*PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE OVERVIEW & DESCRIPTION BEFORE BOOKING!
The Iconic Dutch Bell is a historic home built in 1906 to be the waiting room and ticket sales for the Trolley riders when Randall's Wharf was the Trolley barn. Completely renovated and updated in 2021, this property offers the ultimate standard in downtown living with privacy and sophistication and the vibrant pulse of Mystic just steps away.
Mystic's beautiful coastline is where you can find your ideal getaway spot at this lovely three-bedroom retreat. Situated less than a 5-min walk to Main Street, Mystic (Drawbridge, Ice Cream) and steps away from some of the regions most renowned restaurants, bakeries and nightlife, you'll be immersed in the rich maritime history and quaint New England atmosphere.
Keep connected with the free WiFi, and enjoy the convenience of a fully stocked kitchen, complete with a stove, oven, refrigerator, grill, and all the necessary appliances and utensils to prepare delicious meals.

Off the front you will find a side deck for grilling and a beautifully landscaped area with a year-round fire pit for seating, relaxing and people-watching!

Our host was welcoming and extremely responsive. The house was the perfect location to enjoy down Mystic and surrounding area. The accommodations are pristine and comfortable.
I have been walking by this house for the past 30 years. I am so happy we had the chance to stay here and see how nice the inside is. This is a great location. The owners are awesome! They thought of everything and went an extra mile to ensure the house was equipped with everything one may need and more. Great house, location and owners. I will rent again if available.
Our stay here was incredible. The location was perfect and walking distance to everything around downtown(even with 3 kids under 5). I would HIGHLY recommend this place if you’re looking for a very clean, updated, safe place to stay!!
Lovely well maintained older home. Very comfortable. Nicely decorated and well stocked w essentials in the kitchen and extra pillows/blankets in bedrooms. Very nice linens & towels. Location perfect for walking to shops/restaurants and our favorite bakery Sift. Owner very responsive. Very clear information on codes, parking, etc Will be back
Welcoming atmosphere! Clean and ready for us! Host was very responsive to info needed! Also, property manager was responsive to our needs as well! It made for an enjoyable weekend with my sisters! It was my turn to select a destination for our annual sisters’ weekend!
This house is perfect for a family. They had a high chair, gate for the stars and nothing insanely breakable laying around. The location is amazing and John was a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be returning!
We love our annual stay at thw Dutch Bell! The location is perfect for walking to Main Street to enjoy our favorite spots including Mystic Pizza and Sift Bakery. Parking at the property is super convenient, which is a plus. The home is incredibly comfortable for our group (4 adults, 3 kids), and we enjoy spending time together in the open space 1st floor. The sleeping arrangements are super comfortable and each bedroom having it's own full bathroom is perfect for us. We hope to stay again next year!
We enjoyed our stay tremendously. The house is beautiful, well equipped and having 3 bedrooms with a bath for each was fantastic. The location can't be beat! Our host Jon was very responsive and a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend Jon and this house for any stay.
We loved the location and the house was beautiful! Lots of room and had everything you could need for a great stay! We will definitely be back! We loved that we could walk to everything!
We had a great time staying here. The property was in the best location and the house was very clean and had everything we needed. Cant wait to stay here again!
We had an amazing stay at the Dutch Bell! Communication was great and the property was just lovely. We also loved the location. Can't wait to visit again!
We stayed at the Dutch bell for my cousins Bach party, the location and house was exactly what we were looking for. Check in process was seamless. Highly recommend for a friends trip!
We were here for a girls' weekend November 2025. Jon was fantastic to work with before, during, and after our stay, responding quickly with any questions we had. The house was spotless on arrival. It is beautifully and comfortably decorated. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, cutlery, glassware, and pots and pans. The binder contained excellent information about the house and surrounding area. Everything we did was walkable: the museum, shopping area, and multiple restaurants. Parking both behind the house and in the adjacent condo visitors spots (which happened to be available) were very convenient. There was some noise both nights due to the bar next door, but this was out of anyone's control. Overall, we loved our stay here!
Overall my family had a great time and enjoyed the property. It's nicely updated, good amenities like the fire pit and a great location. Some things that could be improved was better cleaning, cobwebs in some places, soap despenser empty in 1 bedroom and none of the TV remotes had working batteries.All relatively minor things. That being said Jon was responsive and easy to communicate with and we enjoyed our trip.
My family had a great week long stay in the dutch bell! In one direction we were able to walk into town, and in the other direction we took quieter waterfront walks through a charming marina. There was a lot to love about the house but highlights were the convenient parking and a bathroom for every bedroom. Hope to return! Thank you, Jon!
Perfect location to experience all that Mystic has to offer. Plenty of space for 4 adults and 1 pup. Would have accommodated another couple just as comfortably as well. All the comforts of home to round out our stay.
We had a wedding at Mystic Yacht Club and this house was perfect. We were right in the heart of historic downtown mystic. It couldn’t have been a better location for us. Definitely a great rental!
We had an amazing time during our stay and would definitely stay here again. The location is perfectly positioned in the heart of Mystic and is exactly as described on VRBO. Extremely clean and offers everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Very spacious house, beds were so comfortable and the central air is perfect. We hope to stay here again next year.
We had a great stay. The house in beautiful and very clean. Beds are all comfy and bedding top notch! Owners were very pleasant to text with and responsive. The location is great. Only issue may be with some who go to bed early as the bar next door is a little noisy up until midnight. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us!
This is a wonderful place to stay. It is very clean. Beds are so comfortable. We were able to walk to about everything we wanted to do. The owner was very helpful.
This was a comfortable house with fantastic proximity to great food and walking distance to shopping and attractions. The best oysters I’ve ever eaten were only two doors away! The host did a great job of communicating and was very prompt to respond to a maintenance issue. Would DEFINITELY rent again!
