Ben at On the Water in Maine was awesome!

The back porch (which is really FRONT in my heart) was my favorite feature. The view of the water and boats, the soft lapping of the water simply captured my heart. Many a 'cup of coffee' were savored there last week. I have stayed in many cottages, but this was by far my favorite! Technically, the only thing I would add would possibly be a small toilet downstairs. Also I would remove half of the wall in the kitchen (where the stove is) and open up that area to the room by the front door. Then a simple eating bar could be erected, making use of the little used front room. FABULOUS place truly! I hope we can stay there again! :)

On the Water in Maine staff were fast, helpful, efficient, and non-defensive (most important). They seemed to be well-trained and focused on us our enjoying the vacation.

We loved the direct view of the ocean, lobster boats on the little harbor, the sun, sky, clouds. The sunrise over the ocean at 5 AM. The fog obscuring the ocean one morning. The closeness to Rockland. And the house itself was modern, clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Maine needs no reason to visit! It is just heaven. I only wish I lived closer!

Thank you for sharing your amazing property with us. We could not have asked for a better place to get some much-needed relaxation! Everything was amazing - the view, the privacy, the porch was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the ocean breezes.

Wonderful location! Great view and convenient to lots of local points of interests and activities. Lincoln Lookout has a comfortable feel to it and we appreciated the good beds. We love the beautiful view of Vinalhaven island. It's a fabulous spot to watch the sunrise and the moonrise.

Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. Our young children loved the cozy walk in closets on the second floor. They took full advantage to create little play cottages of their own over the course of our stay.

This is our second year staying at Canns Beach Cottage, and during both visits, we had a great time. Your home and the view are absolutely beautiful. The updates you made in the last year (more furniture and work in the attic) were wonderful. We can't imagine staying anywhere else in Maine! We loved the great kitchen, ample seating in the living areas, the adirondack chairs in the backyard, good sized bedrooms

Every member at On the Water in Maine that we corresponded with was courteous and knowledgeable. A pleasure! Thanks especially to Emily :)

What a great spot! Truly a gem. We had a great time at Pine Cliff Cottage Compound - Fantastic view. House was really comfortable - from the kitchen to living room to bedrooms. Thank you so much.

Ben, with On the Water in Maine, was great as always. Lakewood Cottage is simple but quite agreeable. The site is unbelievable. The TV was a bit small.

We found it easy and convenient and Justin at On the Water in Maine was very helpful and friendly.

The house and everything in it was perfect! The deck overlooking the cove, the sunsets were spectacular. Thank you!

Ben was very helpful and responded promptly to our after hours request when we first arrived to separate the king bed into twins. We loved the beautiful harbor view, close proximity to town and restaurants (5-minute walk), bright and the spacious updated interior.

The house is gorgeous. The paddle boat and the swings were a huge hit with the kids.

This was the third time we rented a house through "On the Water in Maine" and we know the drill by now and are comfortable with it. Everything is efficiently organized and the entire renting and the arrival and departure process is hassle free. We would definitely not have repeated renting from OTWIM if it were different. We had three wonderful family vacations. As far as Bayberry Cottage - The house is exceptionally well maintained. Its kitchen and two bathrooms have obviously recently been renovated.

Thank you Justin and Ben for another great vacation experience! This is our second year at Little Pines cottage. Our favorite feature of the property is definitely the location. The cottage sits right on the water on a cove , just perfect for kayaking. The view of the mountains from the front porch is beautiful.

We really enjoyed the stay at Shimmering Tides! Excellent location, very peaceful. We loved the location overlooking the river - it was beautiful, peaceful. Nice big rooms in house and nice big kitchen for cooking.

Justin thank you! We loved this spacious, but cozy house near the beach. Quiet at night! Beautiful!

Hi there - we would be happy to return to your property if you continue to rent it - we had a great time!

The overall experience was excellent. Ben at On the Water in Maine was great to work with. We will definitely be looking to rent from On the Water in Maine again. The most obvious favorite feature of the property for us was the access to the beautiful lake! We really enjoyed the dock and especially the swim dock. We really liked the outdoor seating options on the wrap around deck. The home was beautiful and in excellent shape. The bathrooms were modern and clean. The property provided all the comforts required for a relaxing stay on a beautiful lake!

Thank you Zukermans for the use of your beautiful home on the lake. You a very fortunate to have such a lovely property. We hope to rent from you again next year! Being from the North Shore of MA, we liked your choice of Yankees vs Red Socks on the walls of the kids bedroom upstairs!

Thanks for sharing the lovely and charming Rackliff Bay Farmhouse with us . My three daughters favored activity was laying on foot of you driveway and gaze the stars at night. Who new there were so many of them. :) thanks from New Jersey. Virgo.

White Pines is a beautiful property which we truly enjoyed. We loved the lake access and how close we were to the things we wanted to do. We did think that the downstairs rooms could use more light. The home was comfortable; we enjoyed being both inside and outside of it. Thanks!
