Guest Reviews

Working with Justin and Tiffany an their staff is a real pleasure. Communicating with the company is an easy, seamless, and comfortable experience. All of us felt that we were welcome and valued guests.

Our stay at Nokomis Cottage for the last two weeks was absolutely wonderful and exceeded my expectations. My grown children loved the experience. Our favorite features were the beach, the rock-surrounded (and safe!)campfire site where by day we enjoyed sitting and reading and watching the water activity from the Adirondack chairs. During camp-fire lit evenings (or without the fire in the dark to enjoy moonrises and the stars) each and every night was a magical experience.

Dan was always available with a text or call and helped us on a few occasions. He also provided some extra tips and phone numbers for items we needed. Very helpful and knowledgeable.

A very relaxing, laid back, magical island. Dan helped us with everything and then some. It surpassed the photos and we wished we had a couple more days just to enjoy the island itself. We even got a visit from the local fisherman Jerry who dropped off some wonderful, tasty lobsters.

We have rented several different cottages from On the Water in Maine and have had a truly excellent experience with them. They think of every detail. We will certainly rent from them again.

Crows Nest is a delightful cottage with a lovely view from the porch! We enjoyed every moment of our stay. It could not have been better!

On the Water Maine was incredibly easy to work with. Very organized and detailed. I loved that all the information we needed was available in advance.

We loved Marylea Cottage. Our most favorite thing was the screened in porch and deck where we spent much of our time. The quiet relaxing view of Rockport Harbor was incredible.

We had an issue with the TV which you resolved in short order working with "On the Water in Maine" was a very plesant experience and will use you again.

We loved everything about Schooner View. The location, the view, ease of walking into town, the whole experience was fantastic.

Amazing thorough. Especially appreciated the notice about traffic tie ups on Route on our way home.

We loved our week at Griffin Cottage. It is a beautiful spot on Southport Island, with a view over all of Boothbay harbor, and right on the water. The house is charming and for the most part very comfortable and well appointed. We did find the second bedroom rather uncomfortable-mattress could be improved but the big problem the person who used it said was no place to put a suitcase or clothing. The master bedroom was lovely! The room with twin beds would only have been adequate for children. The TV instructions were inadequate. We had great difficult figuring it out.

Email communication was smooth.

We love the location! The cottage met our expectations, though we are familiar with Bayside houses. You might want to be more explicit that the stairs are extremely steep and not to code and thus the property may be challenging for very young kids or older folks.

All of the communication was fast, helpful, and very friendly.

We loved the beautiful view; the quintessential historical Maine farm house; and the quite, cool nights.

Working with "One the Water in Maine" was effortless. Website was very easy to work through and the staff was very helpful and friendly when speaking with them on the phone. The reservation, contract, and payment was seamless. The electronic combination lock at the property made things very easy.

Absolutely love the privacy of the Bar Island Cottage. The cottage had everything we could want regarding kitchen items. Bathroom was perfectly sufficient, although a hair dryer would have been nice. Had great fun watching the tide roll in and out. The views of the water and of the night sky were outstanding! Cottage was quintessential Maine! The minute we arrived, we knew we were at the right spot, and talked about coming back.

Your agency is absolutely top-notch. I always feel like the person answering the phone remembers me and would rather do nothing else than meet our family's needs. What a perfect combination of professionalism and warmth. Everyone I've ever spoken with at On the Water in Maine has been 100 per cent competent.

Where do I begin? We thought Blueberry Hill was always our favorite house, but now it's unanimous: Rosemoor is perfect in every way! Such a well-stocked kitchen, such a gorgeous view, such cozy rooms , perfect access to one of the most beautiful rocky ledges. We always love walking to the river where the kids can explore and - at low tide- learn to paddle board.Whenever we happen to run into someone on the property, they are always friendly and make us feel like we're part of the family.

The website is easy to use and provides abundant information. The booking process is clear and efficient. Questions I had were pleasantly answered through email. The agency goes out of the way to assure that renters have plenty of information and that they know assistance is at the ready if needed.

Never have I stayed at a property where every possible need was better anticipated. Lincoln Lookout is comfortable and relaxed rather than luxurious and posh, but it is equipped with every necessity, including the kitchen. Furthermore, it's situated on lovely grounds with the exact right mix of landscaping and naturalization--plus an unsurpassable water view. There is nothing more my party and I could have asked for. (No, the absence of a dishwasher was not a problem.)

On the Water in Maine is 1st class

Location, location, location!! Great front porch and view

This was our 4th time renting from OTW and we can only say good things-- very responsive, helpful and pleasant to deal with. Maybe you need a frequent renter card for people like us!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Belfast Harbor house. Favorite features included the amazing views of the harbor, great open layout of the house, access to the water.

Have nothing but praise for our dealings with OTWIM. Professional responses and liked the 'nothing is too much trouble' approach. Delivery of mail the first day was much appreciated.

A beautifully presented property in a wonderful location right in the heart of Camden. The perfect property for a young family, the veranda was a great feature.

I had a pleasant experience working with the On the Water in Maine agency.

We liked that it was an easy walk into town and the wonderful wrap around porch.

During the course of my initial call and through the check out process, I dealt with five staff members. Each person was exceptionally friendly, courteous and accommodating offering insightful information to help me in making my final decision. I spoke highly of your agency to various people I met throughout my stay.

Deep Cove Cottages offered us the seclusion we were seeking while still allowing us to enjoy the closeness and activity of Port Clyde and Rockland. We just loved the area.

On the Water provided excellent support and updates through the rental process. They made the stay very easy. One of the best management companies I've ever encountered. Well done!

We had such a wonderful stay at Weskeag Point. The house was a perfect size for our group and the layout meant we could all hang out together or have separate spaces when needed. The jungle gym out back was a big hit with the kids. The house was clean and very well appointed. Beautifully decorated with all of the amenities we required. Easy access to town, but in a quiet neighbourhood with lovely views over the river. We will definitely be back!

On the Water in Maine is excellent to deal with. They have a high standard, everything is done in the most convenient way and any questions or concerns are always answered very promptly. I would have absolutely no hesitation renting any property from this agency.

This was my second year renting the Harden Ave. cottage and it was just as nice as last year. My girlfriend and I had a fabulous week at the cottage and nothing but positive things to say. We will definitely return.

The staff at On the Water make the rental process so easy. They really try to ensure that you have the best vacation experience possible. We couldn't be happier with the service that we've received over the years.

This was our fourth stay at Little Pines cottage. The best feature about the cottage is the location. The cottage sits right on the water with spectacular view of the mountains. The lake is perfect for swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. When not on the water, most of our time is spent on the front porch where we can enjoy the view while dining.

On the Water Maine was great to work with!

We all loved Primrose Cottage. The house was wonderful...such a treat! The kitchen was a pleasure to cook fabulous meals in, the dining room was big enough to accomodate all of us comfortably and w such charm, the living room again was big and comfortable and the view!!! The beds were as comfortable as our own...everyone slept so well there! It was great to sit around the fire pit overlooking water and visit together late into the evening and we had a blast playing croquet on the intentionally obstacle ridden course that my sons set up in the yard.

We have worked with On the Water in Maine Inc. for a number of years now, and we couldn't imagine working with anyone else. Every step in the process is clearly and concisely communicated with you. The website is excellent, and everyone on the staff is knowledgeable, helpful and professional.

We loved the open floor plan downstairs and the view - the beautiful open view of the Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse, sailboats and water.
