Guest Reviews

Emily greeted us as we arrived at the cottage - a lovely surprise and made for an easy check in and orientation to the cottage. She is "a natural" for her job and a positive representative for the company. The Griffin Cottage focal point for us was the expansive deck with very comfortable furniture; comfortable living room and fairly well equipped kitchen.

I can't say enough about how Justin, Emily and the entire staff at OTWIM are customer orientated to the max. Whether having an issue with the property or just asking a question, everyone seems to have the customer's interests at heart. This is what keeps us coming back. This was an annual visit up to Maine for us. We enjoy the state and the mid-coast area immensely and always look forward to coming. We took a sailing excursion on the Appledore along with a terrific cruise to view Puffins from Port Clyde. I highly recommend the cruise with "Puffin Pete". We did the Farnsworth on a rainy day and enjoyed the exhibits very much. We have a new appreciation of Wyeth's watercolors. Finally took in Montpelier over in Thomaston along with several flea markets and antique stops. The Celtic Festival in Belfast, Beth's Farm Market, The North Atlantic Blues Festival....I could go on and on. It was a wonderful three weeks!!!

You have such a wonderful property in Owl's Head and we feel grateful for being able to experience staying there for a few weeks. I can't tell you how comfortable we are when we're there. It's truly a very special place! We so look forward to coming back again next year. The property has become a favorite of ours due to its location, privacy and amenities. Plenty of space to wander the grounds, the ocean at your doorstep with a swimmable beach and a deck with views that can't be beat. It's a great house or is it houses? We love the fact that with a foursome each couple has virtually their own space in each side of the cottage.

Your agency is the best I've ever dealt with in years and years of renting properties, both in Maine and in other locations along the eastern seaboard. Your emails were very informative and helpful. I appreciate the effort you put into keeping in touch with your clients. The location of this house is superb, probably the best we've had in all the years of renting summer cottages in Maine. We loved the cool, grassy yard leading down to the water, and the pebbly beach, which was wonderful no matter what the tide level. The house itself was comfortable and roomy, with plenty of seating for the family and a well-stocked kitchen.

Ben at On the Water in Maine was great! kitchen was well-stocked each bedroom has its own bathroom quiet location spacious living area

We enjoyed our stay at your guest home. Our stay was quiet and relaxing. Thank-you for opening your property to renters.

On the Water in Maine was able to address all our concerns in a timley manner. This property is all about Location, Location, Location!

Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your charming home. Such a charming house. Loved the "New England cottage" feel of Cape McKay! Beautiful view of the harbor from nearly every window in the house. The house met every expectation we had of a wonderful vacation away from home.The decorations were beautiful! We enjoyed looking at the historical pictures of Cape McKay & would love to hear more about the history of this house. Cape McKay gave us exactly what every vacation in New England should be--a truly memorable family vacation! Blessings to you! - The Carroll Family--Evington, Virginia

Everyone responded and was very pleasant when we spoke or emailed about anything. The property is beautiful, the sunsets are manficant, and the fishing is the best.

You have a beautiful property and we enjoyed it again for our second year. I am a painter and my husband loves to fish. We both enjoyed our hobbies while we stayed at loon landing. I left a special entry in your guest book for you. My husband caught (and released) around 30-40 fish a day!

We have rented in Maine fours times prior to renting your place. We have finally found the place we would love to rent again. Hopefully we will have a chance. Our favorite features were the porch with the view of the shared dock and harbor. The nice, friendly neighborhood, the immaculately clean interior space, the huge deck and the well equipped kitchen. The owners obviously love and care for their vacation home.Thanks for making you house available to us. Sincerely , Tami Motte

A lovely home with cottages, thank you for sharing. This was truely the most peaceful spot I have ever been. There was very little boat traffic and we enjoyed hours of kayaking and exploring. Loons and bald eagles abound! The house was very comfortable and clean. I'm very impressed with the way "On The Water in Maine" handles their guests. We had the perfect vacation and Pitcher Pond has now become our new favorite vacation spot.

Everyone from the initial rental to leaving was extremely helpful and kind, no issues, very easy process. Our favorite features of the cottage was that it was clean, had great utensils and kitchen gear, and the deck and view were fabulous.

Hemlock Point - You have a beautiful property and we loved the pine work, it was very well planned and thought out, one thing...I wish the smaller cottage had permanent screens.

We loved our recent stay at your vacation home (34 Ginn Point) and we hope to return next summer. We greatly appreciated the high quality linens (sheets and towels) and the provision of paper products (tp, paper towels) and other small items (sponges, dish soap, night lights, hair dryer). The screened in porch absolutely made the house for us! Also, ample seats allowed us to have a few other family members over for dinner which was nice.

Loved this cabin...clean, well equipped

Loved this cabin. Very nice

At the Blue Glass Cottage, our family enjoyed the washer/dryer on the second floor, the updated kitchen with dishwasher, the back porch, and the great yard for the kids to play in.

This is our third year at this property and each year has been so enjoyable. We love the house, the property - the view is fantastic and the small beach is terrific. - Betty and Michael Shiels

The On the Water in Maine staff was very accommodating and friendly. We actually woke one of them up at 6:30 on a Sunday morning and he came right over to solve our problem and was great. Our favorite features were that it was a very bright and sunny house. Extremely comfortable and updated and the kitchen was well stocked. House was within walking distance of the harbor and the town.

We loved the Chestnut Retreat. It was extremely comfortable and well equipped, especially the kitchen. We loved the way the house was decorated and felt very much at home. Lovely property.

As stated, Ben with On the Water in Maine was extremely responsive and helpful, and very, very nice! This rustic cottage is perched right on the lake, in a gorgeous setting, with beautiful views of the sunrise, and is conveniently located near both Belfast and Camden. We rented a small motorboat the first week and a canoe the second week and enjoyed canoeing in particular. My husband swam quite a bit. We had dinner and lunch in Belfast, and took a day trip to Acadia National Park, and drove to Camden one morning. It was hard to leave the cottage it was so beautiful! And I spent a lot of time bird watching and listening to the loons.

We LOVED Lakewood Cottage, and the setting is magnificent. We've spent a lot of time in Ireland, and also in the Lake District in England, and it reminded us so much of both - but in many respects it was better. It was one of the best vacations we've had in 20 years of marriage, and we hardly left the property. You have a really special place, and we hope to return next summer.

All were friendly and helpful . Perfect house for a large family. Great location, with plenty of room and a wonderful yard. It has everything you need for a great vacation on the water. Be sure to rent some kayaks to increase the experience and utilize Drift-In Beach......just a short walk away. Our best Maine vacation yet! ooops...forgot to tip the cleaners...will take care of later.

Loved your place...the renovation was great.

We used your team for check in and check out only and they were pleasant and helpful.

We stayed for 3 weeks this year and are considering staying for a month-is there a monthly rate available?
