Guest Reviews

On the Water in Maine were very quick with responses. The contract was very clear with bold lettering on the important items. When we phoned to say we had arrived it was stressed to call the office with ANY problems. The phone call was personal in regards that Justin said the weather looked good for the week, it felt like we were staying at a friends house.

Open floor plan with an amazing view of the bay. The huge deck was incredible. The rental was immaculate and stocked with everything we needed. The grounds were very well maintained. The rental was at the end of a very quiet street but just up the main road were many restaurants and shops. We appreciated the brochures that were collected for us. There were so many "little touches" like little reading lights in each bedroom.

The team at On the Water in Maine are extremely friendly, efficient, helpful and hands on.

My wife and I spent two very happy weeks in Sea Cliff Cottage last month. We thought that the edge-of-the-ocean location was stunning, and we never tired of the views over Penobscot Bay from the deck and the terrace. We also very much liked the internal dcor of the property, and its furnishings. The situation is also ideal for both Camden and Rockland.

The Staff at On the Water in Maine are wonderful, making sure that we have everything we need. They answered any questions we had and made the check in/check out process very easy. I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a Maine getaway.

The cottage was very cozy and the setting was beautiful which is why we booked this particular cottage again.

On the Water in Maine was a well organized, detail oriented company. Professional in every way, and they provided plenty of information about the rental, the policies, and general instructions. Arranging for the rental was a seamless process.

The house met our needs perfectly for a 2 week stay in Camden. We were especially pleased with the large, bright master bedroom. All furniture was comfortable; plenty of lamps for good lighting; good, comfortable beds and very nice bedding. The location is good and within a short walking distance to the harbor. The cottage has a "cottage look" and dcor inside---very attractive.

I loved working with On the Water in Maine. From the moment I started looking for a rental to the very last day, you were so helpful and professional. Thank you for making our experience enjoyable!

We loved the house and it fit our needs! The only thing we really wished it had was a pantry or a cabinet to store our food. Counter space was limited, so storing our food on top of the counter was difficult. Loved having a bathroom in every bedroom!

The rental process was clear and easy, and the staff were efficient and helpful. We appreciated being informed that an early check-in was possible.

This was a lovely house: incredibly clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was well equipped, and the furniture was very comfortable. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the water and the privacy and quiet of the setting. The only thing that would make it better for us would be if there were a king-sized bed. Still, even without this, we would happily return.

As I noted the first time I reviewed the agency, this is a great rental agency! I would not hesitate to recommend them. Consummate professionals. You will not be disappointed with your experience with this group.

This was our second stay at Atlantic Sunrise this season. It's a lovely property with great amenities and we enjoyed this stay even more than the first. Weather was perfect and I got a kick out of the wild turkeys that strolled through once a day!

easy to work with, accomodating, very nice

very nice house - well built and maintained and view was great - far enough from town for privacy yet close enough for good shopping and restaurants

A bit complicated, but for understandable reasons. Worked well!!

Wonderful location. Peaceful and unhurried. Highly recommended

Very accommodating, very knowledgeable, very pleasant.

The view of the bay is magnificent. What a pleasure to watch the tides, the weather patterns, the boats. The lawn is perfectly manicured, and we loved just playing in the yard with the kids.

Perfect.

North Cottage is charming and cozy ! It is beautifully and comfortably appointed.... Lots of light and lovely views . All guest needs are anticipated ...LOTS of wonderful amenities enhanced the stay. Definitely 5 star !

I was not in charge of booking so can not comment here...but heard it was great.

North Cottage is just what you would wish for in a rental in Maine. Cottage look with gray shingles. The interior is very comfortable with everything you need in the way of kitchen and bedrooms. It has three bedrooms and three full baths. The room I was in on the second floor was the smallest and still had plenty of room and a great view of the water. All the rooms are furnished with top of the line and comfortable chairs and sofas. We used the fireplace on cool nights and the deck was great for outdoor grilling or just watching the stars. It was very quiet and peaceful setting. Port Clyde is very close. We went to the Port Clyde general store for breakfast and had coffee at a sweet coffee shop next to it that had a nice deck with tables overlooking the harbor. I also took the ferry from Port Clyde to Monehegan Island. Highly recommend that too. The Cottage is convenient to Camden for restaurants and shopping. Hope to visit again next summer.

