Very easy to work with; responsive by phone and email.

The property was terrific! Beautiful, clean, and spectacular views on the water.

Scheduling was flawless with the best communcation I have experienced in renting a vacation property.

The house was very clean, well stocked and in excellent condition.

Great

Great stay on same place for 5 yr. good service from on the water

Great website! Easy instructions to secure a rental. Very professional and responsive staff.

Loved the location! Rental was comfortable and clean.

You guys were great, thanks.

As stated above it was a pleasure working with the employees of On the Water, there were not surprises and an awesome experience!

My family loved the Beachcomber! It has been well maintained, well decorated, beautiful view and in an awesome area. The locals are friendly, educational as to their trades and history. We loved Brunswick and would recommend Beachcomber and On The Water Maine to friends. Thanks for the great experience!!

Very easy to work with and On the Water in Maine does all of the work, amazing job for the second year in a row that we have used them to secure a property.

The house and view can't be beat. Clean, neat, no clutter.

On the Water in Maine saved our vacation this year! We were very fortunate as we had a last minute issue managed by another rental agency. Your team was amazing and helped us quickly find an alternative that worked for us, especially as we travel with two dogs. Thank you so much!

We were very pleased with 5 High Street. The house and property are beautiful and well maintained. The layout to the house, including the deck, is simply wonderful. Great flow and very nicely decorated.

On the Water is a terrific agency. Booking the house on Southport Island, arriving and departing, were all part of a smooth process that made for a great family vacation. I would book through them again in a heartbeat.

Griffin Cottage was a beautiful spot on the ocean. We loved spending time on the deck and being so close to Boothbay Harbor. The house was charming and comfortable with good-sized bedrooms and amazing views of the water.

Well I didnt really need to interact with the rental agency all that much. As soon as we decided on a property and the week we were going to rent, everything was on autopilot and that I appreciated the most. I think that the first time we rented I left my wetsuits in a bag that was easily returned to me and that was the only problem and it was one that I created.

Bay Breeze had plenty of room for us all to be out of each others way but also enough room for us all to come together. Those are the features that we look for in a rental property. This rental also had the added ability to deliver an area where we all could participate in food preparation for meals and to eat together which for our family is important. Lincolnville has become a unique area over the past few years but also it is in perfect position between Rockland and Belfast, which has seen its own resurgence. Open water swimming is important to myself and the coastline here is perfect with no obstacles and between tides this property had a place to hang out and to be on the water. The country roads off of Route 1 provided for excellent 30 to 40 mile early morning bike rides and there were plenty of fresh water swimming opportunities also at Norton pond and Megunticook lake. As an added bonus there are some nice short hikes nearby in Camden.

On the water in Maine was very easy to work with and we had no trouble gaining entry or checking in and out.

The Loons Nest was a beautiful vacation home in the scenic town of Searsmont. Our view of the lake was breathtaking! We kayaked to the island in the lake one day and swam while we were over there.(something we would not do in Florida) The water is refreshing and clear and we were able to see the mountains. We both agreed that being in the home and the lake was like stepping into a beautiful portrait. Though there was no a/c in the home, with the powerful ceiling fans and portable fans we were never in need of it. It was so peaceful there and we slept in every morning. The home is centrally located, so going places was not a long trip. Truly cannot say anything bad about this property!

We always find the agency to be very responsive and helpful.

The house is comfortable and well-stocked, and the location is stunning.

I have found On the Water in Maine to be very responsive the very few times we had minor issues. I think they run a tight ship, with the result that problems are few and far between.

This is my 4th visit to the Jones cottage and it is always a delight , particularly since I grew up there. It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable, although I think the bed in the small pink room could use a foam topper or something similar - that bed is extremely hard. As a cook I especially appreciate how well the house is supplied with all manner of implements and pots and pans.

Responsive to our requests

Beautiful site at the mouth of the Camden Maine harbor.

Very responsive and easy to work with.

We stayed at Captains Catch because it's close to all the great things Boothbay Harbor offers. Love the master bedroom so airy.

