The staff at On the Water in Maine are very professional and just plan nice!

The house was spotless. Super location, loved the deck, very peaceful yet not far from anything and everything.

Very professional yet friendly. Appreciated the extro info they kept sending.

Loved the deck, the view, and waking up to the sunrise.

On the Water in Maine is always excellent. We have never had a negative experience. We have been working with them for 4 years now and the level of customer service is awesome. They make us feel "at home" because they know us. Ben stops by to say hello and that is always welcome.

LUV cottage is a family tradition for us. It has mod-cons and also has old time charm. The best things about being here are being with family and enjoying P-Bay.

On the Water in Maine is a great company! I cannot say enough good things about Justin and his team working hard to make us as comfortable as possible and being incredibly responsive. We started out by being locked out when we got here because of confusion over which key fit which lock, but that was very quickly remedied when we called. Then as we explored the house, we noticed all sorts of deficiencies compared to the "required to have" list for each property. No coffee filters, no fans in the bedrooms, no grilling utensils, no outside garbage cans, etc. When we called Justin, he was immediately on it and we had everything we asked for that first day. (We subsequently found a few other kitchen things missing, but either bought them ourselves or went without.)

My feeling about the cottage went from about 2 to 7 (scale of 10) during the two weeks we stayed here. I'm think I'm sincerely going to miss the old place. The setting is very nice and private -- right on the St. George river. Be aware that the St. George is a tidal river, with the water being as much as 1/4 mile away (with mud flats in between) to up to the edge of the property. It was quite interesting to see the tides change, watch the clammers at low tide, and sit by the water at high tide. The exterior of the cottage is lovely -- the work of an artist. The interior ... well, let's just say it's quirky. Two separate sitting rooms, an upstairs loft bedroom with a chimney coming up through the middle of the room, no door on the upstairs bathroom (there's a fabric covered folding screen), and a shower that opens onto the bedroom (that's right, it's in the bedroom, not the bathroom!). The "kitchen like" space means there is only about 2 feet of counter space, a huge sink that is not really practical, and the dishwasher and some of the dishes are in a closet in the hallway. The kitchen is really not well stocked. Bring your own knives (which I luckily did) unless you can be satisfied with two old rusty kitchen knives. We ended up buying a plastic cutting board, a 3-bowl set and a colander. In the middle of the larger downstairs bedroom there's a floor to ceiling wooden post (watch yourself at night). No window treatments on any of the windows, so hope you're an early riser. All that said, we did adapt, even when we were joined by two friends the second week, we worked things out just fine.

On the Water in Maine, as always, has been professional and efficient . Pictures and descriptions of the property were accurate. We were well-informed . The many communications we received gave us confidence that all arrangements for our stay were on track. We have rented through On the Water in Maine several times. Each experience has been better than the last.

The location and the views were wonderful.

On the Water in Maine was very professional and thorough, and we loved their insider recommendations for what to do in the area. We asked where to buy lobster and got a great tip to go find Mike Hutchings barn -- something we never would have found on our own.

The property was extremely well appointed and decorated in a beautiful quintessential Maine style. It was a great home base for the week.

On the Water in Maine was the best vacation rental agency I have ever worked with. You were so on the ball. All the details were taken care of. Emails were timely and directions were clear and helpful. The property listing was complete and accurate. Everyone on staff that I dealt with was friendly and professional. Even minor issues (a missing light bulb, missing flashlight) were taken care of quickly.

Working with On the Water in Maine was seamless as always.

Love this house - nicest one we've stayed in so far and the kitchen is amazing.

Excellent agency, delivered all necessary materials and notifications as stated

Loved sitting on the dock, such a quiet lake, very few motor boats, bald eagle nest, large bedroom window gorgeous view, loons calling...beautiful spot. Cottage was clean and adorable

Any requests were dealt with quickly in a helpful and professional manner.

We loved the house, very comfortable and a great location.

Agency is terrific...no problems here.

Location, dock, and deck are terrific. Kitchen is more than adequate. Bathrooms were much too small for us.

On the Water in Maine is a professional, caring and dedicated company. They are truly invested in your vacation experience.

The Crow's Nest is he epitome of relaxation. Truly the quintessential Maine cottage spot.

Working with OTW was great. No issues at all.

The cottage was everything we hoped it would be. Our favorite feature was the covered back deck that had great views of the bay.

a satisfactory experience; very detailed follow up. We appreciated the "heads-up" about traffic issues when departing on Saturday upon checkout. We did adjust our departure time and experienced no traffic issues as a result.

The property is lovely; the view of the ocean from the patio was just like the photo on the website.The bedrooms were all clean and comfortable as were all the bathrooms; something we really value having rented a wide variety of Camden-area properties over the years.

We had a fantastic experience! Every detail and arrangement was considered. Very thorough and professional.

The house was beautiful. The kayak and canoe that were included were among our favorite amenities. The house being on the lake, and the dock with two chairs and umbrella were lovely and used every day! The dining room/sun room overlooking the lake was gorgeous and the best feature in the home. We loved the house!

Ben was available and immediate responsive and was willing to answer even the most minor question. On the Water in Maine was super informative before and during our stay.

The property is beautiful and beautifully furnished. It has every amenity you could want, down to the binoculars to take advantage of the two fabulous decks overlooking the harbor. Those decks for morning coffee and tea were our favorite part!

Very helpful and easy to work with. Quite responsive.

A great spot! We loved having our own private beach for the kids to play on, watch the tides and boats go by. The neighbors were all friendly and full of great suggestions for us.

We had a good experience. On the Water in Maine always friendly and helpful.

We had a great week. We especially liked the layout of the house and the screened porch that acted as our game room. Could play games and look out on the lake at the loons.
