Always very efficient and professional, this was our ninth year renting thru On The Water In Maine.

Great interior, all on one floor, great location, lots of grass, great view including lobster boat traffic.

I believe this is the third time we have rented with On the Water in Maine. They are well organized,friendly agency to work with. We look forward to renting from them in the near future.

Rackliff Island was beautiful and quiet with a great view of the cove and ocean. The house was easy to find and had everything needed. The view of the ocean from the second floor was awesome. You could watch the lobstermen retrieve there lobsters and watch the fog roll in from the ocean. We even saw turkeys and deer on Norton Island.

As always, it is very easy to work with On The Water in Maine! They are professional, thorough and very accommodating. The ladies (Jillian and Sara) who cleaned the house did an outstanding job. We so appreciated their extra effort.

Our stay was wonderful - couldnt ask for a better vacation! The property is beautiful and the house has everything you could possibly need or want! The appliances were updated and everything worked smoothly. There were plenty of linens. The dishes, pots and pans and cooking utensils were more than adequate. Updated and well maintained rental. The views from the many windows were absolutely breath taking! We enjoyed watching the eagles and the seals. It was a fun walk to get to the island!

Very easy & direct to deal with. No surprises & the reservation process & billing is just as advertised.

The new porch & deck above it are great additions to the cottages. We had meals out on the porch, soaked up the early September sun on the deck & enjoyed the new vantage point of the cove. Love it!

Absolutely outstanding experience with On the Water in Maine.

Sunset Cottage was a tranquil, comfortable, stunningly beautiful slice of heaven. We can't recall a more relaxing vacation.

Our experience was excellent with On the Water in Maine.

We stay at the Jones Cottage and love it for the beautiful views, location and charm.

On The Water in Maine is a delight to work with. Especially as a repeat renter. They make the rental process quick and easy. And all bases are covered.

A location unlike any other. Great house on 17 acres surrounded by water. No other house in sight. Complete quiet and privacy. Spectacular.

This agency was great to work with and highly recommend them! I've never rented a house before and they made it so easy for me. They're very responsive, and always there to answer a questions.

This is such an adorable house. It was so cozy and we felt right home from the start. The wrap around deck was everything! We loved having coffee outside with such a beautiful view. This was such a peaceful, relaxing vacation and we can't wait to go back!

On the Water is a first rate operation - very customer oriented and responsive to any questions.

A lovely,peaceful cottage with a gorgeous view of Penobscot Bay from the large deck. Very comfortable house with lots of amenities. I especially liked taking walks along the Shore Road which winds around the bay.

I found working with On the Water in Maine to be an easy and pleasant experience. The staff was professional, courteous, and thorough in corresponding with me all the way through. I appreciated this very much for a first time doing so.

With 10 years between our oldest and youngest sons, we have waited a long time to embark on a family vacation, with all the college time for the three of them since our last in 2003. With them now grown, Great Pines offered the perfect location to gather our families and enjoy the time together and the beauty of Maine. This property put us in a central location of all that we wanted to do along the coast, and was quite comfortable. I had waited for this vacation for a long time, and it didn't disappoint ... roomy, clean, well appointed, perfect location, and great views! Will definitely try to go back!

All of the questions we asked beforehand were accurately answered.

The Cottage was perfect! It was clean and well maintained. Everything we needed was there as promised and more!

On the water in Maine is a smooth operating machine, we are always kept well informed and treated well.

Unsurpassed views from this property with a central location between bar harbor and roockland are.

Like clockwork as usual. Thanks for making it painless and easy.

I think this was our 10th year at Compass Rose Cottage. We love the place and look forward to it every year. It is comfy and has all the comforts of home, plus the ocean/Penobscot Bay being a few steps from the front screened porch.

The agency is very easy to work with. They are very attentive and quick to respond to questions.

The house as beautiful as it looks in the pictures. The panoramic views are amazing. It is a very peaceful and relaxing property.

It is a pleasure to work with On the Water. They respond quickly to questions and were able to assist us when there was a scheduling problem with one of the houses we were renting several years ago. I find it very helpful to have someone on-the-ground who can immediately handle any issues that might arise.

We really enjoy staying at the Grove Street house - this is our second year and it was just as fun as last year. The house works well for groups and there is always enough seating for everyone. We got to use the front porch and the side deck this year (rained last year) and they are both great spaces to hang out. Its an easy location to either walk to town or to Megunticook Market which is just around the corner.

We've rented from On The Water In Maine at least 6 times (maybe more) and all three properties have been great. The rental experience and ease of process is why we continue to use On The Water in Maine as our resource for our vacations.

We love this house and have rented it 3 times. It is a wonderful location and a comfortable house.

OTWIM is a super agency. They reply promptly to questions and are very customer service oriented.

We've been coming to "A Stones Throw" for years, almost 10 now I think and we love it more and more and look forward to coming every year. The big deck overlooking the ocean, the private property and proximity to Rockland all make for a great combination.

Dealing with OTW is so smooth and professional, everything is detailed and there are no surprises. I find the staff to be very efficient and professional.

This is such a beautifully designed and comfortable rental property! Step outside onto deck and you're practically on the water! Listening to the loons and gazing at the lake is magical and so tranquil! A week spent here is rejuvenation of the soul!

The staff of On the Water is superb. Thoughtful, thorough, personal service every step of the way. We would never work with another company, because the OTW team always look out for the guests.

This is a terrific propertya true home. Spacious rooms, amazing kitchen, spectacular views. Beautifully cared for and stocked with everything you need and more. Also, a great location in terms of access to everything in the area.

Assistance available upon request. Ability to provide professional to fix our problem. Friendly people willing to help and knowledgeable at their job. Ability to provide quick turn-around time for our visit.

Spacious open floor plan. Many items were local and provided a unique experience. Plenty of everyday items were available for use. Light, bright and clean. Beds were comfortable. The porch was a terrific feature with the comfortable seating. Easy parking. Ability to walk to town. Assistance available upon request. A terrific renovation throughout the home allowed for comfortable stay.

Very friendly & professional - couldn't be better!
