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.

I am posting because the many 5 stars reviews led me to expect much better management and maintenance than was provided. It turns out the owner asked me to only post 5 stars and to make critical comments only privately to her, which I did, in detail, and received no acknowledgement. The location and set up are fabulous and unique and our group of 20 for a weeklong reunion enjoyed the spacious and spread out set up and the picnic tables, firepit, view and kayaks. However, things were not clean, not well organized, the refrigerators did not cool adequately, hot water was not turned on, a defective toaster burned toast and set off the fire alarm, there is a hole in the floor of one cabin that could admit a small animal, some windows don’t work or have torn screens. Note that there is no air conditioning except for a few dirty window units we found in the basement. Also, renters are expected to provide / replace sheets, towels, soap, paper towels, etc. We had a good time nevertheless, but that depends on the good nature of the guests. All these problems could be fixed fairly easily and then this property would truly deserve 5 stars.

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!

We had a lot of expectations based on reviews

Excellent location, beautiful backyard facing the moor. Spacious property. A historic house.All great so far. Unfortunately the property is not well maintained. There was mold in the AC, sticky doors (eg bathroom doors won’t close), moths inside, overall unclean appearance. I would suggest that the host leaves a private property sign at both entrances as random people kept walking in to the property while we were relaxing. Also please be aware that you will have to rent the bed sheets, pillow cases and towels from a separate location and return it to that location before leaving.we did not know this when we booked. The village is very laid back and pretty and not touristy, yet without driving distance of all major attractions. Our dishwasher was not functioning from day one and was replaced the day before we left. So we had to hand clean dishes for 11 family members. Overall will say it is overpriced for the conditions.

Beautiful property, great location

We stayed at the Moorings in July 2024 with extended family of 16. It was a wonderful stay and the owner was very responsive when we needed to contact her once. We really enjoyed time spent on the wraparound porch and at the water. We kayaked and played croquet. We walked to the town square dance event on the Wellfleet pier. While we had a great time, there are some things worth noting so that future guests can be prepared. It's a gorgeous, historic house and quaint cottages. This worked for our family, but it's not a brand new luxury hotel. You need to bring or order your own sheets and towels, and you will likely need to bring the essentials like toiletries, toilet paper, paper towels, bug spray, and hairdryer. We were there during a heat wave. Almost every bedroom had an air conditioning unit in the window, but one or two didn't. There is one refrigerator in the kitchen and 2 mini-fridges in the cottages. We made this work for a family of 16 by using coolers with ice for beverages. None of this was a big deal to us, but just want to note so that guests come prepared. Overall, a fantastic stay!

Magical Wedding Weekend

I can't say enough about The Moorings !! It was a perfect spot for our family of 13 !! We enjoyed every inch of the property !! The main house was spotless and had everything we needed for the week. The cottages out back were perfect for our sons and their families. The children had a huge yard to run around and play. They loved the kayaks and watching all the ducks and birds. April was so accommodating and easy to get in touch with. We hosted our sons Rehearsal Dinner in the backyard. It was truly magical. The lights in the trees were beautiful and there's even a fire pit next to the water. Everyone was in awe of the property . Town is an easy walk and has wonderful restaurants and shops. We highly recommend staying at the Moorings . We will be back !!Thank you April Pat Welch Gadsden, Alabama

Our second stay at this beautiful property did not disappoint. Our large group enjoyed dinners and social time around the fire, on the porches, and picnic tables. Location provides a perfect hub for beach, boating and golf outings, paddling from the property, and short walks to galleries, restaurants, and hikes. We’ll be back!

The main house, cottages, and large yard (with beautiful water view) make this the perfect place for a multigenerational vacation.

Best Family Vacation Place

This property was ideal for all ages. There was outside dining that accommodated all our large group (18-20) and two long tables inside for eating. We kayaked from the yard, walked along fiddler crab city during low tide, and groups walked to town or the pier. No need to drive a lot. It’s so nice to all be together in one spot but also have 3 different cabins and the main house to fit everyone’s needs. The kitchen was outfitted well and many fans were there to keep us cool. It was comfortable but not fussy…good if you have children. The owner was very responsive to my concerns and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a “family compound “ for holiday.

Perfect wedding venue

We had the loveliest wedding at The Moorings! The historical house and little cottages accommodated a large family and allowed cousins and extended family to reconnect in a beautiful setting. The view is stunning. Mayo Beach, art galleries, Wellfleet Center and a number of excellent restaurants are all within easy walking distance. It was a special experience and there is no more magical spot in Wellfleet than The Moorings!

Awesome Family Week

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. The house and property are full of history and rustic New England charm. Really unique and wonderful place to stay. April was super communicative and helpful. Everyone in our family is already talking about wanting to go back next summer!

Return to the Moorings

We had a large group of varying ages: from 80 years old to 9 months old. The house and cottages were perfect to gather for family time while also allowing plenty of space for some alone time. We used the kitchen for many of the meals and found pots and pans as needed. The picnic tables out by the cove were perfect to share meals on very hot days. The fire pit was wonderful at night with plenty of chairs. For several days the temps were above average with high humidity. Fans were available as well as 1 window AC. If a new, posh rental with central air is top of your requirements for your vacay, expect to lose out on what the Moorings has to offer, better location, prices and opportunity to enjoy Wellfleet without being in the car constantly. The Moorings is a Historical Landmark home, rich in details like the front porch which we enjoyed in the day and night to relax after beach time. A ripped door screen was replaced within hours by the friendly maintenance man. The owner is very responsive to any questions or needs. Having a washer and dryer available meant less packing and with babies it was great. The value of a vacation at The Moorings to me was doubled by the location: close to the pier with tennis and basketball courts, restaurants and a playground while being walkable to town also. We loved it!
