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!!
