On the Water in Maine made our first experience renting a vacation property so easy. The website is user friendly and the people I spoke with so helpful. The process of renting went smoothly with the emails, online agreements and payments. The cottage was very clean and even the front porch light was on when we arrived!

The Ducktrap Cottage was perfect for us. The simple, peaceful accommodations led to a relaxed vacation. We loved the cove at the end of the street, spending time there everyday exploring the shore and kayaking. Being able to cook some of our own meals was actually a welcome treat in the kitchen. We were sad to leave and go home.

Everyone was very pleasant to deal with. My initial dealings indicated that I could rent outboards and then I was told they no longer rented on this lake. I had a terrible time finding Maine Boat Rental. I must have tried 8-10 places before I was successful on my own. I have left a brochure for you in the smaller cabin. Maine Boat Rental, China.

We loved Loon Landing. The cabins were beautifully furnished and landscaped. The deck overlooked a gorgeous lake with lovely sunsets.

On the water. In Maine has never failed us and we are always confident that there will be no surprises upon arrival.

The island view house had an unusual layout which proved to be very comfortable. The layout appeared to have been given considerable thought and helped provide a pleasant stay. This is a new home cut into a wet, woodsy area. As might be expected we found the driveway area to be quite buggy. Going for walks were not possible. Luckily the deck and house were bug free. The wifi was extremely slow. We have rented. In the Rockland area. 6 or 7 times and never had these two problems. Otherwise the house wa sxcellant.

No problem working with On the Water in Maine. Instructions about the house and area and directions were adequate.

The view from the house and deck were lovely. The house itself needs some updating. The kitchen is too small for the number of guests (6) that the house can accommodate and the lack of a dishwasher was not pleasant for our party. Kitchen was well-stocked and the house was fairly clean.

Excellent always . Justin replied to our complaints and came to address issues the next day but could not put these things right other than new bed linen on one bed and fresh towels and some cleaning.
All these issues should have been dealt with BEFORE this cottage was rented out.
We would NEVER have taken this cottage if we had known the situation.

This property was well below the standard expected from your company.It was a total disappointment.It was shabby, dirty,full of mouse droppings,the furniture was not "rustic' but dirty, smelly and fit for the dump. We did not want to sit on it.The bed sheets were old and pilled, towels stained. Wiring was cobbled together. Mould in bath surround,and in ceiling corner Cobwebs across windows..freezing at night, boiling in day. Insufficient blankets. "Working fire" had no chimney???? Trapped extension lead under couch...safety hazard. Nice view from lounge window.

On the Water in Maine was very professional and easy to work with from booking the home to checking in and out. We hope to explore more of Maine and would use On The Water again.

We absolutely loved Renascence!! It was so inviting and comfortable for our family. The house is beautiful and well appointed so we felt right at home. I personally enjoyed having my morning coffee on the porch swing. The location was perfect located on a quiet street, but not too far from town we walked there most days.

We have worked with other agencies and have ALWAYS been disappointed. On the Water in Maine is an amazing company. The communication is always there. We even got weather alerts when there was an approaching thunder storm. Any question I had they were there to answer immediately. I wanted to send my wife flowers and they helped me line it up and she was so surprised when she walked in and saw them sitting on the counter waiting for her after a long drive from Massachusetts.

I cannot say enough about Waters Edge. The entire experience was first class. The location is perfect for families with children. The kids loved exploring the ocean for all the ocean creatures. We even saw harbor seals! The driveway is perfect size for the kids to ride their bikes. We were all able to have our own 'space', but be together at the same time and give the kids the independence they cherish. The sun porch was our nightly retreat after the kids went to bed. So relaxing! We can't wait till next year!

We stayed at the Captain's Cottage in Camden from July 9-16th. Very nice cottage that was clean and close to downtown. Love the large master bedroom and cozy, comfortable main floor. Cottage was clean and yard well taken care of. Even though we went at a very busy time, we did not have to wait for service at stores, for dining or at the harbor. Beautiful town, great food and people were extremely kind everywhere we went! Highly recommend this area!

I worked with Meg in selecting Nokomis. She is a delight, and was so helpful. The paperwork and communications throughout were spot on and timely. The check in and check out went flawlessly. You really have it all down pat!

We just loved our stay at Nokomis Cottage. It is the nicest rental property we have stayed in. Every convenience was at our finger tips. The kitchen is so well equipped, and we were so happy about having the lobster pot and crackers for our use. It didn't feel like we were in a vacation rental. It felt like we were in someone's well decorated, well appointed and loved home. Everything was so comfortable--the furnishings and beds, etc. We spent hours and hours on the deck, dining, relaxing and eating our meals. Loved the Adirondack chairs and the fire pit and enjoyed low tide walks on the beach. Now for my favorite thing: THE VIEW!!!! From every room and the private secluded lot! I felt it hard to concentrate on my book as I just wanted to look at the beautiful view. Love, love, love Nokomis--I cried when I left (I know, but it did bring tears to my eyes) We will go again. It was perfect!

On the Water in Maine Inc. is a professional company. They emailed often with all the detailed information we'd need to be able to settle into the property once there. They provided excellent directions, supermarket location, boating and water sports information, etc. They were always quick to answer any questions or needs.

This cottage is a dream. Its location is beyond beautiful. It has the ocean in the back, a brook on the right side of the property that empties out into the ocean, majestic trees all around, and lovely landscaping. It is decorated inside with an ocean theme and the furniture is very comfortable. We felt right at home. It has a large living room area with cathedral ceilings, perfect for the 7 of us. Nice kitchen. Beautifully decorated bedrooms. It has gorgeous outdoor seating areas. The wood deck is a great place to sit and enjoy the great outdoors. We loved to walk down the outdoors stairs that lead out to the rocks and sit on them to watch the smaller islands and the amazing view of the rocky coast. I can't say enough of this property. We could not ask for more. We fell in love with Sea Cliff Cottage.
