Fantastic property with amazing views
Beautiful property. Exceptionally well furnished, clean and comfortable house - a very real home from home. Prime location close to the water. Amazing views and sunsets. Glori was very helpful with advice before and during our stay. We really enjoyed our short stay and hope to be able to return one day.

Family Visit
The home was perfect and in a wonderful location. Only a few miles from downtown mystic. You could go into town and do some exploring of the restaurants, shops and bars which is definitely well worth it or you could hang out, enjoy the awesome views and go for quiet walks. I have used a lot of VRBO's and Air B & B's in the past and this is definitely one of my favorites

Magical
We had an amazing time at this home. Mason's Island is a beautiful part of Mystic and this house cannot be beat. The view is everything!! But the house also delivers. The kitchen is amazing - we cooked a small Thanksgiving meal while there and we had more than enough available to us to make that happen. The rooms are set up to be cozy and enjoy the amazing views. The outside is nicely done with plenty to enjoy even in the colder months. Glori was delightful to work with - her list of things to know and activities to enjoy show how much she cares about her guests enjoying their stay. My whole family loved it - kids to adults - and we are all hoping to be able to return someday soon. Just a great experience all around!

Found the Impossible
This home is the rental I always dreamed of. Beautiful home - unbelievably well stocked - perfect location in a private, secluded area but within minutes of Mystic. Large yard for enjoying games - spacious sunroom that is so close to the water that you feel like you could dip your toes in the water while sitting there. Glori was wonderful and made sure everything was well tended to. We can’t wait to go back.

About the host

Host profile image
***** ****
My wife and I live out of state. We use the house when we can and eventually plan to retire here. Our dachshund is a devoted Steelers fan

Why they chose this property

My grandparents built this house in 1946 when there were only a few people on the Island. They were able to get an absolutely ideal location. I have been coming here since the 1950s. We have continually updated the house and have had it professionally decorated. We don't put very much away, so our guests will feel that they are in a real home, not a rental

What makes this property unique

Everybody who walks into the house is taken by the views and the way that it fits naturally into the setting. It is very well decorated but has a relaxed feel that makes it very comfortable. The sounds of the water and wildlife are simply incredible. The coziness does not mean antiquated. The electronics are incredible and easy to use. Security is foremost with digital door lock, security system, driveway surveillance, smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, and thermostats which are integrated and computer controlled. Home theater, stereo, and internet are very reliable and easy to use. Very clear instructions cover all aspects of the house, and a large notebook contains an exhaustive compilation of things to do.
