Nice location

Cute spot that is on a quiet street yet an easy walk into the village. More charm than staying at a hotel and has all the conveniences of a kitchen. But know that the ambiance is more on the antique side and we've let the owner know that the linens could use a refresh.

The property was nicely decorated and well stocked, and, the host was very friendly and helpful. One of the things we liked best was the short walk to town with shopping and restaurants. If we would return to the area, we would stay here again!

Couldn’t Wait to Visit Again!

Ann, is a very gracious host. We’ve stayed at the guest house before and enjoyed it immensely and were happy to find it available for our time period. The location can’t be beat! You can walk to Main Street to shop, to dine and to just enjoy the Mystic River. You park the car and that’s it!We’ll be returning.Alice T.

A well appointed comfortable apartment

This property is conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood, an easy walk to the shops and restaurants in downtown Mystic. It provides privacy, given that it is above the garage and detached from the owner's home. It is bright and cheerful, immaculate, and comfortably furnished. Everything was in working order. We enjoyed our stay.

Location and Ownership Stellar

Could not imagine in Mystic that there is a more convenient location to town with a beautiful view and a well-designed and cared for cottage as the one that Anne Esposito owns and rents. We had a very enjoyable time, and the cottage environment is quiet and very comfortable bed and well stocked kitchen. Thank you, Anne, you'll see us again!

Perfect getaway

I recently stayed at Cliffside Guest House in Mystic because I was in town two family parties--a wedding and a going away party. The guesthouse was a perfect choice. Everything is as described online and there are cute extra touches, such as reader glasses just in case! The place was immaculate and comfortable. The owner, who lives on site, was available yet not intrusive at all. The location is within easy walking distance to shops and restaurants and only a short drive to the RI beaches. I would love to stay again and recommend this spot for anyone wanting to explore the area.

Mystic Holiday

We had a wonderful stay at the Cliff Guesthouse. The house has a well equipped kitchen, large shower, comfortable living room and bedroom. The location is great for exploring Mystic. We were able to catch up on some well deserved rest and relaxation after the holidays. I would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting the area.
