Guest Reviews

The agency was easy to work with, accommodating, streamlined most everything.

We truly enjoyed our week in Camden at 40 Sea Street. The location was perfect, walking distance into the harbor and town. The house itself was exactly what we were looking for, extremely clean, very charming, well stocked. We would definitely return to this residence.

OK

It was just what we were looking for, to celebrate my wife's birthday.

Very polite and responsive to our needs.

The view of the ocean is wonderful. The island is a quiet area. The beds and furniture are comfortable. Great outside decks, and a nice large dining room table.

On the Water In Maine is a terrific agency to work with when renting in Maine. We have found them to be very reliable and someone is always available for questions, advice, or help if needed. They are a valuable resource for area attractions and restaurants. They are also non-intrusive - available if needed but they do not hover. They also are honest in their presentations of the properties they are representing and amazingly organized in the process of securing a rental. I will always turn to On the Water in Maine for rental properties in Maine.

We have just returned from a two week stay at Midpoint and could not have been more pleased with the property. It is a beautiful home with gorgeous views of the ocean and Rockport Bay. The owners have created a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Cooking utensils and dishes are plentiful for those who want to cook. Furnishings and beds are comfortable and water views are available from every room in the house. The little beach across the private road was fun to visit, especially at dusk when the sun was going down. The little barn on the property has a wonderful apartment for extra guests. Our visit to Maine was most memorable and much of that feeling has to do with the spectacular home called Midpoint where we stayed.

This is our third rental from On the Water in Maine, and each time, my appreciation for their detail, efficiency, responsiveness, and thoughtfulness increases. Satisfied customer!

This was the second time we've stayed in The Pinetree Cottage. It's a beautiful home in a spectacular setting (especially when surrounded by fall foliage!). We appreciated the many spaces to either gather or have quiet time by yourself. Breakfasting on the porch became a favorite thing, and it's great to have four bathrooms. If you have a large party and intend to use the single beds--they are very firm and are uncomfortable for me (but that might be your preference). Also, be aware that you are in the middle of a very private family compound. This is good because it's relatively quiet and very peaceful. But the dock is shared--and so you will have people occasionally walking within yards of your front door. The first time this happened, we were taken aback; but our neighbors were very gracious and friendly, and we soon grew accustomed to this and appreciated the privilege of enjoying this cottage for a week.

Staff members were very friendly and instructions thorough.

A wonderful home with stunning location - vistas, changing tides and sunrises. Extremely comfortable bed, chairs - all great.

Always a pleasure, easy to work with, every expectation spelled out for both parties.

Wonderful view! Clean and comfortable. Quiet and peaceful.

We have rented through other agencies as well as private owners before, but On the Water in Maine has been by far the best experience. Communication was exceptional. Every person we had contact with was very professional and knowledgable. Thank you for your assistance in providing us with a wonderful place to stay while visiting Maine! We are known as Minnesota nice, but our experience with On the Water in Maine showed us Maine nice!

The house had an amazing view of the water. It was also super comfortable and immaculate.

Terrific Prompt, complete, easy to understand and negotiate

Outstanding location - oceanfront, sounds and smells delicious Wonderful property - comfortable, great views and relaxation on upper deck or from inside the upper room with the sliding door closed Convenient to terrific dining in Rockland, Rockport...even Camden. Not to mention McLoons!!!

So sorry this took so long. was really saddened that the vacation went so fast. The house was just about perfect. the rap around deck, the living spaces, and closeness to water made our experience one to remember. the only problem that stopped this from being a perfect visit was the climb from the water. pretty steep

We are very happy with the agency - they were responsive when we had questions beforehand, but we also had absolute privacy during the weeklong stay. The check-in and check-out procedures are smooth and quick. As we left the property on check-out day, the cleaner person arrived.

