Guest Reviews

On the Water in Maine went above and beyond in accommodating our requests and made the entire rental process easy. Inquiries were promptly addressed, and everyone was helpful and friendly.

Spectacular views and luxury accommodations helped make a most memorable vacation. The living space makes one feel connected to the water and the beach. Beach access and proximity to the channel islands are perfect for building sandcastles on the beach or exploring nearby islands on kayak. Our little boys enjoyed daily hermit crab hunting, making s'mores by the beach fire, and painting outside. Everyone in our family enjoyed their stay!

We found this property by searching online. The information that they give is very clear and helpful. It was a pleasure speaking with On the Water in Maine over the phone and upon check in it was nice to know that I could call them to answer any questions I had about the surrounding area.

The property was exactly as described. It was a beautiful quiet spot right on the ocean. We went with another couple and it was perfect for us to each have some private space.

The Folks at "On The Water in Maine" address every concern or need you have immediately and in a friendly and efficient manner and you can always get a friendly voice on the phone to answer your questions,even weekends,which we really appreciate. We have been in 3 On the Water in Maine properties for 4 years running now and have not one complaint about Anything ! They are wonderful to deal with and we wouldnt go anywhere else or deal with anyone else for our summer vacations in Maine.

This is the fourth season weve stayed here.Love the location, walk to The Harbor. This year they added Air Cond. which you definitely need sometimes in summer now. View of the Harbor, Porch to enjoy Your Coffee on cool mornings. Immaculate and well appointed.

We'd like to thank Meg in particular for her great skills in handling the internet problems we had. She was both very quick and competent and all in a really friendly manner. Thanks for that. Otherwise, we found the arrival and departure procedures all very clear and had no problems whatsoever.

We stayed at the property for seven days and really wished we could have stayed for longer. It is hard to capture the beauty of the place with photos. When we first arrived there we were awestruck. We loved the open plan living area and its personal character. The deck was beautiful and the view overwhelming, sitting out there in the morning with a coffee is more than a perfect start to any day. The evenings were just as picturesque, watching the sailing boats catch the last rays of sun and listening to the sound of the trees blowing in the wind while grilling on the deck. The back garden is a paradise for kids to run around and play during the day without being too exposed to the sun. During high tide you can go for a refreshing dip/swim in the ocean directly from the property. Although the shoreline is stoney you can easily let yourself glide in. We highly recommend the property and would love to return in the nearer future.

Strong points: 1. Property is high quality, very peaceful, and location on the water is great. 2. Lots of space in the garden and direct access to the beach. 3. Beds are of excellent quality - which is important, and rare, in rental properties. 4. General fit-out is of high quality. High points: 1. Silverware and kitchen knives were of very poor quality, and out of keeping with the rest of the (high quality) property.

Everything was handled efficiently and professionally. One of the best rental experiences we have had.

This is a very charming house in a great location near Port Clyde. The view of the harbor from the porch in the evening is wonderful.

On the Water in Maine was excellent to deal with. They were efficient, organized and friendly. Communication during the entire rental, from first contact to check-out was fantastic!

The cottage was bright and airy with lots of ocean breezes. The wide front porch was wonderful! It had a gate and was a great place for our toddler grandchildren to play while we enjoyed watching the activity in the harbor. We appreciated that we could walk down the steps to the dock, especially when a couple of us rented a kayak for the day and tied it up there. Overall a wonderful place to stay.

Everything went without a hitch as always.

Captain's Cottage is a charming small cottage just up the hill from the main part of town. It perfectly suited our needs for the week.

Very good to work with.

Very nice home - rustic but well appointed and equipped.

Always professional. I left some of my clothes at an Inn on the way to Maine. They shipped them to On the Water in Maine and they brought the package to me when it arrived.

Our 3rd stay at Juniper Bank - We love the view!

Fantastic location. Quick drive to many beaches and villages.

Your agency was very helpful.

Drift Inn cottage is in a beautiful, secluded setting. I enjoyed drinking my morning cup of tea out on the Adirondack chairs. When we wanted to go into town, it was a short walk away but when we wanted to be alone, we were peacefully alone on the property.

On the Water in Maine, Inc. is a great agency to work with. They respond quickly to any questions and made the entire rental process easy. Many details were provided which eliminated the need for questions. The directions to the property were easy to follow. Also, I did call the agency on one occasion because the propane tank for the lobster pot was missing. Although we were instructed to take the tank off the grill to use, another tank was delivered to the cottage for the lobster pot that same day. This was appreciated.

The property exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was fully stocked, the bedrooms very comfortable and the living areas are spacious. The view was our favorite feature. We enjoyed the deck and the spacious lawn as well.

On the Water in Maine was great to work with. Their instructions for renting and staying in the cottage were very thorough and answered all of our questions before we even asked them. The owners are very responsive.

The cottage is a classic Maine camp with spectacular views of the Penobscot Bay. We really enjoyed coffee on the porch in the morning and dinner there in the evening.

Very well organized, excellent communication of information.

Very well appointed cottage with all the necessary comforts, great views of the water, sky, and greenery, complete privacy.

Very responsive; no complaints.

House had plenty of room for the family. Nice grounds and beautiful view. Grandchildren had fun catching fish on dock. Close to restaurants, shopping, entertainment, yet secluded and private. Bathrooms and kitchen could stand some upgrades.

All emails were very clear and explicit, and provided a wealth of information. Everyone I spoke with on the phone was curteous and helpful.

The house was very comfortable and clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The location was very convenient for walking into town or easily driving to nearby towns/attractions.

Very easy rental process. Everything exactly as represented

Beautiful location and home. Great place to relax , unwind and enjoy time together. Cove is great for kayaking.

On the Water in Maine was easy to work with and were responsive and reliable.

This was our second stay at this beautiful home on a great pond.

Seamless as always

Property was just as nice as it was last year. Having the swingset is such a huge bonus with kids! Also love how well equipped the place is.

We are repeat customers and have always been impressed with the friendliness and efficiency of the On the Water in Maine staff.

The Midocy cottage is very cozy and comfortable and situated on a wonderful lake to explore! We had a very relaxing week and did lots of exploring of local sights!

On-the-water appears to be well organized and customer service oriented. The employees were friendly and helpful. We would certainly use their services in the future.

A pleasant comfortable house in our favorite part of the lake. Really enjoyed the flat lawn leading to the lake. Morning coffee on the deck and evening cocktails on the lawn near the water were very enjoyable. Great location to swim, paddle board, or kayak. Would definitely rent this house again.

Very good...very responsive...Justin knows just how to do this...

Dock was great...nice job on newer steps....Grill was awesome (starter worked great..tank was full and could cook on low temp. Webber's are the best!). Washer and dryer were key to us (my wife will not rent without them). Good working kitchen too. Great for our kids allergies...no dog/cat hair. We will be back if weeks work out...Great stay and thank you...We are familiar with the lake as we have stayed on the lake before. Internet was also key with wireless access.

Your service was excellent. You really have experience and all questions were answered in the book.

Absolutely amazing. Cottage was perfect for 2 families where everyone could find his favorite spot. Relaxing. All amenities, comfortable beds. Lots of hicking and kayaking opportunities. Wonderful neighbours.
