Guest Reviews

Very nice vacation home - good size and features for a family.

This was our second summer staying at the Bar Island home, and it was just as wonderful this year as it was the first. It's peaceful, beautiful, and gorgeously designed.

We were very well informed of expectations during the rental process, check in and check out procedures, and for during our stay. One aspect of the Guest's binder that our family found to be particularly useful was the "On the Water in Maine" owner's suggested itinerary for a week in Maine. We took advantage of several of his suggestions, including an awesome hike up the Bald Rock trail.

North Cottage exceeded our expectations in terms of beauty, space, and decor. We felt at home right away and were amazed by the incredible views seen through the numerous, large windows.

We did everything online but the check-in and check-out which is done by phone. Everything worked like clock work. Emails came out letting you know that payments were coming up and we got the directions exactly when they said they would.

You can't beat the porch at Harmony Cottage. We sat out there every day just enjoying the view and the nice breeze. We even got to watch a boat pull up their lobster traps. I've only been in one other vacation rental in my life and I am happy to say that the amenities at the cottage surpassed our expectations. Plenty of utensils, plates, towels, etc. They have a washer and dryer but also a clothes line which was nice. The owners even had a really nice binder put together with things to do. Northport is a great area. You can choose to lounge around and enjoy the weather or take a quick trip to Belfast or Camden to find things to do.

working with "on the water" was easy, efficient, informative & kept up updated with every step in the rental process.

Beautiful setting, great view! The house was basically clean & fully equipped. We were very comfortable in the house & our 2 grandchildren had a wonderful time on the water.

Working with On the Water in Maine, Inc. was a pleasant experience. The staff was very personable and accommodating!

Rip's View in East Boothbay is a lovely well maintained cottage. There was plenty of room for our party of 7 and we enjoyed our stay very much!

Everything was convenient. I had asked if kayaks were available on the property and the woman on the phone said no. We brought our 12 ft kayak on the back of our truck and it stuck out a few feet making it difficult to stop anywhere such as Portland and driving through Boston was a bit hairy. the cottage had several kayaks and a canoe available so we didn't need to bring our kayak after all. Other than that we had no complaints - OTWIM Comment. The canoe and kayaks at the property are the Owners and not included with the rental.

The view of the lake from the cabin was beautiful. My husband and I slept in the boathouse which was right at the waters edge. It was so peaceful with nothing but the sound of the water and loons. We enjoyed kayaking fishing and swimming on the lake. The cottage had a great rustic feel but was clean, well maintained with nice furniture and artwork. It had everything we needed. We went to Belfast and found a few interesting shops and good restaurants. We liked that the area wasn't too crowded or touristy.

Extremely professional. Great.

Wonderful, relaxed family home with access to water at house! Kids did lots of fishing off the dock. So nice to have the water available for use after a day of exploring the area!

We always enjoy working with On the Water in Maine. Very professional.

Loved the house and the location. Felt as if we were back in old Maine. Watching the lobster boats coming and going from the porch swing was idyllic.

Very satisfactory arrangements. Easy check in and out, professional cleaning helpful--one doesn't have to carefully clean after oneself.

Comfortable, well-equipped house, two-level (ground floor-first floor). Access to Crockett's beach is a great feature, and there is view of the sea from living-room, front deck, and the bedroom upstairs. Fans worked well, but A/C goes regularly out of function, seemingly out of its own vibrations, and needs to be delicately repositioned to get back into working order--often one just gives up. Better A/C is needed. - OTWIM Comment 8/1/16 - Noted - Requesting a new one from the Owner.

Very friendly and helpful staff.

Loved the back porch and the dock. The water entrance was gradual and good for the kids in our group. The overall feel of the property was dry homey and welcoming.

We have rented vacation houses in other parts of the world for many years, but there is NO other agency we know that works this hard or so successfully to make sure the rental experience is seamless, efficient and happy.

The location of Rough House is unparalleled! It has two wonderful terraces on either side that provide incredible views sweeping downhill over a gorgeous hayfield. In addition to the nearby water, western views also include breathtaking sunsets over the hills and mountains behind Rockport. This house is cozy and warm on a rainy day but thanks to it's abundant windows, catches the breeze to stay cool even in a heatwave. Perfect in every way.

It was seamless and effortless.

Love the outside deck with hanging lights and screened in porch for evenings.

Very efficient and helpful .

We loved everything about the Gulls. It's on a beautiful spot on the water,. Peaceful and full of life. It is also just a short drive to eatting and shopping . The house had all the provisions you need already there.

Very great to work with and was very helpful.

The house was amazing. You can't beat the view. It was our first trip to Maine and we loved it. The house was perfect and we enjoyed the large back yard. We really made a lot of great memories during the vacation and enjoyed the quality family time!

We love the extent of the information that was provided and the open lines of communication.

The Captain's Cottage is adorable, well-appointed, and in the perfect location for easily strolling around downtown Camden.

There's never been a better agency, It's our second stay with "on the water" and we give you folks all our "Five Stars"

We arrived at the front door and knew instantly "this is where we wanted to be" and that feeling was so true the entire two week stay. The children were immediately on the pier, there was a swim before even unoacking. We remained near, upon, and in the water every day and sometimes all day.

On the Water in Maine Inc. is easy to work with and very responsive to the needs of it's customers.

The Jewell is well appointed and spacious. It is ideal for anyone confined to a wheel chair or has limited mobility.

I have had only positive experiences renting with On The Water In Maine.

I love the site. It is the perfect spot to spend our vacation.

Working with On the Water couldn't be easier. The company is one of the most well organized I have ever worked with, and they represent great properties.

Candy's cove is a wonderful property. Spectacular view, well appointed home, and a great location. We can't wait to return.
