Paige was friendly and responded immediately to our issue of the cable TV suddenly not working. The young man in the office (I'm sorry; I'm forgetting his name!) was friendly and accommodating as I inquired about reserving the upstairs unit of this building for next year. As a business owner, I like the professionalism, customer service, and attention to detail that On the Water brings to the table.

As repeat vacationers with OTWIM, we continue to be very pleased with all aspects of our stay. Highlights of our two weeks this year were: a) excellent rental property (Head of the Harbor in Camden), b) Very pleasant time to visit (Mid-Late May, before the town is overwhelmed by others), and c) a responsive and supportive organization.

Every experience with working with "On the Water in Maine" organization was excellent. the staff was very friendly and informative when we were making our initial plans, the information provided prior to arrival was descriptive and clear (in every case, we received communications on the exact day that the Agency had committed to - this has not been our consistent experience with other properties and agencies). Additionally, the Property Information Book was very clear and, during our stay, the staff was very responsive to questions and requests. Overall, we evaluate the support and organization as very friendly, efficient, and professional.

We have rented vacation houses in Camden for about 15 of the last 17 years. Some of our rentals have been better than others, but with this background, our family rates "Head of the Harbor" as our best rental ever. The primary reasons for this evaluation are: spacious, comfortable, clean, very well-equipped, dedicated off-street parking, and an outstanding location close to the library, downtown, restaurants, etc. With four adults and one seven year-old Grandson, we made full use of the three bedrooms (and three bathrooms) and washer/dryer, but never felt cramped. Additionally, the porch was very comfortable and convenient for either a morning cup of coffee or just looking at the harbor. Bottom Line - the entire family loved Head of the Harbor and, depending on our schedules, intend to stay there again.
