Guest Reviews

The team was readily available with help when we needed it(which wasn't often). The information we received before our trip was excellent. (One thing - we were given the code for the lock box, but were not told to hit the top button on the box after entering the code. Took us two days to figure out why we couldn't get it to work.) Instructions on how to work the remotes would be a good idea as would instructions on how the heater and fan work.

The property is beautiful! Wonderful view!The bathrooms are beautifully fitted! The kitchen was fully stocked, much better than expected. The living room was so comfortable, we spent a lot of time there. The central location makes a great starting point for day trips. In one direction is Boothbay Harbor and Pemiquid Point. In the other direction is Rockland, Rockport, Camden and even Bar Harbor! We really enjoyed the Kaeg Store - just five minutes from the home. Don't miss breakfast there!

We had a very positive experience with The On the Water in Maine team.

Owls Nest Cottage is a dream come true. The house is charming, cozy and has surprises around every nook and cranny. This included lovely art work, lots of books and games, nice linens and comfy furniture. The porches were perfect for watching stars at night and lobstermen during the day. The outdoor shower was so refreshing, the new side porch with a nice table and chairs was perfect for dining al fresco. The view from the kitchen window made being in the kitchen so enjoyable. The outdoor fire pit was wonderful. Fishing at the dock was fun, it was the best time for all. Walking distance to the great general store, post office and lobster wharf restaurant. A short drive south led us to Ocean Point with a magnificent oceanfront tour. This cottage is a lovingly cared for home away from home.

No problems at all.

The house was better than the pictures on the web site.

This is a very nice place to be. Quiet. Beautiful views of the water. Nicely finished inside. We enjoyed walks to lighthouse and beach.

On the Water in Maine was a pleasure to work with - one of the best I have ever worked with in fact. They were polite, helpful, very knowledgeable and responsive. I really appreciated all the tips and recommendations. Thank you!

We stayed for roughly 10 days at Ginn Point Cottage. The cottage was well appointed and comfortable. It was very clean - I even used the comforters provided rather than my own (which I always bring when we rent)! It had everything we needed for our stay including lobster pots, basics like salt/pepper, oil, trash bags, etc. The linens were clean and the beds were comfortable. The whole place was very well decorated but was a little dated. The decor went a long way in making the home feel nice and beachy. I felt that it was a good value at the price point it is at. One thing that I learned was that there is a high amount of iron in the water - so much so that the bathtub turned a reddish tint during our short stay. This made it unpleasant to drink so we were sure to stock up on bottled water. The property is right on a sandy beach but still felt private enough because of the huge rocks between the beach and the property. The low tide was perfect for letting my 3 and 6 year old explore the beach and water. I can't say enough nice things about the whole experience.

The OTW team was incredibly responsive since my original inquiry to rent all the way through our stay which included bringing over a new gas grill & TV for the master bedroom. All the employees were beyond good including the owner of OTW.

The deck and eating out on the deck was just so beautiful. The wildlife that surrounds you on land and the ocean is amazing as well as watching the lobster boats. Having binoculars at the house was great. The sunrises were just incredible!

The team was responsive and provided all necessary information.

We really loved being on the water. Our children adored the dock and the ping pong table in the boathouse as well as all the board games provided for entertainment.

Easy communication/booking.

Beautifully decorated, very clean. Excellent location. Photos represented well. Even the loons were friendly. My favorite feature was the pond & lake for kayaking.

wonderful and super responsive to all requests

Fantastic experience as always especially in light of the COVID craziness.

Beautiful home, property, great access points to the ocean. Awesome views. A real special property! Well be back! Thanks for offering this property and thanks to the family for renting and sharing this great property!

Always prompt, professional and pleasant. We know our vacation plans are in good hands.

Well it would have to be crystal clear water in Lermond Pond, the views and serenity. But would also have to note the fine well -equipped and comfortable home.

The team was great!

Beautifully renovated and furnished summer home and landscape.

The OntheWater team was fantastic! Very responsive .

Becalmed is a beautifully appointed and renovated cottage on a gorgeous lake. The sound of the loons at night was truly calming

The On the Water in Maine team is fantastic. The cleaning team did a wonderful job, we felt relaxed and taken care of upon arrival. We had everything we needed in terms of instructions, trouble shooting guides, local information guides, and response from the OTWM team if we contacted them.

Being right on the harbor in beautiful, Camden, Maine is the highlight of this property. It's an easy 3 minute walk into town for provisions, a sandwich or ice cream, book store etc. The property features a wall of windows facing the harbor, and an open concept living/kitchen/dining area for family to congregate and enjoy time together. Bright and sunny, with nice shades/blinds and a/c if you decide to use it.

Super responsive when I had questions.

We had a lovely time. Loved the isolation and quiet of the property. Loon songs were lovely.

Working with the On the Water Maine team was great. Folks were helpful and responsive. Definitely felt like I was dealing with nice people, not just a company. I've used VRBO and other booking sites in the past. I found dealing with On the Water Maine much easier and more efficient. My questions were answered quickly and pleasantly.

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Beachcomber. Being right on the water was perfect for launching our kayaks. We spent most of our time out on the lovely deck overseeing the water. Inside was comfy and spacious, and absolutely spotless! We got delicious take-out from Estes and Erica's, hiked on some of the local preserves. Especially loved the Giant's Stairs. Please thank our cleaning lady. The place was sparkling clean.

This is our second time using On the Water in Maine and we were not disappointed. The staff was extremely helpful in keeping us informed with respect to accommodations relating to the pandemic.

Our time at Our Song was outstanding. The most relaxing vacation I have ever had. In the midst of the pandemic after 3 months of remote learning with my kids while simultaneously working from home, we needed this vacation badly. We spent our time swimming in the gorgeous water of the lake, playing ping pong and board games, and cooking. The kids watched Netflix in their space in the basement after swimming and did their own thing while we listened to music on the Sonos and read. We went nowhere but the grocery store. The beds were extremely comfortable and the room in the Master bedroom can't be beat. The shower and tub were both wonderful. We can't wait to come back.

Great. The houses listed with OTW are held to a higher standard than many rentals. You can count on a very nice stay!

Fabulous decor. The house was so well appointed and so comfortable. Loved location, decor, kitchen, patio, front porch, all of it!

Such a comfortable home in quiet, peaceful surroundings, it was the perfect location to relax and to use as a base to explore this beautiful part of Maine. The house was very clean and had everything we needed: spacious living room, large fireplace (including firewood), lots of light, nice kitchen, comfortable beds, and as a bonus, there were lots of games and books. With the help of a large lobster roll rating chart hidden in the front closet, we were able to find all the best lobster shacks in the area. From the living room we could see the lobster boats and kayakers float by. I would definitely come back and stay in the same house again.

Working with the agency was great- very responsive and booking was easy.
