The view and cottage are wonderful. We love the wooded road leading to the home and the accessibility of the rocky coast and seeing many birds among the trees and water fowl.

On The Water in Maine was professional and efficient leaving nothing to chance. Anything information we needed was already at our finger tips as soon as we arrived and nothing was left for chance. It was a very good experience.
Property
It was an incredible week and the weather cooperated for most of it. The property is beautiful both inside and out. The addition of the hot tub was great especially in the cooler October weather. The house feels lived in but without the clutter of the owners belongings taking up space. Easy access to town but remote enough this time of year to feel like you're alone in the woods. A great experience and couldn't have been better!!!

This was our second year renting from you. Again it was a good experience. Thank you for bringing the garbage bags and the ceramic top cleaner. The stove top really needed it! It's a shame that there wasn't any there for previous renters.

Rockcroft is a very nice property. Favorite features - being right on the ocean with active waves. The wild life was an unexpected plus, a pare of Eagles hunted almost daily right off the shore. There were also Osprey, Loons and Seals and lobster boats.

This house was by far our favorite rental since we have been coming to the mid-coast. Wonderful large, open spaces and ever-present views of the bay. Great privacy not only from Rte.1 but also the houses on either side. We enjoyed the proximity to Camden without the extra driving we had from Rackliff Island. And the bald eagle that flew low over the deck late every afternoon was a real treat.
The water in the house is extremely "soft" from the Culligan treatment making it very slippery in the bathroom. Anti-slip mats would be welcome for the floor and tub.

We love Cockcroft! The view is spectacular, and the peace and quiet the property provides is a welcome change from city life. The home is well equipped, although without air conditioning it can get stuffy when the weather turns warm. All in all, we love it!

We love coming back to Rockcroft and have continued to do so for three years now. We were delighted to see the owners had made some improvements to the property on our May visit this year. The new floor in the bedroom looked very nice and a lot of the casement windows that were having issues as of our last stay had been fixed. It also appears that they got a new door from the bedroom to the deck. The flowers they had out this time around the property looked very nice and inviting. It looks like they may have power washed the house as well.

SO ROMANTIC!!! The beautiful stone fireplace, the hot tub, the king size bed and the amazing views from it, the window seat, the claw foot tub and the privacy of the property all were incredibly romantic. We loved that the deck was shaded in the afternoon by the property trees. We often laid on the comfortable lounging deck chairs and watched the full moon rise. There are 3 televisions on the property and we did not turn one on even once. The views commanded our attention. AMAZING!!!
