OTWIM has gotten our repreat business because they are a quality agency that is customer orientated to the max. We've rented homes in the past directly from owners and it can be very variable as to what each owner does or provides to their renters. We know that OTWIM has high standards and that there won't be any issues with properties we rent through them. We have only had one issue on arrival in five years of using OTWIM and with one phone call, Justin was there to correct it immediately. What service!

This is the fifth year we have rented this property and we keep coming back for a reason. It's got great ocean frontage with a huge deck and small beach for swimming, it's very private and it's also close to town. With two couples staying here and the cottage actually two houses joined into one, it makes for great space when either couple wants to be on their own.

Communication Is fantastic! Ben is most helpful and is our favorite "go to" guy. Our 4th year renting with On the Water in Maine.

Loon Landing is the best! Provides all of the comforts of home plus the solitude of really being out in the woods. The loons woo you to sleep at night. If you want to visit a quaint village for some "home cooking" and crafts or visit the coast for some ocean air and seafood it's all there. Our fourth year at this property. We will be back!

We loved seeing personal touches in the decor. Gave the place a homey feel. The sound of the loons was incredible. The lake is not overly populated keeping the tranquility of the lake.

We were very pleased with the staff at On the Water in Maine. Everyone was very responsive regarding everything from initial questions regarding the house before we decided to rent it, to help with details on bedrooms, baby furniture rental, directions to the house, check in, check out, etc. They even installed shades in a few rooms before we arrived since we were concerned about the sunrise awakening us early. It was a great experience.

We had a wonderful stay at the Beachcomber. It is very nicely situated in Harpswell on the water, private (not on the main road) but close to several restaurants, shops, Brunswick, and other coastal attractions. The house is just as nice as it appears in photos on the website; very nicely decorated and maintained, very clean and well designed. The construction, fixtures, and furnishings are really solid and high quality. We loved the screened porch, 2 balconies overlooking the water, large fenced yard, and multiple living areas which were great for 3 generations of our family. Everyone had their own space, and plenty of space to come together as well. We feel really lucky to have found the Beachcomber; it was perfect for our family vacation. Bonus: there's a porcupine that visited the yard a few times. We had a great time watching him/ her eat the flowers on the clover.

Excellent from start to finish. You guys at On the Water in Maine think of everything. We had a small issue with a fan not working in the bedroom our first day and I was really impressed with how quickly it was repaired. Thanks for everything.

The house was spotless and extremely comfortable. I can't think of a single thing it was lacking. Our favourite part was the fantastic porch.

Thankfully, we did not have any problems but I spoke with OTW contacts a few times and I feel that they were prepared for anything that would be needed.

Our stay at Rosehill cottage was everything that we had hoped for. The cottage was a perfect place for my brother and I/kids to stay while visiting our family in the mid-coast region. In addition to the great location, the cottage was very clean and tastefully decorated with thoughtful touches. The owners have done a fantastic job updating the place with modern conveniences, yet retaining the charm and character of a classic "Maine" beach cottage that I recall from growing up on the Maine coast. As an interior design professional...and a Maine native... I'm very particular.... and Rosehill cottage was perfect!

Love working with On the Water in Maine and staff. This is our third year and we are already planning on next summer. The staff is very courteous and helpful. I am confident that my summer arrangements will be smooth and we will have a wonderful experience.

The cottage was lovely and very comfortable. We especially loved the dock and spent most of the day there, sunbathing, swimming and canoeing (we rented one for the week).
We are hoping to return to this cottage next summer.

Everyone that we spoke with at On the Water in Maine was very friendly and helpful. When we could not find a blender in the house (which was supposed to be there), a representative worked fairly quickly to resolve the problem. They were always prompt and courteous in our correspondences.

We had a great time at the Altus Cottage! The home was beautiful, and the neighborhood was mostly quiet. We loved the family-friendly touches (like toys and a baby gate) that made us feel extra welcome when we walked in the door. The two (small) beaches near the house we nice, but we mostly drove to other cities for fun (Belfast, Lincolnville, Rockland, and Acadia/Bar Harbor).

Thanks for the perfect stay we had at Seascape Cottage in Owls Head right by the sea. The bedroom looks like a honeymoon suite overlooking the ocean. We could hear the waves crashing on the rocks.
Every morning we started our day with coffee down on the beach, followed by breakfast at the Owl's Head Store, and then an easy walk to the lighthouse. Check opening hours if you want to go inside and view the lighthouse.
There are nice little towns with great restaurants nearby - Rockland, Rockport, and Camden - worth visiting during our stay in the cottage. We received good advice where to go for the best food, nice atmosphere, and must -sees for the area.
Thanks for the lovely stay we had, it's a very special place for us. We will be back to your cottage for our next visit to Maine.
