We have stayed at the Waterside Retreat seven or eight times and are always very pleased. There's nothing fancy about it. It's really very simple. But it works and works perfectly. It's immaculately clean, well furnished, with good central air conditioning and wonderful beds. We've stayed at much more lavish and expensive properties over the years, but we will continue to come back to Waterside when we return to Maine.

Our stay was marvelous! The house was perfect for two seniors, two adults, and two teens that stayed there. The home was well laid out for our family, and well furnished. The view was beautiful! And the walking access to town was a definite plus. We were able to walk to the shops and restaurants with ease.

We've worked with On the Water since it's first year of business and we've never been disappointed in their service, their professionalism, and the manner in which they insure that their properties are ready for occupancy. They're available if you need them and they don't bug you if you don't. Tiffany, Paige and the crew and simply wonderful.

We've stayed at the Waterside Retreat for several years and we're always very pleased with the property. The home is not overly fancy, but it is extremely functional - from a wonderful air conditioning system to the three large bedrooms, the wonderful equipped kitchen, and it incredibly wonderful location two or three blocks from everything to see, do and eat in Rockland.

Your team is awesome! As I stated above Paige was a great help and so friendly. Jack came to our rescue with a bedroom door key because the door became inadvertently locked. He was super nice. Meg helped with all of that as well, and couldn't have been nicer. Fantastic team. Each and everyone of you. Everyone was kind and accommodating. Paige was especially helpful and provided tips on local restaurants and things to do.

We've worked with On the Water since the agency opened about a decade ago. We've always been completed satisfied with their service, and this year was no exception. Paige was a pleasure to work with - from the day we booked our stay until we left Maine. Forget Home Away and VBRO. Stick with On the Water!

The Waterside Retreat is a terrific value for those wanting to spend time in wonderful Rockland. We're stayed there in the past, but were thrilled to find a host of upgrades to the house that enhanced every aspect of our visit. There's nothing fancy about the Retreat - but for sheer comfort, a perfect location, and if one wants a home where everything just works perfectly, it cannot be beat. Our only regret is that we could only stay one week. We'll not make that mistake next year.

This is the third time our family has rented this property, and, as on the other years, it did not disappoint. Each room having an en suite was quite nice. We enjoyed the updates to the kitchen. All the rooms are comfortable and spacious. The location works well for us as it is within walking distance of restaurants, shopping, Farnsworth, etc. and right across from the harbor walk. My only suggestion (and I know this is difficult when stocking rental property) is to include a good sharp knife. Even those "disposable" Hinkels are pretty good; better than the assortment currently in the kitchen.

We love this house! We rented two years in a row with friends from So. Carolina. This house is solid ,homey, plenty of room ( rarely found 3 beds with 3 bathrooms.). The location is amazing! You an walk to restaurants, pubs, shops and you're a few miles from Camden, Thomaston, Rockport. Easy day trips include Boothbay Harbor, Pemaquid, Wiscasset,Lincolnville among others. You're also close to ferry terminal including Knights dock where you can buy lobsters fresh off the boat! Take those lobsters to Cuzzys in Camden and they'll cook them for $1 each! That's how they support their local fisherman! The house is so convenient yet quiet and serene.

On the Water in Maine was awesome! Justin was caring and always reachable. When we had a problem his response was so fast and problem was solved. We woke up to no hot water on day after arrival. One call to Justin and problem solved in one hour! Justin originally apologized that it might takes some time to fix until later that day. We received call within an hour from his service man and they had solved the problem!
