Guest Reviews

One of the easiest online experiences for booking a cottage. The instructions were thorough and easy to understand as were the tips. Did not have any personal contact except for check in and that was brief.

Loved the cottage. The view of the harbor and boats from the porch and living room was surreal. The cottage was very clean and had a well stocked kitchen. The beds were comfortable and the shower was great. The home is well maintained and shows that the owners take pride in ownership. We also loved the quiet location and the easy walk into Rockland. There is so much to do close by but we really enjoyed the Owls Head lighthouse state park. Our biggest day trip was to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Very enjoyable but it was nice to return to our quiet little area. Would highly recommend this cottage.

We've rented through OTWIN on 6 occasions with only minor issues at the properties and those issues were quickly resolved. We will continue to rent through OTWIM and recommed the same to others.

Well furnished, beautiful view, nice yard for the kids to play in. We liked that the Owl's Head lighthouse was a short walk away.

The folks at On the Water in Maine were very accommodating and easy to work with. All policies were very clearly spelled out.

Love the location of this cottage. The outdoor fire pit area was very relaxing and was used as often as we were able to. Also loved the long front porch. The cottage had everything necessary for a comfortable stay.

We have rented from On The Water for many years and have always found the staff to be very responsive and helpful on the rare occasion we've had any issues. With the "minimum requirement" list for any of the properties, you can plan your stay and pretty much know what to bring with you and what to leave at home. We highly recommend working with On The Water for your vacation needs.

We enjoyed our stay at Piper Cove. The house was perfect for the two of us -- very clean, well furnished, and comfortable. The view of the lake can't be beat. The dock is handy, with a ladder over the side; this allowed us to easily get in and out of the canoe for as much fishing as we could get in! The fishing was pretty good and for the first time in many, many years of loon watching we got to see a loon on the nest and the next day, the parents swam by with two tiny, just-hatched chicks bobbing in the waves. It is an easy drive to Belfast or Camden.

This was our second time using your agency, and we could not be happier or more satisfied. Everyone we dealt with at "On the Water" was very personable and professional. Sara Allenwood was our sales representative, and went out of her way to meet our needs. When we travel, our four dogs travel with us, and Sara took the time to speak with property owners to find some who would accept the dogs, as well as the property meeting our needs.

We loved the house. I was very comfortable, clean, the floor plan had a nice easy flow to it, and the views out of the living room and master bedroom were incredible. The size of the yard was perfect since we had our two grandsons and dogs with us - there was plenty of room for them to run and play. The location of the house was also a plus - a very nice, quiet street. The only suggestion I would make is the washing machine needs to be leveled. It "danced" across the floor while being used, especially during the spin cycles.

Staff are very good. They are easy to work with and know the properties well.

93 Chestnut is a charming old Camden house. The location is the best as it is an easy walk into town for shopping and restaurants. We especially enjoyed the front porch, and our granddaughter enjoyed the mostly fenced in back yard. We cooked most of our dinners in and ate in the comfortable dining room. I thought the house was a very good value.

Everythjng went fine during our stay and we did required any Assistance from the folks at On the Water.

The Sunfish cottage is a very nice cottage in a beautifull, bucolic setting in the deep woods close to Crawford Pond. It has all of the necessities and high speed internet. Theres nothing like an earl morning coffee on the deck overlooking the lake.

We have rented with your company for several years and I also appreciate the prompt and courteous service.

The beautiful view, ample outdoor seating, swim float and included kayaks and canoe kept everyone outside all week long!

Easy to work with, we had no issues so did not need to contact anyone. Bruce stopped by just to make sure all was well, very nice and helpful.

We had an absolutely lovely stay. The cottage is beautifully appointed, we loved every minute of our stay. The windows are so great to just sit and gaze out.

On the Water in Maine is such a pleasure to work with and I appreciate the email updates before and after our trip. Plus the ease of booking is also awesome!!

We love A Stones Throw and had a wonderful vacation! The new sofas were great and the property is well-stocked and well-maintained. The views of the harbor are breathtaking and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful service and support!

Rocky point estate was gorgeous! The weather and the views were breathtaking! Instead of several day trips we stayed and enjoyed the property playing family games and exploring the island. Loved the wildlife that visited and loved the cool June breezes

Renting from On The Water was an easy process. And we look forward to renting next year.

The Easy Lane Cottage was a beautiful house on a small pond. There was a swimming dock which our son really enjoyed. And we did lots of fishing. The house was comfortable and clean.

We have been with On The Water In Maine since 2012 and the service has always been excellent.

This is our second year at Rockcroft. We love the location and the views are amazing!

I rent through OTW each year! We are so happy with the way the process works! We already have another week in August planned!

The location is very quiet! The view is amazing! We watched the watermen gather their traps each morning!

On the Water Maine is a top notch company. My husband and I were nervous when we started looking for a vacation homes ideas but after finding On the Water Maine and reading all their reviews and speaking with the wonderful ladies in the office we knew we had made the correct choice. They are all amazing people and answered every question we had.

The house was beautiful and felt like home. Looking out the windows every morning at the amazing view was priceless. Our children loved the amazing open yard and played their hearts out. The floating dock was a great extra addition. This was our 1st family vacation , as we wanted our children to be older ,and from the beginning when I first called to the stay was superior. We have raved to all our friends and family about how impressed and happy we were with everything. This will be somewhere we are planning on doing every year.

OTW has been great to work with, both in finding a property, and in any problems we found during our stay.

Everyone at the agency is professional, knowledgeable, and helpful.

The rental property is spacious, comfortable, and relaxing. Everything is steps away from your doorstep. Beautiful views, excellent restaurants, and a mix of shopping experiences. Camden is a wonderful starting point for many adventures.

Everyone has been so nice from the moment we started checking for property with your company. So happy they approved for our dog to be here.

We really cant say enough about the most perfect views from this house. Everything about the property was stunning. Plenty of room for our family inside and out. We have traveled every year with family but have never found views as perfect as these. The property was centrally located within driving to lots of shopping, restaurants, and site seeing.

I have confidence every time we stay at a home through on the water. I think weve been renting every year for about ten years. I know if there is an issue it will be promptly resolved. Both locations that we have stayed at multiple times are well maintained and equipped. Wonderfully attentive staff and owners.

Great location! near the Beach, harbor and easy walk to town. Across from the public launch for boats. Easy access to put kayaks in.

Very helpful and informative , instructions and information given well in advance , easy to contact if needed .

Secluded location , complete privacy with amazing views over the bay.The cottage is light and airy ,very well equipped and well maintained .It was just as described on the web site . We went to relax and spent hours watching the tides , the sunsets and the wildlife .

Everyone was very helpful to all our questions before and during the trip. Thanks for the help!

The place was amazing! We loved the natural modern style of the home. Having access to the water through the dock and little path was a dream.

Pretty seamless and straightforward.

We really enjoyed our Belfast Village house - everything was very clean, kitchen well stocked with everything you could need, comfortable beds and couches. Great location - enjoyed walks around the town and across the bay to pick up seafood at Young's. Enjoyed watching the Belfast Senior Prom goers, and the Belfast Pride festival, basically from our front porch!

On the Water was great...they responded right away to any issues that we had

The house was beautiful and more than big enough for our group. We loved the open feel of the house and how we never felt like we were anywhere near being on top of each other.
