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!

Great house in a great location

The Captain Morgan house in downtown Mystic is the perfect place to stay for anyone looking for comfortable accommodations in a prime spot. The house itself was unique, clean, and had a beautiful back deck overlooking the manicured back yard. We were able to walk everywhere downtown from Mystic Pizza to the drawbridge, without needing to move our cars the whole weekend…a huge plus! We would not hesitate to book this house with Susan again!

Another Perfect Stay in Mystic

This was our family's second stay at the Captain's House. It's just a lovely place and Sue is a great host. The house was clean with thoughtful fresh cut flowers throughout. It has great spaces to gather, a well stocked gourmet kitchen and a huge back porch overlooking the gardens. Very walkable neighborhood with downtown Mystic shops and cafes just a few blocks away. Highly recommend.

Fabulous place

We rented this for a sisters (4) gathering. We all live in CT but decided to do a VRBO do we could spend quality time together This is a perfect location. Everything is within walking distance. A wrll stock kitchen afforded us the pleasure of cooking breakfast together. Beautiful grounds in a quiet neighborhood. We are planning on returning in the fall.

Terrific stay in Mystic

My family, who lives in New Jersey, Massachusetts, and New York picked this house and Mystic for a long weekend gathering. Perfect choice. Large living room and dining room and kitchen which was well stocked for cooking, etc. Enough bedrooms for all (we needed 5), although the loft area was not too private but doable. Lovely house, clean, beautifully decorated, down a quiet street right in town. One block to all the stores, bars, restaurants, gallery... Lots of great places to eat. The outdoor space was lovely too. A covered back deck with table and chairs and a front porch; large lawn. The hostess was very welcoming and accommodating. Highly recommend the house.

Perfect Stay!

The Captain Robert Morgan house was a perfect choice for a girls' weekend! Sue made the process so seamless from start to finish and really thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable! The house was so charming and had so much great space for our guests. The backyard and porch areas were also lovely and made for an extra relaxing experience! Also, super close to the downtown area and easy to walk to so many different shops and restaurants. It was fabulous!

Wonderful Family Vacation

We had a wonderful stay in Mystic! The house is absolutely beautiful, and it is in walking distance to everything downtown. Our dog loved the big, fenced in yard (and Herman), and we enjoyed sitting at night on the lovely back porch! Sue is such a welcoming and gracious host. We had everything we needed! We are looking forward to staying longer next time. The Curtis Family and Charlie

Mystic Family Vacation

The house was beautiful full of nice amenities. The kitchen was stocked and both bathrooms had everything we needed. The furnishings were very nice and comfortable. All the bedrooms except the first floor bedroom had air conditioning. The outdoor space was wonderful and enclosed so our dogs and toddler could enjoy it without fear of going in the street. Herman was very friendly and social. The one challenge was street parking. We managed acceptably but at times we had to park further away than expected. The location of the property to downtown Mystic was fantastic. A very easy walk to main street and the draw bridge. We had a wonderful time there.

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. :)

Nothing short of amazing

What a wonderful property! The house is lovely, anything you could possibly need is there. We didn’t use the kitchen but there are enough glasses, cutlery, plates and pots and pans for many meals. The property is beautiful. We camped out on the back porch during the day, then sat in the sun on the front porch in the evening. The beds are comfortable and everything is very clean. And the location is perfect. A very short walk to downtown. The owner is wonderful to deal with and very helpful. My kids loved playing with the owner’s dog, he was a huge hit!!!! My only disappointment is when we got home and looked to book the house again, it was already booked. But we will be back, another weekend, very soon!

Property was nice. Location was very good. Air conditioning could be upgraded.

For the overall price, the property was not professionally cleaned yet you are charged a cleaning fee. You are also asked to strip the bedding and place towels in washer despite paying for the additional cleaning fee. The air conditioning is loud and does not work properly. The bedding is mediocre. Would be more economical to stay at a hotel and have all of the above mentioned items included.

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!

Excellent house and location

My family had an amazing time in Mystic while staying at The Captain William Morgan house. Sue was very responsive and greeted us upon our arrival. The house was perfect for our family of eight guests, with room and beds to spare. There is a very spacious back porch and yard for the family to enjoy. The house is located less than a five minute walk to the center of town and is also a great spot for runners. We were extremely pleased with our experience.

Amazing Girls Weekend!

We had a great weekend here with 9 girls. We all had plenty of space. The patio is the highlight of this property. We would sit and talk for hours. I highly recommend this property for a spacious getaway, where each couple can have their own space and enjoy eachothers company.
