Guest Reviews

As usual, we had a great experience. We always got prompt and courteous email responses.

We love coming to Little Island View Cottage. We loved the new addition of the staircase down cliffs to the rocks. My 4 year old loved exploring the rocks while the baby napped inside-- kept us outdoors when we couldn't be down the road at Crockett's Beach.

Great all around, though still smarting from the 2020 cancelation fees. Most places waived fees. You did not.

We loved our multi-week stay at this beautiful property, which it's safe to say was the nicest, most well-equipped rental home we've stayed in. The Highlights include: 1) Spectacular location just outside the wonderful town of Belfast 2) Built in 2016 and impeccably maintained 3) Comfortable beds in every room 4) Huge deck with lovely views 5) Incredibly well-equipped kitchen. I'm a cook, and when renting a home I usually bring some of my own "essentials" because you don't know what you'll be working with. This kitchen had just about everything, including All-Clad pans, top-quality blender, mixer, food processor, cutting boards, even some decent knives. Everything but an instant-read thermometer. I would look forward to staying here again and would highly recommend this property, but anybody considering it should be aware of three things before booking: 1) With the exception of the two bedrooms and bath on the basement level, this home has no doors. If you have a group or family, and some people want to stay up chatting or watching TV while others retire to the master bedroom or loft bedroom, that could be a challenge, noise and light-wise. 2) Every room as windows that face east (which is wonderful), but there are no shades, and the curtains don't fully cover the windows. On clear summer mornings, the sun bursts into your room between 4:30-5:00am, and there's nothing you can do about that. The sunrises are beautiful, but you need to either be an early riser, or somebody who can sleep through that. 3) Eco Vista has great water views, but it's not on the water. It's across the street, and if you want to actually walk on a beach or dip a toe in, you have to walk up the street a bit. Again, these are things worth knowing to ensure you've selected the right rental for you.

The new kitchen is fantastic and having a washer and dryer was so great, thank you.

Flawless as usual

Location, location On the water at the end of a dead end private lane. Recent addition of master bathroom was a bonus.

No problems. Very cooperative in regards to COVID cancellation in 2020.

Wonderful stay and have enjoyed this property for several years. Favorite feature is proximity to the ocean.

Everything was done in a timely manner via email or phone calls. No complaints!

Our stay was very relaxing and everyone's favorite feature was the dock. We lived down there when we were at the house.

Very responsive and helpful.

The access to the water cannot be beat. This is just such a perfect little spot.

Very easy process

Love the close proximity to the playground and wharf

We had a wonderful time working with On the Water in Maine. The rental process was very smooth.

We enjoyed the waterfront location of the house, and the house was well-stocked.

professional and very friendly!!!

Absolutely fabulous house! The piano was unexpected and fun. Private dock on water, excellent kitchen and thoroughly enjoyed

We have rented with On the Water in Maine for several years and have been consistently very pleased with every aspect of our rental experience. They have truly done everything to try to make your vacation outstanding.

Great stay, as always! Favorite features of property - location, clean, enough space, starter supplies provided, washer/dryer

Outstanding. Great properties and customer service

Outstanding stay and beautiful property. Lovely location and well maintained

Amazing! They were so easy to communicate with and we had 0 issues.

We had a lovely stay, the house was as advertised and big and provided everything we needed. I wish we could swim directly from the home (we were spoiled with a lake last year) so that is now on our must haves. My favorite feature of the home was the downstairs rec area for the kids to enjoy (our week of weather was a bit rainy) and the bathroom in the master bedroom. And the lobster cooking stuff! And the view!

Always great!

Loon landing is a favorite spot, quiet lake, beautiful home and area

good

nice property

We have always had lovely experiences with our rentals through On the Water in Maine. It is a bit inconvenient that, in recent years, the check in time is later and the check out earlier. This reduces our actual stay to something closer to six days, rather than seven. I hope that we can return to the checkin/checkout of past years and get a bit more enjoyment from the properties.

We love the privacy and quiet of this location.

Clear, concise instructions.

Good location

It was a pleasure working with the team from On the Water in Maine. They were very professional and good communicators!

We had a lovely relaxing stay. The house is beautifully situated with a lovely view of Lermond Pond. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking meals for a family of 4 adults and 2 children. The only thing I couldnt find was a garlic press!

Wonderful

We were very happy and loved the waterfront

Wonderful team made for a seamless arrival and departure. Everyone is hyper responsive and helpful.

Wouldnt change anything. The cottage has a wonderful rustic feel, but is comfortable at the same time. Favorite feature would it have to be the fireplace. We had a couple damp, chilly nights. The fireplace added to the ambiance and took the edge off the cold. Ample chopped wood on the property was a great feature as well.
