Guest Reviews

The process of renting, checking in and checking out was easy and quick. The one small issue we had during our stay with a mechanical problem in the house was addressed quickly and completely with no inconvenience to us. We wholeheartedly recommend On the Water in Maine.

We loved our stay at Belfast Cottage. It is so comfortable, well-equipped and beautifully decorated. Our favorite part was the open concept kitchen/dining/living area. We hung out there every day and really loved it.

Everything was simple and had no problems with the booking or check in. No problems with the house

We really enjoyed our stay in the Harmony Cottage. Loved using the porch with the great views of the bay. The house is very well stocked to make everything easy - especially liked they had everything for cooking. Access to a nice cove is just steps away.

The location is retreat like, peaceful, quiet, relaxing. Swimming was one of our favorite activities. We like going to Lincolnville to have lobster.

Very professional company that takes pride in their work, business and the properties they manage. They genuinely want their guests to have a wonderful experience.

We loved Crows Nest. The house is nicely updated and feels very clean and fresh. The view of the bay is unbeatable. We enjoyed getting out on the water in our raft and swimming off the pier. We also enjoyed climbing on rocks and hunting for sea glass during low tide.

Easy to work with, very responsive and welcoming.

We like the privacy, close proximity to the lake, and private dock. We rented stand up paddle boards and used them every day. The house had plenty of space for our family of four.

Working with your agency was very easy.

The house was very nice. It was clean and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes and items needed to prepare meals. The location was beautiful. We enjoyed going down to the boat dock and watching the lobstermen check traps from the deck.

On the Water in Maine, Inc. is a very professional company and a pleasure to work with. Every detail was worked out in advance, we highly recommend anyone looking for a vacation home in Maine to contact them. From start to finish planning our vacation was easy.

The house was super cute and very comfortable. We loved the location and the private beach. My family and I enjoyed every moment at the house.

As always, On the Water in Maine correspondence was informative, thorough, timely, friendly and professional.

We have stayed in 5 different homes on Megunticook Lake over the last 20 years and this one was by far the nicest. The location was beautiful, perfect front yard leading down to the lake. The home was well stocked with all the items needed for our family. We will absolutely stay here again.

Easy to contact. Efficient and effective communication

The location and serenity were perfect. The home was cozy but large enough to accomodate all of us to find a special space.

Alll good

Very nice - greatly enhanced our Maine experience

Was good overall. Communication prior to checking in was great.

This is a very nice property in a great location within Belfast. Easy walking to downtown or a park and oceanfront. Amenities and space is good.

Simple and straight forward to work with. No surprises & pleasant on the phone.

The cottage is beautiful- bright & cheerful and lives up to the photos on the website. We loved the screened porch - perfect for a morning coffee or a glass of wine at the end it the day.

My experience with On the Water in Maine Inc. was great! I had spent excessive amount of time looking on my own for rental properties when I finally stumbled upon this agency. They found me this spot very quickly along with multiple other rentals that were high contenders.

Our stay was fantastic! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking to stay in the Boothbay Harbor region. The house alone was beautifully decorated, but I think the biggest highlight for my family was the view from the kitchen, back porch and master bedroom of the harbor. Our family took to hanging out on the back porch or down on the dock because the views (even with some fog) are breathtaking. The barn across the road was also a huge hit! Not only was it much bigger than we thought, but it too was beautifully decorated. The road between the two places was perfectly safe for my nieces and nephews to run across to get back and forth from each place with ease. The only drawback about the barn was the lack of AC and since it sits back off the water, the breeze is not very strong. I would suggest the next guests to bring additional fans to use along with the ones provided in the barn.

On the Water in Maine was very responsive to all of our needs and concerns, and the staff was very pleasant and professional to deal with as well.

My family and I had a fabulous time at the Maitri House. The house is beautiful and well-appointed, and so are the grounds. The kitchen has everything you could possibly want and need, and the ping pong table was a huge hit with our family. Perhaps the best feature of all was the large and very comfortable dock. Count us in at Maitri House next year!

