On the Water in Maine is a very efficient organization. We had a problem with a fire alarm which they handled in a timely fashion. The cottage was very clean when we arrived. The instruction booklet covers all the details. Booking the cottage online was easy and efficient.

The cottages are beautiful with so many personal touches. Lovely artwork and wall hangings. The woodwork in the cottages is exceptional with all windows well places for optimum viewing and cleverly screened. The kitchen featured a brand new gas stove of high quality so cooking was easy. The kitchen was very well equipped though it could use a microwave. There was very adaquate hot water for showering and the outdoor shower is one of the nicest I have seen. The cottage bedding was for the most part comfortable but the little bunk room was difficult for some of us adults due to the bars placed there to keep children from falling out of bed. I would definitely return as this property has so much charm and such a cozy and welcoming feel. We loved having drinks on the porch every evening, listening to the loons and enjoying the view of the pond. Also enjoyed some really awesome dinners sitting around the dining table.

Working with the agency was pleasant and hassle free

The house was very well equipped. Had a delightful stay in the cooler weather from our accustomed 100 degree weather

On the Water in Maine Inc. was a very easy company to rent through. We loved the fact that we were hearing from them periodically before our stay to keep us informed. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Periwinkle was a wonderful cottage! The view of the water was where we parked ourselves every morning with a cup of coffee. The beds were comfortable and the cottage was so charming! The amenities were great! I loved having a dish washer and washer and dryer. The fact that we were able to bring our dog was the best! He had an amazing time as well! We could not have. Even more comfortable! Thank you!

Professional - efficient- responsive. Thanks!

This is a truly rare experience in Maine, even for those of us who have visited the coast often. The property sits alone on a point near the head of a tidal inlet, facing due west. Sunsets last a hour; breeze from the ocean is constant, and this is dark sky country - amazing! When we weren't sitting on the open porch watching the natural world go by, we were relaxing in a beautifully simple open interior with all the amenities we needed.

Excellent professional service

Beautiful house, good location, well equipped and tastefully decorated.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff

Loved the view. The dock was great and the surrounding trees and picnic table was picturesque

Well run operation

Awesome place. We stayed 2 weeks here summer of 2016 and returned for another 2 weeks this year. Our favorite features: the dock and mooring are protected from ocean swell but big enough for our 27 foot boat, perfect location from which to launch island adventures or trips to town. The views toward town from master BR, kitchen table, deck and porch are amazing, especially at sunset. It's the right blend of cottage and comfortable thanks to nicer kitchen and AC. Barn offers guest quarters and lots of parking.

On the Water in Maine has been a pleasure to work with; we have used them four times for rentals.

Driftwood cottage has the perfect setting, close to the water and very private.

Very accommodating. Liked the check-in process with a door code instead of having to go to the rental agency to get keys. The entire process is electronic which makes everything so easy. All points of contact were professional and very friendly.

What a beautiful property! It actually is more beautiful than the pictures. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need, including sharp knives. It is very nicely decorated. The views from the house overlooking the ocean are spectacular.

Since this was our second time working with your agency, everything was more familiar. All aspects of the rental process went smoothly. We only had 1 issue with the property...a squirrel (I think) made its way into the roof/ceiling and I called to report it. The issue was taken care of that day and we had no more visitors.

This was our 2nd time staying at the Crocketts Beach property. I feel like it has become our "home away from home". We love the location of the house..just a few feet from the beach. We can listen to the waves break on the shore at night and enjoy the clear starlit sky. The house has all the amenities we need on vacation..outdoor tables and chairs, a gas grill, even beach toys and games for the kids. Pretty much everything we need for everyday life is provided.

Everyone has always been very accommodating and helpful. When our coffee pot quit working a new one was delivered within a few hours. They allowed me to drop off luggage and food before the check in time when we departed our other rental.

Camden Casa has been a perfect place for us to get out of Texas and enjoy all the beauty Maine has to offer. We have returned several years and stayed several weeks as have our daughters' families with our grandchildren. The deck outside is perfect for small children and we love the views and the access to the beach and rocks. The newly added granite steps to the shore line are very helpful. The dcor is lovely and homey feeling and the appliances work well. We plan on returning next summer.

Everything went smoothly and as described.

We had a wonderful week at the Rough House. The cottage feels much larger than its square footage, is well lit, has excellent cross ventilation, and overall is very comfortable. The location is ideal for long walks or a short drive into Rockport and Camden. And the peaceful setting was fabulous.

The On the Water staff was professional and thorough. It was a pleasure talking with them.

My family loved Woodland Lodge and the Bayside community. Our accommodations were charming and full of character. The house was expertly decorated and made us feel right at home. The kitchen was well stocked. And the gardens surrounding the house were beautiful. The only drawback was poor to no Wi-Fi service. Otherwise, Woodland Lodge is the perfect 10!

very professional and smooth

great week. 1st time in the Jones Cottage, it was terrific! Loved the updated kitchen/bath and the overall decor of the home. great location as well!

On the Water in Maine was a pleasure to work with, issues were addressed quickly and professionally.

Loon Call Cottage had everything we needed for a great escape. The house was well-stocked and the setting is magnificent. We especially loved the kayaks and canoe that came with the house.

It's always easy working with your group but this summer I had no need to even call you once as everything was in order.

As always we loved griffin cottage. It has become a home away from home for two weeks each summer. Unfortunately because of a physical problem with my husband he could only stay one week but our son and wife came some of the time.

For the most part it was a good experience. Nikki in particular was very helpful. Also We have rented houses in Maine for 11 years and not experienced the inflexibility of the 4:00 check-in. Essentially you rent for six days, not seven. Otherwise the agency experience was fine.

We loved the house. Every need was anticipated and met. We particularly loved the large collection of books which sometimes interfered with our plans to head to the lake. The furniture was comfortable, the showers hot and there were lots of places to hang out. The lake was the star but the house came in a close second.
