The booking process was super simple. I appreciated having in writing anything we would need to know and although I didnt have questions that were not addressed on the website, they made it very clear that they were happy to respond to any questions I might have had. We were given the option to check-out by e-mail which we found easier because we were visiting from Canada and having issues with our cellphone.

We loved pretty much everything about the property from the moment we arrived. I have stayed at places that looked nice in photos but, in person, showed flaws that were not visible online; Grove Street was every bit as nice, if not nicer, in person -the convenience of having a keypad for access instead of having to carry a key -the closeness to the harbor, shops and hiking trails -the beautiful street/neighbourhood; lovely for walks and many beautiful homes to admire - the neighbourhood was quiet and felt safe. The neighbours were very friendly too! -the beautifully landscaped yard -the nice sized & quite private patio with cute little white round table with rattan chairs & bright yellow comfy cushions (in addition to the pic-nic table) that were not pictured online -the spacious mudroom and attached bathroom with vaulted ceilings -the kitchen is larger than it appears online and we found it to be well equipped -the house is so beautifully/tastefully decorated and we love the pops of colour; it is clear that a lot of care was put into it. -we loved relaxing on the front porch on a rainy morning-so peaceful -we were two friends vacationing together & both thought wed be fighting over the third floor bedroom/ensuite but when we got there, we both agreed that it was a tough decision which room we preferred-both were equally lovely -we were both sad to leave the property because we loved it so much -Im sure we could go on forever listing all the wonderful things about the property

This is our third time to rent through On the Water in Maine. It is a great company -- friendly and helpful. Easy!!

We love Camden Casa! The location is perfect, and the house is spacious and very comfortable.

Outstanding, nothing bad to say!

The view was awesome! Also the property is very well kept.

I appreciated the structure of the rental, with regards to information and clearly outlining the requirements and policy of staying at the property. The "check in" and "check out" process helped in assuring nothing was missed. During our check in, I spoke with an agent who helped with suggesting good places to eat and some activities in the area, which was a great help.

The property was just what we were looking for on our first trip to Maine. We were somewhat secluded yet close to several very nice towns on the coast. The view, of the lake, from the house was great and offered easy access for launching our kayaks. We caught a variety of fish; pickerel, large and small mouth bass, and brook trout from Hobbs Pond and considering my fiance' only caught sunfish in the past made it a great experience for her.

On the Water in Maine was great to work with in planning our vacation. They were efficient, pleasant, and proactive - excellent service.

What I loved most about the Bar Island Cottage was the privacy. Waterfront properties in New Hampshire (my home state) are close in proximity, making privacy a challenge. We felt like we had the world to ourselves at this house.

When I needed assistance with something at the property, Justin was very quick to respond and promptly addressed the issue. He was very professional and a pleasure to work with. When I arrived at the property, the internet was not working and I could not locate the DVD player. Justin tried to help me troubleshoot the problem over the phone however, we did not have much success. Justin then came out to the property promtly and installed the DVD player and reset the internet router. Yay! :)

Nemo Nisi Mors has the best view in Owls Head. To be able to look at Owls Head Bay from the living room everyday was nothing short of amazing. I was able to see the sun glistening on the blue water and hear the waves crash against the shore as the tides rolled in. And I was greeted every morning with the sound of birds singing. At night, the sky was magnificent as there were a million stars twinkling overhead. I couldnt have asked for anything more! It was pure serenity.

Beautiful property. We had a wonderful time, even though it rained most of the week, we had a lovely time. We were especially thankful for all the games, which we made use of nightly!! We will definitely be returning!

On the Water in Maine did an excellent job for us. When I made the reservation online, I got a call within 5 minutes to help with the arrangements. We got regular "count-down" email notices, with all the information we needed, including very specific driving directions, and all the contact information. Bruce Hall, the local manager, was very friendly and helpful.

This is a perfect cottage, in a perfect location. As stunning as the pictures are, they don't do it justice. Our first evening we just stood on the back porch, gazed out over the bay, and took in the powerful silence. The twice daily 13 foot tides are impressive, and we started telling time by them instead of the clock ("We'll go walking at half past high tide"). On clear nights, the star fields are dense and sparkling. The cottage was spotless and well-equipped. Dorr Lobster (just down the road) has excellent lobsters. One point: If you have Verizon cell phone service, you're out of range here. There is an Internet connection however. We picked up cell service again in Ellsworth. We'd love to return. Next time, we'll either bring or rent kayaks.

It was very helpful that the outside lights were on when we arrived Saturday evening. Thank you, Justin, for coming to Halcyon to deal with minor repairs. You and the rest of your staff at On the Water in Maine are always very pleasant to work with.

Halcyon Point Cottage is a blissful site. We very much enjoyed the home and the setting. Neighbors, human and animal, were engaging. Thank you for sharing.

Had some difficulty getting in to the place when I arrived as the code I was emailed didn't work. I called On The Water and Justin came out within a few minutes, let us in and changed the code. Turns out there was a mix up and he was professional, apologetic and helpful.

Loved the incredible water views from the living room, downstairs bedroom and upstairs bedroom and living area. Although it was a bit cold outside, we also enjoyed the deck when we could.

On the Water in Maine was excellent, we had a small issue and Justin fixed it FAST

The house was GREAT!

We found everyone that we encountered at On The Water In Maine to be extremely professional, friendly and always eager to help.

The view, the view, the view! In addition to the gorgeous view, we enjoyed the charming dcor of the cottage an found it to be very well appointed, clean and comfortable.

On the Water in Maine was very easy to work with and accommodating for first time renters.

A beautiful, private and spacious home!

Everyone at On the Water was extremely helpful and pleasant. They anticipated our every need and provided for it. We had to have a piece of medical equipment mailed to us and they even delivered it to us. I could not have been happier with everyone and everything! P.S. Several of them even wished us a happy anniversary! This was so nice and personal!

We loved everything about the Harbor Light Cottage, but I really loved having coffee while overlooking the harbor! The view is incredible!

Thank you all so much for making our honeymoon so special! The gorgeous view! Keypad locks, cute decor, functioning kitchen, attention to calls by staff at On the Water in Maine.

The house is situated in a cluster of trees and thus very cool in summer days. The location is very serene and quiet offering a great sense of 'getting away from it all'. Yet it's an easy ride to town for lobster and other goodies. Nice house design and layout, and the screened-in porch was perfect for afternoon tea. The view from the deck is unobstructed and expansive. Great place for a vacation!

All of our interations with On the Water in Maine were very positive. From the reservation, to check in, to departure was very organized and thorough.

Our family, which includes two small children, have stayed at Seagate Cottage twice now with one of them being an extended stay. The house is in a beautiful secluded location along the peaceful Kennebeck River. We enjoyed both stays for a quite a few reasons. Just a few are the thick woods, tidal waters, rocks to explore, occasional large boat passing by, swimming and beautiful sunsets. Once while we were there we even got to see a Navel Ship launch from Bath Iron Works (amazing sight). The screened in detached porch and the front deck were our favorite spots. Also, the location is close to everything with our favorites being Five Islands, Reid State Park and Popham Beach.

The staff at On the Water in Maine is very outgoing and helpful. We loved the house's design, wood floors, big windows, tasteful and very comfortable. Having cocktails out on the deck, watching the sunlight play off the Kennebec River was fantastic. Great location, quiet yet only 10 minute drive to Bath.

The peaceful setting and outstanding views compliment this charming house for a true sense of Maine living. The floor plan is open yet very cozy and we have found that it's a perfect spot for making family memories! I would highly recommend this beautiful house and all it has to offer. We will definitely be repeaters!
