About this property

3-bedroom vacation home just a 5-min walk to Main Street, Mystic

*PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE OVERVIEW & DESCRIPTION BEFORE BOOKING!

The Iconic Dutch Bell is a historic home built in 1906 to be the waiting room and ticket sales for the Trolley riders when Randall's Wharf was the Trolley barn. Completely renovated and updated in 2021, this property offers the ultimate standard in downtown living with privacy and sophistication and the vibrant pulse of Mystic just steps away.

Mystic's beautiful coastline is where you can find your ideal getaway spot at this lovely three-bedroom retreat. Situated less than a 5-min walk to Main Street, Mystic (Drawbridge, Ice Cream) and steps away from some of the regions most renowned restaurants, bakeries and nightlife, you'll be immersed in the rich maritime history and quaint New England atmosphere.

Keep connected with the free WiFi, and enjoy the convenience of a fully stocked kitchen, complete with a stove, oven, refrigerator, grill, and all the necessary appliances and utensils to prepare delicious meals.

When it's time to explore, venture just an 8-minute drive to the Seaport, a 19-minute drive to the Foxwoods Resort Casino or a 24-minute drive to the Mohegan Sun Casino for exciting entertainment, gaming or award-winning golf courses. Back at the property, keep the little ones entertained with the selection of games and books, or take advantage of the provided baby gate and travel crib for a stress-free family vacation.

Each room is equipped with smart TV's and Amazon Alexa/Echo's so you can check on the weather or play sleep sounds or white noise. Out back, we've created a new, bluestone private patio nestled in the trees for al fresco dining. Off the front you will find a side deck for grilling and a beautifully landscaped area with a year-round fire pit for seating, relaxing and people-watching!

Please note : Due to the proximity to local restaurants, eateries and bars, there may be residual noise/music durning nicer weather. If you are experiencing louder than average noise please notify us via cell. There is a noise ordinance for downtown Mystic on weekends and we can help alleviate it quickly. We have a ring doorbell installed on the rear entrance which is video enabled when guests arrive or depart. We use this feature only in the event of an incident and they are deleted every 30 days. If you have a concern please let us know in advance.

Excellent, Top Notch

Our stay at the Dutch Bell was nothing short of amazing! The house is beautiful and well appointed. The location to the water and downtown could be any better. Our hosts were extremely responsive and helpful during it stay. We will be visiting here again, one of the best VRBO's we have had the pleasure of staying in.

Overall my family had a great time and enjoyed the property. It's nicely updated, good amenities like the fire pit and a great location. Some things that could be improved was better cleaning, cobwebs in some places, soap despenser empty in 1 bedroom and none of the TV remotes had working batteries.All relatively minor things. That being said Jon was responsive and easy to communicate with and we enjoyed our trip.

Friends and Family

Great location, clean and perfectly suited to our group with 3 bedrooms and baths for each. Visited for an event at USCGA which is a short drive away and comfortably hosted friends from school and our family from west coast. The younger generation could walk to fun places close by while we stayed in and enjoyed the cozy fire in living room. Great breakfast at popover. Hosts were communicative and super and everything was great!

Great house - great location!

This was a comfortable house with fantastic proximity to great food and walking distance to shopping and attractions. The best oysters I’ve ever eaten were only two doors away!

Great homey location in downtown Mystic

Our first empty nester Thanksgiving in Mystic, CT was wonderful! We could walk to downtown, and many attractions were only a short drive. The Dutch Bell was warm and cozy, particularly with the gas fireplace on a cold rainy day. Everything needed for a comfortable stay (long or short term) was provided, including a lovely dog park next to the marina just outside our door. We're long term Vrbo renter's and would highly recommend the Dutch Bell!

Excellent host

My sisters and I rented this house for a 60th birthday get away. The house was perfectly located so that we were able to walk everywhere. Shopping, lunch and dinner. The house itself was not only beautiful and clean but it had every amenity you might need. Would definitely consider coming back in the future !

Amazing stay!

The property is amazing. The photos really do not do it justice. It's way bigger than I imagined. 6 adults and a child had so much space to hang out and coexist. The location could not be better. Everything is walkable. It's next to one of the best cocktail bars in America too (Port of Call).

5 star house

The house itself is beautiful! Bedrooms are huge, had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. The location you can not beat however there are other rentals around the property. Each night we would get harassed by locals as they much have known it is a VRBO. Nothing the owners or anyone could do about it, mentioned only if you are traveling with kids. We would stay here again.

Just as beautiful as the pictures!

This home truly feels like your own second home. Wonderfully equipped with every possible thoughtful ammenity. Bedrooms were large with beautiful en-suite bathrooms and comfy beds. Kitchen is beautiful and has everything you could want. Just a top notch home in the middle of Mystic. There is some street noise but that’s to be expected based on the location

It's perfect

It is one of the best appointed houses we've stayed at. It has comfortable seating, comfortable lighting, plenty of charm. The hosts provide extras like coffee, nondairy creamer in the fridge, and packets of hot chocolate. They even include bath bombs for the tub. It's walkable to a lot with easy parking. I don't always leave reviews, but this one deserves it. You can hear people and cars right outside because it's located on a main road next to many restaurants, but that's what you get with the convenience of that kind of location. It's lovely.

We love our annual stay at thw Dutch Bell! The location is perfect for walking to Main Street to enjoy our favorite spots including Mystic Pizza and Sift Bakery. Parking at the property is super convenient, which is a plus. The home is incredibly comfortable for our group (4 adults, 3 kids), and we enjoy spending time together in the open space 1st floor. The sleeping arrangements are super comfortable and each bedroom having it's own full bathroom is perfect for us. We hope to stay again next year!

About the host

Hosted by Jon Sabrowski

Host profile image
I'm a very blessed father of 3 boys and a beautiful "wandering" wife who has our family on the move every chance we get! We love to travel and as a guest at VRBO and other vacation homes, we always treat them as our own and usually pick up a few great ideas in which we incorporate into our properties. We have come to appreciate the little details that make every stay enjoyable. I hope to give our guests the same experience when hosting them.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this home for many reasons, including the location. Park your car and you may not use it for the rest of the weekend! If you’re looking for a quiet getaway or prefer the sound of crickets to the sound of laughter or background music, ask us about our other local properties! Due to the proximity to downtown and the outdoor dining scene with rooftop dining and live music, THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE YOU'LL HEAR IT, especially in the summer months. The restaurants usually stop serving before 10, however, there may be residual noise. We have Amazon Echo's in every room for checking on the weather or playing sleep sounds at night.
