Great Gull is a beautiful house that we always feel right at home in. This was my first booking and second stay at the house. It is comfortable, clean, and within easy walking distance to both downtown Mystic and the Seaport museum - ideal location! Gerard is very knowledgeable, kind, and responsive. an excellent host. We look forward to our next stay!

We enjoyed our stay—the house was very clean and it was within walking distance to the shops and restaurants. The house is by the water which made walks really nice and scenic. Gerard was very friendly and reached out often to make sure everything was going well. Overall our expectations were met and we enjoyed our stay.

The house was beautiful! It was absolutely amazing! Perfect location, everything was within 5 min. The longest we drove was to Mohegan and that was only 25 min! Gave us basically every minute to hangout and have a great time! The house was very clean!

My family and I stayed here in 2018 and decided to stay in the same house when we went to Mystic in 2023 and we couldn't have been happier. It's a nice short walk to town, but far enough away to feel quiet and quaint. We even used the kayaks one day! This place is great and you'll be happy you booked it!

What a great place! A short, beautiful walk (5-10 min) along the river to Downtown Mystic. Plenty of room for our family of 7, especially with the detatched sleeping cabin. We didn't have a chance to cook, but the kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, cookware, utensils, and even a microplane grater. WOW! Washer/dryer in the basement with detergent provided was an absolute plus. Gerard and his team are exceptional. We cannot recommend this place and Great Gull highly enough.

My family and I stayed here for my wedding weekend! It was an absolute perfect stay! Wonderful location, great size, comfortable beds, very clean, and our host Gerard was wonderful to communicate with! I would highly recommend!!

I wish I could give this stay 10 stars! This was our second trip there and, like the first time, we absolutely loved it. The house itself is beautiful, with more than enough space for a family of four and a dog. Everything is impeccably clean and newly updated. It has views of the Mystic River on a quiet street in a quiet neighborhood that is still very close to town and right next to the Seaport. You are able to walk everywhere in 15 minutes or less, and between my two young boys and my puppy, that 15 minutes would be even less if we were able to do a normal pace. The house is steps from the river and the provided kayaks are perfect for exploring on the river. Check-in and check-out were a breeze and Gerard is excellent at communicating. My boys (and my wife and I!) were sad to leave, and we are already talking about a third trip up there. This house is very highly recommended!

Such a great house! Walkable to downtown, but still quiet and peaceful! Gerard was an excellent host and communicator. Had a lot of great suggestions and recommendations. There is a lot do and the house provided the necessary equipment for kayaking and biking. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely book again!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay in Mystic. The photos don’t do this home justice - we were all blown away by the charm and the quality of the linens. It felt like a luxury hotel experience with your towels placed perfectly on your bed upon arrival. It is so obvious that Gerard’s homes are a passion project and that he cares deeply about his homes and the experience of his guests. He was so wonderful, checked in to introduce himself via phone and see how our stay was going , was more than accommodating and had a wonderful knowledge of the area and the the town’s history. Just truly incredible all around and worth ever single penny.

Recent stay was wonderful. Gerard was very accommodating to a request at check-in. He also reached out to us each day of our stay. Property was clean and was exactly as described. I love how close we were to the Mystic River and the shops and restaurants were all in walking distance. Highly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Gerard's lovely home in Mystic. It easily accommodated our family of 7 and 2 small dogs. It is a beautiful home, tastefully decorated. Loved the location, loved Mystic. Highly recommend this home. Thanks to Gerard for a lovely stay!

The place is very nice - great New England style, lots of space, great location, clean, as-described, and included a ton of amenities. I really appreciated the extra little touches like the basket in the bathroom that contained things you might have forgotten (little packs of tissues, extra toothbrush, etc.). The host is also excellent. Helpful, made room for us to have an early check-in and late check-out (I'm sure this isn't always an option but it's great that they'll allow it when possible when I think many hosts always stick to policy). Also the check-out instructions were very reasonable, which is another letdown I've had at other Airbnbs recently. Anyways, if this house looks like what you want then don't hesitate to book! Also I hadn't been to Mystic in years and the town is even better than before. There's a lot to do, great food, very walkable. We really liked the cafe Sift and the restaurant Oyster Club and the Port of Call.

Beautiful home within walking distance of downtown Mystic. Gerard is a welcoming, kind and communicative host. He assures his guests have everything they need and is in touch on a day to day basis. I would 100% stay here again!

