Overview:

Nestled along both sides of the Mystic River and divided by the famous Mystic River Bascule Bridge, Mystic is one of Connecticut's premier vacation destinations. The “village” was founded in 1654, and quickly rose to prominence as a shipbuilding center during the clipper ship era. Nowadays, Mystic has become known for its quintessential New England charm, as well as being home to two of Connecticut's most visited attractions: the Mystic Seaport and the Mystic Aquarium.



Guest Access:

You will have access via smart lock to the home



The Neighborhood:

This neighborhood is extremely walkable which makes getting around a breeze! This home is in walking distance to the center of downtown and the Bascule bridge meaning guests can stroll from one side of town to the other by way of the walking bridge.



Getting Around:

Mystic is easily accessible by way of car on I-95 and CT route 27. Also, Amtrak runs Northeast Regional trains daily from New York City to Boston along the coastline route all the way to Mystic. The train from New York City to Mystic is about 3 hours while the one from Boston is just 1.5 hours.

In terms of getting around once guests are already in Mystic, the area is very pedestrian-friendly and accessible.



Other Things to Note:

This property and its neighboring twin are available to be rented together for those needing both houses for their guests!

The properties share parking and can fit about 4 cars.

This house has plenty of space, additional bonus room, nice yard, friendly neighbors. Quick walk to downtown area yet set back far enough to be relaxing and quiet. Easy drive to aquarium, sea port museum and the Dino park! Very clean, fully stocked with linens, towels and kitchen supplies. Easy check in and great communication with host. Highly recommended and would love to stay here again.

I like my privacy and this place is perfect. It’s only me so I didn’t even use the second floor. Great for the cleaning people lol very clean and well put together. You can tell it’s more like a business because the extra mile and stock it like a luxury hotel. Stayed here three times already for work. I am planning another stay already in May.
