This is hands down the best VBRO property I have ever rented. The decor is sophisticated, the furniture including the beds are very comfortable. The linens are high quality and plentiful. The arrangement was conducive to gathering both inside and out. The kitchen was extremely well equipped with high end appliances. We cooked several complicated meals, nothing we needed was missing. The ‘basic’ supplies of coffee,tea,sugar and even spices are more and generous. The host,Gerard, was very prompt in communicating. I highly recommend this property. You will not be disappointed!

Fantastic property! Extraordinary location in Mystic, clean, spacious, and able to easily hold our family group that came from 4 states. Gerard was very communicative and available to answer any questions.Our group mostly adults with 2 teenagers but I noticed at least 1 high chair, toys, games, and other available items which might be helpful for a stay with children.Definitely will stay again.

Super Spot!

We had a great week in this beautiful victorian in Mystic, even more lovely in person than the pictures online! Perfect location to walk to so many restaurants and shops. Our family of 5 adults, plus a one year old, had plenty of space with the 3 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms. Kitchen was well stocked for meals, plus the large dining room was a great spot for eating and lots of indoor game nights (heatwave kept us mainly inside). Host was a terrific communicator and made sure we were well looked after during our week. Highly recommend this place for your Mystic adventure!
