Modern Cape Downtown Mystic

10/10 Excellent

"This charming Cape Cod in the center of Historic Old Mystic was perfect for our two week stay. From the communication with Stan from the beginning, to the champagne, treats, and music upon our arrival, and the gorgeous area that is Mystic- we enjoyed every bit of our trip. The home was very clean, cozy, and met all of our needs. Stan provided plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, soaps, and cleaning products for our stay. That is so rare when renting homes these days! The home is located in walking distance to both Olde Mystic Village and downtown Mystic, as well as the Mystic Seaport Museum- directly up the street. Take the walk- it's so beautiful!Mystic is an idyllic New England town. With beautiful trails close to the home that we took daily walks on with our pups, Olde Mystic Village shopping and dining is so fun to explore, and downtown along the Mystic River for more boutiques and restaurants- you really can't go wrong with a weekend stay or a 2 week stay, like we did. There's plenty to do and explore, including the gorgeous close towns of Watch Hill, RI, Old Saybrook, CT, and Madison, CT, and many others. We could stay longer to keep exploring!We definitely want to come back again. New England in the Fall is a gorgeous time- we didn't want to leave! So if you're thinking about coming to Mystic, think no more. Make the trip! Stan is an excellent host!"
