This is a wonderful property. It is a small but absolutely lovely place. It worked perfect for my spouse and I, and our two daughters. They shared the pullout sofa in the living room. We loved this place. Perfect location, too!
My family enjoyed our stay in the Captain's suite very much. In the heart of Downtown Mystic, you can walk Main Street to shop, eat delicious food, have cocktails, enjoy ice cream, take a sail along the river, and so much more. Having a comfortable, cool, and very clean place to come back to after a long day out was just what we needed. The suite accommodates 2 adults and 2 small children very nicely and offers beautiful views from the 3rd floor. I would definitely recommend to friends & family looking to enjoy a long weekend getaway.
