Proximity to water. Great experience. House was as advertised, location was ideal.

delightful - lovely house, wonderful location, woodcut prints a special pleasure

Prompt and helpful in all communications. Thank you!

We had an amazing week at Nokomis cottage. The home is comfortable and well appointed, and absolutely beautiful. Our favorite part was the ocean view and feeling of complete relaxation.

No surprises

The beauty of Norton Pond

I found it very easy and hassle free working with On the Water in Maine. It was a completely hassle free vacation! We normally like to stay in hotels so I dont have to be too concerned about cleanups and cooking etc. My husband was not comfortable with a hotel stay given the state of the pandemic so I was able to convince him to take this vacation at the house. I loved having the option to BBQ at the house or go out to dinner in town. It was the best of both worlds! I loved the ability to have kayaks delivered and at our fingertips whenever we wanted to use them! It was overall just a great experience and such a welcomed experience after an incredibly difficult 16 months.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Rips View. I packed so many things trying to be Super Mom and cover anything we might need while at the house and when I got there the house was fully stocked with everything we could have ever needed. It was AMAZING! The property was perfect! The home had plenty of space to spread out. Loved the yard and the ability to cook lobsters and eat outside/ The access to the water was amazing. Protected space for novice layers not needing to be exposed directly to the open ocean and close to hiking on some of the conservation lands! The house also was just fully stocked with anything we could have needed for our stay!

I love OWM. They are always so willing to help!

The oceanfront access and view are incomparable. They simply can not be beat!

Excellent communication

Relaxing stay. Very much enjoyed the lake and kayaks as well as perusing the books.

Excellent, easy and great to work with.

The quiet peaceful area. Excellent neighbors with proximity to lots of fun activity.

Wonderful!

Very nice home. Comfortable. Morning noise from the shipyard where they were sandblasting the hull of a ship was louder than we expected for 3 out of the five days. Noise stopped by 2 pm. Gorgeous view from deck.

On the Water is THE most "together" agency we have ever encountered. Everything is thoughtfully planned and anticipated for a great rental experience. The personal contact and follow-up made our stay even better.

It was only a few steps from the cottage to the fire pit and the high tide coming up to the firepit meant we had to do very little to get the most enjoyment from this very pleasant and private cottage. Fires on the beach at sunset were our favorite part of the day!

It was exceptional.

Our stay was terrific. We liked the property very much in every way.

On The Water staff are efficient and thorough. Whenever we have had an issue in an OTW property (which has been rare), it has been resolved satisfactorily.

This was our third stay at Piper Cove and we always find it perfectly suitable for just the two of us. All amenities are provided and the cleaners do a decent job of preparing the property for our visit. The favorite thing about this property is its location -- proximity to the water and an outstanding view.

I always got a response to my emails, however getting a live person on the phone proved to be more difficult. As someone who prefers email, I was okay with that, but in a couple of boilerplate emails/ correspondence, it stated I needed to speak to someone personally, so there was a little frustration as I was concerned there would be complications with the rental, not being able to get someone on the phone. That being said, the communication I had via email was enough. It was also very pleasant. The representatives are helpful, kind and friendly.

This was one of our top vacations. Very relaxing! The deck view was by far our favorite feature! I dont think Ive ever taken so many pictures on a vacation. Ive had people tell me that some of the pictures look like they are from a magazine. That is how picturesque the view from the deck and surrounding areas are. This is also the first time that we agreed that a second stay at a rental will be needed!

All encounters were great! We didn't need anything while we were in the rental, but all phone conversations up to that point were professional and prompt.

This home was FANTASTIC! Location, location, location. Windows. Windows. Windows. View. View. View. Enough said.

Great!

Loved the property! Peaceful setting! Great place to walk. Bayside is a beautiful village!

Always very kind and professional.

The home was very spacious and within a nice , easy walk to town.

My husband and I had a very positive experience with the OTW team. We appreciated the detailed information and professionalism. We are particularly thankful for the call we got from Jack and how he handled mailing us some important items that we left at the house. Outstanding! Excellent cleaning service. Please thank them again.

Location. Exceptional views. There was not one chair in the house that was not comfortable. The house was spotless! My husband and I have rented several vacation homes over the past 20 years. Flora's Retreat is our favorite rental. We are planning to return.

All of the communications from the On the Water in Maine team were detailed and very clear. We had never worked with a vacation rental company before and were very impressed with the care taken to make sure that all of the information was complete.

We loved every minute of our stay at Bar Island Cottage. We had rain during parts of the first couple of days, but were very content to stay in with the wonderful fireplace, watch movies and play games together. As soon as we arrived, we felt at home. Everything that we could have needed to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable was provided. On the Friday before we left, we again chose to stay at "home" and enjoy sitting on the deck. We were rewarded with an osprey show! First there was one fishing in the morning, then in the afternoon, there were five, possibly parents and young. We had never withnessed ospreys fishing before and it was awesome! A seal friend also popped its head up to say "Hi." The sunsets and stars were magnificent! We would highly recommend this property to anyone interested and are hoping to visit again. Thank you for allowing us to have this amazing experience in Maine!

They were professional and friendly. It was a pleasure to work with them

The house was wonderful! It was extremely clean and had many small touches that it warm and comfortable. Awesome place to relax.
