Guest Reviews

Staff at On the Water in Maine, Inc were both professional and courteous.

Short of not being able to gain water access from the shore, our overall experience was great none the less. (This inaccessibility due to the lack of a dock and very muddy shoreline.) However, the interior of this home made up for this. The open floor plan, bath on suite to each bedroom, and floor to ceiling windows on the west side of living area made for a pleasant stay. Oh, and did I mention access to the deck from the Master Bedroom. The water views of Sheepscot River whether at sunrise or sunset, be it inside or on the deck were picture perfect.The grounds were impeccably kept. Though a bit steep from the deck area, there was ample flat surface area perfect for bocce. The fire pit and hammock completed the relaxed vacation experience. Can't say enough positives about the interior. The whitewashed tongue and grooved pine walls brighten those few overcast days we encountered.

Very responsive and well organnized

Wonderful cottage: well designed and equipped. Very comfortable surroundings and amazing art history library. Beautifully decorated.

The employees at On the Water are extremely pleasant and knowlegable to work with! Every phone conversation or e-mail was very informative and I would highly recommend them!

Favorite features: The View! The decor of the cottage was lovely!

Very much appreciated the level of communication with On the Water (booking process, before arriving, afterwards). Would definitely use OTWIM again and would recommend them to others.

The setting was wonderful overlooking a beautiful bay, providing amazing sunsets, working lobster wharves nearby. The location was great -- within easy (20 minutes) drives to Rockland, Thomaston and Port Clyde and all they have to offer. The house was very well equipped and very clean, with a few exceptions. The gas grill is pretty cheap and wasn't great to grill on. But these are quibbles and easily fixed. Overall the stay was wonderful. I wished we'd booked two weeks instead of one. Would definitely go back and would definitely recommend.

On the Water is a great company...personable and easy to work with. Everything is clear and communication is good and timely. We had an issue with the lock on the door, and we reached Justin by phone in the evening on the first try. He was there the next morning to take care of the problem.

Our stay was wonderful. The house is clean and comfortable. We love sitting on the deck in the morning watching the sunrise over the water. We appreciate the comfortable seating and the great kitchen. Our only concern is the rising price; it is headed out of our range.

Efficient , easily accessible

Spacious, comfy, clean, amazing views and great spot for swimming , SUP etc,

We found that the Ben was very quick to respond to any concerns or questions we had about the property.

The view onto Hobbs Pond is wonderful. It is a calm pond with only a little boat traffic.

On the Water in Maine was great to work with -- very responsive and clear. They facilitated a wonderful stay for us.

Our stay at With-Thee-By-the-Sea was outstanding! We loved the house and its location. It was the perfect size for our family and we loved the proximity to the water and the shared dock. It was in a lovely community and close to everything we wanted to see. We would love to come back.

These guys make it really easy to have a great vacation. Super organized and friendly - On the Water in Maine is great!

We love this house for use with young kids. It is super quiet. There is plenty of room to play inside and out. The kitchen is great. Of course the location and the pond/dock/float are amazing.

Ben was very helpful and resourcful in arranging our initial stay.

Very clean and cozy. We all felt at home inside and most of what we needed was already there.

Your agency was great to work with. Everything was done electronically including agreements and payments- worked very well for us. The agency communicated with us very well - clear instructions from agreements to driving instructions and everything in between. The check-in and check-out was extremely easy- very nice system.

We absolutely loved the house we rented in Maine. The front and back yard were great for our kids to run around. Our kids loved the play structure in the backyard and the hammock in the front yard. We spent a lot of our time in the yard and on the deck- the views were fabulous. The house was well maintained with all amenities that we needed. The kitchen was very well equipped- we were able to cook-in most of the week. Overall, our family had a wonderful time.

An absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend On the Water in Maine and will be using you again in the future.

Absolutely loved the house - it was the most perfect setting for a family getaway. We enjoyed the back porch, the kitchen, really everything

On the Water in Maine was great, and the email updates were helpful--even if, perhaps, a bit too wordy for reading on an iphone :)

Loved the house. Great kitchen especially. Very comfortable for us.

Great agency - would use On the Water in Maine again!

Summer vacation for just me and my 11 year old. This property was incredible! Wonderful views of the lake and so peaceful. The best of both worlds fresh water at your back door and the rocky coast a short drive away. Every thing we needed was close by when I could get my son off\out of the water! House was better then I expected; clean, comfortable and well stocked! This was a hard property to leave. Best vacation in years!

The agency was terriffic to work with. Extremely easy to complete all transactions.

The home is beautifully done. I loved sitting in the window seats and reading. The beach has an incredible sunrise. My favorite thing was walking on the beach in the morning. The owners home was closer than we expected and the yard is shared with the owner. The owner was very pleasant. While the yard was not an issue for us, it was a suprise, how close the homes were.

All of our contact with On the water in Maine was professional and easy. The check-in and check out process was effortless, and when we had to report minor storm damage to the house, our agent was calm and efficient, and a note was left on the door that it would be fixed that day.

We loved our week at Pausa Les Cua in Stockton Springs, Maine. Sunrise on the deck was stunning, and the stillness in the mornings and at night made for a very restful stay. The house and property were inviting and made us feel at home immediately. The up-to-date features combined with the old-fashioned feel to the house made for a very friendly atmosphere. All of our needs and wants were anticipated.

On the water is a great crew to work with, very informative and organized.

The amazing water view.

Organized and professional. The one problem we had was attended to efficiently.

Secluded, quiet, lovely views,amazing sunsets. Great screened room to enjoy outdoors and foil the bugs. Very tastefully decorated. Good information about local activities/services. Drive to all services, but a great area.

Extremely well organized. Very helpful and responsive.

Place was beautiful. It was well stocked and very clean. Lake was beautiful. It was quiet. As Kayakers we felt safe because there was little power boat traffic.
