Let me start with the positives: The setting is beautiful and peaceful, which I know is the hallmark of this "resort". Our cabin/cottage was well appointed with high end finishes but very basic and not what I consider luxurious. And I recognize that the Moorings has many many regular guests who love the place, and it would be perfect place... More

We booked a last-minute trip to The Moorings–less than two days before departure! (we had a passport issue so couldn't make our planned trip to the Bahamas). We often look for very small, very private resorts, so The Moorings fit the bill (and miraculously had availability). To echo other reviewers' sentiments, the resort really does feel fairly tropical and off... More

You will feel you are in paradise... the service is great, a lot of natural space, a beach for you and the family with kayak, chairs and hammock... Clean, peaceful and beautiful! The pool is great, a lot of fruit trees.

As long time travelers to Florida from New England, we have spent time in most of Florida's vacation spots: Naples area on the west coast, Miami to Jupiter on the east coast, Orlando, St. Augustine, etc.... And in each of these areas we've been fortunate to stay at some terrific properties. But we now have a new Florida favorite! We... More

Californians typically don't think of Floriday as a tropical vacation destination. Too bad. This is a real find. Peaceful. Just steps from a lovely private beach. Lots to do, but also a great place to do nothing. My wife and I spent two days there doing nothing more strenuous than searching for the perfect slice of Key Lime Pie (it... More

With a property as lovely as the Moorings, the owners can probably charge whatever they want and still have plenty of customers. In fact staying at the Moorings is quite expensive and I have no quarrel with that. What did upset me was being told for the first time at checkout about the $22 per day "resort fee for the... More

This was our fourth stay at the Moorings (Feb. 7- 11) and incredibly, it gets even better every year. Quiet, peaceful, elegant. Incredibly helpful staff (as always) and immaculate grounds. Respectful guests who seek privacy and treasure the surroundings.Treat yourself to a backcountry fishing trip in the Everglades with Capt. Matt Pribyl for a truly unforgettable day, take the morning... More

This is our second year staying at the Moorings. Tranquil, beautifully maintained, unhurried, authentic. They seem to understand what their guests want and they deliver in spades. This is not for people who want to be catered to by over-attentive staff or a place with a buzzing social scene. It is quiet... over a week we saw only three other... More

This is an absolutely spectacular, beachfront property. We came off-season in mid-September and were able to book at a prorated rate for the weekend even though website says you can only rent by the week. We stayed in Pinder, a two bedroom house with another couple - real open floor plan with great kitchen, washer/dryer, beautiful bedrooms with large porches.... More
