Guest Reviews

Could not be more satisfied with On the Water in Maine. For 8 years now, we have rented through them and each contact we have had with a representative has been a pleasure including this year.

We certainly enjoyed Port of Call. It is very modern & clean inside, has a large private lot, a great deck to watch the lobster pier, large rooms, large windows, a great location only 4 miles out of Rockland. This was our 8th year of renting thru On the Water and our 6th different home.

GREAT PEOPLE AT ON THE WATER IN MAINE. GIVE THEM ALL A RAISE!!!

Very comfortable house, and great location.

Always a pleasure.

Excellent location nearby Rockland. Pretty view. House is very comfortable.

Everything was great.

Another great vacation at Dunbar a/k/a Grey Cottage. Couldn't ask for a more beautiful peaceful setting. Lots of wildlife to observe, eagle made a daily visit along with the seals. Only, missed the old comfy couch!

On the Water in Maine was great. I mainly worked with Kelsey, but Paige and Justin (owner) were extremely responsive when we needed something. I know it stings to pay the booking fee for going through an agency, but with this company, you really get something for your money.

Chestnut Cottage is one of the most pleasant and well equipped vacation rentals I have ever stayed in. The owner has really thought of everything. The house is furnished tastefully. The kitchen is particularly well equipped and organized. We rarely needed a kitchen appliance or gadget that wasn't provided. I really appreciated how well stocked the house was with "getting started supplies" like soap, detergents, spices and staples, and paper products. All bedrooms had ceiling fans and good storage for clothing so you didn't have to live out of a suitcase. The combination lock was nice because everyone had access to the house and we didn't have to keep up with who had the key. The location was great. It was nice to be able to walk to town, and even to Rockport to Graffam's Lobster Shack a couple of times. I have stayed in dozens of vacation rentals and this was one of the best without a doubt.

We would definitely work with On the Water in Maine again.

Very nice home. Well appointed kitchen. Comfortable beds. Good water. Great view.

The agency is terrific and I heartily recommend it to anyone wanting to rent in midcoast.

We loved the house, as we did when we rented it in 2015. The location is perfect, the pond is beautiful, and the house itself is incredibly warm and comfortable. This year, however, we had a few hurdles that made our stay a bit difficult: first, the presence of yellow jacket nests all over the outside of the house. These things are bound to happen in Maine, but I am deathly allergic, and given all the renters who doubtless stay over the course of a season, I would have thought that a caretaker would have been more on the ball to keep up with them. More than once we were strafed by them, which prevented us from spending as much time on the deck as we would have liked. Second, the neighbors were incredibly noisy; one talked at the top of her lungs at 6:30 am every morning, their dog ran loose all over the rental property, we came home from Camden one day to find them having a party and a jacked-up pickup truck was parked in the driveway on the rental property. Kind of a drag, considering we go to Maine for quiet. Overall, it was a delightful stay, albeit challenging at times.

Everyone very helpful!

Our fourth year at blue glass cottage. Love the house, love the neighborhood and love the location hope to come back again!

Knowledgeable. Easy to work with.

Our Song on Lermond Pond was superb! The views from the living area, kitchen, dock, etc. were very soothing. We had to put our dog of 12 years to sleep midway through the vacation and it was the serenity of the cottage that got us through this tough time. Having the kayaks was fantastic! I paddled every day even when the weather threatened. Bathrooms were outstanding. Kitchen was the most well stocked kitchen I have even been in! It's location near everything made exploring very easy.

Booking with On the Water in Maine is always clear & easy to do online.

Enjoyed another lovely week at Deep Cove. It's now a family & friends' September tradition. Thank you!

The system in place by On the Water in Maine made the process seamless.

The setting was wonderful. It was very private and peaceful.

Straightforward rental agreement, we were informed of everything we needed all through the process.

The extensive hiking trails were fun for all, watching the seals rangle the mackerel from both ends like an all you can eat buffet as the tides change, the large yard was a favorite for my two Labrador retrievers

As a repeat customer, we're used to your modus operandi; it's like clockwork. Booking and getting the payments taken care of is easy and you send reminders only when necessary. We like that and you for it. Also like to get your occasional emails about other properties, mostly the "for sale" kind just to daydream. But Compass Rose will always remain our all time favorite.

This is our ninth year at Compass Rose Cottage. Obviously, we love it there. We look forward to "our week" every year. It is a quintessential Maine cottage, white washed floors, walls, scatter rugs, comfy chairs and that wraparound screened porch overlooking our private beach can't be beat. All the modern comforts of home and lots of privacy. Great restaurants and places to poke around--- we love Belfast the most. But just enjoying the screened porch or relaxing on the beach is just fine, too.

Great rental experience-everything went without a hitch.

Wonderful property-great location and view, well-appointed house. We loved it!

You have been available and helpful!

We are repeat vacationers and love staying at Rosehill cottage.....great deck and rest of house!

Great company to work with!

Loved the rental property with the exception of the walk down to the dock. Very open and relaxing home!

All of my experiences past and present a have been good. Have spoken to a couple of the women in the office and all were refreshing to speak with due to the personnel customer service they gave.

My husband and I just loved this place, so homey!! The kitchen is great, but the view from the Gazabo are of the porch is just great all day long. It makes you forget your busy life back home. The one you go back to after this restful and joyous time at this home with family and friends.

Nothing has changed over the years: On the Water in Maine is still the best vacation house rental service we've ever worked with.

Our stay at Deep Cove was as wonderful as ever. This was our fifth or sixth visit, and we've come to know the area extremely well. A perfect Maine vacation.....

On the Water In Maine is a superior rental agency that goes above and beyond simply serving as an "agent". They are very friendly to work with and it feels like you are talking to family (that you like!).

This was by far the finest property in which we have stayed in Maine! We have always loved water views and access to the water, but Nakomis Cottage is top of the line. Our favorite features would be the beauty of the house inside and out and the closeness to the water.

Excellent customer service! We loved our dealings with On the Water In Maine. So much so that we've decided to make them our real estate agents!

We loved the helpfulness of your staff. The house was completed equipped with anything we could possibly need.
