Easy to work with, and efficient operation.

It's a quiet lovely setting, with access to a rocky granite shore, nice view over the sea to the east and south, and protected from the wind by tall evergreens, mostly spruces. Access to the site on Rackliff Island is via a causeway and private roads. It's a relatively new structure with a modern kitchen, bedroom, and bath on the lower level, also a deck with grill and table with umbrella. The upper level also has a bed, and a comfortable couch with cable TV, and large windows with excellent sea views. A separate bungalow with a double bed and a single bunk is adjacent to the main house, ideal for children or young adults; however there is no bathroom in that structure. As we are an older retired couple, we did not have a use for that part of the arrangement.

On The Water In Maine was so easy to work with -- the information provided in advance made arrival easy, and the check-in and check-out procedures were very straightforward. We had to contact them once after hours about an alarm that went off, and they were helpful and responsive. We were very impressed with every stage in the process!

Ledgelawn was the perfect location for our annual family reunion: spacious enough to accommodate the entire clan, with a well-equipped kitchen for cooking together and a deck that provided a wonderful spot for outside dining. The dock provides easy access to the water for boating or swimming, and the pool was a great option for those among us who were less enamored of very cold ocean water.

Very good experience

Very well appointed home, every need has been thought of.

On the Water was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect vacation.

Amazing, gorgeous view, quiet, wonderful location on the water, beautiful paint colors and furniture. My family loved the property and enjoyed it immensely.

Our only issue with the rental this summer was not with On The Water in Maine, but the owner wasn't sure she would put it on the rental program this summer and when she did and we requested 2 weeks, one week was later withdrawn as the owner didn't realize she'd allowed renting for the 2nd week, so we had to select a 3rd rental. It was a lot of moving about from one rental to the other.

We have stayed at Weeks End several years in a row and love its location and views. The 2 bedrooms and baths are convenient for 2 couples. The kitchen is well equipped. We also appreciate the flowers in vases when we arrive.

On the Water in Maine answered all of my questions, gave me excellent advice and helped in every way I needed to make the vacation PERFECT. Justin was calm and very easy-going when our dog puked on the carpet. I expected a different response from him and felt so grateful that he not only cleaned up the stain, but that he we understanding of the situation. THANK YOU!!!

The location was perfect for my family. We spent most of our time on the dock and on the water. We loved that the pond didn't have a lot of traffic on it and that everything was so quiet.

The condition of the house exceeded our expectations. It was absolutely spotless. The living areas were open and had great flow so you could all be in the same room, whether you were in the kitchen, dining, or living room. Many large windows allowed us to enjoy the water view from every room, and to allow plenty of sunlight in. The screened in porch is what really sold us. We spent hours and hours there making it our outdoor living room. Since the walkway is also roofed, we could enjoy the outdoor space rain or shine. We cooked most meals at the house during our 2 weeks at Seagate. We had absolutely everything we needed from cookie sheets, to measuring spoons and cups, cheese grater, plenty of pots and pans. We appreciated the owner's thoughtful touches such as the driftwood sculpture outside the kitchen window, flower boxes, the hammock, games, books, grill, you name it. The house is well located between Popham and Reid, a quick ride to Bath, as well as nearby favorites such as Five Island and Osprey Restaurant. Sewell Pond was a great bonus.

Very helpful

We loved the property- quiet location, beautiful interior, great views.

An excellent agency with a wonderful staff which is always helpful. The house cleaning crew always does an outstanding job.

Great location and a fine view of the lake. Easy access to the dock and safe diving into the water; sturdy ladder for climbing out. Stable platform for getting into kayaks and canoes. The cottage has nice size rooms, large kitchen, and spacious dining-living area. Porches run across the front and one side of the main floor with a gas grill and picnic table.

Very straight forward.

The location is excellent close to both the water and services. The views are spectacular! The property is very private with a great open area behind the house.

Efficient and pleasant. No hiccups.

Excellent house, noisy street. Home was warm and cheerful, sunny and spacious. The homeowners have outfitted it with practically everything you would need and of best quality.The walk to the library park with coffee mug in hand to view the harbor waking up was my highlight. The serene Lake Megunticook just 5 minutes up the road, Camden Hills State park a short ride north, the local wine purveyor and town grocer literally just a stroll away. The shopping was interesting and varied and excellent quality. Camden is a charming town with no sour notes. We will be back.

Always professional, courteous and helpful,

My third year at Sea Cliff - we love it. The best view!

Great customer service!

Beautiful views from anywhere in the house! Lovely home with big yard...nice private spot.

On the Water in Maine was incredibly responsive prior to our stay but other than this survey that was sent out immediately was unresponsive afterwards. I have now left 2 messages and not heard back post check out.

Pinetree Cottage was a fabulous rental. We stayed there for a family reunion as my Aunt's lives on the point around the corner and it was furnished well, had all of the needed amenities and we loved being able to be right on the water.

OTW makes renting a home simple. We have rented through OTW for the last 4 years and never had a negative experience. Homes are always as advertised.

Repeat rental of house - Great for a group of 8 with separate bedrooms and baths. View from back deck can't be beat. Everything about the house is outstanding.

The agency's staff and owner were helpful and minor issues were sorted out quickly and efficiently.

We stayed as a party of four adults at Flora's Waterfront Retreat in early August. The property seemed to us to be newly refurbished. It was exceptionally clean, some of the equipment seemed hardly used and all was in good working order. The property is in a beautiful location immediately overlooking a bay and, although there are other properties nearby, the area was quiet and peaceful. It is very spacious, benefits from lots of large windows overlooking the bay and is tastefully decorated.

The agency is quick to respond to even the smallest needs.

Our second stay with On the Water in Maine was as sweet as the first: relaxing, paddling near loons, quiet.

On the water staff were very helpful, and enthusiastic about the house and town. Great, great service.

The location of the house was perfect- access to the town, a small rocky beach, and the harbor walk. The house was beautifully decorated and quite comfortable- a few problems with a window off the track and operating the showers, but the caretaker was very helpful and resolved both issues immediately. Minor issue in the master bedroom was the lack of bedside lighting for reading at night- not a big issue, but being able to not get out of bed to turn off the wall light would be appreciated. Another minor detail is the skylight in the 3rd floor bedroom, another lovely room, but wow, bright in the morning. A shade perhaps to keep out the morning light and/or hot sun? But again, this house was lovely. - (1/12/2018) The owners have installed a new light-blocking shade for the third floor bedroom, as well as bedside lights for reading.

Great, was seamless.

Loved staying here, a slice of heaven. If you need to get away from it all there is no better place. It was quaint, private, clean and the cottage has everything you may need. Adorably decorated in a quintessential Maine beach cottage way.

Absolutely loved the house and location. Well appointed kitchen along with all the other comforts of home. Quiet neighborhood setting with beautiful ocean front views . Close to Freeport and other points of interest as well as quick and easy access to Portland''s great little airport. One of our family's best vacations together. Everyone commented that it was so "hard to leave" such a great place. Thank You!

On the Water does an excellent job!

The Keefe Cottage was old and the floors were uneven, but it was quite nice and in good repair. The waterfront and the porch were beautiful.

On the Water in Maine was very helpful in answering questions and very understanding when we arrived late and tired and had a little trouble opening the key lock box.

The cottages were clean and well appointed. Great location with beautiful views of the inlet. Clear instructions make following the rules easy.
