Girl Scout Weekend in Mystic

The house was perfect for our small Girl Scout troop of 8 girls and 2 leaders. We cooked all of our meals in the cozy kitchen, and enjoyed game and movie nights in the family room. The walk to downtown was easy. Overall, we had a lovely time at this house.

Great Property and Destination

This property was just as described, it was clean and comfortable with all amenities needed. Great backyard for children to play as well as a clean basement as a play area. Close to Mystic village (about one mile) and a few local beaches. Very centrally located, quiet neighborhood and lots of restaurants nearby. Highly recommend.

A great week in Mystic!

The house was clean and fit our needs! Only real complaint: I know single serve coffee makers are popular, but for a 4 bedroom house it may be more practical to have an actual drip machine. Pretty easy walk downtown. We had a great visit to Mystic!

Summer Vacay

The property was exactly as described. Plenty of room for our family of six. Check in process was easy and house was ready for our visit. It was clean and well stocked. In a nice and safe feeling little neighborhood. Kinda far to walk to anything, but that’s just my opinion. Town is quaint and cute. Overall, had everything we needed and was a great stay!

The ice maker was broken and no ice trays. We left a message very early July 4. We received a call back July 5 late afternoon. Nothing was done. We had to buy ice For our whole stay we got 10 towels, 5 wash clothes and 2 hand towels for 8 people The table seats 6 and the couch 4/5, which did not work well for my family of 8. I wish I had spent more money and stayed closer to town

Disappointed

Tub covered in drano upon arrival. Entire tub was black. Apparently a plumbing issue upon checkout from previous guest. Mgmt. solution to dump drano and not checked. Avoidable. Mgmt responsive but Caused a lot of grief after a long day of travel. Had to wait for plumber but was eventually fixed. Canceled evening plans. Danielle was great, Jason rude. Disappointed and not advertised that back yard only accessible by basement stairs or walking around house. Extremely inconvenient! Front door lights out (Another mgmt failure) and driveway motion light timer on for 1 second. Had to purchase several lanterns to see. Light over sink out, 1 bedroom Both side Bed lights broken, backyard lighting an issue. LR rug not centered on under mat & curtains torn. Internet link sent was wrong but I figured it out. Garbage bags in recycling bin Upon arrival and told to put garbage out on holiday. Figured it out. Confusion with check out date but thankfully resolved. No notice of Early Saturday landscaper. Family rented an exquisitely appointed, beautifully landscaped And supplied home In downtown Mystic for same price for same bed/baths At the same time and beautiful easy access yard. MANY Lessons learned! First VRBO Rental. I was stunned when I visited their rental. Could use hand rails in showers and better lighting overall. House was clean. Kudos to cleaning crew.

Quaint and lovely

The house was immaculate and absolutely adorable and in a nice quiet neighborhood. The four bedrooms and two upstairs were so perfect for a large family stay. The full kitchen was perfect for cooking meals at home! Everyone loved the board games to play when we had downtime. The proximity to many wonderful beaches was amazing, we spent a lot of time at Misquamicut beach which was less than 30 minutes away. We enjoyed downtown mystic which was a short walk or bike ride away. We absolutely loved the restaurants mystic has as well as the aquarium! Thanks so much for accommodating our family.

Great Location and Layout

We stayed here for the weekend during the Mystic Outdoor Art Festival. We really enjoyed this house and we'd definitely stay here again if we need a place in Mystic. The place was clean and the layout was very practical. The kitchen/dining area/living room space is open concept and is very nice. The location and neighborhood were perfect for us. Communication with the owner/manger was excellent as well. Thank you!!

Very nice house. Very clean. We enjoyed our stay. A little longer than we thought but we still enjoyed our walks into downtown Mystic. The only thing missing for our family was no deck to hang out on for early morning coffee or evening cocktails.
