Guest Reviews

On the Water in Maine is very easy to work with and if there are any concerns, it is easy to get a response from them and they are very welcoming. The material they leave in the rentals is informative even for those of us who are frequent Maine visitors and already have our favorite places.

This is an absolutely lovely place and you cannot ask for a better view...overlooking Rockport Harbor. It is comfortable and decorated nicely and has everything you could possibly need. We loved staying there.

On the Water in Maine is a great agency to work with to plan your vacation. This is the 3rd year we have used them and again,it wss a wonderful experience. We wouldn't use anyone else!

Altus Cottage is an excellent place to stay while vacationing in Maine. The owner spared no expense building or furnishing this home. We have rented this house the last 2 yrs and love it. The view is great, it is perfectly located and is just comfortable to live in. I would recommend this home to anyone to rent for their vacation. You won't be disappointed.

On the Water in Maine was so great to work with. Everyone was super friendly, and answered all of our questions. Justin answered the phone on a Sunday, and we asked a question that he wasn't sure about, and he called back within five minutes! Great agency!!!

Loon Landing was by far the best place we have ever rented. The house was amazing, with an amazing view of the lake, very clean, and very peaceful. I will definitely be returning!

OTWM was always responsive and helpful from the moment I called to make a reservation for next year when we checked out. They are very professional and respect their as well as their renters. Email communication was very efficient and the Property Book included everything we needed to know about the home.

We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful home in Rockport. The setting was perfectly Maine and the well designed home just added to the ambiance. We love to cook and the well equipped kitchen made meal prep very enjoyable.

Working with the company was smooth and efficient.

Compass Rose was a lovely spot for a getaway. Clean, close to the Bay and centrally located for drives to Bar Harbor and Acadia. The cottage was as promised.

On the Water is the best. Friendly, responsive, helpful.

Wonderful, relaxing vacation at this beautifully-maintained house. Unmatched views from deck and family room. Large, well-stocked kitchen with everything you could possibly need.

On the Water in Maine Inc. has been wonderful to deal with. Always very polite and helpful with the information forwarded in their emails inviting and friendly. Clearly the owners have been doing this for one or two years! :-)

We loved staying at the Crow's Nest in Bayside! With an unbeatable view of the ocean, wrap-around covered porch and a large green space adjacent to the property, we could not have asked for anything better. There were only two of us, so having the extra bedroom was good for storing our suitcases and such and otherwise had plenty of space. The little island in the kitchen was very helpful. As it happened, as we were finishing packing the car to leave, one of your associates stopped by to check on the condition of the unit and mentioned this property may not be available next year due to the owner's wanting to make some improvements. Hopefully, whatever improvements are made can be finished by this time next year because we would love to go back to this spot!

Easy to deal with, responsive and pleasant.

The house is perfect. Great location. Comfortable and cozy.

On the Water in Maine was very professional. The kept us informed and up to date. We arranged our reservation in March and On the Water stayed in touch right up until we checked in in September.

Cozy and secluded and offers a peaceful escape. The dock is a wonderful place to sit and have morning coffee while you are facing directly east to watch the sun rise. Furthermore, having a canoe available allows you to experience the lake beyond the dock. It allowed us to experience the local wildlife. Specifically, the loons, the king fisher, Canadian gees, Herons, Ospreys, and a wide variety of ducks. The cottage itself was clean and well furnished. We enjoyed having our meals at the kitchen bar, the sunroom or outside in the sitting area. While it was my husband and I, the cottage is perfect for a small family.

This is our second time working with ON THE WATER IN MAINE and all we can say is VERY PROFESSIONAL. Their website is very user friendly and their emails very informative. Every staff member we spoke to was very friendly and helpful.

SO ROMANTIC!!! The beautiful stone fireplace, the hot tub, the king size bed and the amazing views from it, the window seat, the claw foot tub and the privacy of the property all were incredibly romantic. We loved that the deck was shaded in the afternoon by the property trees. We often laid on the comfortable lounging deck chairs and watched the full moon rise. There are 3 televisions on the property and we did not turn one on even once. The views commanded our attention. AMAZING!!!

Everything was spelled out as far as billing and the rental depiction was accurate no surprises

Well equipped and neat as a pin with awesome views comforting couches and great beds and bedding in a central locatin

Very responsive and professional managers.

