Quintessential coastal New England

Walk out your front door and enjoy quintessential coastal New England. This family friendly house is found on the quietest of side streets. Grab a coffee at the famous Sift bakery and watch the boats navigate the historic Bascule Drawbridge. Meander down the side streets along the placid Mystic River with breathtaking views of the Seaport and the Charles W. Morgan. The Harbor House is perfect for that weekend stay or perhaps a longer get away to enjoy the best of Mystic.

Located at the top of a hill, three blocks from the river, this three bedroom, two full bath two level cape has on the first floor an open layout, pull-out queen-size couch, and fully stocked kitchen. Several large new windows flood the space with light. Master bedroom has a dreamy king-size bed, and secondary bedroom has two twin beds and writing desk. Enjoy morning coffee or afternoon drinks on the front deck in a quiet, off-the-main road neighborhood. This single family house has a lovely yard that is big enough for lawn games. On the bottom garden level, you have a full studio with kitchenette and a separate full bathroom. The living room has a queen-sized pull out couch.

The best aspect of this house is that it's centrally located and within walking distance of all of the fun in Mystic. You get the best of both worlds, walking distance without traffic noise; our street is quiet even during the high tourist season.

Barbecue some dinner at the house or go out to enjoy the many happy hours at restaurants, all walking distance from the house.

Easy 24 hour check-in and check-out is possible with keypad entry on the front door.

We include 2 off-street parking spots, with additional parking in the street.

Best location in mystic
We had such a great time in mystic while staying at this house. We had a 1 and 3 year old and the super short walk to downtown was fantastic for us and them. The two bedrooms are very spacious. We fit a blow up toddler bed and a pack in play in the room with two double beds with ease. The primary bedroom is also spacious even with a king size bed. The kitchen/living room area was homey and the big table was great for family dinners. We also took advantage of the bistro table on the deck out front. The one suggestion I’d say is to add a deadbolt on the main door. The keypad entry is so easy and so great to not have to carry any keys for the house but with kids, it was a draw for them to open the door when we were in the house which was a little too easy. We just put a chair in front of the door and the problem was solved but just something for future families to know. All in all a great experience. Would highly recommend this property to families and couples. The location just can’t be beat!

Perfect Location!
This two bedroom property was perfect for our few days in Mystic. Located in a quaint little neighborhood within walking distance from Mystic Pizza. The house was so comfortable in every way, complete with everything one would need including beach towels and boogie boards for our day at Misquamicut Beach. Highly recommend Sift Bakery with its fabulous breads, pastries and desserts. Captain Daniel Packer Inne was another new venture for us with its old history. A big thank you to our hosts! Love the property with attention to the details that made our visit to Mystic very memorable. Thank you!!

Perfect Location for Visiting Mystic
Chris & Ale’s two-bedroom cottage was better than expected! Spotlessly clean, nicely furnished, with comfortable beds and a good bathroom with great water pressure. The hosts left OJ & milk & coffee & water & cooking oils & spices — though only being there for two days meant we did not really cook. The cottage is located in an extremely quite area, but a less than 5 minute walk to Mystic town center, with many restaurants & shops. It’s a very quick drive to the Mystic Seaport Museum — which everyone should visit. Overall this cozy cottage was just perfect for a visit to the Mystic area. We would definitely return.

It exceeded our expectations. Very quite street while being 2 min walk to town center. The fridge was stocked with local milk, OJ and eggs. Perfect for a quick breakfast on a rainy day. Beds and pillows are comfy and fresh. It treated us very well during this cold and rainy memorial’s day weekend. Thank you.

Perfect Mystic Oasis
This property was the perfect place to stay for a peaceful fun filled vacation. The property is excellent in that it is decorated in a sophisticated manner, expertly laid out, conveniently located to any and all things you might want to do in Mystic (plenty of walkable activities and others are a quick drive away), and has everything you need. What's more, the owners are great with communication -- both the instructions and welcome book included within the house were exactly what's needed, and the owners respond promptly to messages. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay (with my children) and when we return to Mystic we will book this same house again.

Excellent spot for couples and small families!
This place was a find! Walking distance to shops and restaurants, on a quiet street, and the space was impeccably clean. We are a family of four and it was perfect for us for a long weekend visit, though we would love to come back for a full week and see more of the area. The owners were very responsive and the house itself has some nice features like the heat blower in the bathroom installed directly above the shower curtain so you never feel cold when you get out of the shower, beautiful dishes and sharper image knives, and the softest towels and sheets, with Hershey kisses left on everyone’s pillows upon arrival. We did not want to leave and will be recommending this property to friends and family!

This was our first experience using a VRBO. There were no hidden surprises, and the home was exactly as represented online. Communication with the owner was simple and their responses were very prompt. The home was super clean and the location was very close to downtown as desired. I would definitely stay at this VRBO again and am already contemplating the next visit. This home is perfect if you are looking for a 2 bedroom home that is close to downtown. It truly accommodates up to 6 people for sleeping accomodations and the home is well maintained and current with WiFi, security and cable. The kitchen is completely stocked with all appliances you could want. Terrific place!!
