About this property

Charming, Historic, 4BR 3BA Seaside Mystic Getaway, Walk To Seaport

Welcome to our beautifully renovated Historic Riverside home, nestled in the picturesque, coastal town of Mystic, Connecticut. Originally built in the late 1800s, our home has been thoughtfully restored to maintain its classic New England charm while also offering modern amenities and a touch of luxury.

But the real highlight of our property is its location. Tucked away on a quiet street just steps from the Mystic Seaport Museum, you'll have the best of both worlds: a peaceful and spacious indoor oasis to relax and entertain in, and the opportunity to explore the local area and all it has to offer. Take a scenic 5-minute walk along the river to reach the bustling downtown area, complete with charming shops, delicious restaurants, and stunning views of the water.

Back at the house, our fully stocked kitchen has everything you need to cook and dine in, including basic cooking essentials like coffee, tea, and condiments. The main house boasts three bedrooms, with two on the second floor (one queen bed and one full bed) and one on the third floor (two single beds). The fourth bedroom is located in the separate cottage, just a few steps from the main house. This charming self-contained unit features a cozy bunk bed (full on bottom, single on top), a full bathroom, and a smart TV with a river view.

Guest Access & Amenities

As our guest, you’ll have exclusive access to the entire property, including the main house, cottage, and outdoor spaces. Enjoy meals on the spacious deck with a grill area, or simply unwind in the peaceful surroundings. For outdoor adventures, we provide bikes and kayaks—perfect for exploring the area by land or water.

We’re here to make your stay as enjoyable as possible! Feel free to reach out with any questions or special requests. We’re happy to offer recommendations to help you experience the best of Mystic.

Prime Location

Our location offers easy access to everything Mystic has to offer. The river is just steps away—ideal for kayaking, with boats available for guest use. The renowned Mystic Seaport Museum is right next door, while the Mystic Aquarium, charming diners, and local attractions are all within walking distance.

Parking & Transportation

Parking is hassle-free, with space for up to three cars in the driveway and additional street parking available. Getting around Mystic is easy whether you choose to walk, bike, kayak, drive, or take an Uber.

Accommodations & Amenities

Great location and gorgeous property.

My family and friends stayed for two nights. The house was super clean, well appointed, close to the main strip, and communicating with the property manager was super easy. The street was quiet and being able to have your doggo with you made this spot pretty perfect. Would love to visit again!

Great location to explore Mystic!

The location of the property was perfect. We could easily walk to town right along the river. Also to the Seaport which was right near the house. The house was spotless, stocked with essentials, and the beds were comfortable. A perfect place to stay in Mystic! Gerard, the property manager was great. He quickly responded to any questions and needs.

Great house and location

We hosted family for a week and the house could not have been more accommodating or convenient to downtown. We were able to walk to every location we wanted to in the downtown area. Steps away from being able to use the kayaks was a great way to start the morning. The house was in great shape and we had plenty of privacy on the back patio. Communication with the owner was excellent throughout the week when we had questions. We will definitely consider this house again when we come back to Mystic!

Flawless rental

Great location - able to walk to all Mystic attractions. House clean and well stocked. Only need to provide food. Nice having four bedrooms. Effortless check out is nice compared to most rentals. Only need to run dishwasher before leaving. They take care of everything else, even the trash. It is like staying at a hotel.

Wedding weekend

The house was perfect for our weekend stay - great location, clean and well set up. Communication and check in process couldn't have been easier. Nice to have a "private" separate guest house - a real bonus. Easy walk to town with all its shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again when visiting the area.

Wonderful New England Charmer

We LOVED this little house. It was super close to the historic Mystic area, right behind the Mystic Maritime museum and so much more. The house was comfortable and so nicely appointed. I really appreciated the little separate unit in the back yard that had a 1st floor bathroom. If we plan a trip back to Mystic, we would definitely pick this adorable charmer again. The host was excellent also. Very responsive to any needs we had. We were able to bring our pups along which was a big deal for us. We only stay were our pups are welcome. 5 stars isn't really enough! Just an overall great experience
