The side entrance of the home is off the driveway with ramps to the kitchen door for easy accessibility. Before entering the home you can catch a glimpse of the gas grill and patio area and make a mental note to plan a barbecue dinner.

Fantastic Week at the Cape

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.

Amazing Location and Property

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.

Gorgeous house in the perfect location

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.

Amazing experience at The Mooring

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.

magic

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!

Perfect Spot, better than described

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.

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.
