Great location and fun place to stay with everything we needed. Great neighborhood to walk and see the beautiful old homes of Mystic. We were not expecting an apartment above (noise travels through old wooden floors) but luckily other renters weren't noisy. Would stay again!

Great location, nice property, so convenient!

One of the best VRBOs we've rented. Owners did a great job renovating the property, in spite of the fact that nothing is square or plumb. The A/C splits are awesome and work great. Our stay was a delight. We would definitely stay here again and recommend the property. Thank you

Perfect Location

This unit was perfectly situation at the end of the Main Street. We were able to walk to a lot of different places like Sift Bake Shop and many shops. I would say investing in a full length mirror would be a good improvement as well as thicker ply toilet paper.

Getaway long weekend

The apartment is lovely. Very clean and recently updated, so walls, floors, rugs, etc in great condition. Plenty of bath towels, large shower, kitchen well-appointed for our stay. Two tvs, comfy couch and loves that we each had a rack for our suitcases! Easy walk to downtown Mystic. Because it’s a very old house, it’s a little loud, but that didn’t really bother us. Great find and thanks for the bottle of wine!!

Memorial Day Weekend

Stayed here over Memorial Day Weekend. Location to Downtown is excellent for walking, very short walk to everything. Finishes are beautiful inside, bed was comfy, clean place, etc. Not a ton of storage for clothes in the bedroom, but we managed. Given proximity to downtown and that it is an old home, there is noise - but host does a great job with the quiet hours policy. Most of the guests in the home were younger families (we all had kids) and it was fine.

Even Better the Second Time!

We enjoyed a 4 night stay in the quaint seaside town of Mystic made so much better by chic, well appointed accommodations. Literally walking distance from the Museum, an impressive Bakery and so many charming shops in the Historic District, the location couldn't have been better, offering private parking, which we found was a premium amenity. This was our second year staying at this vacation house. Our first time was on the top floor which we enjoyed and set a great expectation for this year on the first floor. Well stocked with everything needed, we cooked a few quality meals with ease; savored the complimentary wine; kicked back and watched movies a couple of evenings. Next year when we return, we'll consider ourselves "regulars!"
