Guest Reviews

On the Water is THE most "together" agency we have ever encountered. Everything is thoughtfully planned and anticipated for a great rental experience. The personal contact and follow-up made our stay even better.

It was only a few steps from the cottage to the fire pit and the high tide coming up to the firepit meant we had to do very little to get the most enjoyment from this very pleasant and private cottage. Fires on the beach at sunset were our favorite part of the day!

It was exceptional.

Our stay was terrific. We liked the property very much in every way.

On The Water staff are efficient and thorough. Whenever we have had an issue in an OTW property (which has been rare), it has been resolved satisfactorily.

This was our third stay at Piper Cove and we always find it perfectly suitable for just the two of us. All amenities are provided and the cleaners do a decent job of preparing the property for our visit. The favorite thing about this property is its location -- proximity to the water and an outstanding view.

I always got a response to my emails, however getting a live person on the phone proved to be more difficult. As someone who prefers email, I was okay with that, but in a couple of boilerplate emails/ correspondence, it stated I needed to speak to someone personally, so there was a little frustration as I was concerned there would be complications with the rental, not being able to get someone on the phone. That being said, the communication I had via email was enough. It was also very pleasant. The representatives are helpful, kind and friendly.

This was one of our top vacations. Very relaxing! The deck view was by far our favorite feature! I dont think Ive ever taken so many pictures on a vacation. Ive had people tell me that some of the pictures look like they are from a magazine. That is how picturesque the view from the deck and surrounding areas are. This is also the first time that we agreed that a second stay at a rental will be needed!

All encounters were great! We didn't need anything while we were in the rental, but all phone conversations up to that point were professional and prompt.

This home was FANTASTIC! Location, location, location. Windows. Windows. Windows. View. View. View. Enough said.

Great!

Loved the property! Peaceful setting! Great place to walk. Bayside is a beautiful village!

Always very kind and professional.

The home was very spacious and within a nice , easy walk to town.

My husband and I had a very positive experience with the OTW team. We appreciated the detailed information and professionalism. We are particularly thankful for the call we got from Jack and how he handled mailing us some important items that we left at the house. Outstanding! Excellent cleaning service. Please thank them again.

Location. Exceptional views. There was not one chair in the house that was not comfortable. The house was spotless! My husband and I have rented several vacation homes over the past 20 years. Flora's Retreat is our favorite rental. We are planning to return.

All of the communications from the On the Water in Maine team were detailed and very clear. We had never worked with a vacation rental company before and were very impressed with the care taken to make sure that all of the information was complete.

We loved every minute of our stay at Bar Island Cottage. We had rain during parts of the first couple of days, but were very content to stay in with the wonderful fireplace, watch movies and play games together. As soon as we arrived, we felt at home. Everything that we could have needed to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable was provided. On the Friday before we left, we again chose to stay at "home" and enjoy sitting on the deck. We were rewarded with an osprey show! First there was one fishing in the morning, then in the afternoon, there were five, possibly parents and young. We had never withnessed ospreys fishing before and it was awesome! A seal friend also popped its head up to say "Hi." The sunsets and stars were magnificent! We would highly recommend this property to anyone interested and are hoping to visit again. Thank you for allowing us to have this amazing experience in Maine!

They were professional and friendly. It was a pleasure to work with them

The house was wonderful! It was extremely clean and had many small touches that it warm and comfortable. Awesome place to relax.

It was fine, as always.

Our stay was very peaceful, and on top of all the wonderful scenery and wildlife, for that particular week our favorite feature was the heater! It was cold and wet for more than half the week.

Thanks to everyone at On The Water in Maine for making our vacation at Inn From The Cold a success! We had a great time and everything at the Inn was lovely. We were very happy with the service we got when we called to deal with the shut-off valve leak near the washing machine and to have the lightbulb over the staircase replaced. Your staff handled the situation quickly and efficiently and the person you sent to deal with the problems was personable and efficient.

We light many things about the Inn From The Cold, but our favorite feature is the lovely view from the dining room area and the fact that three people can sleep on the first floor. Also, we love the bathroom showers. And as I have bad knees, the elevator is very much appreciated! Everyone I work with at On The Water has been friendly and efficient. I am always confident that they will be able to help me if I have any problems.

The On the Water in Maine team did a great job communicating about billing and procedures for accessing the rental property.

The interior of the property was even better than the photos revealed. We were right on the lake and the setting was terrific. This is a small cottage best for either a couple or a family of three or four. You can hang out on the deck or put chairs on the float. Swimming from the float is very convenient. The kitchen was stocked much better than other properties I have rented. Plus, Camden is a very short ride away for shopping, hiking, restaurants, bay sails.

Wonderful! This was our 7th year in a row with OTWIM and all our experiences have been wonderful!

Our stay was magical! Camden Casa has a great, peaceful view of the bay, and the house is very comfortable, and offers everything we need!

On the water Maine was wonderful. They are so caring and detailed we will 100% be booking with them in the future.

The property is amazing, truly the best on the block and so close to Camden shopping, restaurants, clean and the views are breathtaking!! They have all the staples available, games, a nice dock and its truly wonderful! AT&T cell wifi was a tad weak. But overall we were on vacation so it taught us to enjoy life without electronics.

Excellent!

Summer Dreams is a beautiful property with breathtaking lake frontage and views. The cottage is very modern and comfortable, and is very nicely furnished and appointed. Would definitely stay again!

Working with the team at On the Water in Maine was delightful. Paige made everything so easy! She was helpful and informative.

I wish I could live in that house! The owners have excellent taste in design/decor. You can tell they really put a lot of thought into it; its a bit of mid-century, but still very classic Maine. Some of my favorite features include the fireplace, the view, the screened in porch and the outdoor shower.

Our Song was a great Christmas and New Year's treat! The view of the water, which you enjoy while your'e cooking and lounging, was amazingly beautiful. A full moon danced on the water for us on New Year's Eve. We enjoyed the ping pong, firepit, great kitchen supplies, dishwasher, gas woodstove, spa bathrooms, washer/dryer, soaps, and easy access to Camden. Highly recommend hiking Spruce mountain (cresting 3 mountain peaks with views of Atlantic ocean) off hwy 17 and Tanglewood River trail along the Ducktrap river. Stephanie made it festive with her charming holiday decorations. Pick up Long Grain for dinner one night.
