Magical Getaway · Historic, Seaside Mystic Getaway, Walk To Seaport

This Historic Riverside home, has been fully renovated, in keeping with a classic, coastal New England feel. The interior was designed and furnished by our staff. The antiques were meticulously renovated to enhance your Mystic experience. It is well equipped with modern amenities (Wi-Fi, Alexa/Sonos, etc.) and has a lovely tiny cottage with bunk beds, full bath, and river views. On a quiet street, steps from the Seaport, and a delightful 5 minute walk along the river, to the Downtown area.

This uniquely located historic house, designed, renovated, and furnished by our staff, has the best of both worlds: sunlit indoor room to spread out and breathe; to cook and commingle with family and friends, plus outdoor space for entertaining, reading, or just lying around. Situated on a quiet street, near the Seaport Museum, and steps from the Mystic River. You only need to walk about 5 minutes, along the most scenic river in CT, to arrive at the drawbridge, which is surrounded by some of the best restaurants and shops in New England. Our kitchen is fully stocked with all the equipment you need, if you choose to dine in. In addition, we have items like, coffee, tea, creamer, and sugar. Plenty of condiments and basics. The main house has three bedrooms and a 2nd floor Full Bathroom. There are two second floor bedrooms, and a bedroom on the third floor. The second floor bedrooms have a queen bed and full size bed. The third floor bedroom has two single beds. Separate from the main house (by only a few steps), you can enjoy our lovely tiny cottage with a bunk bed (Full on bottom and Single on top), a Full bathroom, smart TV, and a river view. During warmer months, we have a private outside shower as well. The entire home has WI-FI. The family and dining rooms are spacious and cozy, and a great place to enjoy gathering with family and friends. We also have a great front porch with wonderful water views. During Summer, the back yard garden has outside furniture with a grill and a quaint deck.

Guests have access to the entire property, which includes the main house, with three bedrooms (two bedrooms on 2nd floor, one with a queen and one with a full size bed, and a bedroom on 3rd floor with two single beds). We also have an additional separate guest cottage onsite. The separate cottage, is the perfect place to put young lovers, introverted teenagers, or the in-laws. The cottage has a bunk bed and full bathroom. During the warmer months, we have a fully protected (and private) outside shower. It makes for a remarkably convenient addition to the already hearty house. Guests also have access to a great outside garden area with tables and BBQ grill. We also have bikes and Kayaks that are available to guests as well.

We are available to help make your stay a perfect one. Please feel free to contact us at anytime with questions.

Our location is incredibly well-suited to the quintessential Mystic experience. The river is a few steps from our house and quite kayak friendly (yes, we have boats). The famed Mystic Seaport area is a 5 minute walk (right next door). They also have boats, as you probably know. Then there's the aquarium, the diner, and a handful of lesser known things to see, do, eat, and drink. We share detailed recommendations and favorite picks with guests upon booking.

Wonderful New England Charmer
We LOVED this little house. It was super close to the historic Mystic area, right behind the Mystic Maritime museum and so much more. The house was comfortable and so nicely appointed. I really appreciated the little separate unit in the back yard that had a 1st floor bathroom. If we plan a trip back to Mystic, we would definitely pick this adorable charmer again. The host was excellent also. Very responsive to any needs we had. We were able to bring our pups along which was a big deal for us. We only stay were our pups are welcome. 5 stars isn't really enough! Just an overall great experience

Flawless rental
Great location - able to walk to all Mystic attractions. House clean and well stocked. Only need to provide food. Nice having four bedrooms. Effortless check out is nice compared to most rentals. Only need to run dishwasher before leaving. They take care of everything else, even the trash. It is like staying at a hotel.

Great house and location
We hosted family for a week and the house could not have been more accommodating or convenient to downtown. We were able to walk to every location we wanted to in the downtown area. Steps away from being able to use the kayaks was a great way to start the morning. The house was in great shape and we had plenty of privacy on the back patio. Communication with the owner was excellent throughout the week when we had questions. We will definitely consider this house again when we come back to Mystic!

Great location to explore Mystic!
The location of the property was perfect. We could easily walk to town right along the river. Also to the Seaport which was right near the house. The house was spotless, stocked with essentials, and the beds were comfortable. A perfect place to stay in Mystic! Gerard, the property manager was great. He quickly responded to any questions and needs.

Wedding weekend
The house was perfect for our weekend stay - great location, clean and well set up. Communication and check in process couldn't have been easier. Nice to have a "private" separate guest house - a real bonus. Easy walk to town with all its shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again when visiting the area.

I am so glad my family & I took this trip to Mystic! Such a great place to visit, so much to see! Such an adorable coastal town with great restaurants, tons of shopping & things to do.We visited the aquarium so happy we did, love the Beluga whales! The house is in the perfect location, walking distance to downtown mystic, close to restaurants. We loved the Engine Room, highly recommended! The house had everything & more that we needed. My 18 year old son even had his own space in the guesthouse which he loved. Check in & check out were incredibly easy thanks to Gerard! I would absolutely stay here again & look forward to coming back soon!!

Best VRBO experience ever! Property was exceptional and as advertised. Very clean and comfortable with everything we needed or wanted for our 2 night girl’s getaway. Gerard is a wonderful host. Communication was great from the time of booking right through check out. By the way check in and check out process was super easy. And with 3 bedrooms in the house and 1 in the cottage, all 4 of us had our own rooms. Location was quiet and within a short walk to a couple of good restaurants. All agreed that we would definitely book with any of the Great Gull Island Properties again. Thanks Gerard. Jodie

This property was spotless, beautifully furnished and steps from the water. They thought of everything. We were so relaxed the whole vacation. Short walk to Everything! Quiet neighborhood but not stuffy. The separate cottage gave us just enough space away from the kids. Great rental for multigenerational getaway. The bikes and kayaks were a nice perk as well as the propane grill, fully applianced kitchen and plenty of seating (inside and on lovely private patio!). Thank you!
