We stayed at the Moorings with our family and friends for our wedding weekend in Wellfleet. We cannot recommend it enough - we had the most incredible time. The house and cottages are clean, cozy, the view from the property is stunning, the fire pit set up is incredible. Plenty of room for everyone to park. We simply could not have asked for a better place to spend the best weekend of our lives. And thanks to April - such a wonderful and communicative host!

We had a wonderful week at the Moorings with our whole family (18 of us ages 12 to 87)!! Perfect spot for intergenerational bonding. Beautiful spot to just sit and watch the tides. Also walkable to beach, skatepark, tennis courts, and restaurants (and easily driveable too). Lots of great spaces to spread out and also to be together.

The Moorings is fabulous!! We had a large group coming from all over and the smaller cottages made it so accommodating for all of our guests! April, our host, is very communicative making all aspects of the process very manageable. The location and the views are fabulous. We loved being able to walk everywhere in Wellfleet from the house. We were celebrating a birthday and they even decorated for that making it so special. Lots of personal touches. We easily accommodated 18 adult guests. I highly recommend this property!!

We absolutely loved our time at The Moorings. We loved the location, the view was beautiful and it had everything we needed for our stay. It would be nice to have the beds made and fresh towels available but I feel like it’s such a Cape thing to do your own. April recommended a place to rent them, and that worked for our group perfectly, and she was super responsive about everything! We celebrated birthdays and even had a surprise engagement while we were there!!! It was the perfect setting for our 2 families with adult children and significant others and you can’t beat being able to walk to the harbor and into the center of town too! We love Wellfleet and The Moorings!

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.
