A Mystic(al) Experience

Can't say enough about great things about Kris & Beth's studio. From the stunning view to the gorgeous dogs and hilarious ducks, this location is so charming you'll think you're in an alternate universe of relaxation. Conveniently located less than a 10 minute stroll to restaurants, shops, bars, and boating, you're going to regret not discovering this location sooner.

We had the best time and some much needed R&R. There is no better place to just disconnect and take in the surroundings with the amazing views, incredible sunsets and sunrises, and the best ducks ever (bring watermelon!). Kris and Beth were amazing hosts and we will return soon!!

Beautiful home and wonderful hosts

We had a great stay at Kris and Beth’s place. They were wonderful hosts and have a beautiful property. We had a relaxing weekend, their oysters are amazing, and nights sitting by the pit fire and looking out over the water was peaceful. Highly recommend a long weekend here.

Wonderful stay in Mystic

We truly enjoyed our stay at the apartment. The views are amazing! The apartment is clean and comfortable. It feels much more spacious than a studio apartment. It was a perfect location for what we wanted to do. I would highly recommend it for a couple.

Spectacular Seaside Escape 💕

The 180 degree water view is stunning but the tranquility that view in-vibes is priceless. Absolutely loved this experience waterfront view, homey, comfortable and the location and proximity to downtown made this one of the best VRBO stays. Beth and Kris are wonderful host. We look forward to returning soon.

Mom's Bucket List East Coast RT`

After having planned this roadtrip over the past 5 years with my life partner, he passed away April 2024. My daughter had to work in Pennsylvania in July/August and suggested we meet in Washington DC and do the roadtrip together. She did all the driving and we took our time, relaxing, eating fresh seafood, and visiting lighthouses. Bucket list roadtrip satisfied for mom.

Staying in the studio is like living in a picture postcard...the views are amazing day and night, even when the fog rolled in early one morning. Kris and Beth were perfect hosts, and the ducks and dogs were totally entertaining. Definitely our new place to stay in Mystic!

A Fantastic Retreat

The Studio by the Sea is such a fantastic place to stay. You’re walking distance to the bridge and the center of town, yet you have a peaceful escape any time you need it. The fishing is wonderful, and our little boy loved being able to fish right from the yard. Kris, Beth, and their family are amazingly nice and accommodating. We look forward to our next stay!

Hello!

Why they chose this property

Start the day by watching the sunrise over the water from bed, and end the day by watching the sun set over the marina while roasting marshmallows around the fire pit. If you like to explore, it is a short stroll into town for shopping and dining, or venture further to the Aquarium, Seaport, or Casinos. Feeling outdoorsy? Relax on your private beach, or kayak and fish from the back yard. The Studio is the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Do as much or as little as you like!

What makes this property unique

Mystic is the perfect year round getaway. In the summer you will enjoy the beautiful weather and salty breezes and in the winter enjoy the quintessential holiday activities of a small New England town. We are currently offering customizable excursions on our 30' Cabin cruiser. We will happily shuttle you and your family to Sandy Point, a pristine island preserve/beach or take you out on a fishing adventure. We also offer sunrise and sunset lighthouse cruises with snacks and drinks. Ever been to Block Island? We'll take you there...fishing, exploring, shopping or all three!
Also unique to our property is our oyster hatchery. Feel free to pop down to the dock and say "hello" to the babies, or have a chat while we work.
