Guest Reviews

I found working with On the Water in Maine to be an easy and pleasant experience. The staff was professional, courteous, and thorough in corresponding with me all the way through. I appreciated this very much for a first time doing so.

With 10 years between our oldest and youngest sons, we have waited a long time to embark on a family vacation, with all the college time for the three of them since our last in 2003. With them now grown, Great Pines offered the perfect location to gather our families and enjoy the time together and the beauty of Maine. This property put us in a central location of all that we wanted to do along the coast, and was quite comfortable. I had waited for this vacation for a long time, and it didn't disappoint ... roomy, clean, well appointed, perfect location, and great views! Will definitely try to go back!

All of the questions we asked beforehand were accurately answered.

The Cottage was perfect! It was clean and well maintained. Everything we needed was there as promised and more!

On the water in Maine is a smooth operating machine, we are always kept well informed and treated well.

Unsurpassed views from this property with a central location between bar harbor and roockland are.

Like clockwork as usual. Thanks for making it painless and easy.

I think this was our 10th year at Compass Rose Cottage. We love the place and look forward to it every year. It is comfy and has all the comforts of home, plus the ocean/Penobscot Bay being a few steps from the front screened porch.

The agency is very easy to work with. They are very attentive and quick to respond to questions.

The house as beautiful as it looks in the pictures. The panoramic views are amazing. It is a very peaceful and relaxing property.

It is a pleasure to work with On the Water. They respond quickly to questions and were able to assist us when there was a scheduling problem with one of the houses we were renting several years ago. I find it very helpful to have someone on-the-ground who can immediately handle any issues that might arise.

We really enjoy staying at the Grove Street house - this is our second year and it was just as fun as last year. The house works well for groups and there is always enough seating for everyone. We got to use the front porch and the side deck this year (rained last year) and they are both great spaces to hang out. Its an easy location to either walk to town or to Megunticook Market which is just around the corner.

We've rented from On The Water In Maine at least 6 times (maybe more) and all three properties have been great. The rental experience and ease of process is why we continue to use On The Water in Maine as our resource for our vacations.

We love this house and have rented it 3 times. It is a wonderful location and a comfortable house.

OTWIM is a super agency. They reply promptly to questions and are very customer service oriented.

We've been coming to "A Stones Throw" for years, almost 10 now I think and we love it more and more and look forward to coming every year. The big deck overlooking the ocean, the private property and proximity to Rockland all make for a great combination.

Dealing with OTW is so smooth and professional, everything is detailed and there are no surprises. I find the staff to be very efficient and professional.

This is such a beautifully designed and comfortable rental property! Step outside onto deck and you're practically on the water! Listening to the loons and gazing at the lake is magical and so tranquil! A week spent here is rejuvenation of the soul!

The staff of On the Water is superb. Thoughtful, thorough, personal service every step of the way. We would never work with another company, because the OTW team always look out for the guests.

This is a terrific propertya true home. Spacious rooms, amazing kitchen, spectacular views. Beautifully cared for and stocked with everything you need and more. Also, a great location in terms of access to everything in the area.

Assistance available upon request. Ability to provide professional to fix our problem. Friendly people willing to help and knowledgeable at their job. Ability to provide quick turn-around time for our visit.

Spacious open floor plan. Many items were local and provided a unique experience. Plenty of everyday items were available for use. Light, bright and clean. Beds were comfortable. The porch was a terrific feature with the comfortable seating. Easy parking. Ability to walk to town. Assistance available upon request. A terrific renovation throughout the home allowed for comfortable stay.

Very friendly & professional - couldn't be better!

We love the view and the peaceful surroundings.

professional, thorough and a pleasure to work with

Views were amazing and the house was beautiful. We loved the resident fox!

We've rented from On The Water In Maine for many years, and the firm has always been the best.

Excellent -- as always! The new enclosed porch and roof deck are wonderful additions to the property.

We've worked with On the Water since the agency opened about a decade ago. We've always been completed satisfied with their service, and this year was no exception. Paige was a pleasure to work with - from the day we booked our stay until we left Maine. Forget Home Away and VBRO. Stick with On the Water!

The Waterside Retreat is a terrific value for those wanting to spend time in wonderful Rockland. We're stayed there in the past, but were thrilled to find a host of upgrades to the house that enhanced every aspect of our visit. There's nothing fancy about the Retreat - but for sheer comfort, a perfect location, and if one wants a home where everything just works perfectly, it cannot be beat. Our only regret is that we could only stay one week. We'll not make that mistake next year.

Everything was very smooth and everyone was friendly.

The place is very nice and peaceful--the location is beautiful.

On the Water in Maine made booking our vacation house very easy and reliable.

Wonderful week at the lake. Becalmed has a great view, lawn and dock. Bright, comfortable and cozy house. Conveniently located near town.

Every thing was handled through the website and was quick, concise and complete. Email communications were timely and informative. The additional information on nearby attractions, dining, etc. was most appreciated. We love the keyless check-in as it gives more flexibility for arrival time. With the phone calls to the office on arrival and leaving, is also a great convenient feature.

Loved the proximity to the water and the beach was wonderful. The house was cozy, beautiful and well appointed. There was nothing to want for. Loved the gulls, cormorants, ospreys (with their dinners) and especially the bald eagle that landed in a tree next door to enjoy his / her seafood dinner! Location in regards to Searsport, Belfast and Fort Knox / Penobscot Narrows Bridge - were all short drives. The drive to Acadia National Park was longer but very well worth it.

OWM has been a great rental partner for us. We have been pleased with the properties that they offer and how well everything is managed.

This was our 3rd year at Piper Cove. Great camp cabin with all the amenities for life on a lake in Maine with Internet, washer, dryer, etc. Cabin is well furnished and maintained. Cozy with two bedrooms and a main living area. Porch to the side. Cabin faces west and is right on the lake.

The staff at On the Water do everything they can to ensure you have a great vacation experience. We have been renting through them for about 7 years now.

We loved staying at Vacationland! The cottage is very nice and also very comfortable. I couldn't believe how well stocked the kitchen was with cooking utensils and anything that you would need to make a meal. Things we enjoyed the most....campfires, watching the sunset over the pond on the beautiful deck, kayaking, swimming and fishing.

OtWinME is a breeze to work with! Everything is well organized; instructions are clear; and the check in/check out procedures are simple.

We love the Driftwood Cottage! The location directly on the water is our favorite part, along with the outdoor shower and the fire pit.
