Location, location, location! This adorable home is just 2 blocks from charming downtown Mystic. We walked into town every day we were here for world class dining, shopping, and strolling around this beautiful town. The home is lovely and freshly renovated. The beds and linens were comfortable. The bathrooms were nice and modern. The kitchen is state of the art. The host was responsive, and even left us a gift card to a bakery/coffee shop within walking distance. I would absolutely stay here again.

Mia and Jon's property was great for a Thanksgiving trip to visit family nearby. It was very clean with comfortable beds, fluffy towels and stocked with great hand soaps and mini toiletries. It was an easy walk to Mystic Pizza, Sift bake shop, shopping and the drawbridge. We enjoyed our stay and Mia thoughtfully added decorative touches to the home for our Thanksgiving celebration. We hope to be back soon.

The Secret Mermaid was a hit with my family. They all want to stay again when we visit my sister and her family in Noank. We were able to walk into Mystic easily. Comfortable beds, easy kitchen to work in, beautifully appointed bathrooms with fluffy towels, great dining room for 10 and lovely living room with a great fireplace.

Fantastic Thoughtful Family Stay

We had a great stay at the Secret Mermaid. The space was so well thought out and meticulously set up for everyone in our group. We had a 4yo and 1yo with us and the girls were so excited about the bunk bed room and all the books and stuffed animals in the house. There were games and beach supplies, fully stocked with kitchen supplies for adults and kids. I can't recommend this spot enough!

Loved Our Stay!

Secret Mermaid was the perfect gathering place for our family to celebrate a graduation. The house was spotless and had everything we needed and more, from plenty of clean towels to a generous gift card to Sift, the incredible bakery located short walk away. Beds were very comfortable, bathrooms beautifully updated, and kitchen was well stocked. There’s both a Keurig and a drip coffee maker. It was easy to walk into town, plus a short walk in the other direction gets you to Mystic Market, a lovely little gourmet market. Would definitely book again!

Charming, Quaint & Comfortable

My college girlfriends planned a weekend to reunite after a decade or two of not seeing each other. The house comfortably slept 7. Highlights: gas fireplace, fluffy towels, comfortable beds, covered porches and easy walk (just steps) to downtown Mystic. We had terrible weather but enjoyed catching up in our cozy Secret Mermaid escape!
