We had an amazing family vacation at the Mooring. The house was wonderful and steps away from the beach and town which added to the experience. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review your stay, Karen! We love when our guests enjoy their time on the Cape and it is always nice to hear what they enjoyed about the home itself. So, we are very happy reading your review and we look forward to your return as our guest!
House was perfect for a large family. Great private beach just down the block. Right in the heart of Harwich Port. The house is just as described, no surprises.

Thank you for your review, Frank! We are so happy that your family had plenty of space and a great location to enjoy! This home is a consistent "crowd pleaser" with its historical and architectural charm. We look forward to the opportunity of hosting your family again!
The property is absolutely gorgeous. The house is stunning and the location is perfect - walkable to the beach, restaurants, a small store, coffee, small shops, everything you could really want. The concierge service offered was not really helpful at all but the property itself was just perfect.

Thanks so much for your review. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your stay. We are so glad you and your family enjoyed this special home in the heart of Harwich Port. We acknowledge that there was an issue with the WIFI on the second to last day of your stay - we are glad that resetting the modem helped. We do believe there was an area outage as well. I hope you thought our responsiveness was quick and helpful - our maintenance team called you on Sunday to assist. We are so excited to be offering our concierge services to guests this year - you were one of the first guests to request information and we understand a zoom call was set up and a follow up email with links to area attractions. If the service was different than you expected we are sorry. We will reach out to learn more. We are always looking to do better! We look forward to having you as our guest again in the future!

This property checked every box. It was a warm, luxurious, well appointment and comfortable. The proximity to the beach and downtown Harwich Port added to the considerable charm and convenience. We stated multiple times that it did not feel like a rental property as it was even more grand onsite than the photos depicted.

What a lovely review! We love the word "grand" because that definitely describes The Mooring! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and all the amenities offered at this amazing home - we hope you had a chance to play cornhole on the front lawn! We hope to have you as our guest again. ~ New England Vacation Rentals
Everything about this house is perfect. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and the beds are very comfortable. There are many different places for guest to relax with a large dinning room table that sits 8 to 10. We loved the large front porch with two different sitting areas. The kitchen is well appointed with two dishwashers, ice machine, huge stove and two sinks. It truly was a perfect house for our reunion.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear the home was a perfect fit for your reunion. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable stay in the future!
We had a magical stay at the Moorings. It was the second time we stayed there. The space is fabulous, everyone loves having an en suite bathroom. The kitchen is a chef's dream and since I cooked most nights I truly appreciated that (only complaint was that there was only 1 dish towel!) We celebrated a milestone birthday and a surprise engagement. Both took place on the spectacular wrap around porch!
The proximity to the beach makes this home almost perfect! Hope to make this a yearly vacation spot!

We are so happy to hear about our guests making life long memories at our homes. The Mooring is a special home and now it will have a place in your family history. The kitchen is amazing - perfect for large family meals or intimate dinners for two. Next time please let us know about the dish towels - there is a closet of linens we could have directed you to! We hope you return again soon! From - New England Vacation Rentals
OMG. Absolutely the perfect house. We had 12 couples, and each had a beautiful bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen was amazing.This is my Bio family I found 15 years ago. My 3 siblings and First cousins. This reunion will live in our memories forever. And the accommodations made it very special. I’d say it was on par with any 5 star hotel we could have stayed at. And the location and access to everything on the Cape was spot on.I called the Prop Mgrs twice with questions, and Katie responded to everything immediately.The beach, one block away was beautiful. The little town of Harwich was comfortable and walkable. I HIGHLY recommend this house. If you split the cost between 12 people it’s NOTHING for what you get. Seriously.

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing review! It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the nearby beach, the charm of Harwich, and the convenient location. We’d be delighted to welcome you all back anytime!
Spent 6 nights here at the end of June (6 adults, a 3 month old, a 3 year old and a dog) and everything was as described. Walk to the private beach is a short one down a quiet idyllic street. Very short walk to a number of nice restaurants and stores in the quaint town of Harwich Port, which is a 15 minute drive to Chatham, a 15 minute drive to Hyannis, less than an hour to Provincetown and the fast ferry to Nantucket is right in town. The Mooring has the historic charm of a century home with all the modern amenities, plenty of space for everyone and a spectacular front porch for relaxing on. Each full size bedroom has it's own bathroom in addition to the two on the main floor. The beautiful high ceilings do result in a possible challenge for anyone who has an issue with stairs as the flights to the second and third floors are steep with more stairs than normal.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review your stay, Gordon! You were great guests so we love knowing that you enjoyed the home's historic charm, proximity to downtown Harwich Port and ensuite bathrooms as well! We would have to agree that the home's grandeur does result in some stairs but, in our opinion, well worth the travel! We look forward to hosting you and your family (pup too!) again in the future!
This was my family’s second stay here. We found it clean and convenient to the beach, to restaurant, grocery store, etc. parking is ample. The rooms are spacious and very pretty with wonderful full bathrooms. The kitchen is amazing and we were able to cook dinners here. The living room is an enjoyable spot for family game-night. I would absolutely return and recommend this home to families looking for a convenient, and enjoyable stay on the Cape.

Hi Tom! Thanks so much for your review. We are so happy you had an amazing stay and that you loved the house. Please come back soon!
Beautiful, well-equipped house in ideal location for a multigenerational family
The house had almost everything we needed—and more than we expected. The kitchen is especially noteworthy if someone in your group loves to cook/bake. And there is nothing like being in town and only a short walk to the beach when your family spans 60 years.
