Guest Reviews

On the Water in Maine was easy to work with to plan our vacation stay. The concierge service was very helpful. Be sure to call them with any questions during your stay.

Chestnut Cottage is beautiful. The furnishings and decor are very comfortable and relaxing. We especially enjoyed sitting on the deck for coffee in the mornings. We cooked out on the grill on two evenings during our stay. Those were two of our favorite meals. The property included everything we could have needed for our stay...all you need are your personal items and food.

On the Water in Maine is great to work with. No problems at all.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Ducktrap Cottage. It's a lovely cottage that is in a beautiful setting. Very relaxing and comfortable. We would definitely stay again. Thank you

Our family was referred to On The Water in Maine by two local business owners. We have rented 3 properties over the past two years with On the Water in Maine and have not been disappointed. The staff is very efficient, courteous and attentive. We have vacationed in Maine for 15 years and have found renting a home the best value for our lifestyle.

Lakeside Lilly's was located on a quiet pond on a quiet dead end road, this is exactly what we were looking for. The house was spacious and had been updated, yet retained its "campy" feel. The property was very clean and comfortable.

Very impressive - we were treated like family. Ben was great taking care of things for us and very punctual.

Breakfast on the deck watching the lobster boats.

On the Water in Maine Inc. made e very good job from the beginning of the booking procedure until the descriptions for the arrival. Thanks for that!

We where looking for a quiet place on the sea and we were very happy with this place directly on the waterfront. The cottage was very clean and well equipped. We had a wonderful week there and we can recommend it to everybody.

Smooth working experience. Enjoyed all the details provided before and during our stay. No surprises and we like that.

The location was perfect. Our favorite feature of the house is the porch, and we enjoyed taking in the view of the harbor every day. We also loved being able to walk to the General Store, The Dip Net, for lobsters or to take the Laura B to Monhegan. This is concerning the TV......while we understand the owners probably aren't big TV watchers, it sure was uncomfortable to sit on hard dining room chairs to watch it. I would imagine most guests would prefer the TV be in the front room where there are overstuffed chairs. I preferred to watch the harbor view, but my husband preferred TV.....even on hard chairs!!!!

Working with the office through e-mail is efficient and easy. Working with Ben on the few problems during our stay has been very pleasent.

The location of Bay Breeze is wonderful; private, quiet, and on the ocean. The house is superior to any rental we have ever utilized.

Very courteous and helpful

Perfect get away! Our only disappointment is not being able to use the fireplace.

I cannot say enough about how nice it was to rent through On the Water in Maine. I have rented many homes, and this agency was by far the best to work with. The caretaker of the homes, Ben was great. He answered immediately when we had a question, and was right there if we needed anything.

We stayed at 40 Sea Street for the Camden Film Festival. There were 4 of us, and we all enjoyed the house very much. It is a short walk into town, so no need of a car into Camden. The kitchen was perfect for us, cooking meals at home. There is a large table to eat, and plenty of room to relax in the living room and porch. The only down side was the small bunk bed room. The two women who shared that room were not that comfortable. I think the house is perfect for two couples, and children in the bunk room, but not adults in that room. The King and Queen bedrooms were very comfortable. We had one bathroom, but worked that out fine. Everything you could want was there, and we would definitely rent this house again.

Very personable and professional family run business that made the rental arrangements easy.

Atlantic Sunrise is an top notch,lovely and comfortable home in a setting that takes your breath away from sunrise, high and low tide to stargazing.

I have used many rental agents for vacation properties in various parts of the U.S.--this was the easiest to book, check-in, and check-out.

The view was fantastic! The location felt remote but was convenient to restaurants, shopping and more.

Very detailed oriented agency, much appreciated.

Everything and more that was expected from viewing on website. Beds super! But it was the view that will have us planning to come back!

Very easy making a reservation and easy contacting Justin for any questions we had.

It was clean and nicely landscaped. Enjoyed playing table tennis at night!

Working with On the Water in Maine Inc. is easy and enjoyable - no hassels.

We loved the porches and large kitchen at Harmony cottage.

My experience with On the Water in Maine was very positive. From the moment I made the online reservation, the agency was very communicative. The rental transaction went quickly and smoothly, again with good communication from On the Water in Maine. We were provided clear information on the property location, directions for accessing the cottage, and information about the area. We called the agency to report a minor issue (that turned out to be a non-issue), and they were quickly responsive. Staff were also very helpful when a family member was attempting to call us at the cottage. We were extremely pleased with our interactions with On the Water in Maine.

The Ducktrap Cottage was a perfect spot to spend our week in Maine. It was in a quiet location just a short walk to the water and was convenient to locations that we wanted to visit. The cottage was very comfortable. One of my favorite features was the sun room, a great bright spot to read. I was delighted to find a pitcher of fresh-cut flowers in the sun room when we arrived, a thoughtful touch. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed, the bed was comfortable, and it was convenient having access to Wi-Fi. We also challenged each other at the horseshoe pit in the back yard! When you rent a cottage online, you are never exactly sure what it will be like. We were very happy with the Ducktrap Cottage.

Property was as represented and administrative matters went flawlessly. Truly a first class experience. Great value for money.

Location was perfect. House and furnishings exceeded expectations. Service from managers timely and efficient. Could not have asked for nothing more.

The staff at On the Water in Maine were very professional and helful... the entire process was easy and stress free.

The cottage was just wonderful so quaint. The two seperate bedrooms was nice as we shared the facility with our friends from Colorado and it gave us each our privacy at bedtime. The ocean views were beautiful and the night sky and stars were just breathtaking.

Our experience with On the Water in Maine was entirely positive. On the one occasion when help was needed, Justin was there and solved our problem within minutes.

The contemporary interior was fresh, attractive, spacious, and tastefully done. The harbor view from the living/dining area and from the balcony were especially attractive features.

Easy check-in and -out by phone. Clear pre-instructions via email made it easy to find the cottage and get in.

Nice cottage in a quiet and peaceful location with beautiful views. The cottage has everything you need for a perfect stay.

Everything about dealing with the owners/managers was a pleasant experience. They are very organized, helpful and professional.

We loved our stay at Ducktrap Cottage. The location in mid-coast Maine is perfect for explorations both north and south and the house itself is on a lovely property just a few yards from the water on a very quiet little road. The sun room is a treasure.

Booking on-line was easy and the agency was very clear & direct about what we would find on arrival...and what was expected of us as guests. No surprises.

Sept.24, 14 My husband & I and our friends all agreed that this pair of cottages was THE perfect spot for us to stay in mid coast Maine. They were private, near the ocean, beautifully appointed and comfortable. The houses were delightful and eagles & ospreys constantly entertained us while we were sitting on the rocks beside the water. Only suggestion is to add a guest book... so people can share their experiences & preferences with future guests. Will definitely be back!

They are very accommodate.

This place is so wonderful. Visited for a week in September with group of 14 and it was absolutely perfect for our needs. Being right on the lake was most enjoyable.
