River's End Cottages - Captain's Quarters
Summary: The Captain’s Cottage in downtown Mystic on Murphy's Point has views of the swing bridge with incredible sunsets in the evening. The cottage is on the second floor and has a large outdoor deck. The 2-bedroom property is true to the first cottages on Murphy’s Point; cozy, with the appointments needed for a comfortable stay, and rustic feel. The cottage has a large living room and full kitchen. Within walking distance of the shop, restaurants, and the Amtrak Station.
Guest Access: The cottage is on the 2nd floor and accessed by an exterior stairway.
The Neighborhood: The area around River's End Cottages & Marina largely has a working feel with a marine contractor and glass fabrication as neighbors. The neighborhood is more residential as you head east. The walk around Murphy's Point is very peaceful.

Spacious and clean apartment with a nice terrace overlooking the shipyard/marina and looking out to the swivel bridge on the river. Prompt and easy communication with the host, who was very accommodating. Convenient both to town and to the train station. Nice coffee shop in the station, and good Mexican restaurant close by.