Over the past 30 years we have rented from a number of other agencies in Maine and things have not always gone smoothly, this was not the case with On the Water in Maine. The staff was very professional, the website was easy to use, their instructions were clear and correspondence was punctual.

The property was in great condition, the hiking trails were an added bonus. We brought with us a 17' center console boat and made full use of the dock. Friendship is a quiet little town, sufficiently removed from Route 1 and the tourist path. Wallace's General Store and Jameson Point Lobster were close buy and provided everything we needed. The basement rec room served us well on rain days, though we discovered that none us will ever make a living playing pool.

We have been working with On the Water in Maine for many years. We are always completely pleased with their service. In our view, a superior company!

This house has many features that make it a pleasant rental. It sits on a large and beautiful piece of property with some nice landscaping. The main living area, kitchen, master bedroom, and huge main bath all have views of the river. There is also a deck with flowerpots and furniture to enjoy the passing of an occasional boat and the birds. It is a peaceful place to relax. The house is stocked with adequate cookware and ample linens. The availability of a half bath on the main floor is a nice feature. There are many books and other items that make this rental feel like home. The additional sitting rooms are nice places to spend time as well. There are comfortable beds in spacious bedrooms. The town of Damariscotta, which has some nice shops, a supermarket, several restaurants, and an amazing ice cream store is only a short drive away. My only caution would be that anyone with mobility issues should be aware that the walk back to the house from the dock could be difficult, as the house sits up on a fairly steep hill.

On the Water in Maine is easily the best agency we have worked with on the East Coast. All my interactions with the staff have been very pleasant & professional. They really go the extra mile. The property description was very accurate, we received very helpful, detailed driving instructions and it was very easy getting into the property and not having to worry about losing keys. It was nice to be able to use my credit card for the reservations (a real plus for those with travel rewards cards). I also got great suggestions for hiking and restaurants. Whenever I had a question, they did a great job of answering it. This is truly a 5-star agency!

Blue Heron Cottage is a wonderful, tastefully decorated property with a spectacular water view. We especially loved the open floor plan, the wraparound deck and the floor to ceiling windows. It felt like we were in our own private paradise and yet we were just a 15-minute drive to downtown Rockland. We enjoyed watching both sunsets & sunrises from the deck as well as star-gazing on clear nights and, of course, watching the lobster boats come in & out. A great blue heron often "greeted" us from the woods bordering the drive and a very friendly squirrel that we had been feeding throughout the week brought us a large mushroom on our last day as a parting gift! We will have many special memories of this magical place and hope to return soon.

On the Water in Maine is a high-end vacation service we've enjoyed using for many years and we will keep coming back.

We love the open downstairs of the house and how you can see the bay from every window on the back side of the house. There are many spacious bedrooms and bathrooms and it's luxurious living there!

On the Water in Maine offers many great properties and make the booking process very easy. We have used them several times and have never been disappointed.

The Beachcomber is a delightful house located right on the water. It is perfect for families that like to kayak. The home is spacious and has three floors that allow for group time as well as privacy for down time. The kitchen is very well equipped and great for vacationers that like to cook. The large deck and screened in porch provide great outdoor living space and offer beautiful views overlooking the water. The Beachcomber is truly a gem.

Working with the agency was very easy. Everything is spelled out and they have always been very resonsive when called.

Our third time staying at Crocketts Beach. Our favorite feature is definitely the location..just steps to the sandy beach where we can find sea treasures and walk to the small island at low tide. The house itself is well stocked and has everything we needed for our stay.

Pleasant, responsive team. Able to use internet to arrange for rental.

We always enjoy the proximity to Camden-walking distance. Cottage meets all our needs. We do not need more than row bedrooms which makes Captains Cottage perfect for us.

The agency was a pleasure to work with. All instructions and other info was clear, concise, and everything was as advertised!

We loved the house, and the property. It was the perfect getaway for an extended family. The house is beautiful -- clean, modern, and tasteful decor -- with all the bells and whistles you would ever need. We had everything we need right at our fingertips -- the kids enjoyed playing in the spacious yard, diving off the dock, and lounging in the many nooks and crannies throughout the house and property. We hope to return!
