Guest Reviews

The team at On the Water in Maine is professional, responsive, thoughtful and thorough. Could not ask for better property managers - everything was wonderful and minor issues were handled promptly. With an unexpected 2 day heatwave, the team even offered window AC units and box fans, which we declined. They were not needed with the natural AC from the ocean breeze.

The living space invites relaxation in every room. Favorite is watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee on the stone beach...or maybe listening to frogs and watching the fireflies in the back yard? A glass of wine or beer at the secret private beachside picnic table? Or maybe reading in the living room while watching the biggest flatscreen ever (the wall of windows looking out onto Monore and Sheep island - schooners, fishing boats parade by)? Or maybe watching the meadow change over from lupine and roses, to lillies... It was ALL good. There were literally days where we planned to go someplace but decided it could not get any better than Holiday Beach House, so we stayed home.

Staff was very easy to work with and responded quickly to my inquiries. Megan was my primary contact and was wonderful.

It was a very comfortable house, fully appointed with every comfort of home. I loved the deck best. One thing I noted was that there wasn't any kind of "guide book" to local restaurants and attractions. (Usually when I have rented vacation houses the hosts leave take out menus, local park guides, and/or places that are dog-friendly in the area.)

It was simple and efficient.

We loved the house, location (on the water) and amenities. Our favorite feature was the living/dining/deck area and all the windows. We also loved being able to bring our mini-cockapoo. We were disappointed the grass wasnt mowed and was uncomfortable to walk through.

Weve rented for years with on the Water and have been very satisfied

We love the open kitchen, dining and living space and lovely water view at AC Hopkins

It was wonderful!

The house decorations and the dock were my favorite features

Meg was very helpful and responsive.

The stay was lovely and the best part of this property is it's position on Lake Megunticook.

All good

Awesome stay,love this place.stayed here before and used to live in owlshead. we love the area and enjoyed sharing it with our family this year. On the water.

I had a very positive overall experience. Paige and Megan were of great help. Paige helped me navigate the payment system flawlessly. Megan was right there when I had difficulty opening the door upon our arrival. The team was A+

The stay was excellent. We had a great time. The house was super clean, the amenities were great. We brought things that already provided which is a good. Fishing in Lermond pond was great. The gas fire place warmed up the cool nights and the grill was a huge plus. All in all it was great vacation. The upper bedroom view was exceptional, night and day. One area of concern to pass along to the owners. The front step up into the house is very high and a bit tilted down to the right. Possibly a handle placed next to the door in order to grab a hold stepping up and in. My 78 Y.O. Mother in law had only that concern. Thanks again.

Paige and Meg handled the booking and stay promptly and to our satisfaction.

The Lake was lovely and peaceful and quiet. We really enjoyed the windows/view across the front of the cottage.

Very efficient and easy to work with the team. The online tools like e-signature, etc. makes the process so much simpler. We had an issue with a smoke alarm that was beeping and had to have some of the team come to the property. They were incredibly freindly and good humored, in spite of the fact that it took a long time to determine the issue. The smoke alarm that was beeping (low battery) had been placed in a dresser drawer! They laughed it off and didn't make us feel like we had wasted their time. Great customer service.

Absolutely fell in love with the property. It was the perfect size for us and we loved the layout and decor. It was comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked....important as my bf is a chef, so we cooked a lot. The access to the lake was fantastic and it was peaceful and quiet. The only thing I would change is the trees started to shade the dock around 3pm. So, we couldn't sunbathe after that time. Not a huge deal, but it would have been nice to have access to the sun after that time. Overall, I would give this property an A+. Just fantastic!

The On the Water team was very professional, friendly, informative, and easy to deal with. When we reported there was no hot water on the second day of our stay, your staff member responded quickly to rectify the problem

Schooner View was immaculate and the view of the harbor was spectacular. Overall we were very pleased with our rental. It was well appointed and provided everything we needed and more for our stay.

All good. Properties are all reliably in good condition and well maintained

The kitchen has everything! Great house. Porch, deck, in town location. Beautifully decorated

I had an wonderful experience working with the On the Water in Maine team, especially Meg.

Our favorite feature of our place was the easy access to the pond and how nicely furnished our cabin was. It was nice to open cabinets and find just what we needed.

Excellent

Love the location! Having the water close by and the peace and quiet was awesome.

Easy to work with

Proximity to water. Great experience. House was as advertised, location was ideal.

all good

delightful - lovely house, wonderful location, woodcut prints a special pleasure

Prompt and helpful in all communications. Thank you!

We had an amazing week at Nokomis cottage. The home is comfortable and well appointed, and absolutely beautiful. Our favorite part was the ocean view and feeling of complete relaxation.

No surprises

The beauty of Norton Pond

I found it very easy and hassle free working with On the Water in Maine. It was a completely hassle free vacation! We normally like to stay in hotels so I dont have to be too concerned about cleanups and cooking etc. My husband was not comfortable with a hotel stay given the state of the pandemic so I was able to convince him to take this vacation at the house. I loved having the option to BBQ at the house or go out to dinner in town. It was the best of both worlds! I loved the ability to have kayaks delivered and at our fingertips whenever we wanted to use them! It was overall just a great experience and such a welcomed experience after an incredibly difficult 16 months.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Rips View. I packed so many things trying to be Super Mom and cover anything we might need while at the house and when I got there the house was fully stocked with everything we could have ever needed. It was AMAZING! The property was perfect! The home had plenty of space to spread out. Loved the yard and the ability to cook lobsters and eat outside/ The access to the water was amazing. Protected space for novice layers not needing to be exposed directly to the open ocean and close to hiking on some of the conservation lands! The house also was just fully stocked with anything we could have needed for our stay!

I love OWM. They are always so willing to help!

The oceanfront access and view are incomparable. They simply can not be beat!

Excellent communication

Relaxing stay. Very much enjoyed the lake and kayaks as well as perusing the books.

Excellent, easy and great to work with.

The quiet peaceful area. Excellent neighbors with proximity to lots of fun activity.

Wonderful!

Very nice home. Comfortable. Morning noise from the shipyard where they were sandblasting the hull of a ship was louder than we expected for 3 out of the five days. Noise stopped by 2 pm. Gorgeous view from deck.
