About this property

Carriage House at 26 Pearl: Private Suite, 3 Minute Walk Downtown & Pet Friendly

  • The Carriage House Large Suite is a fully private, pet-friendly getaway at 26 Pearl Street in the heart of historic Mystic, about a 3 minute walk to downtown shops, restaurants, and the river. Please note, the Carriage House is one building with two separate, private suites. They do not connect internally, and this listing is for the Large Suite only.

    Designed for up to 3 guests, the suite is about 600 sq ft, bright, colorful, and genuinely beautiful, with a king bed plus a full size futon in the living area. You’ll have heat, AC, Wi-Fi, a fridge, and a fireplace.

    The kitchenette is set up for easy meals and coffee, and the bathroom is a real treat, with an oversized soaking tub plus a rain shower, a perfect reset after a day of wandering Mystic.

    Step outside and you’ll see why guests love this place. Both suites open onto a private brick patio surrounded by lush English gardens, with multiple tables for morning coffee or evening wine, plus a BBQ grill and a hammock for relaxed outdoor time. There’s also a large fenced yard, perfect if you’re traveling with a dog or just want a little breathing room and greenery.

    The location makes weekends effortless, walk downtown for dinner, stroll the river, shop, then come back and unwind in the gardens. It’s an ideal setup for girls getaways, wedding weekends, anniversaries, or any trip where you want something charming, peaceful, and close to everything.

    You’re also a short drive to Mystic Seaport Museum, Mystic Aquarium, Olde Mistick Village, and nearby coastal beaches in Connecticut and Rhode Island!

    If you need more space, want two separate suites side by side for a larger group, or would prefer a full standalone home next door on the same property, you can also inquire about the Small Suite, or the Captain William Morgan House.

Fabulous Visit to Mystic!

This property is adorable and so close to the downtown area of Mystic! We loved how the cottage was decorated and truly enjoyed our visit. We had everything we needed for long weekend stay. Check in and check out process was super easy and we loved that our sweet dog Frankie was welcome. We would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again!

Cozy and quaint cottage stay

Susan was exceptional in her hospitality. We enjoyed Herman's presence and his welcome as well as Susan's acceptance of my small senior doxie dog in the cottages. The courtyard adds to the ambiance of a small getaway and was perfect to relax after touring the town. We're grateful for the visit and time Susan took with us!

Check listing

Overall, love, the location and a very cozy spot. The heating was a bit strange and double check the listing because there was only one king bed when you book. Even though the ad makes it seem like there are two king beds. There’s only one.

Love Mystic ❤️

Always have a wonderful experience staying at any one of Susan’s properties! We’ve been coming to Mystic for over 19 years and we call Mystic our happy place and our home away from home. Susan does a great job making us feel welcome and taking care of all of our needs. Her homes are always clean and well stocked. It’s been a pleasure getting to know her over the years. I’m hoping to visit again soon!! 💕

Relaxing Retreat

The Carriage House at 26 Pearl is a charming “home away from home!” Located in the heart of downtown Mystic, steps away from local shops and eateries. Parking on site is ideal since street parking is difficult at times on Main Street and surrounding side streets. The space was clean, comfortable, and provided cozy vibes, both inside the unit and outdoors on the private patio in the English garden. The host, Sue, was very welcoming and helpful upon arrival and throughout our stay. Herman, the resident Golden, was a cheerful assistant “checking in” with us most days! He was very calm when around our small Italian Greyhound in the yard. Would book again at the property if ever in the Mystic area in the future.

Perfect location and beautiful suite.

We stayed here for two nights for a staycation close to home. The location is perfect to walk downtown and be "tourists". The bed was incredibly comfortable, linens were exceptional. The decor and cleanliness were spot on. We would have given it 5 stars but it was VERY Cold inside, The heat is via fireplace and the fireplace went off each night we were there. The owner was willing to move us, but we thought we had the fireplace figured out so we stayed put. The next night when we awoke to the space being 50 degrees inside and the fireplace out again it was to late. There is a little space heater in the closet which we used to take showers and keep the bathroom warm. The only other "complaint" was a nearby dog barked about an hour starting at 7am quite loudly. I would imagine being a small village with neighbors so close there is only so much that can be done. We are typically up at 5am for work, but had seen a concert the night prior getting in very late and were eager to sleep in until our bodies awoke and not by a cold room and a barking dog (again,we could have moved the day prior but thought we had the heater issue fixed AND the dog issue is out of the owners control as I would imagine a nearby neighbor has a large dog and one can only do so much. All in all we would love to try and return and perhaps do one night on a non weekend and stay in the other suite.
