OTWIM were very efficient and did exactly what was promised. I liked the binder at the house with instructions, and the page listing the check out responsibilities was very helpful.

This is a really beautiful spot! Waking up to the panoramic view of the water and private island was one of the best parts of the day. We loved meandering out to the island at low tide, exploring the tide pools and ending up back at the house to settle into the adirondack chairs.
Loved all the children's books and games, but a few adult games and puzzles would have been nice to have, too.

We did not actually stay in the rented property, our friends did, so much of this information will be secondhand.

We had an excellent experience working with your agency. We found it on the web, and after we had made our reservations, we received timely information about the contract, setting, directions, and so on. The check-in went smoothly, again with email reminders about code for lock, and how to check in. The written materials were clear and helpful. The second day we were there, one of the staff came to let us know that a truck would be coming for a brief cleaning of the sewer system. This was just a 20-minute "job" and we appreciated the advance notice. The day before we left, staff brought a boat for the next customer and placed it at the dock, with assurances from my husband that he didn't mind moving his canoe. He was very courteous and respectful of our final night, and only proceeded after we told him we didn't mind. Our check-out was smooth as well, so overall we have nothing but praise for On the Water in Maine and the professional way our rental was handled.

We loved our stay at Little Pine Cabin. Our favorite thing was being right on the water, just a few steps off our deck--so handy for canoeing, swimming, and fishing, plus the luxury of such beauty from early am until late evening. The call of the loons, croaking of bullfrogs, chirping of birds...the wildlife added a peaceful and soothing background for our stay. I especially loved the big picture window in master bedroom, so every am we woke up to the view of the lake. The cabin was clean and well equipped with cookware and dishes and odds and ends. The water was hot for showers and dishes. Everything was in good repair, except for one window off master bedroom, which was off it's hinge and had to be closed and opened manually. The "neighbors" renting cabins next door were respectful of our privacy and kept things quiet after dark/at bedtime, so we were able to sleep well also. Thank you!

Your agency was delightful to work with and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

Nice house with awesome views from the living room, master bedroom and screened porch. Lots of casement windows with good screens so we were able to get plenty of fresh air. The screened porch is a terrific place to sit having your morning coffee, an afternoon read or an evening cocktail. Was too bad that there's not a downstairs powder room or that the living room furniture was all oriented towards the fireplace rather than the spectacular water view. We enjoyed our stay but next year will be looking for a place more directly on the water with a dock for our kayaks and, hopefully, a bit less in the woods.

Our experience with OTWIM was a pleasure. From start to finish, everyone we dealt with was pleasant, and very helpful. I will definitely recommend OTWIM to anyone wanting to vacation in Maine. Your organization runs like a well oiled machine and has thought of everything. What a pleasure.

Being from Jersey we have rented down the shore for years. My husband and I both agree On the Water in Maine is tops on our list. Very personable staff. Still can't believe that Justin, the owner of On the Water in Maine, comes out to the property if there is an issue ... nice :)

Ahhhh ... Maine ... It keeps getting batter and better! We love Crockett's cottage. The beach and the view are spectacular. We were hoping that we would get another visit by the bald Eagle like we did in 2012 and we did!
We all spent dinner outside watching as he was scoping out his catch waterside for the night. All the while he was being chased by the Gulls what a site. Dinner and a show for free! Amazing.

Comfortable, relaxing, serene environment. Great for a family getaway. Loved swimming out to the raft with our 8, 7 and 4 year olds. Kids loved exploring Crawford Pond in the canoe and two kayaks, seeking out those elusive loons in the early morning!

The loon landing property was fantastic with a secluded feeling without being in the wilderness. The buildings were new and well maintained with huge windows to view the gorgeous scenery. The property is well situated near the coast and had a perfect location for watching nice summer sunsets. The lake was pristine and perfect for kayaking and loon/eagle watching. It was a charming experience all around.

The Jones Cottage is darling! The decor is lovely--simple, soothing colors that complement and enhance the spectacular views. The porch, with its glider bench and numerous rocking chairs, was a delightful place to enjoy the breeze and to watch the boats. The family room was spacious with lots of seating variety and cozy blankets to snuggle under during the cool evenings. The walk down to the dock was great exercise and it was fantastic to be able to go down and enjoy the cool breeze right off the water.
