The home was perfect and in a wonderful location. Only a few miles from downtown mystic. You could go into town and do some exploring of the restaurants, shops and bars which is definitely well worth it or you could hang out, enjoy the awesome views and go for quiet walks. I have used a lot of VRBO's and Air B & B's in the past and this is definitely one of my favorites

We had an amazing time at this home. Mason's Island is a beautiful part of Mystic and this house cannot be beat. The view is everything!! But the house also delivers. The kitchen is amazing - we cooked a small Thanksgiving meal while there and we had more than enough available to us to make that happen. The rooms are set up to be cozy and enjoy the amazing views. The outside is nicely done with plenty to enjoy even in the colder months. Glori was delightful to work with - her list of things to know and activities to enjoy show how much she cares about her guests enjoying their stay. My whole family loved it - kids to adults - and we are all hoping to be able to return someday soon. Just a great experience all around!

This house shows the time and attention that the host demands to ensure the most amazing experience for their guests. We travel often and this was by far the best home we have ever secured.

This home is the rental I always dreamed of. Beautiful home - unbelievably well stocked - perfect location in a private, secluded area but within minutes of Mystic. Large yard for enjoying games - spacious sunroom that is so close to the water that you feel like you could dip your toes in the water while sitting there. Glori was wonderful and made sure everything was well tended to. We can’t wait to go back.

My family doesn't use VRBO that often, but this was an unbelievably fantastic stay. The property and views are great and there is every amenity you could need. Felt like a high-end vacation. Cannot wait to stay again!

We had the most amazing time watching all the birds on the surrounding property as well as relaxing and watching the waves. There is shore, marsh, ponds, grass, trees and bushes so you get great variety of birds. There are panoramic views out of almost every window of the house showcasing all the different scenery. The inside of the home is even better than it looked in the pictures. You really don’t need to leave the home. But if you do it’s also awesome that the most of the restaurants and shops are less than 10 minutes away. Great experience!

This property was everything it was advertised to be and more. The home was very comfortable and had a homey atmosphere. Beds were extremely comfortable and the home did not lack for anything we needed. Owners were always available to answer questions and provided extensive information regarding restaurants, shopping and points of the interest in the area. Would definitely recommend this place and hope to visit it again.

If you like swimming, kayaking, biking, cooking, or just lying around gazing at a beautiful vista, this property is to die for. The owner couldn't have been more gracious.

We had a wonderful week on Mason's Island. The School House Lane home was everything we expected and more. Gorgeous and not a spec of dust to be found. The kitchen was top-notch; all beds were comfortable. Even during the record-breaking heatwave, the house stayed comfortable and the air-conditioned bedrooms assured a great night's sleep. I loved watching the osprey nest from the upper bedroom window. Rare opportunity to see three osprey chicks take their first flights. Talk about a bird's eye view!! Glori was responsive and so helpful. She gave us great advice on sights and restaurants. Couldn't have asked for more. Five stars!!!

I had one of the best rental experience from this rental. Glori is really thoughtful and responsive throughout the rental period. The house is spacious with a large kitchen. It has an amazing light display and lot of cookware. The wood work on the furniture is beautiful. We had a great time staying at this house.

This house is really special! Kitchen has everything you need and the water views are spectacular! If you don’t want to cook Mystic has plenty of great restaurants to choose from as well. We stayed with my elderly mother and our 10 year old -great space for all generations to be together. House is clean, hosts accessible. The total package! We hope to come back for longer next time!

This house is absolutely delightful...like stepping back into one of the original beach cottages directly on the CT shore with all the charm...the location and view could not be better...lovingly maintained and updated by generations of the same family, this home is comfortable and so welcoming. The kitchen is the envy of all who have the pleasure of sharing this special place. Our hosts could not be more gracious and helpful, knowing the area so well, they are happy to share the hidden gems of this area....We cannot wait for a return trip...

Such a wonderful property! Beautiful, cozy, and quiet. Surrounded by water with fantastic views in all directions. Kitchen absolutely out of this world. Only a few minutes' drive from downtown Mystic. Fantastic communication with Glori from initial inquiry to post-stay follow-up. Can't wait to come back!!

Stayed at this house during Thanksgiving. Location is beautiful and near shops (Mystic) and convenient to highway. In addition to the natural beauty of Mason’s Island, we were completely amazed by the most well equipped kitchen we have ever had in a rental house- and for Thanksgiving that was really important. Glori was fantastic in her communications and general responsiveness.

We had a great trip to Mystic in late August 2020. Our week was amazing - perfect weather and location. The home is in an incredible location right on the water on Mason's Island. Glori our host was so helpful in helping us plan our trip and sent us a list of restaurants and things to do that we took full advantage of. What a great trip and I can't thank Glori enough.
