Super Spot!

We had a great week in this beautiful victorian in Mystic, even more lovely in person than the pictures online! Perfect location to walk to so many restaurants and shops. Our family of 5 adults, plus a one year old, had plenty of space with the 3 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms. Kitchen was well stocked for meals, plus the large dining room was a great spot for eating and lots of indoor game nights (heatwave kept us mainly inside). Host was a terrific communicator and made sure we were well looked after during our week. Highly recommend this place for your Mystic adventure!

Better than advertised!

Our stay in Groton/Mystic was fantastic thanks to this fantastic property! Gerard keeps a pristine home with every charm we could have hoped for. We dined inside and outside, slept comfortably upstairs and down, and enjoyed many walks to town immediately around the corner. We have already started thinking about our next trip north and without question, this home is at the top of the shortest list!

A very pleasant weekend with our family

The property was excellent as described. The location was very convenient, on a cold January day, to the shopping on Main Street. And Mystic as always is very interesting and a beautiful walk in the old sections. Highly recommended.

We had a fabulous time staying in Gerard's beautiful, historic, Victorian house. Super clean and comfortable. Gerard was great to work with. The house was perfect for our group of 7 older adults staying for a college homecoming weekend. Just a short walk to the main street shops in Mystic. We look forward to coming back again!

Magical time in Mystic!

My family of five spent the long Easter weekend in Mystic and had the most amazing time. The home is so well-acquainted. My family had room to spread out, but also enjoyed the cozy living space to all be together. Gerard is the most wonderful host. He touched base at check-in and his company provides thoughtful amenities at the property. We would definitely go back!

Exceptional property

Loved our stay here! The house is actually larger than it seems in the photos. Plenty of room for everyone. Three full baths are quite a treat! The house was spotless and its location to downtown Mystic cannot be beat. Literally, a 5 minute walk and you're in the center of town. No worries about parking when going out to dinner on a busy night in town. Check in and communication with Gerard was perfect. He's quick to respond to all questions! Would rent again without hesitation.

Best house in Mystic

The town is great for adults and families. There's plenty of places in Mystic and the surrounding area to eat, shop, and sites to see for everyone. Then there's the house we stayed in, you couldn't ask for a nicer house and location. Everything we did in Mystic proper we walked to. We did have great weather for walking. The house was wonderful, it was clean and well maintained, it was spacious and there was plenty of furniture, inside and outside to relax. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked if you choose to cook your meals. There's also a couple of outside patios and a porch to relax or have a meal after grilling outside. Maybe the best VRBO home we've ever stayed at. Lastly, you can tell the owner wants you to have the best experience you've ever had. He checked in with us once or twice, without being nosy or pushy, to make sure we were happy and assure us if there was anything we needed, just ask. He gets right back to you.

This is hands down the best VBRO property I have ever rented. The decor is sophisticated, the furniture including the beds are very comfortable. The linens are high quality and plentiful. The arrangement was conducive to gathering both inside and out. The kitchen was extremely well equipped with high end appliances. We cooked several complicated meals, nothing we needed was missing. The ‘basic’ supplies of coffee,tea,sugar and even spices are more and generous. The host,Gerard, was very prompt in communicating. I highly recommend this property. You will not be disappointed!
