It was absolutely beautiful. Cozy and the location was out of this world. Being able to just walk to the shops and restaurants was wonderful. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.
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.
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!
Great place to stay. Gerard' property are great hosts. This place is beautiful well kept and very clean. Would most diffinately stay there again. Short walk to town.
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!
This house is absolutely perfect for your stay in Mystic! Steps from all the shops and restaurants and the decor fits this little seaport town perfectly. Owners were so nice and communication was top notch! Very clean and all amenities included!! Highly recommended and hope to stay again soon!
This house is lovely, with a beautiful well appointed kitchen and amazing historical charm. It had everything we needed for our stay and the location could not be better. We will definitely be returning!
Very enjoyable family Christmas at Captain’s house in Mystic
This property made it easy for us to enjoy our time at Christmas - as family traveling from 3-5 hours away to be together. The location is great and the design and style of the home was a good fit for us, and was very accommodating. We look forward to staying again.
Excellent house , close to all the things we wanted to do
The house was beautiful and we really enjoyed exploring the town and walking to most places. There were toys for our child to play with and even books for her to read! The proximity to all the restaurants was our favorite part!
We had a great family reunion for my sisters and I. So much to do, the cittage is beautiful and so well cared for. All kinds of amenities and Gerard couldnt have been more helpful and responsive. Already talking about making this our annual get together!!!
Best location in Mystic & beautifully charming house
The Captains House is such a perfect location - beautiful water views and walking distance to everything! The house is very clean and very well maintained. The kayaks and bikes are a great amenity as well, although unfortunately it was raining during our stay so we didn’t use them. We would love to stay again!
Loved this sweet cozy house in the middle of town! Couldn’t ask for a better location, just steps from the village! Beautiful well appointed house with absolutely everything you need to be comfortable. Wonderful host and communication. Would definitely come back for a longer stay!
This is the third time we have stayed here and it continues to be the best place to stay in Mystic. Its location to all the shops as well as the attractions is perfect. The view right on the water is nice and relaxing and just what a family needs to recharge from the craziness of life!!
Gerard could not have been any more perfect. Thank you so much for an incredible stay.!
I wish I could have stayed longer. Just in town for business and found this charming and comfortable seaside home. Everything I needed and just a short walk to restaurants and shopping. Lovely first floor queen bedroom with attached full bath. This is a water view, historic home with New England charm. I hope to return some day!
We stayed here for a birthday trip and it was such a special experience. The check in was a breeze and the host was very professional and kind. Everything was clean and the sheets and bedding were very nice and soft. The historic nature of the home was was made it the most special- we loved that it was kept intact and all the antique touches. It’s extremely close to the Main Street which is amazing- we could walk to the shops and restaurants easily and it’s still peaceful and quiet. A wonderful trip!
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.
The home is short walk from Mystic town center. Marvelous location. The house was in terrific condition. the host is very responsible, easy to communicate and accommodating. we will be back!
This is my third day at this property, and as always am delighted with my stay. Gerard was in constant communication and had answers to all my questions and needs, although they were few as everything was so well explained upon check-in. This property is impeccably maintained, Beautifully decorated, and has every modern convenience you would need for your stay in beautiful Mystic.You have beautiful views of the water, and almost everything is within walking distance.I look forward to my next visit
