Friendly and easy to work with.

Peaceful setting. Well maintained cottage. Our second stay at Deep Cove.

Better than any other agency I've dealt with. Kelsey has incredible attention to detail!

The outdoor components of the property were wonderful. Well kept with beautiful views!

Choosing and booking the property went swimmingly, as did checking in. Our rental period was for 30 days, and we only had to contact On the Water twice and - by happenstance - both on the same day.

The property was perfect, and just what we wanted. It is comfortable and well appointed, beautifully and simply decorated and ideal for our family of four. It was well represented by On the Water, and I think was even better in person than the pictures. It was clean and welcoming when we arrived. I think the best feature were the beautiful views and large windows to enjoy them, as well as the large backyard that leads down to the water, and lovely deck with grill. The house is also well situated in Owls Head - it's a ten minute walk to the Owls Head lighthouse, or a short walk to the general store which offers great breakfast and lunch. It's also convenient to nearby towns like Rockland, Rockport and Camden, and its midcoast location makes it an easy drive to Portland and Boothbay or up to Bar Harbor or Bangor. We definitely recommend this place - and think it could probably accommodate up to six quite comfortably.

I have used vacation rentals many times and in several countries. On The Water in Maine is the most well-managed and detail-oriented agency I have used. They were very helpful and knowledgeable.

Bayberry Cottage is an amazing property in a beautiful setting. Everything we could ever need for a perfect vacation was provided. The comfortable furnishings, beautiful decor and obvious love the owner puts into the cottage made our stay perfect.

Almost organized web site and company. Everything goes very smoothly to make vacation more enjoyable.

Another wonderful vacation in a great spot. Comfortable accommodations .

As always - it was easy and wonderful.

This property had some of the most stunning views - meals and reading on the porch were just magical while watching the tides come in and out on Highins Beach. Just wonderful. And that's not even mentioning the grounds and Strawberry Beach - a private and beautiful place. Magic.

On the water were very professional and pleasant to deal with and gave us lots of information ahead of our stay. The whole booking process was simple and easy. We would definitely recommend.

We rented Blue Heron Cottage for a week in July 2017 and the whole family thought it was absolutely amazing. The views from the deck were spectacular and the house itself had everything we needed. The setting was one of the most idyllic imaginable. We couldn't be happier.

Super experience, all were very helpful and polite, quick response to any questions.

The property was lovely, beautiful setting, great beach and gorgeous views. Super location with quick access to Rockland and all it has to offer. Only wish we had more time to enjoy this property.

This is our 3rd year renting from this agency, and they are wonderfully organized and bend over backward to ensure the happiness of their guests.

The Periwinkle Cottage is a well equipped, peaceful and enjoyable place to experience a relaxing vacation in the Penobscot Bay area. The shore road is a great place to walk, and you get to see both the moon and sun rise over the water if the time is right. We really enjoyed our stay!

The agency is very accomodating and very professional.

The property was beautiful and neighbors were friendly. You can't beat the back yard and the ocean views. It was a charming property.

We had a great experience with On the Water in Maine. Everyone we spoke with was very friendly and helpful.

This property was extremely clean, well-stocked, and comfortable. The furnishings were new and the decor was perfect for Maine. We felt as though we were in a LlBean catalog! Out favorite part was the back deck and view!

On the Water in Maine is great, super helpful and with a very complete website giving details on all the properties.

We loved this place with its beautiful floating dock and perfect view of the lake. The house, though small, is beautiful and comfortable.

Great response at all times.

Always a pleasure to return to Grove Street!

On the Water is great to deal with. We had a couple of special requests that were accommodated without a problem.

The Blueberry Hill Cottage was perfect! Close to everything but very secluded as well. The views and beaches made us not want to ever leave the property.

I have been renting properties in Mid Coast Maine for many years through On The Water in Maine. This is a top shelf operation with wonderful rental properties and staff. The check in and check out are quick and easy and they provide great directions to the rental property. Thanks for a seamless vacation.

Juniper Banks is a beautiful property with great landscaping, flower gardens and a well built fire pit with plenty of deck and outside seating. There is a mowed path with a rope guide going down to the water where the children searched for sea glass and rocks. It is close to Rockland and numerous restaurants as well as a short walk to the Owls Head Store and Owls Head Light House which we hiked in the early morning with not another person in sight. The living accommodations were spacious and homey with 3 levels,2 separate living rooms, a well equipped kitchen and ocean views from all floors and 2 of the 3 bedrooms. We look forward to returning next year.

I have rented several houses through your agency and have always found you to be very organized and courteous. Last year we rented a house through an agency on Cape Cod and did not have such a positive experience, so I appreciated it even more this year.

This was our 3rd stay at the Cann's Beach House and it was another enjoyable stay. It was hard to leave that beautiful ocean view behind. As always the supply of linens, made up beds and cleanliness were a nice welcome upon our arrival.

Very easy communication.

Lovely house. Great grounds for children. Easy walk to beach. Easy drive into Rockland.

Excellent. When I called to get feedback on how the property we were considering would work for our family the person suggested Ginn Point Cottage because it was closer to the beach and had a layout that would work with small children. Even though it was beyond our budget, she worked with the owners to negotiate a rate that worked with our price range. Such a great experience.

Ginn Point Cottage was fantastic. The house was bright and airy and the view was phenomenal. We loved being able to walk right down on to the beach at low tide.
