Guest Reviews

Working with your agency was consistently professional and personable. Ben in particular couldn't have been more helpful and that really made a huge difference to my/our whole experience.

Great cottage - excellently located, peaceful, beautiful gardens. Best features were the comfortable beds - very important when away from home! A well thought out property,

Your agency is very friendly and accommodating - the whole process was very easy.

Beautiful house, beautiful property with great views! House was very comfortable and the location was perfect - private yet close to shopping and towns.

each question was answered promptly and if they were unable to meet my need, they provided information as to resources in the area (I was looking to rent a paddle board and they didn't have any available but provided the number of someone else I could call)

the home was beautiful and comfortable. the property was peaceful and private.

On the Water in Maine is a breeze to work with...extremely organized and thorough, making it super easy and efficient...

North Cottage is a great house...it's obviously recently renovated with a great layout and beautiful views...the location and water views are truly awesome and kayaking and paddle boarding on Muscongus Bay was super pretty and fun...

Very organized and very responsive.

The location is fantastic and the house is perfectly set up to take advantage of the views.

On the Water handles things very efficiently and was a pleasure to work with.

Loon Landing is right on the water, the perfect place for a morning coffee on the deck and an kayak trip to visit with the loons and watch the sun rise or fall. The house is furnished and decorated with great care, and having a separate cabin for visitors or just doing the laundry is wonderful. We couldn't have been more pleased with our choice and hope to return again and again. The tranquility was truly amazing.

We have rented for the past 3 years in Camden. This is the most professional outfit we have experienced. Very organized and reliable. Impressive use of technology for renting and communicating.

On the Water in Maine was helpful and responsive when an issue came up with an appliance at our rental.

We loved the house and look forward to booking the house again. It is in a great location; right on the harbour with some water views. The porch is huge; we enjoyed sitting out and enjoyed many meals there. Very central location in Port Clyde, which we found charming.

On the Water in Maine provided a high end and well thought threw rental experience. We knew what to expect from day one and felt we could call or email anytime with questions. The guest book with check in and check out procedures had all kinds of useful information, we loved the tips on what to do - a week itinerary from the owners. I would highly recommend them to friends and family.

We loved the ever changing panoramic view from Seafarer's cozy living room and front deck. The kitchen was really well stocked with quality cook ware so it was easy to prepare meals and enjoy the grounding vibe of the country side. The gardens are an inviting way to enter the property. Lots of windows also made for great airflow so the cottage never felt stuffy or hot. It was a little slice of Heaven on Earth.

Except for one early phone call, all was transacted by email. That all worked well. Informational, timely updates. Easy to share info with our other guests.

"On the Rocks" is spectacular, including the fabulous views from large windows in almost every room and very comfortable sleeping accommodations, four of rooms having their own doors and deck access. The quiet wooded location was perfect, and close to town so quite convenient. The home's architecture, history, and family lore provided lots of interest value for all five of us. The very basic kitchen and baths need some updating, but the rest more than made up for it. Not for those who can't handle sets of three stair steps.

All of the staff was helpful and informative. We loved the details of what the staff would do with a day in the area -- great tips!

We loved the property. It was close to town (Camden), yet remote enough for us to feel like we had privacy. The common area was open and spacious. We loved the outdoor fire pit.

Appreciated the detailed instructions and emails in advance. Checking in and out was easy.

We loved the water views and watching amazing tidal changes in the river. Music from restaurant across the way was a nice plus. Home had great summer cottage ambience and comfortable beds. Only drawback was that every door and window was extremely hard to open and close, probably due to summer humidity.

This is our fourth rental through OTWIM. We think that is perhaps the strongest recommendation. Would we have come back for more punishment so often if we were not totally satisfied.

This is a charming house dating back to 1888. It was big enough to accommodate our family of nine and in addition would have been able to give a berth to our grandson and his girlfriend if they had been able to come. The pool is nice and the dining room table seated our entire group. We had a good time.

On the Water in Maine is the most customer oriented firm we have ever worked with. They take excellent care of their properties, provide detailed information to tenants and are always available should you have questions or concerns. They make the rental experience easy and enjoyable from start to finish.

Juniper Bank sits high above Owls Head Harbor. It provides beautiful views of Penobscot Bay and the sailboats and lobster boats that pass by. The house is spacious and comfortable and is equipped with all the modern features of a year-round home. It is within easy reach of Rockland and the many things mid-coast Maine has to offer. We love making Juniper Bank our home for a month every summer.

We don't consider "On the Water in Maine" just an "agency". They are a very caring family and do their utmost to see that your stay is perfect. They cover all the bases and are there 24/7 for any needs you may have.

We've stayed in the same home for six years now and it consider it our second home, not just a rental. Since we live in Florida we enjoy every single day there, rain fog or sun and being centrally located in Camden we can take advantage of the so many wonderful opportunities to enjoy either hiking, shopping, boating, swimming, visiting the many parks and lighthouses, or simply relaxing on the deck at home and of course eating lobster! How we found this home is a funny story. Six (or seven) years ago we wanted to get away from Florida summer heat. We wanted a house on the water and first searched in VRBO and found a home in Booth Bay but when we had difficulty communicating with the owner, my husband felt it would be better to deal with an agency whose sole job it was to take care of renting properties and being there for the renters, that was and is very important. So we searched again for a house, on the water, in Maine, and your agency's name popped up! We found the perfect home, the perfect family, caring "agency" to deal with, and have been coming back ever since!

Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. Each phone conversation left me feeling happy.

Despite the bad weather, we had a wonderful time at this property. We were traveling with two small children (ages 5 and 2) and the house worked out really well. The single story was perfect (no stairs to worry about!), great bedrooms and the owners had everything thoughtfully laid out in the house (extra hooks for coats and bags in the sunroom, as well as for towels and robes in the bathroom). The views were amazing and our favorite times were spent around the dining room table. Our daughter also has severe food allergies and we rely on cooking at our vacation property and we were able to find everything that we needed (and then some!) at this home. We are grateful to the owners for providing so much of their personal property for us to use while we were there (children's books, toys, beach items, etc.). It was a joy to share your small piece of wonderment on the Maine coast.

The agency was very professional, organized, and easy to contact for questions.

We just loved staying at the Midocy Camp....very clean, well kept, and comfortable. The beach area and dock made swimming and boating so fun and easy. The kitchen was modern and big enough to easily cook and feed our family. The outside deck was wonderful....shady during the hottest part of the day and sunny later when the air had cooled.

The agency is great to work with they think of everything. The directions are detailed and easy to follow.

The view from the house was great. The house is well apointed.

ON THE WATER PROPERTY RENTALS MADE THE RESERVATION PROCESS VERY EASY. INSTRUCTONS FOR EVERY THING IN THE HOUSE WERE COMPLETE.

OUR STAY AT PIPER COVE COTTAGE WAS PERFECT. THE HOUSE WAS CLEAN AND ALL THAT WE NEEDED WAS AVAILABLE. THE LOONS ON THE LAKE AND PERFECT FISHING MADE FOR A GREAT WEEK.

On The Water in Maine provides the best rental experience we've had in Maine. And we've been visiting for many years. We know what to expect, and we can just slip so easily into relaxation mode once we arrive.

We loved our stay at Blue Heron Cottage! Most of the time we were on the deck enjoying the wonderful view of the water, boats, and different birds. We loved the open layout of the interior and especially the view from the big windows. The window in the master bedroom was something we've never seen before but we adapted quickly to how to open and close it. When open it allowed a nice cross-breeze with the kitchen sink window, especially when the breezes came through the spruce trees with that nice scent.
