Spark by Hilton Mystic Groton

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome! Not one complaint!"

The Seaport Bridgeman - All things Mystic steps from your door

10/10 Excellent

"We were in Mystic for a 2 night weekend family getaway and Robynne's place was just perfect in every way! We could walk to the Seaport, which we did on Saturday, and then Sunday we stopped at the aquarium on our way home. Coming back to the house on Saturday was like coming home. The house was immaculate and comfortable with a perfect layout. The bathrooms were lovely, beds very comfortable, and the eat in kitchen was roomy. We had everything we needed! Our grandsons loved our time there. Check in was seamless, and Robynne was helpful and quick with recommendations. We would love to return. The only thing that would have made it better was having more time in this lovely place! Thank you, Robynne!"

Beautifully Restored 1890’s House in beautiful downtown Mystic. 2 bed & 2 baths.

10/10 Excellent

"This house is beautiful, clean, and well-appointed. We also loved the outside sitting areas and being able to see the river from the house. The location could not have been better! We were able to walk to the seaport and Main Street easily. Olde Mistick Village, Mystic aquarium, and BF Clyde’s Cider Mill were all just a very quick car ride away - although the aquarium and the village were only a 1-2 mile walk for anyone who wants to get their steps in! The host of this property is kind and easily accessible. Check-in and check-out were easy and seamless. Would recommend this rental to anyone looking to visit Mystic."

A peaceful nature setting within a two minute drive to Historic Downtown Mystic.

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great house for us five seniors. Very homey, peaceful, a good amount of cookware, the appliances worked well and close enough for access to the museums and of course the famous Mystic Pizza restaurant. By the way the house special pizza was delicious!When I had questions the host replied reasonably fast. We all commented how it was so nice to stay there."

Modern Cape Downtown Mystic

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of the most thoughtful host and comfortable homes I’ve experienced in my vacation travels. The host communicated very effectively, there were lovely treats left for us at the house and there was nothing we needed that we didn’t have. The home is very comfortable, the kitchen perfectly stocked and the outdoor space was very comfortable. Couldn’t have been more happy or comfortable."