Fantastic location in Mystic. Walk to shops and restaurants. Kitchen is well equipped, the beds are very comfortable, and the “bonus” cabin is great for the kids.

March 2023

What a wonderful house. The location is perfect for visiting Mystic, the place is adorable, comfortable, and has everything you need. It was the perfect place to stay with my adult children with spaces to hang out together and private space for everyone. We were ready to move in and stay forever. This place was perfect in every way. As frequent air bnb guests we really appreciated that the cleaning fee goes to cleaning! We weren’t asked to clean the house before we left which was a refreshing change from other places we’ve stayed (which also had substantial cleaning fees.) We hope we get to stay again sometime.

G

Loved it. Plenty of space. Centrally located to everything we wanted to do at Mystic. Nice home and great host.

We’ve been renting houses in Mystic as a family for about 9 years - this is a beautiful home, perfect location, extremely clean, comfortable, quiet, and spacious. We would absolutely book this house again!

My family of 8 enjoyed our stay at this home. Everything was as pictured and described. The location was amazing for walking into town for the shops and restaurants. The views and the neighborhood are beautiful. The restaurants are all so delicious in town so try them all! Would recommend this house to everyone!

We loved staying here! Super close to town, an easy 10 min walk even with two preschoolers. Whole house was well-appointed, beautiful and clean. Management was friendly and responsive. We recommend this house!

G
March 2023

It’s a great location and a great house for larger groups. We were in town for a wedding and 6 of us stayed over a weekend. The house is a 10 min walk to downtown Mystic and about a 5 min walk to the Engine Room and a cute bakery and juicery. The house was spotless and the hosts were in communication frequently leading up to our stay. We would highly recommend this property!

G
March 2023

Gerard and the whole Great Gull team provided an excellent stay for us. The home is furnished and decorated to fit the mystic sailor theme of the town, which really adds to the experience. A few steps away, you’ll see a beautiful view of Mystic & the Mystic River. The neighborhood itself was very peaceful and calm. Also, the location of the home is central to all the wonderful activities Mystic has to offer. The bikes Great Gull provided came in handy during our stay as Mystic is a wonderful town to explore by bike or foot. Lastly, I’d like to include that the responsiveness/ communication and overall hospitality was outstanding! We will definitely be staying with Great Gull again. Thank you!

Such a lovely stay in the beautiful town of Mystic. Right on the water and perfect walking distance to all the cute little shops and restaurants down town. The house was adorable, historic and really cozy. Perfect for our girls weekend getaway!

G
March 2023

The house was perfect! Just as the pictures showed - cute open downstairs, and the upstairs bedrooms had enough space. The guest house was a bonus room with a full bathroom. Easy 7 minute walk into Mystic center which has adorable shops, restaurants and ice cream shops. The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with. I’d definitely recommend staying here, it was great!

The best Airbnb host I’ve had. Their home actually feels like a home which is everything that matters when you’re on a vacation. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

This charming luxurious home was exactly what this mom needed after a long drive from FL with 3 kids and a dog needed. Gerard was attentive to our every need. This home is wonderfully close to town (if kids don’t complain about walking to town you know it’s close). It also was less than a 4min walk to the beautiful Mystic Seaport Museum. Which is free for CT residents. And very inexpensive for out of state ppl. Everything in this home was charming, clean, and convenient. Having towels, sheets, and various items needed in an Airbnb makes life for a mom a true vacation. Kitchen appliances are top of the line with a gas range in the kitchen. Ever bedroom had a tv, fabulous beds and bedding. A cute patio in the back or big porch on the front for enjoying the crisp Mystic air morning, noon or night. My kids were beyond excited to see the extra room in the back that was renovated to the highest quality that I almost opted to sleep in the quant cabin w/ a bathroom myself. It has a brand new bathroom and water view. As if all of this was not enough, there were two new bikes, and kayaks. The water is extremely close to get the kayaks in. All around my kids and I loved this home. And we will be back.

9 Isham Street is a lovely, nicely located, well-appointed home within short walking distance of Mystic Seaport's downtown shops and restaurants. The home is one house away from a public access ramp to the Mystic River which was a nice plus for our family of kayakers and bikers. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and our host was very responsive and helpful.

G
March 2023

The house was beautiful. It really felt like a home away from home. The location is great everything is in walking distance. A great place to come as a couple or with your family. Great communication with the owners.

