Serene, tasteful, and relaxing. This captures for us the Moorings experience as return guests to their picture postcard setting in New Harbor. We've just ended a one week stay in their newly purchased and renovated "Gatehouse" bungalow. In its rooms and on its deck (with a view of harbor and ocean) everything is new and attractive, and just feels right, providing a minature vacation home, comfortable in every way. Since it's located at a Moorings entry point, it's closer to a town road and other private residences than most units, but the local traffic tended to disappear after 5:00.
The Moorings complex of apartments, spread over well tended grounds is like a village surrounding a New England Green. The relaxing indoor pool looks out on pines, and there's a good outdoor tennis court. This is a part of coastal Maine that has managed to maintain its identity and beauty. The Moorings helps you experience it.
Each unit is different, so view the Moorings web site for one that seems right for you. Two years ago we stayed in their "Barn" unit for two weeks. It has a great view from its deck overlooking the harbor and ocean beyond. This unit, on two floors, was relatively basic but the peacefulness and view made it special. Be willing to adjust to the bathroom being on the floor above the bedroom.
The Moorings is a good option for couples seeking a low key vacation, and who can commit to at least a one week stay. No children under 18. The owners, Tony and Sally, whose home is located on the grounds, are warm and friendly, professional and efficient.
