A wonderful experience all around!

The property was the perfect location in Camden and we felt very lucky to be staying in such a unique home. The house has panoramic ocean views and has a very cozy living room with a large fireplace. We loved having our own private beach to launch kayaks and build fires in the evening.

Every experience with working with "On the Water in Maine" organization was excellent. the staff was very friendly and informative when we were making our initial plans, the information provided prior to arrival was descriptive and clear (in every case, we received communications on the exact day that the Agency had committed to - this has not been our consistent experience with other properties and agencies). Additionally, the Property Information Book was very clear and, during our stay, the staff was very responsive to questions and requests. Overall, we evaluate the support and organization as very friendly, efficient, and professional.

We have rented vacation houses in Camden for about 15 of the last 17 years. Some of our rentals have been better than others, but with this background, our family rates "Head of the Harbor" as our best rental ever. The primary reasons for this evaluation are: spacious, comfortable, clean, very well-equipped, dedicated off-street parking, and an outstanding location close to the library, downtown, restaurants, etc. With four adults and one seven year-old Grandson, we made full use of the three bedrooms (and three bathrooms) and washer/dryer, but never felt cramped. Additionally, the porch was very comfortable and convenient for either a morning cup of coffee or just looking at the harbor. Bottom Line - the entire family loved Head of the Harbor and, depending on our schedules, intend to stay there again.

The cottage was beyond our expectations. We came to relax and de-stress. Immediately after our arrival the scenery alone melted all the stress away. We enjoyed the weather, the view and watching nature all around us: loons, ospreys, harbor seals, and adorable squirrels that kept us entertained.

Always a pleasure to do business with OTW! Staff is always kind, courteous, and prompt. The website is easy to navigate, and there are numerous beautiful properties to choose from. The entire process is smooth and all the information you need is provided.

We love this house! It is spacious, filled with natural light, and very comfortable. The grounds and gardens are lovely and the setting offers total privacy. The home is well stocked, the linens fresh and luxurious, the huge kitchen a joy to cook in. There is ample space to be together as a group and not feel crowded, and numerous places to read, relax, and have personal time when you need/want it. The location is perfect -- close to Camden and Rockland to the south; close to Lincolnville and Belfast to the north.

Beautiful property and view. Photos depict the house exactly as it is. Kitchen was very well stocked with everything you need. Grill worked great. Some doors stick and are hard to lock but we figured it out. We would highly recommend this property. More seating in living room would be nice because more than 5 people (and that's a stretch as it is) cannot all fit at once.

The ease of communicating with everyone at On the Water made our vacation better. We knew we would be taken care of immediately had there been problems. The rental system there is better than other organizations I've worked with in other states. Thanks, Justin, for the phone calls and Meg for the emails.

This cottage is in a wonderful, central setting at the tip of Port Clyde. We ate at the General Store every day, got coffee at Squid Ink next to it, and had a choice whether to watch boats from the public dock there or at the co-op dock (part of the rental) at the other side of the house. The sunsets at the co-op dock were fabulous! Several locals had been inside our cottage in earlier years and said it's got a reputation for its charm and dcor. I'm glad the owner trusts renters with the great antiques inside. Plenty of cooking tools and dishes to work with, and the lobster pot worked great.

On the Water in Maine was extremely responsive, helpful, reasonable, and a pleasure to work with.

Everything was great. We loved the house and grew very attached to the view. The kitchen was well supplied and pleasant to work in. There were so many places from which to enjoy the view of the water--the main room, the sun room, the deck, the hillside with the fire pit, the dock, and of course on the water itself! We'd gladly come back here.

The property managers (Sara specifically) were very accommodating and helped resolve a WiFi issue on the first day. Although a router was replaced, the WiFi reception was still very poor and unreliable.

The pictures on the website are not a great representation of the house. The house is more charming in person and has much more space than you can see in the pictures.
The kitchen was actually a pleasant surprise. While it is not new, it has great space. Anything a cook needs to prepare a meal can be found in one of the many cabinets.

On the Water in Maine was professional, personable, and quick to respond to any request.

This unique home was tranquil, beautifully decorated, and well appointed, beyond what was required. We absolutely adored the adirondack chairs and fire pit outside. The home was cozy, quiet, and private. Local shops were well within travel distance and with half a dozen restaurants easy to choose from. Eat in, or take out was a breeze! Having all the luxury needed as in a four star hotel. We really enjoyed having the firewood so easily accessible for those chilly nights. We were fortunate to have met the owners of this beautiful home and we're delighted with the hospitality shown to us. Thank you!
This location was prime for us, as we were able to travel north and south to various points of interest. So many picture perfect mornings were enjoyed from those Adirondack chairs, sipping our coffee and taking in the majestic sunrise.
If one is fortunate to stay at this location, you will find a guest sketchbook at your disposal, to share amongst the travelers before them. Take the time and review their perspective, you will enjoy!
Respectfully,

Aerie Cottage is attractive, comfortable and well-equipped. I love the added feature of the gas (wood) stove in the living room. The separate TV room off the living room provides pleasant TV-watching space for those who'd rather look at a screen than the gorgeous view outside!

We loved the location and the view was amazing. We captured so many great sunset pictures. The cottage itself was great. We loved the way it was decorated and felt very comfortable there. The owners have thought of every convenience. We loved Turkey Cove Cottage so much that now we are looking to buy something very similar for ourselves!

We stayed at "Rips View" early October and were delighted with the property and our stay. The home is beautiful and in a serene location which was exactly what we needed. The propety is so close to Boothbay Harbor and other places that we could just go back and forth and still be able to enjoy the healing serenity of it's location.
