations. Used the bikes and kayaks. We ranged from 9 to 80 years old and all enjoyed. Waking up and go to bed with watching the Mystic River. Highly recommend this property and Gerard was only a text away. Thanks Gerard

Comfortable, convenient, and charming! The house was well equipped and the views -- especially at night -- were enchanting. Communication with the host were outstanding -- easy and gracious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
