We stayed next this house last year. Vacationland was larger and fit our family needs a little better. bedding and cleanliness fine. Easy lake access for swimming and kayaking. Easy access to Camden, Rockport, Rockland and up and down the coast as well as several access points to interior lakes.

The whole process with On the Water in Maine from start to finish could not have been easier, lots of communication along the way, keeping us informed of everything from driving directions, check in, and property details.

Wonderful week at coast cottage, the views are amazing, and the property well cared for, it is impossible not to relax and de-stress here, sitting on the deck, or napping in the hammock, the only sounds you will here are the birds and the water lapping at the shore, and if you want to be more active, great hiking, kayaking, shopping and restaurants are all a short car ride away, a really enjoyable stay.

I like that we can go through the whole rental process without having to wait for contracts by mail and call back and forth on the phone. Overall it is a very easy process for making reservations.

We had a great time as always :-) The Sun room addition has definitely been an improvement. Now that there were screens we were able to keep the windows open even at night and let the breeze come through. The path that is usually mowed going down to the water and around the property was not mowed out this year (that was a little of a disappointment) but we still walked down to the water anyway.

The agency was very efficient and all went smoothly . When we expressed concern about some disturbance from the building work which started on the Monday of our stay after a peaceful weekend, the agency did their best to investigate (the building work had apparently unexpectedly over-run due to the late spring). We were offered an alternative very nice property for the last couple of days of our stay but did not take up the offer due to the little time left and the fact that the noise from the building work had reduced to a more tolerable level as the week went on.

The house exceeded our expectations with wonderful views including bald eagles and ospreys fishing. This was the best equipped house we've ever stayed in with an amazing range of books and board games, as well as everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. A very comfortable house in a beautiful setting.

It was a great pleasure to rent from On the Water in Maine, Inc. We hope to vacation in Maine again in a couple of years, and will definitely look for properties through them first.

Such a lovely place. Far enough out of town to ensure peace and privacy, yet just a short drive to Owl's Head and Rockland. Great views of Penobscot Bay as well. And the house had everything you'd need, such as a well-stocked kitchen. A great place to enjoy a family reunion. (I was tempted to give this property a so-so review in order to keep this gem my own secret, but instead I'll be honest and say it was terrific.)

OTWIM were very efficient and did exactly what was promised. I liked the binder at the house with instructions, and the page listing the check out responsibilities was very helpful.

This is a really beautiful spot! Waking up to the panoramic view of the water and private island was one of the best parts of the day. We loved meandering out to the island at low tide, exploring the tide pools and ending up back at the house to settle into the adirondack chairs.
Loved all the children's books and games, but a few adult games and puzzles would have been nice to have, too.

We had an excellent experience working with your agency. We found it on the web, and after we had made our reservations, we received timely information about the contract, setting, directions, and so on. The check-in went smoothly, again with email reminders about code for lock, and how to check in. The written materials were clear and helpful. The second day we were there, one of the staff came to let us know that a truck would be coming for a brief cleaning of the sewer system. This was just a 20-minute "job" and we appreciated the advance notice. The day before we left, staff brought a boat for the next customer and placed it at the dock, with assurances from my husband that he didn't mind moving his canoe. He was very courteous and respectful of our final night, and only proceeded after we told him we didn't mind. Our check-out was smooth as well, so overall we have nothing but praise for On the Water in Maine and the professional way our rental was handled.

We loved our stay at Little Pine Cabin. Our favorite thing was being right on the water, just a few steps off our deck--so handy for canoeing, swimming, and fishing, plus the luxury of such beauty from early am until late evening. The call of the loons, croaking of bullfrogs, chirping of birds...the wildlife added a peaceful and soothing background for our stay. I especially loved the big picture window in master bedroom, so every am we woke up to the view of the lake. The cabin was clean and well equipped with cookware and dishes and odds and ends. The water was hot for showers and dishes. Everything was in good repair, except for one window off master bedroom, which was off it's hinge and had to be closed and opened manually. The "neighbors" renting cabins next door were respectful of our privacy and kept things quiet after dark/at bedtime, so we were able to sleep well also. Thank you!

Your agency was delightful to work with and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

Nice house with awesome views from the living room, master bedroom and screened porch. Lots of casement windows with good screens so we were able to get plenty of fresh air. The screened porch is a terrific place to sit having your morning coffee, an afternoon read or an evening cocktail. Was too bad that there's not a downstairs powder room or that the living room furniture was all oriented towards the fireplace rather than the spectacular water view. We enjoyed our stay but next year will be looking for a place more directly on the water with a dock for our kayaks and, hopefully, a bit less in the woods.

Being from Jersey we have rented down the shore for years. My husband and I both agree On the Water in Maine is tops on our list. Very personable staff. Still can't believe that Justin, the owner of On the Water in Maine, comes out to the property if there is an issue ... nice :)

Ahhhh ... Maine ... It keeps getting batter and better! We love Crockett's cottage. The beach and the view are spectacular. We were hoping that we would get another visit by the bald Eagle like we did in 2012 and we did!
We all spent dinner outside watching as he was scoping out his catch waterside for the night. All the while he was being chased by the Gulls what a site. Dinner and a show for free! Amazing.