As always,the few problems we had, were quickly addressed.

This cottage is or favorite. We love the upgrades and were so happy to enjoy the wonderful beds, well equipped kitchen and the perfect spot to totally unwind and share with our family and friends.

Always a pleasure.

The Blue Heron Cottage is exceptionally well maintained and up-to-date. The cottage has a most pleasing wide deck in the treetops that affords a lovely view across the water to the west.

On the Water in Maine is an extremely professional organization. They made our rental experience so easy with website information, prompt answers to questions, suggestions, payment facilitation and reminders. They left helpful brochures and maps at the house. The staff was available for assistance at any time. They even went out their way to help us send a fax for an emergency situation that arose during our stay. We send a special thanks to Justin, Meg and to the young man who helped with our fax.

This home is not only beautiful but comfortable too. Three different sleeping areas afford privacy for guests, while family room, dining room and decks provide areas to accommodate entire families. The views of the water are incredible! The homeowners have provided very comfortable seating arrangements on two different decks in order to take advantage of the extraordinary scenery. The lot also contains a picturesque stream. Furnishings inside the house are attractive and inviting.

Every encounter over the many months from rental to arrival with On the Water in Maine was pleasant. The response time was almost automatic and helpful. Justin, the owner, even came out Sunday am after we got there with a homemade remedy to a problem! Professional, friendly and helpful!

From the moment you pull in the drive and see the Bay through the windows you feel the stress of the world leave your body. This home is wonderful. From the views from the living area, the infinity hot tub, the heated bathroom floors and the magical feel of the sitting window in the master, one may never want to leave. The home is well appointed in every way. The beds are wonderful! listening to the waves every night when we went to sleep and waking up to the sunrise every morning right outside the window....ahhhhhhhh. We LOVED this home!

Guest Comment: My only disappointment was after notifying management of a power outage and being assured we would have power when we returned later that day, it took yet another call 6 hrs later before any action was taken. In the end the issue was resolved thankfully. On the Water in Maine comment: We checked online to see if there were any power outages in the area, and there was. We checked again online 1 hour later, and power was back on in the area. Unfortunately, the power was out at Harbor Light due to account issue where the Owner moved from Washington State to Texas and his bills hadn't caught up with him. So, coincidentally, the power was shut off at the same time as an outage in the area. As the Guest noted, we did get it resolved within an hour of the Guest returning for the day.

We had a wonderful stay at Harbor Light. The cottage itself was beautiful, well appointed and made our stay relaxing. We were out hiking and exploring most of the time but we looked forward to returning to the charming cottage to sip wine on the deck and watch the boats out in the harbor. My favorite feature was the privacy and view of the harbor. My husbands favorite feature was the heating system.

The reservation process was a breeze, and all our questions were answered promptly. We received an email reminder regarding our balance due, so there were no surprise charges to our credit card. As promised, On the Water in Maine, Inc. sent us an email a couple of weeks prior to our stay with specific driving directions and with websites for us to research things to do during our stay.

The front porch deck was the best. It was amazing to simply sit in the rocker and watch the water or have a peaceful dinner outside at the table. Make sure you bring your binoculars. Right from the deck, we saw beautiful sailboats, as well as a seal in the water . . . and an eagle flew by the deck two nights in a row! The Harmony Cottage was very, very well stocked. We have rented homes previously via Airbnb and FlipKey and brought many things from home with us (utensils, knives, mugs, etc.) because things were inevitably missing from the homes. However, the Harmony Cottage provided much more than we could have ever needed or wanted. Many thanks to the gracious owners who shared their home with us.

I had a better experience speaking with an agent at OTWM than using the website. Especially when vacationing with small children and babies it was hard to find the right accommodations, but after speaking with Meg we found the right place for the right budget.

We liked the house and worked great for 3 couples with kids. The view of the lake was very lovely and convenient to the house. Easy drive into Camden and other locations.

Comunication was prompt.

A great home A great vacation.

OTW in ME staff so pleasant and quick to respond to our every need. We can't wait to come back.

Fabulous 5 day stay in September for 4 Military Veteran couples from TX, IN, CT, and ME. So comfortable, and private yet close to everything. Beautiful grounds and views of ocean sunsets and sunrises.
