About this property

Historic Sea Captains Home in Downtown Mystic, Walk everywhere, Pet Friendly!

The Captain William Morgan House is a 2,700 sq. ft. sea captain’s home built in 1852, beautifully renovated in 2015.

This Greek Revival has been thoughtfully updated with modern comforts while maintaining its original charm.

The Captain Morgan House has three bedrooms plus two loft bedrooms, two full baths, and sleeps up to 10.

It sits in the heart of downtown Mystic’s historic district, just a 3 minute walk to shops, restaurants, and everything downtown has to offer, so you can leave your car behind and walk everywhere.

The yard is entirely fenced in, perfect for relaxing outdoors. In addition to the cozy sitting porch out front and the large, covered, pillared porch at the back of the house, there is also a private stone patio tucked into the far corner of the yard, a peaceful spot for morning coffee or tea.

The spacious yard also features a hammock and an in-ground stone fire pit for relaxed evenings.

A picnic table sits at the far back of the yard, and the property is surrounded by beautiful flowering gardens, with roses, hydrangeas, lavender, and seasonal perennials adding color and fragrance throughout the season and creating a calm, welcoming setting.

This rental has everything you will need for a comfortable, relaxing stay, and there are also 4 kayaks available for your use.

The Mystic River is just one street away, with views the windows. You will hear boat whistles, church bells, and those familiar sea sounds that make Mystic feel like Mystic.

You are also a short drive to Mystic Seaport Museum, Mystic Aquarium, Olde Mistick Village, and nearby favorites like the Mystic River Bascule Bridge, Williams Beach, the Argia Mystic Cruises, Stonington Borough, Bluff Point State Park, and Rhode Islands beautiful beaches.

The home is available nightly, weekly, or monthly, year round. The property is very private, peaceful, and truly in walking distance to everything.

Next door to the main house is The Carriage House at 26 Pearl St, also available to rent. For larger groups, this is an ideal setup, you can occupy the entire property (a double lot) while still having plenty of privacy. Pets are allowed under the discretion of the owner.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Perfect weekend

We were in town for a Celebration of Life. The house was a perfect place for all 8 of us to stay. We were even able to host a few relatives with all of the leftovers afterwards in the backyard. We especially enjoyed our visits from Herman.

To put it simply - absolutely fantastic. The house and property is absolutely amazing and Sue and Tyler's attention to detail truly is second to none. The location is (obviously) perfect for a stay in wonderful Mystic. At first I was concerned with only street parking but you are able to work it out easily and the street never really fills up. The back yard area is better than it even looks in pictures and the bedrooms and kitchen areas were immaculate. We were there for Conn College Fall Weekend and couldn't have chosen a better place. If you are looking for a place to stay in Mystic - look no further - you will not regret this place. Thanks again to our wonderful hosts.

The Sea Captains Home offered our familiy a special retreat just a few blocks from the center of Mystic. We stayed here with our extended family--my sister's family and ours--adults and teens. There was plenty of space including access to the beautiful deck, yard, and firepit. Our kids enjoyed walking in and out of town on their own. Sue was incredibly gracious and responsive. She has decorated the home with love and sweet touches of color and tasteful design.

Great house in a great location

The Captain Morgan house in downtown Mystic is the perfect place to stay for anyone looking for comfortable accommodations in a prime spot. The house itself was unique, clean, and had a beautiful back deck overlooking the manicured back yard. We were able to walk everywhere downtown from Mystic Pizza to the drawbridge, without needing to move our cars the whole weekend…a huge plus! We would not hesitate to book this house with Susan again!
