Guest Reviews

On the Water in Maine is a fantastic company to work with. I would not choose to rent through anyone else as I have had nothing but positive experiences with the entire staff - especially Kelsey who has been so helpful and responsive to any of my questions or concerns. I feel very confident that properties are exactly as they appear on line - or better! I look forward to many more special Maine vacations in rentals through OTWIM.

Midpoint is an exceptionally beautiful property with numerous amenities and all the comforts of home. The water views are gorgeous and the gardens add another layer of loveliness to the surroundings. I am sorry to see Midpoint taken off the available properties but I thank the owners for two years of wonderful memories!

The view of the inlet and moored boats was beautiful. A lovely spot.

Very easy to work with. Genuinely nice folks that tried to accomodate us.

The house was very cozy...very vintage, but well appointed. The front porch was very comfortable, even in cooler weather and the view to the water was also nice. This was our first visit to Northport. Bayside is very quaint and close to the larger towns in the area. We really enjoyed the stay.

The staff are great to work with. They are willing to help in any way they can.

We love Harmony Cottage! It is perfect for our stay which is why we keep returning to the same property. The only suggestion is to take down that young tree that is beginning to block the view from the porch.

Very efficient.timely and thorough!

We loved the view and proximity ( walking distance) to the lobster docks and the General Store in Owls Head. We like the layout of the house with the two bedrooms and bath and a sitting room upstairs in addition to the downstairs area.We would love to see a bigger more comfortable sofa in the downstairs living room area and the removal of the very large coffee table as it makes it more difficult to enjoy sitting in that area. We love the beautiful antiques and coziness of the property.

First time working with On the Water. Everything went smoothly and someone always there to answer any questions.

We have been renting this property for years. The location is great and the view is fantastic. The Cottage is cozy and has all the things available to make it comfortable. Beds were comfy too.

Very good.

Always enjoy everything about location.

On the Water in Maine was Straightforward; responsive; cordial.

This is the third time our family has rented this property, and, as on the other years, it did not disappoint. Each room having an en suite was quite nice. We enjoyed the updates to the kitchen. All the rooms are comfortable and spacious. The location works well for us as it is within walking distance of restaurants, shopping, Farnsworth, etc. and right across from the harbor walk. My only suggestion (and I know this is difficult when stocking rental property) is to include a good sharp knife. Even those "disposable" Hinkels are pretty good; better than the assortment currently in the kitchen.

Everyone at On the Water in Maine, as always, is very pleasant; even when we exhibit "vacation brain" about certain things.

The home-like atmosphere and comforts of Camden Casa make the ocean experience perfect for our physical limitations.

We shared Deep Cove cottages with another retired couple. We all could not have been more impressed with both the cottages and the ease of working with "On the Water in Maine". I have rented homes, condos and bed and breakfasts in Hawaii, Europe and elsewhere and found these cottages to be exactly as represented and spotlessly clean. I do not sleep well anywhere, but the beds were very comfortable and I slept exceptionally well. All the essentials were there and we were able to buy lobsters from the dock in Spruce Head inexpensively to steam almost every night. Within a 30 minute drive to everything from bakeries( in Port Clyde and Tenants Harbor 2-4 miles) to Camden and Rockport sailing excursions. Weather was perfect. The phone and internet were spotty in the evening hours sometimes, which was of small consequence, considering the fact that we had the BEST VIEW EVER!

We had a wonderful experience as always.

The only thing we missed at this cottage was a fireplace. But then as warm as it was we probably would not have used it. It was a perfect site with a perfect lake. My husband fished and fished. Catch and release. It was the challenge he loved. We felt like On Golden Pond. The loons even greeted us on our arrival.

On-the-Water in Maine is great to work with.

2nd year at Vacationland. A very nice, private place tucked away out of the hustle and bustle but only about 10 minutes from downtown Camden.

On the water Maine was a pleasure to work with. Everything went without a hitch - which is just what one wants for vacation. The selection of homes was broad and it was especially nice to find, smaller affordable places for just the two of us.

Wonderfully equipped home, especially the kitchen. Loved how close it was to the little beach. And loved the Sun room - it's where we spent all our time!

Very easy ,organized,a pleasure seeing a company run this well.

The Nokomis beach house has everything you would want in a beach rental.Very high quality furnishings for a rental. My wife said if she would buy a house in Maine this would be the one.

We have been renting with On the Water in Maine for a few years now and every year the procedure is so seamless. We did have an issue this year but a call to them resolved it quickly. Everyone we have spoken with in the office has been so kind and accommodating. They are all so friendly and eager to assist. They have thought of every detail so our vacation rental experience will be terrific. It is a real joy to go through On the Water in Maine. We know when we unlock the door on that first day the house will be clean and welcoming. They do a fantastic job and we appreciate it so much!

Great house! Kitchen very well equipped except we never did find the waste basket. We made do without any issue. The porch is incredible. Every morning we sat with our coffee to watch the sunrise. So peaceful. Beds are so comfortable and the living room provided us with comfy areas to catch a nap or do reading. Lots of interesting reading material provided. By far our favorite spot was that amazing porch! Since our first week out of two gave us perfect weather we spent hours on the porch and in the chairs on the lawn. Our second week turned out foggy but we found plenty to do in the area.

Excellent service and awesome staff.Great process overall.

The cottage is wonderful. .our 4th year.

The folks at ON the Water in Maine are always available , they provide a professional and personal service not typically found with most companies. Love that it is family run and they go out of their way to make sure you are happy and comfortable. We look forward to our stay next year !!

Fabulous yard with fantastic views. Very simple home. Can walk into town and short drives to mid coastal towns.

We find working with this agency to be easy and unobtrusive. The instructions that one receives before arriving are complete and fully understandable. This year we had issues that needed attention, the heat, and the response was quick with good results. I have to say that working with On the Water in Maine has been the easiest and most pleasant experience that I have had after many years to dealing with rental property companies around the country.

This is the second time that we have stayed at this property - Blue Heron Cottage. We love the property, which has a wonderful view of the waterways around Spruce Head. We find the house very comfortable and accommodating. The only negative experiences that we had were the heat wasn't working (that was promptly fixed on Monday), the solar lights that provide the only outside lighting worked sporadically, and the TV only had the very basic offerings (the major networks, PBS and ION for some reason. What was an avid Red Sox fan to do? NO NESN! We only bring that up because last year the next set of basic offerings, which included NESN were available, and we were not told that this had changed.

On the Water in Maine is excellent!

I love the fact that I can lay in bed and hear the ocean wash up on the shore.

On the Water in Maine is very easy to work with...very kind and considerate!

3rd year in a row at Blueberry Hill Cottage and it gets better every year! We absolutely love the cottage and the view is amazing. The redone deck is a wonderful feature and perfect place to relax.

As always, the best and easiest to deal with.

The sound of waves breaking make the location very inviting.