March 2023

We had a truly amazing time here! The house was perfect for my wife and I, our two young kids, and our puppy. There was more than enough space for everyone and lots of games for the kids. The front porch is a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the river views. The location cannot be beat: it is next to Mystic Seaport and a very short walk into town. Mystic itself is a wonderful town full of shops and restaurants. The neighborhood is incredibly quiet and beautiful, and the neighbors are very friendly. Gerard's communication was excellent; he answered the question or two that I had and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. Overall, this place is unbelievable and we cannot wait to return!

G
March 2023

Fantastic location. Great place - clean, good space, and the outdoor cottage is wonderful. The access was easy and the host was responsive but not overly communicative.

March 2023

This was our third summer visit to Gerard's beautiful Mystic house. Once again we had a great time - the property is lovely, perfectly decorated, super comfortable and in a fantastic location for exploring all the charms of Mystic. Having access to the Mystic River only a few steps away is another bonus. Gerard is a wonderful, gracious host and we feel lucky to have discovered Great Gull - highly recommend any of their properties!

Beautiful house, lovely neighborhood. Well stocked kitchen and essentials for the property. Yard space was very limited, but location was ideal and very close (walkable) to the downtown area shops. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Our family had an amazing stay at this beautiful home! The house was spotlessly clean, equipped with all the amenities you could wish for, and situated in the perfect location for exploring downtown Mystic and the Mystic Seaport. Gerard was a fantastic host, checking in to make sure we were settled in and extending true hospitality to our family. Thank you for an exceptional stay!

Gerard's place couldn't be in a better location. Beautiful water views from so many rooms of the house, and in short walking distance (but away from the car traffic) of downtown Mystic. There were power saws being used nearby (maybe at the boat building and/or museum site next door) at 7am multiple days in a row, however. But the place was well furnished and our group really enjoyed our stay overall.

This adorable home was just as advertised and more - impeccably well-appointed and spotless. Being walking distance to both the Seaport and the downtown area was so convenient. If we are ever in the area again, we would definitely revisit this home. The owner was so responsive and accommodating to all our inquiries. Would highly recommend this property.

This home was the perfect location and the ideal accomodations for our weekend getaway. The house was very clean, location fantastic (both the close proximity to the water and also to downtown), access to kayaks was such a treat. The cottage was adorable and a great addition for a separate bedroom and additional bathroom. Would love to stay again! It was a fun, relaxing atmosphere!

Great Gull is wonderful! We had Gerard handle our reservation and he was super kind and helpful! the location is perfect close to thr water and everything is walking distance away.

The house is in a perfect location to enjoy all that Mystic has to offer. It is a charming home that is comfortably decorated and cozy. We felt very at home during our stay over Thanksgiving. The cottage is an added bones for extra sleeping space as well as an additional bathroom. Everything about our experience was lovely. A clean, inviting space that is great for family get togethers. Gerard is the perfect host and an excellent communicator. We can't say enough positive things about this place.

This was our second time at this location / property. As always the Host was amicable, and responsive to questions. The house was updated since last time and the new additional cottage was great for the kids. . Also, the house located on a quiet street made it wonderful to walk to mystic and enjoy the town.

Words cannot fully describe our wonderful stay at the Great Gull. The house was a comfortable and quaint setting for my family to come together for a vacation. We cooked, talked, played cards, walked down to Mystic and made lots of great new memories. I didn’t realize it was so close to the water and was pleasantly surprised! Gerard was so attentive and responsive when we had any questions and immediately sent someone over when a light wasn’t working. He is awesome! In all of my Air BnB stays over the years, this place actually felt like home. The house is lovely and beautiful. I’d give 10 stars out of 5 if possible.

Great accommodations! Very welcoming, very clean and easy to access. The house is nestled on a quiet block by the water. The additional room in the back was a great hit with the kids! The location is so conveniently located to downtown Mystic and the Mystic Seaport museum. We will definitely stay here again. An absolute gem!

Gerard was an excellent host. He not only responded quickly to any requests but also proactively checked in on us. Very cozy historic home with a great deal of charm which was updated with clean and modern kitchen and bathrooms. My family particularly enjoyed the third story loft and my teenage son loved having the separate cottage to himself. Great location with a beautiful scenic walk into Mystic. So many great restaurants for a small town. Loved Captain Daniel Packet Inne - had lunch downstairs in the tavern. Awesome stay!

