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.

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.

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!

Amazing experience at The Mooring
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.

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.

Beautiful, well-equipped house in ideal location for a multigenerational family
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.
