    We had an outstanding time in Mystic. The property was perfect for my wife and me along with my 3 daughters and their spouses. Gerard was incredibly accommodating and responsive.

    We loved our stay here with friends and family. Everything about the house was how it was described and there were many added touches that we appreciated. Communication with Gerard was excellent and we felt welcomed and taken care of. We highly recommend this property!

    The houses were both beautiful. Because of the way it was listed, I did not realize it was 2 houses that are not internally connected. It is listed in the property description but I must have overlooked it. The property is a great location. Plenty of parking. Gerard was a great host. We walked almost everywhere which was nice. This was our first VRBO experience and we will definitely look for other houses / opportunities to book in the future.

    Hosts were communicative and very helpful! The property is beautiful and close to everything you could want to do in Mystic. Great for a larger group to stay and explore or for a wedding party like our group!

    We gathered with extended family for a few nights in October. Cousins, second cousins, aunts, uncles, and a 95-year old great grandmother came together here for a few nights while attending a nearby wedding. This house (really two adjoining townhomes) had it all. Beautifully appointed. Plenty of space (for people AND cars--we had six). Kid and pet friendly (gates for the stairs, high chairs and pack-n-plays, step stools in the bathrooms so kids can reach the faucets). It was amazing. Things I am used to just dealing with at other rentals (lousy showers, no amenities, crappy cookware and dishware) this place clearly took care to address. More attention to detail than I've seen at any other VRBO (and we rent a couple a year). If the actual place isn't enough, the location is second to none. Easily walkable to downtown Mystic and multiple parks along the water. If you forgot anything (and the hosts didn't already anticipate that), there's a CVS steps away (along with a wine and spirits store...for those who are staying with family). I booked the VRBO for the whole extended family and everyone raved about the place, which met our every single need. Gerard was so responsive and accommodating to every request and a pleasure to talk to. I would so happily stay here again if life ever brings us to Mystic again.

    This property was perfect in every way! You could walk to the town and drawbridge as well as minutes to the aquarium and olde village. The host was very attentive and the home was exactly as described. The property also provided such nice extras like makeup remover pads in the bathroom.

    We had a great week! The house easily accommodated several family members ages 5-70. It was an easy walk to downtown Mystic and a good launching place for other day excursions. The hosts were very responsive, but the place was so clean and instructions so clear, we didn’t need much :)
