Guest Reviews

On the Water in Maine has always been terrific..there when you need them .....reminds you to close windows when it rains friendly and helpful.

Loved our property for the second year in a row but this time we stayed two weeks and we are glad we did. It is right on the water with a dock and great neighbors.great decks. Love the cozy decor and just the who,e feeling of the place.

Great location, close to Lincolnville Beach and Camden. Fantastic views from the deck, kids liked the access to the Ducktrap river from the property. We took advantage of the tennis court, heated salt water pool and the shuffleboard and pool table. Everything was top notch.

We were totally pleased with the customer service by the On the Water in Maine. From our first inquiry all questions were answered accurately and cheerfully. We made a small service request for the clothes dryer during our stay and it was addressed within a few hours.

This is a lovely cottage with spectacular views of sunsets over the river. The owners have done a wonderful job of providing everything you could possibly need for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The kitchen is extremely well equipped. All the furniture and decorative accessories throughout the cottage are so appropriate and obviously well planned by someone with good taste and an eye for style.

On the Water in Maine was great - no issues, no hassles. Even texted a warning to us when a storm was approaching.

Fabulous house, beautiful gardens. The guest house was perfect for the in-laws....

The staff at On the Water in Maine were all kind and easy to deal with, and they did everything to ensure we had a perfect stay! Definitely one of the nicest rental agencies we've encountered!

The house was delightful. A perfect, storybook lake cottage, set right on Coleman Pond. The owners have decorated with charming furnishings and little "touches" such as stenciled designs and adorable knickknacks that give the place a truly homey feel. There was ample room for the eight of us to spread out and enjoy the main family room, which has a large sofa set and TV, and our sons loved the antique piano! We enjoyed the wonderful, updated kitchen; the ample seating for meals, and the spacious layout, which provided wonderful views of the water and delightful breezes. The beds were all comfortable, and there were plenty of fans, including overhead ceiling fans, to keep us cool. The grounds are lovely and included a partially-screened deck and a large, private yard directly fronting the pond. Our boys loved using the paddleboat and swim float, and we rented kayaks to explore further. There is also a firepit, and we enjoyed building bonfires at night. The housekeeping was meticulous - we arrived to a spotless home, which was a delight. We would definitely return to Lakeside Lily's on our next visit to Maine!

Very professional, and responsive.

Ideal spot to vacation with our family.

Very professional and easy to work with - our 2nd time working with this agency for a reason!

We enjoyed our stay at Pine Cliff very much - the view was first rate and the house was outfitted with all we needed for a comfortable stay.

THIS WAS OUR 6TH YEAR RENTING THROUGH OTWIM. THE COMPANY HAS MOVED FROM VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT. THERE IS A FEELING OF EQUAL RESPONSIBILITY EXPECTED FROM OWNER AND RENTER ALIKE. CONTACT WITH THE COMPANY IS QUICK AND CALLS ARE RELIABLY RETURNED.

OUR 3RD YEAR IN THIS PROPERTY SEEMED FAMILIAR AND WELCOMING. WE ENJOYED A SUPERLATIVE DINNER AT THE LOST KITCHEN IN FREEDOM, AN EXPERIENCE THAT ANYONE WHO LOVES FOOD SHOULD TRY TO HAVE. AND OUR SECOND BEST MEAL WAS THE ANCHOR IN ROUND POND RECOMMENDED BY JUSTIN. IT LOOKS LIKE TYPICAL MAINE SEAFOOD ON PAPER BUT IT IS TRULY GOURMET.

Nice location near the end of a dead end road; great fishing

On The Water was incredibly responsive to my questions and issues. Justin answered each and every phone call, even though I know it's the busiest time of the year. They were wonderful.

Wonderful location, property was very clean, everything in it was tasteful (unlike most rental properties which have an accumulation of crappy stuff)

Your staff was always helpful and welcoming as well as enthusiastic. I never felt it was difficult to contact them or to discuss any issues with them.

Lovely home with beautiful view but not very well equipped for a group of ten although it sleeps ten. We loved the house overall, especially the location. We never tried to find the local beach.

Everyone was helpful and accommodating.

We loved staying at Bayside again this year. The cottage was perfect for our family.

On the Water in Maine really answers all your questions before you have to ask them. There was a good amount of information sent our way (but all useful and it was never TOO much information). Also, when we arrived, our original rental had an unexpected bug problem. Within an hour, Justin had moved us to a new rental, they took care of the problem, and we were able to go back to our original spot in a few days. Stuff like this happens--such is life--and On the Water was extremely gracious and efficient in rectifying the situation. We'd recommend them to anyone.

The Whitmore Creek Carriage House is wonderfully situated--just a few minutes walk to shops and restaurants in downtown Camden, yet it feels secluded and private as it is at the end of a dead end road. Laite beach is only about a ten minute walk away too. The location is really ideal. Also, the place was extremely clean, with a surprisingly well-stocked kitchen given the size of the property. It's perfect for a couple. The only thing I would want people to be aware of, as it was not included in any of the listing information, is that the stairway is a very narrow modular stair with irregularly sized treads. It's really not a problem once you get used to it, but I would guess that anyone with mobility issues would not handle it too well. Also, because the bathroom is on the ground floor, navigating the stair in the middle of the night is something that some guests might want to consider. All in all, this is a wonderful, thoughtfully laid-out place with plenty of storage, lots of hanging areas for clothes, great water pressure, fast internet connection, and a good work space as well.

Everything went very smoothly - thanks!

Pine Cliff is a great property - fantastic views, comfortable, and close to town.

The view was wonderful, and the property was both private and close to town and attractions.

This is my third rental through On The Water in Maine. The properties have been great and the booking experience and check in/ out experience easy.

Absolutely perfect location! Gorgeous kayaking, swimming and birdwatching. The loons calling at night was incredible, and dolphins swimming during high tide was an awesome experience.

On the Water in Maine was great to work with: very thorough and professional. We would definitely use again for another vacation. You were recommended to us by friends, and we in turn have recommended your agency to friends!

The house had beautiful views and was exactly as pictured. The house was equipped with everything we could need for our two week stay. Our children loved jumping off the dock and swimming in the lake, and we kayaked nearly every day.

I have not found an easier group of people to work with. On the Water in Maine is a complete pleasure. The communication, attention to detail, welcoming spirit and accessibility is second to none. All instruction are clear and concise without being overwhelming or overbearing.

The location of this property is phenomenal. Easy 5min walk to Main Street and harbor. Just steps from public boat launch that is a gem of it's own with gorgeous views of boats and great place to sit and watch activity and sunset in early evenings. For the adventurous, the Mt. Battie trailhead is a 15min walk from the property.
