Absolutely 10 out of 10! The views were spectacular, the studio was immaculate, and Kris and Beth were so friendly and helpful. Added bonus was meeting their 2 dogs, Max and Ginger and being entertained by their ducks! This was the perfect place to stay and hope to be back!

We absolutely loved our stay here! Kris and Beth were great with communication from the start and made us feel very welcome. We got to meet a lot of the family and I’m usually a shy person but they were all wonderful people that you can instantly click with and have a great conversation. They provided everything we needed and more. The ducks became our favorite part of the morning, but the water view and fall foliage was breathtaking! Even at night the water is calm and the stars are very visible! The shower which I believe Kris designed and built himself was a work of art and was so relaxing after a day of being out in Mystic! Overall this is a great place to stay with great people and we wished we would've spent more time on the property and are sad to go so soon!

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.

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.

Hello!
We have lived in the Stonington arera for our entire lives, and are so excited to share this beautiful place with you. We know that you will love it as much as we do.
Can't wait to meet you!

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.