This was out second stay at this house and it's just as good as the first. 10 minute walk to town, plenty of room in the house for a family and the hosts are excellent at responding to any issues or questions. we will be booking here again for the third time in the near future. I couldnot be happier with how responsive and proactive both hosts were. Thank you again for another relaxing stay!

What a great weekend! There was so much to do and see in this lovely seaside town. Garard was the perfect host. He was always available if we had a question or concern, certainly no concerns about the house. You can park your car and walk anywhere which was a plus for us. We are looking forward to our next visit.

I can't begin to express how much we loved this house and its owner. We walked in and were immediately starstruck. Exactly as listed and flooded with natural light, this historic property is comfortable without being stuffy or over-modernized. The house is in a quiet neighborhood within easy walking distance of both downtown Mystic as well as Mystic Seaport. As it is historic, the narrow stairs might be a challenge - the main bathroom is upstairs - but there are gates and solid handrails to minimize worry. It's very clear that Great Gull takes great pride in its property and in thoughtfully taking care of its guests. Gerard checked in on us several times and was personable and friendly - we immediately nerded out about the charm of old houses - and was accessible without being intrusive for our entire stay. We really appreciated the minimal check-out procedure and Gerard's flexibility in communication. Hands-down the best place we've ever stayed, and we will definitely be returning!

I traveled to mystic with my husband, 7 month old son, my parents, and my in laws. We had plenty of space for all of us and the house worked out perfectly for what we were looking for! Gerard was very responsive with any questions or concerns we had. The home itself was very charming. It carried all the aesthetics of a coastal home with thoughtful decor. They had a height chair available as well which was so helpful! My only complaints would be the comfort of the beds. They weren’t very comfortable in the main house. Though my in laws in the cottage said the mattress was very comfortable in that part of the property, the two mattresses on the second floor bedrooms were not so much. But still, only a minor thing.. also, there was no outdoor shower as advertised. I was looking forward to taking a few outdoor showers but when I spoke to Gerard, he informed me the pipes had frozen in the winter and the shower was removed. But overall it was an amazing stay in a great location!

This home was perfect as a home base for my family of 6 (grandparents, parents, 2 young children). It is a well-maintained and perfectly furnished historic home close to the river and Mystic Seaport. The location is walkable or a short drive to all that Mystic had to offer. We also made trips to nearby Stonington Lighthouse, duBois Beach, and Noank during our stay. The house itself was very comfortable with air conditioning, a well-equipped kitchen, laundry, and fast Wifi. The host checked on us before, during, and after our stay and answered any questions we had. All in all a wonderful stay.

The home is a nicely restored, multi level property; it is ideally located, well within walking distance to major attractions and restaurants ( The Seaport, center of Mystic, etc.). If one wishes to explore further, additional venues are literally only minutes away by car. The Host, Gerard, is attentive and responsive. Clearly, he has done the hosting process on numerous occasions, and it shows. The property is exactly as represented and professionally maintained and cleaned. The systems (A/C, dishwasher, TV, Audio) operate well. Entry and exit are simple and effective, utilizing a digital key code. Our Host has a number of other Airbnb locations. If I were visiting one of those areas, I would not hesitate to stay in one of his properties.

This place was very homey and perfect for a girls weekend. The location is walkable to downtown Mystic and views of the river as well. The cottage, which we renamed “the She Shed” out back was AWESOME!! The beds were so comfortable. We’d love to stay here again. The only thing to watch out for are the stairs going to floor 2 & 3. They are curved and a bit steep for people with bad knees. Other than that-this place was absolutely perfect!!!!

Gerard is a perfect host, very communicative and checked in several times to make sure everything was ok. The house is very well appointed, clean, and comfortable- had everything we needed. If you aren’t familiar with Mystic, this is a phenomenal location - beautiful short walk into town along the river, close to everything. The guest house is a fun touch and very comfortable as well. Hope to stay again next time!

Can’t say enough good things about this place. We’ve stayed here twice over two years with our young kids. It’s a perfect location near the water, Mystic Seaport, drawbridge, etc. The house itself is bright, clean, well-stocked, and charming. We especially love the little bonus house with a full bathroom and bunks. Gerard is proactive and responsive with communication. We will definitely be back next year.

The perfect spot for a girls weekend away! Beautiful views of the water, cozy but not too tight — the cottage with beds and a second bathroom was the best spot to stick the snorers 🤣 Gerard was welcoming and communicative, I cannot recommend this gorgeous home enough!
