Overall, the property was extremely clean and well stocked with a beautiful view and very good location to downtown shops and restaurants. Even though close to downtown, the area was very quiet. One should note that the stairs to second floor are quite steep and narrow. Would highly recommend and would book for a return trip.

The location of the house was perfect. We only used our car once in 5 days. We walked everywhere and fully enjoyed downtown Mystic— it’s lovely shops, restaurants and beautiful views. It was a step into history to live at the Captain’s home. Many framed pieces told us about the history of the house and Mystic. The view right across the street was a beautiful part of the river. Beds and linens were very comfy. We had much more than enough space for the 4 of us gals. The kitchen was well stocked, and the clothes washer and dryer were easy to use. Showers were perfect. The stairway to the upstairs bedrooms is steeper than in modern homes, and the eaves in the upstairs bedrooms could make it uncomfortable for tall folks.Everything about the home was as advertised. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Mystic Riverfront Captain’s Home.

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!

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.

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!
