Nice place to stay for a family with kids an grandparent's. An independent studio the grandparents
Very good location, close to many attractions and in a quiet street . Good space for children to play and cozy sofa in the living room.I would stay again with My family. I would organize better the silverware, tools for kitchen an pots an pans. They were in many different drawers so had to Open each time, 2 or 3 drawers and cabinets to find things and had only 2 glasses for wine, no kitchen cloths towels.

GREAT LOCATION IN MYSTIC
Great location with its close proximity to Mystic aquarium, Mystic Seaport Museum, Old Mystic Village shops, downtown Mystic (drawbridge/shops), restaurants, etc… Also close enough for some great day trips to places like Newport, RI (shopping, trolley-Breakers Mansion tour, etc) The lower level bedroom is NOT private from the lower level living room/kitchenette- wish we had understood that before coming. LOTS of steps/stairs- so be aware of that if mobility is a concern. A/C in bedrooms are just bad… although fairly ‘new’ looking they are very noisy and don’t cool the rooms properly. Communication with property managers was tense at times. Don’t contact them unless it’s between 10am-5pm. Period. Bathrooms upstairs are teeny/squeezy… could be issues for those needing more room. No hand towels- but plenty of towels, washcloths, blankets. No kitchen dish towels. Despite some things we didn’t ‘like’ - we made it all work- and especially loved the location.

Convenient and Comfortable in Mystic - close to CGA
The listing was as presented and there was plenty of space to gather and relax. The beds are VERY soft which may or may not make sleeping comfortable. If not for cooler temps the deck area was very nice. Front steps and entry to upstairs would be difficult for anyone with ambulatory issues. I would also ask in advance if the owners could remove all of the air fresheners/diffusers if you have allergy concerns. Sinuses were flared before we realized this. Easy on/off freeway to CGA or general area. Would be too convenient to the ice cream shop during regular season (it was closed during our stay in October). Be sure to pay attention to the availability times for contacting owners (10am-5pm). We would recommend this property.

Great property for family enjoying mystic
Our family of 5 (2 adults 3 children 3-9 yo) stayed here for a week and the place is great , plenty of rooms and beds with large deck on quite street , the place has a whole inlaw apartment in basement with its own full kitchen , and bathroom , great space for grandparents or a small , family to vacation together and have, private space when needed. The house is a 3 minute drive from aquarium, mistic village, and mystic seaport , as a family I would recommend this house to anyone looking to enjoy mystic area, very convient for everything and there is a ice cream shop at bottom of street that is about a 2 minute walk , great place and easy to keep kids busy during the vacation
