About this property

The Captain William Morgan House, a sea captain's home circa 1850. Completely renovated in 2010, this Greek Revival maintains all of its original charm as well as modern amenities. It is located in the heart of downtown Mystic's historic district- leave your car and walk everywhere!
The yard is entirely fenced in. There is a sitting porch on the front and a large, covered, pillared porch on the back of the house. We created a 6 ft. granite fire pit in the back as well as another patio. Vegetable and flower gardens surround the property.
Mystic River views are seen from most windows and the back yard. You can hear boat whistles, church bells and sea sounds. My property is a double sized lot, very private, peaceful and relaxing!

Best House Location for a Family with Dog Mystic Stay!

We were lucky to have booked the Capt. William Morgan House nearly 10 months out as needed a large home to accommodate 8 plus the family dog. The house is wonderful, especially the back porch / yard and the one block walk to the heart of the Downtown Main Street Mystic. Susan the host was excellent and very accommodating. Our 4 nite stay was for our son's wedding at Saltwater Vineyard and and we could not have picked a more perfect place with all the wedding logistics with having relatives stop by, wedding photos of the Grooms men in the lovely backyard, and having a few relatives over for a quick breakfast on the patio the morning after the wedding as family/friends departed town. Again, Susan was very helpful and accommodating with good communication. The fenced in yard is perfect for your family dog, but realize the entire yard is actually part of a shared compound with 2 other cottages and the Landlord's home so you will be sharing the yard with the Landlords very sweet retriever and if any of the cottage guests have a dog, so you gotta hope your dog gets along with other dogs because the dogs have free roam. We were concerned at first but the dogs got along. Parking is on the street, which in downtown Mystic can be tricky....fortunately Susan keeps some cones handy so we were able to keep a spot out front. Again great stay, wonderful house, and we could walk to nearly everything! We love VRBO's to experience homes in towns you'd want to own yourself!

Simply the Best!

I wish I could give TEN stars to Sue and her fabulous home. She has taken such care to ensure guests have a positive, mind-blowing experience. The interiors are gorgeous with designer attention to detail, personality, and lots of home-spun charm. The house has everything one could want, and Sue is highly responsive to all communications. She even made us delicious lobster rolls upon request for a special event we were having with our family. I'd go back again and again. It's a home away from home now. Thank you Sue for making our stay such an exceptional experience. :)
