About the host
Hosted by Jon and Mia Longo
My wife Mia and I have a passion for renovating and preserving historic homes and own and operate a historic construction company in Western Ma. We completed the transformation of this home in the Spring of 2024. The house has quite a bit of historic significance (including a published book about childhood at the house in the early 1900s) and we enjoyed adding modern convenience while maintaining its charm and character.
We have 11-year-old twin boys and most of our favorite memories are Summers spent in Mystic, eating ice cream, visiting various beaches, boating, and sunset beach walks. We find Mystic magical and it's definitely our "Happy Place". When you stay as our guest, our hope is for you to make memories to last a lifetime as we have.
Mia and I are very excited for you to discover the many joys of the Mystic area! We are hands-on owners and are readily available for questions during your stay. We are happy to assist you in anything you may need, including information ahead of your stay to help guide you in making reservations for watersports, sunset cruises or any of the exceptional restaurants in the area. We are also able to advise on everything from the many kid-friendly places and activities to adult interests including local vineyards, tastings and festivals.
We truly hope that your stay in Mystic at the Secret Mermaid becomes your "Happy place", and we look forward to having you as our guest!
