Just returned from a great Mother’s Day weekend at this beautiful historic house. I love that they really kept with the theme of the home in their decor. Not only is the home located in a picture perfect spot but once you park your car you never have to get in it again until it’s time to go home. The location was in walking distance to the many wonderful restaurants, boutiques and bars in town. The house was also equipped with everything you could ask for and the check-in and checkout were as easy as could be. Gerard was wonderful to work with! Would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a nice, relaxing, easy getaway.

Charming house, so close to all the shops and restaurants…walking distance to all the fun! Property managed very well, so clean, lots of amenities and great communication! This was our second time staying at this property and will be back!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
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!
