Guest Reviews

Our experience working with On the Water Maine was very positive. They helped us locate the property and were very responsive to our questions.

Very beautiful and quiet location. The cottage itself was rustic, as expected. With respect to improvements, the TV did not work, the lamp in the center of the living area did not work because the light socket did not work, the lighting in general was too low, and the doors to most rooms did not close all the way. That said, these limitation did not have a great impact on our enjoyment of the property.

Everyone from the agency was terrific. They were instantly responsive, always helpful, friendly and polite. We had a small issue with water pressure (which resolved by itself) but they were ready to swing into action even at 10pm on a Sunday night. Very much appreciated!

Periwinkle Cottage was gorgeous. There are lots of different spaces to sit, so kids can play videogames on the TV and adults can read books without bothering each other. The deck has a lovely view and the smell of the ocean was intoxicating.

Excellent

This is an outstanding vacation rental. I hesitate to write the review because it may make a return very difficult. I have never rented a property that was as completely equipped as this. Everything that one might want or need was available in the house including washer/dryer/wifi/firepit/gas grill. It had spectacular unobstructed views of Penobscot Bay from the east facing windows and from the second floor porch. There was plenty of comfortable seating including rockers, Adirondack chairs, and a table seating for four or more. A right-of-way access to the beach area was available. We watched seals, loons, and various boating activity from the porch. The property was quiet and centrally located for visits to shore resorts including Camden and Acadia.

Kelsey started the fabulous vacation. I called and spoke with her about a year before our trip and described my family and what we have enjoyed about previous vacations. She took my description and recommended about 4 properties for me to consider. Since I was totally unfamiliar with the area, her advice was invaluable. I believe we would have been totally happy with either of the top 2 properties I ranked from her list.

This property was perfect for my family! We loved fishing, riding the canoe and kayaks and relaxing. The close proximity to Camden was wonderful for us, too.

Smooth, flawless

New England paradise! Our 6th year at this property. The dogs didn't want to leave!

We had a few issues, including the PIN code for the door being incorrect and your agency was great about solving them - even on a Saturday!

We loved the view! Every afternoon was spent out front reading and just relaxing and watching the ferry go by. We had a power outage and the fact there was a generator was fantastic! It even got so cold we needed to turn on the fireplace. Overall it was an amazing stay.

The rental agency was efficient and easy to use.

The water views were phenomenal. You could pretend you were on a boat!

OTWM was great to work with--easy to use the website and representatives were always pleasant.

Great summer rental home. The owners clearly have an eye for decor and "little things" needed. From cookware/utensils to make a gourmet meal, to reading lamps over the sofa/chairs. Definitely a home away from home.

We have rented houses from On the Water in Maine many times and have always been impressed with the service.

Ginn Point Cottage is a very comfortable house. The view can't be beat and easy access to the beach is wonderful. We brought kayaks and launched them right in front of the house. We enjoyed cooking lobsters several times at the house and the lobster pot outside is very convenient. It was very hard to leave such a wonderful place

The agency was very helpful when we called for assistance with lightning and linens. When the garbage disposal started to leak I phoned the after hours line and it was answered immediately. A plumber came the first thing the following morning and put in a new disposal. He was friendly and thorough. Very impressive!

As always we were impressed with the accommodations through On the Water in Maine. We love the view and also love seeing the working harbor. The neighbors are friendly.

Everyone at On the Water in Maine was extraordinarily helpful, and they made the whole process very smooth and easy. I look forward to working with them in the future!

This property was the perfect vacation rental for our family! It was big enough that we could all stay under the same roof but still have our own space. The downstairs game room with the ping pong table was one of our favorite places to spend time together, unless we were outside. The outdoor space was incredibly peaceful and beautiful- sitting on the dock listening to the loons was one of my favorite activities during our stay! I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice peaceful week away from it all!

Prompt responsive efficient Quickly connected us to the property we were seeking based on need for deep water dock Great follow up Professional to a fault

Stunning , absolutely stunning , location and resulting panoramic view Incredibly organized owners who left nothing to chance and missed nothing Extremely comfortable for family Very clean Good fishing We are vrbo owners down south so are familiar w the owners effort and the dealings between owners and agents OTWIM is off the charts

Always a pleasure to work together with the folks at On The Water in Maine. Always available and professional.

We really enjoyed our stay at Loons Nest, it was the perfect combination of house and lake that we have found over our 3 years of renting a lake house in the area. The house was very comfortable, kitchen well equipped and the screened in porch was awesome!

The staff at OTW were all top notch. They were all very knowledgeable and wanted their customers to have the best possible experience. They were always very quick to respond to my emails or calls and very polite.

Candy's Cove Cottage was phenomenal. The views were breathtaking, the layout of the house was perfect, the property was quiet and secluded. It felt like we were on our own island.

Super easy to book and information all very clear and accurate!

Beautiful house in perfect location. Very well appointed.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. We appreciate the quick response when we had a plumbing issue. Paige and her team really went above and beyond to resolve it quickly.

We love Marylea Cottage. It's a beautiful, rustic home with beautiful views of Rockport Harbor, nice outdoor spaces, and access to the shoreline.

On the Water Maine was easy to work with and the house was provided with all the necessary amenities for a week-long stay.

Great house in an excellent location. Beautiful sunrises over the lake every morning can be seen right from the porch. The house has a nice dock in a quiet cove that is great for swimming.

Very helpful. Check in/out was very simple. When I had a question and called, they answered quickly.

The house was absolutely beautiful! It worked very well for my family!

These pros take care of everything for you. House is always clean and any problem quickly resolved. They have beautiful properties and do all the work in insuring you have a great vacation.

Location, location, location. What a beautiful spot.

Working with On the Water in Maine could not have been easier. The property was just as expected, and was fantastic. The pre-arrival notifications answered all our questions and made getting into the house simple. Checking out was also easy. We loved our trip to Maine and are looking forward to coming back. When we do, we'll definitely start by checking On the Water in Maine first.

We loved Hillcrest House. The Bayside community and the Hillcrest porch were our favorite attributes of the rental property.

The staff at On the Water in Maine are so helpful and make everything so easy! Paige was great to work with during the reservation process. She made everything easy and worry free. Thanks!

This is our third year staying at Deep Cove Cottages and once again it was wonderful. The new sun room and balcony were great additions to the property and we enjoyed using them! The cottage is so private and quiet and makes for a relaxing vacation. It is also located very close to Port Clyde (great ice cream shop!), Marshall Point Lighthouse and Drift Inn beach. Rockland is a short drive with great shopping, galleries and restaurants (Home Kitchen Cafe is a favorite). We so enjoyed our time at the cottages and will definitely return!
