Mystic Area Waterfront with Dock

Enjoy a Coastal New England vacation from your charming arts and crafts era waterfront cottage. The house's many windows make it bright and airy, with a fantastic breeze coming off the water. You are in perfect location to paddle to nearby beaches with complimentary use of kayaks and paddle boards, and guests with a boat will enjoy the convenience of the dock. The home's Stonington location is close by to attractions in Mystic and Watch Hill, so there is lots to do. Saltwater Farm Vineyard is just up the cove from the Cottage and Stonington Marina is three doors down.

The cottage features three upstairs bedrooms and a first floor sunroom with a queen bed. The master bedroom has a queen size bed, the second bedroom has a queen bed, and the third bedroom has twin bed with a single trundle bed beneath it. There is also a queen size sleep sofa in the living room. All white linens are professionally laundered, including fresh duvets. The floors are all hard surface with beach vacation in mind. The bathrooms have marble and tile surfaces, and the large capacity washer and dryer make washing large loads of beach towels easy.

The kitchen is equipped with cookware, a Cuisinart food processor and Kitchen Aid stand mixer. There is an outdoor gas grill. The dining rooms many windows make it an inviting place to to eat, or if you prefer, dine outside on the deck, or under the pergola. The living room is comfortable and a great place to play the board games kept in the big armoire, that also serves as beach towel storage.

The outdoor spaces include an upper deck ideal for private sunbathing, a large lower deck perfect for cocktails and a patio with pergola for shade. The dock is a nice place to relax and take in the water view. There is an outdoor fireplace by the water that is great for making 'Smores for the kids. The yard is spacious and is planted with apple and pear trees, as well as blueberry bushes.

The best thing about the place is the easy access to Sandy Point and Napatree Beaches, accessible by boat just outside the cove. For nature lovers, Wequetequock Cove and Barn Island offer a wealth of bird species including Osprey and Herons. You will truly have a spectacular day on the water.

From mid-summer on, you can easily catch Blue Crabs right from the dock. Kids will enjoy catching snapper blues in the cove with light tackle. Serious fisherman will love the world class Striper, Fluke, Black Sea Bass and Blackfish fishing at famous spots like Watch Hill Reef, Sugar Reef and Fisher's Island that are just outside the cove.

When you've had your fill being on the water visit local attractions like the Mystic Seaport, the Mystic Aquarium, Foxwoods Resort and Casino, or Mohegan Sun. Stonington, Mystic, Westerly and Watch Hill have amazing restaurants and bars, boutique shops and art galleries to enjoy. Coming and going is easy with off street parking for three cars.

Fantastic & Charming
This property was absolutely lovely! We stayed off season and enjoyed the deck, fire pit, and dock. Beds are super comfortable, house was clean and kitchen was well stocked with everything we’d need for a seafood feast. Paul was responsive, friendly and helpful in every way.

Terrific place and great location! The host has thought of everything for a comfortable stay. I would definitely recommend this rental. Just something to be aware of, while cottage has the capacity to sleep 10 at 10, it's a snug fit.

Thank You for Such a Heartfelt Family Time Together!
This was our first Vrbo experience and it was even better than we had anticipated. It was in a lovely, quiet neighborhood with quick access to so many sites in the area, including Mystic Seaport. The house was well appointed with excellent cookware and endless hot water. We enjoyed our time around the dinner table and the picnic table on the back porch. The host was always attentive to our questions. To quote my 90-year-old father-in-law, "I've had many great experiences in my life, but this was the best." Many thanks to everyone involved.

Beautiful family cottage
Lovely summer cottage on a quiet cove, the perfect spot for fishing, kayaking, or watching others do so with a drink in your hand. Great yard for kids to play, special game room in its own outbuilding, Adirondack chairs and a fire pit at the water. The beds were comfy, and the house was cozy. Loved it.

Charm and Convenience
My family had a wonderful time staying in this charming house over the winter holiday break. Small in square footage but felt very spacious for our group of 4. Paul was very welcoming and quick to resolve an unexpected issue with internet access. Convenient to Stonington Boro, Mystic, and Westerly. Highly recommended!

Enjoyed our stay
We enjoyed our stay at the house but we thought the house was overpriced, but perhaps, due to the location on the water, the rental price was competitive for the area. The yard and waterfront is lovely, particularly the seating area and chiminea by the water. The decks are nice too, as is the annex with the ping pong and football. For the price, the bathrooms, particularly the downstairs one, need improvement in terms of how they look and cleanliness of the shower, particularly the tile grout. Good location but there is road noise as it is right on a highway.

Also, lots of Ice Cream Shops around. Some things were closed we were looking to see. Hartford, Soldier & Sailors Memorial was cool with other stops added. All this & more, did NOT seem, we were pushed to get all of this in. Owners Property tied to Marina, up the street for free rentals & 50% off Power boats. Property, if you have infants maybe bring a gate or two; Clean; Pergola; Game room; Dockside Firepit; Grill, Crab Traps, we did NOT need,& caught 20 min.

Fabulous Host
It was a great place for family to come together from CT, MO, NY and Canada. It was a little more rustic than anticipated. But clean, organized and well stocked with basics. A very friendly host. A valuable item was left behind and Paul drove all the way back from a family event so it could be retrieved before flying out the next day. Above and beyond. Thank you.

Relaxation getaway
We stayed in this area a few years ago on a property also available by Paul. We love the huge if the area and being on the water. We didn’t do too much but that was the whole intent of our getaway. Our dogs loved the property and trying to catch the bunny resident. They also loved the dock to check out the water activities. The house was comfortable and we didn’t want for anything.

The property was as described. The added game room was a pleasant surprise. Although the house is old it was very clean and well taken care of. I wish we had more time so we could have rented a boat to spend time on the water. I would definitely rent again.

Great Getaway
Three couples gathered for a little getaway. The house is small but very comfortable with a great patio for relaxing and another lovely fire pit area by the water. Beds were super comfy, and all the linens and towels (including beach towels) were of excellent quality. We enjoyed dropping in paddle boards and exploring the beauty right out the front door:)

Relaxing vacation in my home town
I had a perfect vacation. I was able to spend 3 weeks enjoying my family and friends in the town I grew up. The house was perfect. Close to the best restaurants and beaches, quiet setting on the cove with a perfect view of two nesting eagles. The house was equipped with all that one would need and Paul checked in to make sure all was going well. I had such a great time, I already have my trip booked for next summer.
