Guest Reviews

On the Water in Maine has been a pleasure to work with; we have used them four times for rentals.

Driftwood cottage has the perfect setting, close to the water and very private.

Very accommodating. Liked the check-in process with a door code instead of having to go to the rental agency to get keys. The entire process is electronic which makes everything so easy. All points of contact were professional and very friendly.

What a beautiful property! It actually is more beautiful than the pictures. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need, including sharp knives. It is very nicely decorated. The views from the house overlooking the ocean are spectacular.

Since this was our second time working with your agency, everything was more familiar. All aspects of the rental process went smoothly. We only had 1 issue with the property...a squirrel (I think) made its way into the roof/ceiling and I called to report it. The issue was taken care of that day and we had no more visitors.

This was our 2nd time staying at the Crocketts Beach property. I feel like it has become our "home away from home". We love the location of the house..just a few feet from the beach. We can listen to the waves break on the shore at night and enjoy the clear starlit sky. The house has all the amenities we need on vacation..outdoor tables and chairs, a gas grill, even beach toys and games for the kids. Pretty much everything we need for everyday life is provided.

Everyone has always been very accommodating and helpful. When our coffee pot quit working a new one was delivered within a few hours. They allowed me to drop off luggage and food before the check in time when we departed our other rental.

Camden Casa has been a perfect place for us to get out of Texas and enjoy all the beauty Maine has to offer. We have returned several years and stayed several weeks as have our daughters' families with our grandchildren. The deck outside is perfect for small children and we love the views and the access to the beach and rocks. The newly added granite steps to the shore line are very helpful. The dcor is lovely and homey feeling and the appliances work well. We plan on returning next summer.

Everything went smoothly and as described.

We had a wonderful week at the Rough House. The cottage feels much larger than its square footage, is well lit, has excellent cross ventilation, and overall is very comfortable. The location is ideal for long walks or a short drive into Rockport and Camden. And the peaceful setting was fabulous.

The On the Water staff was professional and thorough. It was a pleasure talking with them.

My family loved Woodland Lodge and the Bayside community. Our accommodations were charming and full of character. The house was expertly decorated and made us feel right at home. The kitchen was well stocked. And the gardens surrounding the house were beautiful. The only drawback was poor to no Wi-Fi service. Otherwise, Woodland Lodge is the perfect 10!

very professional and smooth

great week. 1st time in the Jones Cottage, it was terrific! Loved the updated kitchen/bath and the overall decor of the home. great location as well!

On the Water in Maine was a pleasure to work with, issues were addressed quickly and professionally.

Loon Call Cottage had everything we needed for a great escape. The house was well-stocked and the setting is magnificent. We especially loved the kayaks and canoe that came with the house.

It's always easy working with your group but this summer I had no need to even call you once as everything was in order.

As always we loved griffin cottage. It has become a home away from home for two weeks each summer. Unfortunately because of a physical problem with my husband he could only stay one week but our son and wife came some of the time.

For the most part it was a good experience. Nikki in particular was very helpful. Also We have rented houses in Maine for 11 years and not experienced the inflexibility of the 4:00 check-in. Essentially you rent for six days, not seven. Otherwise the agency experience was fine.

We loved the house. Every need was anticipated and met. We particularly loved the large collection of books which sometimes interfered with our plans to head to the lake. The furniture was comfortable, the showers hot and there were lots of places to hang out. The lake was the star but the house came in a close second.

Friendly and easy to work with.

Peaceful setting. Well maintained cottage. Our second stay at Deep Cove.

Better than any other agency I've dealt with. Kelsey has incredible attention to detail!

The outdoor components of the property were wonderful. Well kept with beautiful views!

Choosing and booking the property went swimmingly, as did checking in. Our rental period was for 30 days, and we only had to contact On the Water twice and - by happenstance - both on the same day.

The property was perfect, and just what we wanted. It is comfortable and well appointed, beautifully and simply decorated and ideal for our family of four. It was well represented by On the Water, and I think was even better in person than the pictures. It was clean and welcoming when we arrived. I think the best feature were the beautiful views and large windows to enjoy them, as well as the large backyard that leads down to the water, and lovely deck with grill. The house is also well situated in Owls Head - it's a ten minute walk to the Owls Head lighthouse, or a short walk to the general store which offers great breakfast and lunch. It's also convenient to nearby towns like Rockland, Rockport and Camden, and its midcoast location makes it an easy drive to Portland and Boothbay or up to Bar Harbor or Bangor. We definitely recommend this place - and think it could probably accommodate up to six quite comfortably.

I have used vacation rentals many times and in several countries. On The Water in Maine is the most well-managed and detail-oriented agency I have used. They were very helpful and knowledgeable.

Bayberry Cottage is an amazing property in a beautiful setting. Everything we could ever need for a perfect vacation was provided. The comfortable furnishings, beautiful decor and obvious love the owner puts into the cottage made our stay perfect.

Almost organized web site and company. Everything goes very smoothly to make vacation more enjoyable.

Another wonderful vacation in a great spot. Comfortable accommodations .

As always - it was easy and wonderful.

This property had some of the most stunning views - meals and reading on the porch were just magical while watching the tides come in and out on Highins Beach. Just wonderful. And that's not even mentioning the grounds and Strawberry Beach - a private and beautiful place. Magic.

On the water were very professional and pleasant to deal with and gave us lots of information ahead of our stay. The whole booking process was simple and easy. We would definitely recommend.

We rented Blue Heron Cottage for a week in July 2017 and the whole family thought it was absolutely amazing. The views from the deck were spectacular and the house itself had everything we needed. The setting was one of the most idyllic imaginable. We couldn't be happier.
