Moorings

The Moorings was a fantastic place to stay. The view from the living room and deck over the water and toward the islands is amazing. We spent three nights there with a party of five (parents, teen, grandparents) and never felt cramped. The house is lovely and very well appointed. I'd rate it as one of the best equipped kitchens we've had a chance to use when renting a property. When we had a question, the team at MaineStay was responsive, friendly, and helpful. We will likely stay there again should we have an opportunity to visit Harpswell in the future.

Great Maine experience! Beautiful water views and walking distance to “lobster” restaurants!

We felt like we were in our beautiful world at this house. The location is ideal with gorgeous views. We loved sitting out on the deck watching the boats and we also got to see an awesome full moon. The house is spacious and comfortable. We can't wait to return again for a stay.

Very nice property. We had a few issues but they were very quick to fix them. This is the 2nd year we have rented properties through MaineStay and will rent from them again.

We love this home for the location, being close to great eats and fresh lobsters + the beach (though there's a lot more rocks/seaweed and less sand with recent storms!). Having a garage is great for bikes. Washer/dryer in great shape and LOVE the new(er) water bubbler with fresh cold and hot water (saves a lot on having to buy large containers every few days). Kitchen is well stocked (see below for exceptions).
Notes: The bedroom on the first floor is very small! Don't expect to fit more than a single person in that room.
I am from the area so it's not a big deal for me to have to drive 25 mins for a grocery store but others may not love this -- the two tiny stores on this side of the island have limited inventory!
Suggestions: A Swiffer or dustpan/broom OR a functioning vac would be a great addition to this home, especially for longer stays.
There was a counter block that could be used as a cutting board but I couldn't find any easy to move cutting boards.

This is the first time my husband and I (along with our pup) have stayed at Moorings, but it will not be the last. The home is spacious, comfortable, clean with views that can't be beat. We pretty much lived on the deck and enjoyed coffee in the mornings, and a refreshing drink in the evenings. Its great to be within walking distance of both Erica's Seafood and The Dolphin Marina (we enjoyed both places). We will definitely be returning here again.

The location is ideal. The view is nonstop incredible. We had two of the best restaurants in the area within a stones throw of our front door but still very quiet and secluded. One word of caution, the stairs to the beach are no more and the Adirondack chairs pictured are not there. A bonus was the use of a one car garage with the perfect place to charge your car if necessary. The property is immaculate and our fur baby had the time of her life rolling in the grass.

My wife, daughter and myself had a great time visiting the Harpswell region. We have been vacationing in Maine for years, and this is our second time in the area. The house was perfect for our daily excursions. Two restaurants were in 5 minutes walk for those times we "stayed home". The people managing the site were professional and responsive. Thoughtful, too... our little dog died right before our vacation and they were very understanding and returned our pet fee.

We had a great stay. The house had everything we needed, it was comfortable, and the views were incredible! We traveled with our 3yr old who had a wonderful time.

The house is in a perfect location—right on the waterfront with a wrap around deck and fenced in yard. Very peaceful and quiet. Great to watch the boats come and go. Wonderful/functional living, eating, and kitchen areas. Very helpful to have washer and dryer. Property management very responsive.
Not far from food/lobster sources. Everything you’d need is in Brunswick—not far away. Centrally located in Maine to all want to see and do.
Has been perfect house for us.

Beautiful view. Comfortable furniture. Easy access to The Dolphin Resturant.

Just wrote up one for VRBO — please feel free to use that in any other context too.

A great, quiet spot with good space for kids to explore the beach at low tide & and two side yards. A 1-min walk and you’re buying lobsters or picking up lunch at Erica’s or doing higher end dining at the Dolphin. Porch is spacious and has an overhang for covered grilling on wet days and an iconic Maine view of working lobster boats. You’re 25 min + from gas or a large grocery store so plan accordingly.

What can I say about Moorings?? This ocean front home was perfect in every way! The gorgeous deck had a million dollar view of Basin Cove. Every day and night, we had a beautiful vista. BLAZING, glorious sunrises!! We loved hearing the lobster boats fire up in the morning and enjoyed watching them return in the afternoon. We could walk to our two favorite eating establishments: Ericas and Dolphin Marina and Restaurant. This home is just remote enough to be quiet and private, but easy enough to get anywhere you needed to go within a reasonable amount of time. The owner has created a beautiful home with top-of-the-line appliances and amenities. The somewhat rocky beach was accessible from a well-kept staircase in the back yard. It was fun to "beachcomb" for shells and unique rocks. The grounds were exceptionally well kept. We would definitely stay at the Moorings again, without a doubt!!

Our family travels to Maine bi-annually to visit friends and family. This is the perfect location. This has been our best rental home, and we will be returning due to the great customer service and unique features of this home and location.

Located on a working harbor, The Moorings is a wonderful vacation spot. Although the house is small, it doesn’t feel small. The windows looking over the water and the view from the deck are spectacular. Seafood restaurants next door and a well-equipped kitchen made for some delicious meals. Beds are comfortable. The only draw back is spotty cell service and no landline. We vacationed during a heat spell and the ocean breezes kept us cool and comfortable. Highly recommend.
