A large, charming 6 bedroom house with spectacular views of the ocean. The house was comfortable and welcoming, and met the needs of our 9-10 member family. The favorite spot was the house-wide porch overlooking the ocean where everyone gathered many times a day. Sunset was a favorite time. We enjoyed the various dining spaces that met our large family's needs for breakfast, lunch or dinner, as well as the nicely furnished kitchen. The ocean breezes provided the air-conditioning, but we did use the fans provided from time to time. Some minor problems were corrected promptly by the caretaker.

We had previously stayed at On the Water in Maine's "Our Song" cottage, which provided a gourmet kitchen, included kayaks, as well as nicer amenities overall. However this cottage may not have had as nice amenities though the house was larger and more conducive to our family of six. I do feel this cottage was priced accordingly at a much lower rate than Our Song.

We loved this house! The kitchen was a dream to work in. It was laid out so efficiently and extremely well-stocked with labels on the cabinets and drawers so things were easy to find. There are two sinks. There are two dishwashers in the kitchen and one in the bar. The refrigerator is huge -- we had no trouble fitting 4 family's worth of food in it. The seven bedrooms each with full sized bathrooms made it so easy for everyone in our big group to get ready in the mornings. The veranda with the view of the bay was a great place to hang out with plenty of comfortable seating. The heated pool was beautifully landscaped and there were restrooms right at the pool.

We've been guests of On the Water in Maine several times and have found consistently high quality in both the properties and the service. The staff has been friendly and helpful. We will definitely continue renting through OTWIM for years to come.

We loved our stay at the Seaside Cottage. The view of the harbor is spectacular and the location is great, being quite close to Rockland. The house is well appointed and comfortably furnished.

Magical comes to mind when we arrived at Becalmed. I was traveling with my immediate family, mother, stepfather, sister, brother-in-law and 8 year old niece. We felt at home immediately and were so excited to finally be in Maine on the lake.

We appreciated the incredible attention to detail for all the things that we would possibly need during our stay. At the same time the house was not cluttered with knick knacks, making it effortless for us to move in with our belongings. The aesthetic sensibilities of the interior of the house was also noted and admired.

As a return customer we can't say enough great things about this property! A secluded oasis with breathtaking water views that is only a 10 minute drive to town! The expansive windows allow you to take in the water from every view but the screened in porch is by far our favorite part!

Chestnut Cottage was all updated with some elements of the old house evident; such as the door bell, light switches, and of course the steep stairs! The updated suite over the garage was large and comfortable and afforded some quiet time for us grandparents.

We absolutely loved everything about this property. The house was situated in a quiet location on the back bay with gorgeous views of herons and Osprey diving for food. And the Boothbay area in itself was beautiful with many preserves and an amazing Botanical Gardens. A couple of highlights of our trip was taking a boat ride from the Botanical Gardens into the bay on a guided tour with boat captain Shawn and visiting the Alpaca Farm in South Port. In general this area was so friendly to travelers....thank you for the wonderful vacation experience!

Three generations of our family visited Lake Megunticook to celebrate several milestone birthdays. We had a fabulous week enjoying the home we rented, the flora and fauna of the lake and all the water activities, hiking nearby, the surrounding towns for excellent food, shopping, antiquing, crafts and fun experiences together. The house was perfect for us with ample space, perfect amenities and a warm, cozy environment for us to make lasting memories. We look forward to returning to Maine again!

Beautiful house and furnishings. Perfect for a real laid back vacation. Beautiful grounds. The only down side was we could not figure out the tide schedule for kayaking. We were not able to use the water feature of this property.

This is a beautiful, spacious, and quite luxurious home. The master bedroom suite is absolutely gorgeous. The location is perfect. I especially appreciated the very well-equipped and beautifully organized kitchen. Although it sounds like a small thing, I noted that there were tissues and waste paper baskets in every room - a little thing, but indicative of great attention to detail. Only concerns: the WiFi seemed a bit "spotty" at times; the other bedrooms are rather small and a bit confined due to the number of items of furniture in them.

Highly responsive to questions. Justin went out of his way to answer questions we had, even though it was 4th of July weekend!

Great location, for starters. Bayside is a family-centric village; our daughter had no problem finding friends. Northport is close to Belfast, Camden, Lockport, and Rockland. We drove to one or the other, every day, to buy fresh oysters (we had oysters from the Weskeag River, Pemaquid, John's River, etc.... half the fun is tasting them, to see what the differences are!), fish, or lobster. The house itself, AC Hopkins, is gorgeous: it has tasteful artwork by the owner, comfortable furnishings, and a well-equipped (best we've seen yet, and we're foodies) kitchen. We loved the layout of the first floor, and, as a bonus, we could see both the playground and the water from the deck.

This property is ideal for sunrise. There are unobstructed views of the sun from the deck with a beautiful pink and orange sky. The property is quite large, with three living spaces (one on each floor), three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a good size kitchen. The kitchen is also well equipped with little gadgets not found at some other properties. The lawn isn't so idea for sunbathing or running around as it is for meandering, it's quite sloped and the large side is out front. The flowers are lovely though and the fire pit is nice. The house floor plan is a bit odd, with lots of doors since you go around and around in a circle on both floors. The disorientation fades though. I imagine they will work on the sulphur taste of the water, but if not bottled is suggested. Also the yard doesn't have lounge chairs so bringing those would be suggested.
