Cozy Cape Escape - Walk to Downtown Mystic

This was a great location for our family! We could walk to downtown Mystic (though the return trip is uphill -- be forewarned :) ). Tyler was quick to respond when we had some minor issues with the house, and we appreciated the flexibility of a late check out! Having three bedrooms meant everyone slept comfortably, and many of us enjoyed the side yard swings.We would definitely choose to stay here again!

Host was very informative and answered any questions we had.

Excellent location to nearby activities. Lots of space for a family. Comfortable, clean, quiet. Great fenced in yard. Dogs next door do bark when they see another dog. We did only have 1 roll of toilet paper but I think that was an oversight. The stairs are very steep and the door to the basement was unlocked, and lots of chemicals and such in cabinets at floor level so be careful with small children. Otherwise excellent stay!

Perfect place for our trip to Mystic. Enjoyed the location which was a short distance to downtown Mystic. We would definitely rent again.

Overall, the house was a convenient location--everything we planned to see in Mystic was no more than 10 minutes tops (to aquarium and mystic village) and downtown was less than 5 (mystic pizza and shops).The closed in backyard was perfect for our dog and for the kids to run and play--definitely a great feature for our stay as a family.The house provided entertainment as far tv and games were concerned which was nice for winding down after a busy day.On the other hand, the house wasn't as clean as expected. There was trash found under the furniture that our dog and kids discovered as well as ants in various parts of the house. This may have been an oversight from the cleaning crew, however it left us feeling a bit disappointed in this regard and wanting to tidy up more than what was done.We also felt we had to do a full sweep of the house to "kid proof" everything. Meaning we had to make sure that cleaning chemicals were kept out of reach and sharp kitchen utensils were not easily found by the kids. This is something we always do in each of our vrbo stays so I'd say this not out of the ordinary. We just suggest that if bringing small kids, bring your child proofing items and a gate for the stairs as it is a bit steep for small children.As a whole, we would choose to stay here again for the convenience, the yard space, and that it met our needs as a family seeking to take in the sights of Mystic.
