Guest Reviews

Our experience was very positive, check-in and check-out were very easy. When I had problems with the TV due to my mistake, the person working with me was very cordial and patient in helping me figure out how to get it to work again.

The house was very clean and nicely decorated, and is on an ideal location in the woods only yards from the most beautiful lake that you could imagine. We had a fantastic breeze coming through the many windows, and view from the living room/deck onto the lake was one of our favorite things. There was nothing like looking out on the lake in the morning while drinking a cup of coffee and hearing the wildlife. We were very fortunate that the weather was beautiful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our all too short week in the Maine mid-coast area and hope to be able to come back again next year.

courteous and polite when I called to discuss my misread of the property description; yet, they demonstrated little empathy. Maybe I expected too much.

Let me say first that the port clyde house was the singularly most beautiful piece of real estate we have stay at, with possibly the exception of the ocean front property we leased in Maui. The kitchen and all it provided added to the great stay. As a point of improvement, save my reading the house description better, was having shades on the bedrooms upstairs. We never slept past 6 a.m. as their was not shade to block the daylight. Additionally, it would be nice to have some additional creature comforts like extra pillows and blankets. Traveling by plane is not conducive to bring extras with us. We exclusively stay at rental properties and this is the first to not have extra pillows and bedding that demonstrate the the owners are concerned about little things to help with away from home sleeping.

Our experience working with "On the Water" was all positive. Communications were thorough and provided all the information we needed. People are always helpful and friendly if we call with questions. No complaints.

My parents stayed in the coast cottage and absolutely loved it. My father, who is elderly, was blissfully happy sitting on the deck and looking out over the ocean at islands, birds and lobster boats.

Could not have been a more seamless, professional, and overall positive experience.

Location, location, location. Owls Head is ideally situated to enjoy both the qualities of the waterfront its mesmerizing maritime activity and exquisite natural scenery and the convenience of proximity to Rockland, with its wonderful restaurants and museums.

Justin did a great job dealing with an issue with our original reservation. He turned what could have been a real problem into the best vacation we've had. Thank you.

Crocket's Beach Cottage combined the coziness of a cottage with all the comforts of a home. We had a great stay, and really enjoyed being able to walk right onto the beach.

Seamless!!!

Too many to list. Great views, the seclusion, the different areas to sleep and the property is amazing!

Very well handled from the beginning with no questions. Before we could think of things to ask here comes an email explaining it. Justin, the gentleman that did the check in was wonderful.

This home is amazing and very well decorated. The views from the house are like moving postcards. This has to be the best location ever. We could have sat on the porch the entire time.

excellent to work with

Quiet area. Grocery store, shops, gas station all very close to get to.

Everyone I dealt with was friendly, knowledgable and helpful. It was a pleasure to do business with On the Water.

The grounds are absolutely beautiful! We loved being able to walk down to our own private rocky beach. The grandchildren loved crawling on the rocks and searching for rocks, shells and seaglass. We couldn't ask for more! We even watched lobstermen pulling pots right off the beach.

They were very friendly, helpful, and easy to communicate with. I especially enjoyed Justin's activity recommendations.

The property was beautiful, clean, well equipped with necessities of living and cooking! Exactly what I expected based on property pictures and descriptions.

We found OWIM very responsive and helpful.

Maitri House was beautiful and spacious. It's location on Lake Megunticook was perfect.The house is especially well appointed.

Everyone with On the Water Maine is very friendly and helpful, knowledgeable of the properties and easy to get a hold of if needed.

The ocean views from this property are amazing. The property is perfect for a large family or two families.

Everyone's polite, efficient, professional.

Open floor plan on first floor is stunningly successful. Wonderful harbor views from living and dining room/kitchen. All MAYTAG stainless steel appliances...real quality. Location incredible! Right near new Harbourview Y fitness center and Rockland. Just blocks from Primo.

The staff at On the Water in Maine Inc. were quick to answer any questions. Everything is exactly as described. We couldn't have been happier with our stay and have already told friends about it.

The Captain's Cottage was in a perfect location. We had everything we needed for a wonderful week in Camden.

It is always easy to make a reservation. This year we had an issue with an incorrect key code but it was handled quickly and efficiently by staff.

The weather was perfect. The additional bathroom was a great addition. The sun room is my favorite room. We brought a screen house with us this year so we could escape the mosquitoes in the evening and stay outside to enjoy the ambiance.

Agency always. Helpful and very responsive. Any problems are dealt with immediately.

NIcely secluded property in the woods with lake access and dock. COttage is roomy and comfortable if a little dark inside. IT is well equipped with lovely deck BBQ and campfire. Close to Hope village centre and Camden.Agency

This was our first time renting with On The Water. The experience was extremely positive from point of reservation to check out! You totally fulfilled on your commitments. We look forward to renting wth you again!

Our family had a fabulous time at Lakeside Lily's! The view was exceptional and we thoroughly enjoyed our coffee each morning on the screened porch. Easy access to the water made our daily kayaking adventures most enjoyable! Accommodations were comfortable and the home was well equipped. A very warm and welcoming cottage like feel. This was the perfect location to spend lots of quality family time. We loved our stay!

No problems nor complaints.

Beautiful house! Furnishings and decor were perfect. Well stocked. Loved that everything felt so nice and the "extras"--felt like a house guest, not a vacation renter. Location is good, easy 5-10 min walk to town.

Not informative or guiding regarding property limitations - Note from On the Water in Maine: Guest admitted that she didn't read the property description well and assumed that a 1/2 bath (2nd floor) meant it included a shower.

The wrap around deck, the waterfront and the gorgeous landscape

If you have never worked with a rental agency, you might not fully appreciate the level of professional service you receive at On the Water in Maine. One bad experience with a rental agency can destroy much anticipated vacation plans. And, as I can personally attest, it happens more than you might imagine. You will always have peace of mind with OTWM. The properties are accurately depicted, they are always available to answer any questions you may have about a particular property, are present 24/7 to address any issues that might arise during your stay, and, as always, they are professional, patient and accommodating. As I've said before in other reviews, these people know what they're doing and I can't recommend them highly enough! Plus, everyone is so nice!!

We have rented this property three times since last July with another scheduled visit in August! That says it all! We were so happy the owners graciously shared their beautiful home for another season. The property, the house, the view and, my favorite, the dock, combine to make a wonderful vacation experience. We look forward to our August visit and, hopefully, many more in the future.

We have rented through many agencies and homeowners in Maine throughout the years. There is only one you can rely on 100% to make sure your vacation is perfect and that is On the Water in Maine!

If you like privacy, fishing and relaxing Lazy Days is the place for you!

All interactions with the agency and staff were very good. They responded quickly to my emails. Justin was very nice and made sure we were well taken care of and that all our needs were met.

We loved the style of the house. We liked the large kitchen table. We spent a lot of time around it eating and playing games as we enjoyed looking at the beautiful lake. There was a large screen TV in the living room which was a nice feature and the house was very clean.

I found everyone to be very pleasant and accommodating. The procedures for checking in and out were very simple and fast.

Our vacation was excellent! The cottage was just what I was looking for in a place to stay right on the water. Very well stocked and nicely decorated! Loved all the different seating areas outside and in. The screen porch furniture was very comfortable as were the beds. Loved how bright and "beachy" all the rooms were decorated.
