Testimonial: “Andrea was incredibly responsive and accommodating. We rented the house for the weekend of our wedding for our friends. She allowed us to both check in early and check out late. The house itself was beautiful. Tons of character and still all the conveniences you need. The location couldn’t have been better either. So close to downtown Mystic yet far enough away that the bridge traffic didn’t affect us getting in and out of the house. Highly recommend the blue belle for anyone visiting the area.” - Michael
