The Secret Mermaid was the ideal spot for our girls’ getaway! Three of us met in Mystic, the perfect halfway point for Massachusetts and New York. From the moment we pulled into the driveway, we knew we had found the right place.Mia and John were incredibly responsive, making check-in and check-out effortless. The Amtrak station was just minutes away, which made picking up a friend seamless. Plus, the driveway easily accommodated our two SUVs.Inside and out, the house is simply adorable—impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and instantly welcoming. After stopping for lunch at the famous Mystic Pizza, we settled into the cozy living room, enjoying snacks, drinks, and the warmth of the fireplace in our pajamas. The fully stocked kitchen made it easy to prepare everything we needed, and the bedrooms were spotless, comfortable, and wonderfully quiet. We all had a restful night’s sleep.The next afternoon, we explored Olde Mistick Village and indulged in a late lunch at A&P Oyster Club. The clam chowder, raw bar sampler, and focaccia bread were fantastic, especially with the scenic drawbridge view. A thoughtful gift card from our hosts led us to the amazing Sift Bakery, and we ended the evening once again by the fire, savoring the warmth and charm of this lovely home.We highly recommend The Secret Mermaid and would absolutely stay again—perhaps in warmer weather to explore the seaport! Thank you for providing the perfect home for a truly unforgettable weekend!
