Guest Reviews

We have used On the Water in Maine twice now and they are the only place I will look when planning future Maine vacations. They make every aspect of renting a cottage go smoothly.

We had a wonderful time at the 44 Degrees North Cottage. The location is central to so many things yet peaceful and quiet. The cottage was very comfortable and beautiful. The wildflower gardens and antique furnishings were my favorite.

The service from On the Water in Maine was prompt and courteous.

The property is completely handicap accessible. The bedroom and bathroom on the first floor were easy to access and use.

Everyone I dealt with at On the Water in Maine was knowledgeable and professional. Meg helped a great deal in selecting the property; Justin stopped out on our first day to assist with internet connectivity issues and even changed a light bulb over the ping pong table before he left.

We loved Sea Cliff cottage. The decks and steps to the water view were amazing. Nothing better than sitting on the upper or lower deck with a cup of coffee and watching the lobster boats check their traps each morning. We had a great view of Indian Island Lighthouse. The Tour de France was taking place during our stay; watching the coverage on the large TV was terrific. The toddlers in our group loved the large family room; plenty of place for toys.We had 3 family grouops; this property allowed each group to have their own private space on separate floors. While we were here - we did a schooner trip (the Appledore) in Camden, walked the Rockland breakwater and boardwalk, drove to the top of Mount Battie and did some hiking at Camden State Parj, shopping in Camden, Lincolnville and Rockland, breakfast at the Brass Compass (even purchased a couple of buoys painted by a local artisan there), toured Rockport Harbor; breakfast at Home Kitchen Cafe; dinner at Flatbread Pizza, lunch at Landings in Rockland, dinner at the Waterfront in Camden; lunch at Peter Otts and Cuzzies in Camden and 3 Dogs in Rockport; a day at the Lincolnville Beach; our son's reheasal dinner at 40 Paper, wedding at Union Hall in Rockport and reception at the Megunticook Golf Club.

Excellent service. So easy to work with.

Excellent stay. Lake is always peaceful and fun.

We always enjoy working with the folks at On the water in Maine.

We love this cottage. It's in a quiet location, yet steps away from all the fun. The kitchen is well stocked and spacious. The screened porch is a favorite.

Easy to deal with, extremely communicative and straight forward. I would not hesitate to seek out On Water in Maine again when looking for a vacation property rental.

It was a pleasure to stay at the Bar Island cottage. It was clean, cozy, well supplied and easy to get to. Incredibly close to the water with its' ever-changing scenery due to tidal currents and abundant wildlife surrounding the property.

The view from this house over the St. George River is fantastic, from multiple locations: deck, bedroom, yard. There is easy access to the waterfront and although not a swimming beach, it's a wonderful spot to sit and look out on the water. The tidal river is dramatic and it was fun to watch the different faces of the river, including the clammers who came out daily at low tide. The location is distant from the road and unusually quiet.

Ben was great, very friendly and helpful and the owner even came over to help with the electronics!

We had a wonderful family vacation and the cottage had the right kind of space to accommodate our needs. The views were spectacular and the downstairs area was perfect for the teenagers in our group.

It was extremely easy to work with Justin, et al. Your written communications were timely and clear.

We are hardly typical, having once owned the property, but we had an absolutely wonderful time! All the changes the Owner has made are definitely for the better. We had as guests 3 old college friends who had been there 52 years ago, just before we graduated, and they too truly enjoyed seeing it again. Favorite features: the new stairs and the comfy armchairs - not to mention the wonderful shower!

Nice experience working with On the Water in Maine. Everything was easy and there were no snags or miscommunications. All the details were considered to make the stay easy and pleasant.

We loved the house. It was elegant yet felt like home. There were plenty of spaces for our family of 8 to hang out together or separate. The kitchen was great to cook in and had all the nicest cookwear and appliances. It was so easy to walk to the coffee shop, restaurants and shops. When we come back to Camden I would hope to stay in the High Street House again.

Everyone at OTWIM has been fantastically helpful and friendly. The communications have been prompt and informed. We especially appreciated the email advising us of possible delays on our return journey. We were always going to have an early start but this helped to confirm our decision.

A lovely property, filled with character from the decorations to the quilts on the bed. It looked like a small cottage but was actually quite spacious. We really loved all the nautical stuff. You could tell that it was a place which was loved and this was true of us too. My kids loved the spiral staircase and us parents especially appreciated the sun deck with the views of the harbour. This was truly a delight and on the last day, I had to spend five minutes of our special travelling time saying farewell. Just wonderful.

A OK

The view and the deck - that was the biggest positive. The beach was lovely as well - the landscaping was WONDERFUL and the hanging plants brought in the humming birds - a BIG hit.

Nothing but top notch!

Wonderful home and spectacular views! Can't wait to come back! The outdoor seafood cooker was a huge plus for us. The outdoor shower was so helpful after the beach!

All encounters were professional and friendly.

Our house was great! It had everything we needed and was very cozy. The backyard was a beautiful place to relax and unwind. One full day we actually stayed "home".

Friendly and accommodating with all the phone calls I had to make from KY.

Location, location! Beautiful place. Beautiful home. Considerate with all the extras, sugar, tea, dishwashing soap, etc.

since we've rented with onthewater several times, the process was hassle free, drama free and stress free (perhaps you should consult the Hilton chain because they are not there yet.) we anticipated a great, relaxing vacation and it lived up to our expectations.

wonderful property. best part is back deck and very comfortable living room. Probably the best room we've encountered in our stays with onthewater. Very well designed house.

Everything was great! We booked everything relatively last minute and overall it was seamless.

When we arrived, we were immediately content with the decor of the house and the modern kitchen. Checking in was a breeze and we were able to kickoff our holiday without any headaches.

Very informative, easy to reach and helpful. The experience was great.

Beautiful site, well appointed home in a great area.

Very helpful and efficient.

Nice house. Great view!

Everyone on staff was extremely helpful, and always willing to help answer my questions!

The view from the deck was amazing! We had our breakfast at the table outside every morning! The scenery was amazing. We loved all the little quaint villages, watching the lobster boats, and all the great fresh seafood! WE will definitely be coming back.

We had some trouble with our first rental but Justin at On the Water in Maine swooped in and ameliorated the issue as soon as I let him know. This was much appreciated.

As a family with an early sleeper, it was so nice having a separate sleeping space. We were able to put our daughter down for naps and bed in the small cottage while we cooked and hung out in the big one. The WiFi worked well enough for her monitor and we knew she couldn't hear us!