The house is a gem. Privacy was excellent. Views of the bay were wonderful and relaxing. The house is spacious with huge windows overlooking the bay and lobster pound. The sky windows allow for natural light in the kitchen and bathroom and the area where the washer and dryer are. The washer and dryer are both huge and function as expected. The furniture in the house is very comfortable and suitable for a relaxing time in Maine. Kitchen is well equipped with all modern amenities - we never used the oven - only the stove top. Fridge/freezer is big enough for a big group of people and in good condition. I enjoyed my coffee using the (filter type) coffee machine. The toaster, blender and microwave were all in excellent condition. Wifi is very reliable - we needed that because our service provider does not have proper coverage in that area. We never watched TV, so we can't say anything about functionality - the TV is a huge modern flat screen. We never used the grill outside on the deck - but it looks like a very good grill. We were pleasantly surprised to see lots of board games in the house - and even a croquet set - but we did not use any of that during our stay - maybe next time. One of the reasons we chose this house is the fact that it has a king size bed and a shower en suite - we were not disappointed. The house is within comfortable reach of many attactions, but also secluded enough to provide peace and quiet.

Went really well. When we had a couple of problems, they called us back right away and attended to them.

Stay was pretty good with a few mishaps. Our favorite things about Waters Edge was the location and the Sunroom. So beautiful to have breakfast in. Also, the whole layout of the house was fantastic.

This is our third year renting with On the Water. As such, very little direct communication was necessary, and all transactions and paperwork were handled smoothly and efficiently on- line.

Lincoln lookout has wonderful views of the ocean. The view is as ever changing as the weather and is as beautiful by sunlight as it is by moonlight. The house is clean, attractive and welcoming. The deck is a superb place to unwind and watch the lobster boats at work. We loved the TV entertainment setup.

The entire process was simple and they were more than accommodating to ensure that the house met our expectations. They were always available to call if we had any issues.

The house was bright and clean. It had plenty of dishes and cookware. The beds were comfortable. The view of the lake was fabulous with just enough privacy. Our favorite feature was the stone fireplace.

Could not be any easier.

Perfect location and really enjoyed the ocean front view.

Our experience with On the Water in Maine was smooth and seamless. Very specific instructions.

Enjoyed the ocean view. Property was very comfortable inside and out with great seating. Bathrooms were beautiful and kitchen was lovely.

On the Water in Maine is definitely our agency of choice. The properties are top notch and the rates fair. I appreciate the level of service offered without being intrusive. Very responsive when there is a problem.

Fantastic location. Wonderful front deck. Kitchen well appointed. One thing we all noticed, the kitchen sink does not seem to be sealed. Dining room family room back deck/grill makes for a very nice gathering area. Overall, the house was very comfortable and welcoming. One of the nicest rentals we have stayed in. The beds in the old wing of the house were sub standard. Singles very firm and the queen sagged to the middle. We all agreed that we would be willing to pay a little more in rate for better beds. Only would comment that the pull out queen in the family room is right in the middle of things and not all that practical. Too bad there isn't a pull out in the living room which is a bit more sequestered. Also, as stated above, we do expect higher quality beds.

It was a pleasure working with the people from your agency. Everything was done in a most professional manner. All of our contacts with the agency were through emails, and we were provided with all the information that we needed to make this stay uneventful, which is the goal, isn't it?

The Blue Heron rental unit lived up to the glowing description in your advertising materials - that is not always the case, we have found. The house is excellent with a very welcoming open kitchen, dining, and living area with large glass windows across the front facing the water. And then there is the view from the deck, which runs on three sides of the building. The deck is a great place to spend time in the sun and enjoying looking out over the calm waters of the inlet. We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the Blue Heron.

We had a problem with the TV service and the people at the agency were very friendly and took care of it for us.

We enjoyed our week at Coast Cottage. The views and quietness it offered were terrific. A very comfortable accommodation.

Loved the organized information presented to us every step of the way. On the phone, everyone we spoke with was friendly and helpful.

We truly enjoyed the ocean living experience for a week. The amount of windows allowed viewing from everywhere and the morning sun quickly warmed the cottage on the chilly mornings. The house was totally stocked with anything we could want. Everything was in working order.

What a delight to work with On the Water in Maine. As a retired real estate broker. I know superlative service when I come upon it.
