The home was extremely well taken care of and very comfortable. The yard was lovely and private, we enjoyed the deck daily. Our only complaint was that the kitchen cupboards were over-filled with unnecessary dishes/glasses leaving us very little room to store groceries. No one could possibly use all the excess china and glassware stored in every nook and cranny of the kitchen!

The accumulation of artifacts, books, owls, and household tools and kitchen gadgets gave us the appreciation of decades of family events here. We felt as comfortable as their family members might on an extended Thanksgiving vacation.
The sun room was fantastic. The landscaping was also a beautiful surprise. The separate guest quarters over the garage was a wonderful privacy feature for our visitors.

Our experience with the agency was excellent. When there was a glitch getting into the garage apartment, and the lack of A/C units, the staff were immediately receptive and fixed the problems. Courtesy and efficiency. I would not hesitate to recommend you.

At Waters Edge was a home away from home. There was nothing missing at all: from the binoculars and bird books to the fully equipped kitchen, we didnt need to look for anything more. Our entire family was delighted with the property and its magical essence.

This was a second year renting with On the Water in Maine, and it was a great experience. They are very helpful from start to finish ... they had property recommendations for us when we began our house search and were wonderfully helpful when it came to making slight shifts with our stay. We would recommend them to anyone looking for summer rentals in Maine!

We absolutely loved our stay this week at Water's Edge! The house was wonderful! Our favorite part was the location ... this was our first time renting in Owls Head, which we thought we were interested in, and now know we have found our favorite spot in Maine. The location of Water's Edge was perfect - in Owls Head, so quiet and on a small private beach, but only 5 minutes from Rockland for restaurants and shopping. The views were spectacular, and our kids (and dog) loved early mornings on the beach collecting shells and rocks.

We have worked with other agencies and have ALWAYS been disappointed. On the Water in Maine is an amazing company. The communication is always there. We even got weather alerts when there was an approaching thunder storm. Any question I had they were there to answer immediately. I wanted to send my wife flowers and they helped me line it up and she was so surprised when she walked in and saw them sitting on the counter waiting for her after a long drive from Massachusetts.

I cannot say enough about Waters Edge. The entire experience was first class. The location is perfect for families with children. The kids loved exploring the ocean for all the ocean creatures. We even saw harbor seals! The driveway is perfect size for the kids to ride their bikes. We were all able to have our own 'space', but be together at the same time and give the kids the independence they cherish. The sun porch was our nightly retreat after the kids went to bed. So relaxing! We can't wait till next year!

Thank you for sharing your lovely, warm and beautifully decorated home with us. This was a second year for us to rent your home, and we hope to vacation there again next year. This is a perfect property for us to rent. The house is kept with loving care, and thoughfulness is displayed in all the details, from the kitchen with every cooking need meet to the reading materials. The grounds are beautiful with lovely flower beds and shrubs. The view is priceless! The addition of the air conditioners in the bedrooms was very much appreciated by us. I have asthma and sometimes it is difficult for me to sleep with the windows open. The air conditioners were a big help. The only suggestion that we would have for a change would be the addition of a second recliner or a more comfortable chair in the livingroom. But, that is just for personal reasons. My husband and I have arthritis, and the rockers are hard to relax in and the sofa is very soft and provides little support. However, all of the furniture is lovely. Your home is so organized and clean. Thank you again! Gloria and Harry