Grove Street Cottage is a very thoughtfully and tastefully furnished home in a very convenient location. Everything in the home was very comfortable; the beds, the living room and patio furniture, and even the benches at the kitchen table. Lovely indeed. In almost every way this rental was absolutely wonderful. The only drawbacks for us were that, having the windows open on the third floor, the traffic noise at night was significant and being an old house, and being that the owner has chosen to leave floor joists exposed, sound between the second and third floors is also significant.

Very professional and attentive to detail.

Very secluded, very quiet, very beautiful. A slice of heaven! Second year at the house.

The staff at OTWIM was fantastic! Meg was awesome and so accommodating. She explained everything to this 1st timer and made it very easy!

The Aerie Cottage was just beautiful. Loved the "crows nest" second floor master bedroom. The room was completely surrounded with windows that provided spectacular views. It was well furnished and stocked with everything you can possibly need. The property grounds was well taken care of and was very private. Loved the access to the water in front and back of the cottage! The fire pit by the water was fantastic especially during early evening...The Aerie Cottage accepted dogs with was a BIG bonus!

This is our third year renting through On the Water and, true to form, the agency was efficient, friendly and helpful before and during our stay at our rental. Because of personal circumstances, we had to arrive a couple of days late, and very late in the evening, at the start of our two weeks at the cottage, and Justin was helpful and very accommodating in response to this change in our plans.

Bayberry Cottage is the perfect vacation property! We loved the gardens, the location and the thoughtful details for a comfortable stay that the owners have provided. The house is very comfortable ~ even on a rainy day (which we didn't experience the entire two weeks we were there!) when snuggling up on a couch with tea and a good book would be delightful! We toured the Olson property (A. Wyeth fame) while there ~ which is just down the road from Bayberry Cottage. We had our daughter and her husband with us for part of our stay, and they loved the place as much as we did. Thank you for offering this wonderful property for us to enjoy!

Everyone from OTWM was personable and knowledgeable. It felt like I was talking to and old friend every time I called. When I had an issue, the return call was made within 3 minutes. Problem promptly solved. All businesses should be as efficient and pleasant to deal with.

The view. It was all about the view. We arrived with things to do and great aspirations of getting them done. We got nothing done. No complaints. We just couldn't stop soaking up the view. Peaceful, tranquil and always beautiful. We never got tired of the view. We ate at home every night so we wouldn't be away from the view and comforts of home. Wonderful experience. Can't wait to come again.

The agency makes the rental experience fast and easy, and the responsiveness of the team members is noteworthy.

Our second visit to the same delightful property was a most relaxing and enjoyable 14 days. The view from the apartment and its proximity to Camden's downtown and attractions make this a spot to which we expect to return.

The agent was not receptive to our initial comments about the lack of cleanliness of the cottage and the stained linens.

What a wonderful place for a relaxing vacation. We loved the magnificent views, the nice deck, and especially the beach, where we had our morning coffee every day.

As always, OTW is the easiest, most professional rental agency I have dealt with.

The location is superb.

This agency is amazing! Everyoneissoniceand they are so responsive. Justin couldn't be more kind and responsive.

We love this house! We rented two years in a row with friends from So. Carolina. This house is solid ,homey, plenty of room ( rarely found 3 beds with 3 bathrooms.). The location is amazing! You an walk to restaurants, pubs, shops and you're a few miles from Camden, Thomaston, Rockport. Easy day trips include Boothbay Harbor, Pemaquid, Wiscasset,Lincolnville among others. You're also close to ferry terminal including Knights dock where you can buy lobsters fresh off the boat! Take those lobsters to Cuzzys in Camden and they'll cook them for $1 each! That's how they support their local fisherman! The house is so convenient yet quiet and serene.

Very accommodating. Everything was on a Professional Level.

Loved the house and the location to town.

The agency is overall good, which is why this was the 4th house we have rented with OTWIM.

Altus cottage was less than comfortable. While the location was nice, and the gas range in the kitchen made it easy to cook, that is about where it ended. This cottage is obviously for people who don't expect to spend much time there. The living space is tiny, despite the cottage sleeping 8. It is a place to hang your hat while spending time elsewhere.
