This is a quaint New England property with a nautical feel. The house has a warm feel. It’s close to downtown Mystic and a short ride to Foxwoods. The host communicated so well. We will be returning for another girls weekend!

6/10 Okay

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The house was disappointing. It felt like 1864 era with a whitewash. The quality of its interior was one star. Very low quality pillows, everything. For seniors the stairs are treacherous. A tweak to quality would have made it more tolerable.
