About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Essence of the New England coast

Walk out your front door and enjoy quintessential coastal New England. This family friendly house is found on the quietest of side streets. Grab a coffee at the famous Sift bakery and watch the boats navigate the historic Bascule Drawbridge. Meander down the side streets along the placid Mystic River with breathtaking views of the Seaport and the Charles W. Morgan. The Harbour House is perfect for that weekend stay or perhaps a longer get away to enjoy the best of Mystic.

Located at the top of a hill, three blocks from the river, this three bedroom, two full bath two level cape has on the first floor an open layout, pull-out queen-size couch, and fully stocked kitchen. Several large new windows flood the space with light. Master bedroom has a dreamy king-size bed, and secondary bedroom has two twin beds and writing desk. Enjoy morning coffee or afternoon drinks on the front deck in a quiet, off-the-main road area. This single family house has a lovely yard that is big enough for lawn games. On the bottom garden level, you have a full studio with kitchenette and a separate full bathroom. The living room has a queen-sized pull out couch.

The best aspect of this house is that it's centrally located and within walking distance of all of the fun in Mystic. You get the best of both worlds, walking distance without traffic noise; our street is quiet even during the high tourist season.

Barbecue some dinner at the house or go out to enjoy the many happy hours at restaurants, all walking distance from the house.

Easy 24 hour check-in and check-out is possible with keypad entry on the front door.

We include 2 off-street parking spots, with additional parking in the street.

Family stay in Mystic

Our family of 5 adults were all extremely comfortable here. The home was very clean and had everything we needed including beach towels and chairs for our beach outing. Parking was convenient and easy. The beds were comfortable, kitchen well supplied, tv-family room area roomy. We loved everything about it including being able to easily walk to downtown Mystic. It was a great spot for us to comfortably be together for our visit to the area!

Heart of Mystic

The property is so convenient, it is 900 feet to mystic pizza and the main street. The downstairs area has a separate sitting area which is nice if you have kids. States sleeping 9 but I think that is a stretch unless you have little kids. There is only 2 bathrooms which could be an issue if you have a lot of ladies. We did not have any issues with that. If you want a close location to everything that mystic has to offer, this houses for you.

Best location in mystic

We had such a great time in mystic while staying at this house. We had a 1 and 3 year old and the super short walk to downtown was fantastic for us and them. The two bedrooms are very spacious. We fit a blow up toddler bed and a pack in play in the room with two double beds with ease. The primary bedroom is also spacious even with a king size bed. The kitchen/living room area was homey and the big table was great for family dinners. We also took advantage of the bistro table on the deck out front. The one suggestion I’d say is to add a deadbolt on the main door. The keypad entry is so easy and so great to not have to carry any keys for the house but with kids, it was a draw for them to open the door when we were in the house which was a little too easy. We just put a chair in front of the door and the problem was solved but just something for future families to know. All in all a great experience. Would highly recommend this property to families and couples. The location just can’t be beat!

This two bedroom property was perfect for our few days in Mystic. Located in a quaint little neighborhood within walking distance from Mystic Pizza. The house was so comfortable in every way, complete with everything one would need including beach towels and boogie boards for our day at Misquamicut Beach. Highly recommend Sift Bakery with its fabulous breads, pastries and desserts. Captain Daniel Packer Inne was another new venture for us with its old history. A big thank you to our hosts! Love the property with attention to the details that made our visit to Mystic very memorable. Thank you!!

Perfect Location for Visiting Mystic

Chris & Ale’s two-bedroom cottage was better than expected! Spotlessly clean, nicely furnished, with comfortable beds and a good bathroom with great water pressure. The hosts left OJ & milk & coffee & water & cooking oils & spices — though only being there for two days meant we did not really cook. The cottage is located in an extremely quite area, but a less than 5 minute walk to Mystic town center, with many restaurants & shops. It’s a very quick drive to the Mystic Seaport Museum — which everyone should visit. Overall this cozy cottage was just perfect for a visit to the Mystic area. We would definitely return.

Perfect Mystic Oasis

This property was the perfect place to stay for a peaceful fun filled vacation. The property is excellent in that it is decorated in a sophisticated manner, expertly laid out, conveniently located to any and all things you might want to do in Mystic (plenty of walkable activities and others are a quick drive away), and has everything you need. What's more, the owners are great with communication -- both the instructions and welcome book included within the house were exactly what's needed, and the owners respond promptly to messages. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay (with my children) and when we return to Mystic we will book this same house again.

Excellent spot for couples and small families!

This place was a find! Walking distance to shops and restaurants, on a quiet street, and the space was impeccably clean. We are a family of four and it was perfect for us for a long weekend visit, though we would love to come back for a full week and see more of the area. The owners were very responsive and the house itself has some nice features like the heat blower in the bathroom installed directly above the shower curtain so you never feel cold when you get out of the shower, beautiful dishes and sharper image knives, and the softest towels and sheets, with Hershey kisses left on everyone’s pillows upon arrival. We did not want to leave and will be recommending this property to friends and family!
