Great location for bars, shops and restaurants. Property was perfect for large group. Main home is 150 years old, which gives it character, but also means updates are needed.

Fantastic location and setup for a gathering of friends!

We stayed here for a gathering of friends from around the world. It was perfect -- plenty of space, an outstanding location (easy walk to many restaurants as well as the harbor), and all the facilities we needed. We had a great time and would highly recommend it to others wanting to get a large group together.

We enjoyed our stay at The Moorings and visit every couple of years. I can’t say enough about the house, cabins and the location of the property. It fits our needs perfectly. April is a great host and very responsive to any needs requested. Our entire family look forward to staying there and enjoying the Outer Cape. The location is in an area that has fantastic restaurants: The Bookstore and the Pearl, The Wicked Oyster, Winslows Tavern. There is a great playground down by the wharf, tennis courts and basketball too. All enjoyed by myself and family and all within walking distance. Wellfleet and the Moorings are the real Cape.

The Perfect Wellfleet Celebration

The Moors was the perfect place for our family of 17 & 2 additional babysitters. We were celebrating a 4th July birthday, a 45th wedding anniversary, and the many summer memories of our grown children spent working as Truro & Wellfleet camp counselors, BJ’s & Beachcomber waitresses, and Wellfleet pond & ocean lifeguards. The owner was fantastic and quickly responded to all forms of communications and requests. The location was ideal for viewing the 4th July Wellfleet Parade, and every local venue that we enjoyed during our week stay was walkable. The ability to sit and relax in Adirondack chairs overlooking Wellfleet Harbor each evening was priceless!

The Moorings is a spacious, private, and beautiful property to gather at with friends and family. Sitting in the backyard at the water feels secluded and peaceful, but the location couldn’t be more central or convenient to all Wellfleet has to offer - restaurants, shopping, galleries, and beaches.

Perfect location for family reunion

This was the perfect place to say with extended family during a pandemic during a last minute mini family reunion. Each family unit was able to have their own place which allowed for social distancing. We enjoyed the location, outdoor dinners with beautiful sunsets, long walks in the salt Marsh and Great Island and trips to both bay and ocean side beaches.

Family quarantine get away

Property location is beautiful and peaceful. Great for time on the water with access to groceries and take out made it easy to distance safely and comfortably. House is an old house maintained for rentals so is not pristine but is very comfortable. There is only AC in one room but there are abundant fans. 3 outdoor picnic tables & big wrap around porch let us spend most of our time outdoors which was what we were looking for. Great stay.

I have spent summers in Wellfleet since I was a young child. I always admired The Moorings and when I had the chance to purchase it as an adult, I jumped on the opportunity! We have had so many gatherings of friends and family. It is the perfect gathering spot in the best location in Wellfleet. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.
