    You could not find a more convenient or relaxing location! 1/2 block from downtown Mystic’s shopping and dining, and a beautiful view of the Mystic River across the street. Nights outside on the patio were magical. The house itself is full of charm and history, although I would caution that the stairs to the second floor are very narrow and steep. Older people might find the climb difficult, and heavy suitcases are difficult to maneuver. Other than that, when we had questions, the host responded quickly and courteously, and we fully enjoyed our stay.

    Wonderful historic home in fantastic Mystic location! Loved the addition of the fire table on the patio and walking to downtown Mystic every day. A little too close to Mystic Drawbridge ice cream ; )

    The property was clean and meticulously maintained. When it snowed, the service was there to shovel before we got out of bed. It's a quirky house, thanks to the age, but it's so cozy. And you cannot beat the location. We enjoyed it so much!

    We had a wonderful stay and the location was perfect! This was our first time in Mystic, CT and we will definitely be back. The walk to the shops area was less than 3 minutes. The Captain's House is charming and has a lot of history.Our arrival instructions were spot on and very easy. Gerard is a wonderful host and very responsive to all our needs. The house has all the amenities needed for a wonderful stay!

    Incredible in every way. Ideal location, beautiful view and the perfect combination of historic charm and modern convenience. Gerard was available though we never needed a thing. The early check-in and late check-out gave us lots of time for strolling the waterfront and shops. We absolutely hope to be back!

    We had an excellent stay at the Captain’s House. It was comfortable, well-appointed and exceptionally clean. We loved sitting on the patio and enjoyed our view of the Mystic River. It was great to walk easily to nearby restaurants and cafes. Gerard was an attentive and helpful hist. I highly recommend!

    First, what a great location to everything. But most importantly what a great house! Came here for my bestie's 40th and she absolutely loves old houses. The house alone made her birthday. Then the host is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for letting us stay, Gerard! We will definitely book this house any time we come to Mystic.

    Not only perfect location, but perfect in every way. Second time at this location, but once again it checks all the boxes. Gerard was always available for questions, not that we had many as the house was fully equipped to suit all our needs and instruction manual was precise. Large rooms ,pristine environment with beautiful kitchen, fully stocked . We were fortunate to have amazing weather so the beautiful outdoor seating area provided many afternoons enjoying the sunshine and views of the water. The close proximity to most shops and restaurants left us doing little driving. Looking forward to our return visit
