The location on the water and views from nearly every room in the house were highlights for sure! Minutes from Rockland, Camden and reasonable drives elsewhere. Great house with immaculate views of Rockland harbor and lighthouse. Great linens and bedding with a kitchen full of plates, cups and almost every gadget one would need. Reasonable driving time to many different locations. We will be looking for the pots and pans in the kitchen for our own home!

We loved staying at the Seafarer Cottage!! Hands down, the favorite feature was the gorgeous view from the living room. Also being right on the water, the views from the other windows and the deck and side yard were wonderful.

The waterfront views are extraordinary! The best feature is Seafarers' proximity to restaurants, Rockland, Camden, Thomaston, museums and beaches. The cottage provides plenty of space for dining and relaxing and is comfortably furnished.

OWM is a very detailed rental agency. If I had a house there to rent I would use you.

Really enjoyed our visit. In spite of no a/c house was quite comfortable (with open windows).
Well stocked kitchen and very clean upon arrival. Beautiful views of the water and the boats.
Owls head is a perfect location for north, south, and maybe west explorations of Maine.

Wonderful experience! Beyond our expect ions! Fully equipped kitchen. Attention given to details,such as swivel chairs that could face the ocean or to turn to converse with family and friends in the living room.

We loved staying at the Seafarer Cottage! The back deck looking over the water was a favorite spot. Our family fit perfectly, with the kids in the twin beds, parents in the master, and grandparents in the guest cottage. We were all impressed with the amenities found at the cottage - the kitchen had everything you could want! I also appreciated a whole trunk full of kids' toys to keep my 5- and 2-year old entertained. It was a truly lovely house in a wonderful spot and we can't wait to come back!

We had a great experience with On the Water in Maine. This is our third time working with them. Justin is easy to work with and was very friendly. We will book through them again!
Property
The Seafarer Cottage was delightful! It was very private and very quiet so we felt as if we were the only ones in the area. We had a beautiful view from every room of the harbor and could see the Rockland light house; and the ferry to Northport/Vinalhaven making its trips to North Haven/Vinalhaven. The kitchen had every thing one could think of the cook and/or bake, mostly Wolfgang Puck kitchenware. It is difficult to climb down to the rocky beach but it is doable during low tide. Loved the cottage overall!

On the Water in Maine provided a high end and well thought threw rental experience. We knew what to expect from day one and felt we could call or email anytime with questions. The guest book with check in and check out procedures had all kinds of useful information, we loved the tips on what to do - a week itinerary from the owners. I would highly recommend them to friends and family.
Property
We loved the ever changing panoramic view from Seafarer's cozy living room and front deck. The kitchen was really well stocked with quality cook ware so it was easy to prepare meals and enjoy the grounding vibe of the country side. The gardens are an inviting way to enter the property. Lots of windows also made for great airflow so the cottage never felt stuffy or hot. It was a little slice of Heaven on Earth.