The company was easy to work with and there were no surprises.

We had a wonderful week at the Seafarer. We especially enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen and huge windows overlooking the bay.

As always On the Water provides excellent service.

Again a wonderful stay. This is the perfect house for our family. The view is outstanding and even though our week was mostly fogged in, we had plenty of space to play board games and do puzzles.

Working with On the Water in Maine was a very positive experience. Paige was extremely helpful with planning our trip and answering questions as they came up. She was always just a phone call away-practically day or night.

The vacation house on Stover's Cove in Harpswell was a gem for all 8 adults and one very energetic and nature loving 3 year old. The house itself presented a very clean, updated open floor plan with well equipped kitchen flowing into the main living room area, large adjoining deck and glass/screened in sunroom. All provided beautiful water views for our family to enjoy together while we were eating meals, board game playing by the glow of the gas fire place on a cool night, star gazing, or catching a favorite movie on the new big screen TV. The new Weber grill on deck was a hit with the grill master among our group! The generously sized and comfortably furnished 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms was perfect for our large group. The young family with the 3 year old utilized the bedroom in the media room which gave them access to the large fenced in yard for early morning exploring. We enjoyed the views from the master bedroom suite with its own deck for not only beautiful sunrises but passing lobster boats, sailboats and star gazing. The skylight window above the bed gave additional starry night views. Easy access to the pebbly beach allowed our family to all try our hand at fishing and kayaking. The cove is perfect for both beginner and experienced kayakers with additional views of the area. We also took full advantage of the easily accessed hiking trails and preserves within short driving distance. The Giant Stairs was the most impressive of the trails we hiked. We spent half a day at Pott's Point investigating the tidal pools and beaches followed by lobster rolls at Este's restaurant. Don't miss a meal or two (or three) out at Erica's lobster shack. Lobsters come in right off the boat, and Tom is a trip.

You have always been great, but this year was definitely the best. Everything was smooth. No issues. Thanks.

This house has one of the best and most relaxing views I have encountered in a vacation property. It's a small house, but it's perfect for a few people, especially a family with children. It's a smart house in terms of how it's configured and laid out. We will be back.

When we checked in we noticed a few minor issues and contacted you at 4:30 on a Saturday. We spoke to Meg and she was at the house within 45 minutes and fixed the problems. She also helped us (the old folks) navigate the electronics (TV, netflix, DVD) as our grandkids weren't coming until the next day. Paige and Meg are very professional and extremely helpful

A great lakeside house with lots of space. We took our son and his family with us and we were worried that we would be cramped and on top of each other. But the 3 floors in this house were ideal, as the kids were in the loft, our son and daughter-in-law in the lower level and we were on the main floor. We also spent lots of time on the screened in porch. The grandkids had a great time on the lake and we were so glad that we rented a kayak and a paddle board.

Paige was incredible from the first day we talked! She gave us multiple options and accommodated to our budget. Even though you don't see anyone from the company (ever), they are on top of everything! They where very responsive to questions and concerns that we had and responded very fast when we had an issue.

The house was amazing! Everything about it was perfect! Let's start by the kitchen. Very well equipped with high-end appliances. A lot of variety in pots and pans as well as a nice sized sink and excellent dishwasher. The master bedroom is beautiful with a beautiful porch. The rooms at the top level are very comfortable with large closet space. Also, washer and dryer are excellent!

Everything has always gone well with OTWIM during the rental process and arrival and departure.

We have rented Camden Casa for the last 4 years and another rental with you before that, Weeks End. We have had our daughters and their families, our grandchildren here as well and they and we, love everything about it. It is very comfortable and child friendly with gorgeous views of the bay, islands, tall ships, lobster boats, gulls, osprey. We love listening to the waves as the tides flow, the bouys clanging and the rustling of the trees.
