10/10 | Excellent | Hannah C. | 19 Jun 2024 | Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy | None | Loved it! | The property was perfectly situated and walkable to restaurants and a beautiful part of town. I loved sitting in the backyard with a cup of tea and listening to the birds. The host was immediately responsive when we reached out with questions. Our stay was comfortable and we had the relaxing getaway we needed! | Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 | ||
10/10 | Excellent | Verified traveller | 29 Mar 2024 | Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy | None | Amazing clean quiet place | Loved this property was beautiful and close enough to downtown mystic to be fun and far enough to not be in the middle of busy craziness. Would definitely stay there again. | Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2024 | Response from VrboOwner on 6 Jun 2024 | Thanks for the review Albert. Glad to have you back anytime. Come back and visit soon! |
10/10 | Excellent | Patrick O., Wilkes-Barre, PA | 20 Oct 2023 | Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy | None | Great stay in Mystic! | Fantastic location only about a ten-minute walk to downtown and the Seaport Museum. This is the most well stocked vacation rental I’ve stayed at with everything available to cook a meal in the kitchen, as well as plenty of towels etc…. The yard is great and we really enjoyed the outdoor gas fireplace. The property listing stated “ Get the house nice and toasty by lighting up a fire at the indoor gas operated fireplace.” However, there is no indoor gas fireplace. Regardless, I would not hesitate to rent this house again as it was perfect for my family. | Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 | Response from VrboOwner on 7 Nov 2023 | It was a pleasure to host Patrick and his Family. We would want to host them again on the near future. |

We are very happy to host them again on the near future. |

10/10 | Excellent | John and Amy B. | 4 Aug 2023 | Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy | None | Relaxing week in Mystic | Great house in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed walking to the Mystic drawbridge – to restaurants, shops, and ice cream! House is walkable to Seaport Museum and only short drive to aquarium and Olde Mystic Shops. Would definitely stay here again. Hosts thought of everything. Only caution is front steps to house. Would not recommend with wheelchair or strollers – steep and uneven. Appreciated the instruction book with local recommendations. Would have loved a listening of local parks and playgrounds. It took us a few tries to locate basketball courts for teenage son. With all of the outdoor activity, walking, and good eating, it was so nice to fall into the cozy beds at the end of our days. They were very comfortable. We also worked while there and the wifi was quite reliable. | Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 | ||
