Guest Reviews

The agency was terrific. They were responsive to any calls and helpful with anything we needed.

This is truly a lovely home to vacation in. The blue dcor is inviting and restful. The view from the main living area and the upstairs bedroom are marvelous. Everything about the house is first-class and a wonderful place to come back to at the end of the day! Would vacation again and highly recommend it!

On the Water in Maine is top notch. We've worked with them twice now and appreciate all the attention to detail. We also appreciate that the properties they represent are always charming, something we can count on!

We loved everything about Our Song. Lermond Pond is a lovely small lake, quiet and peaceful, and the house is located on a quiet dead end road. The cottage itself is charming with so many thoughtful details throughout: comfortable beds, equipped kitchen, lovely furnishings, the list goes on. We had some rainy days and sunny days--classic Maine vacation weather--but it didn't bother us as we were able to enjoy the inside (and nearby towns) on rainy days and the lake on sunny days. We met most of the friendly neighbors while we were there, and look forward to coming back!

It was easy working with On the Water in Maine. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Bruce was great.

We loved our stay at Oak Point Cottage. We never saw an airplane, however we did see eagles, osprey, ducks, momma doe, brand new fawn, grandmother (gray) doe, fox, seals. We canoed, kayaked, hiked, bicycled and played bocce in the evening. The house is comfortable, beds comfortable. Everything we needed. The location was magnificent exactly what we were looking for. We usually do many activities along the Bold Coast but is was really hard to leave the cottage property. I would recommend this rental to anyone wanting to get away from everything.

On the Water in Maine was very complete from start to finish. We knew what was next and all done electronically.

This location was amazing. Just a few feet from the water and very quiet and peaceful. In a 30 minute period of time we saw osprey, loons feeding, and of course seagulls. Having morning coffee out in the Adirondack chairs with the sun coming up was wonderful. The location was easy and quick to get out to Rt. 1.

The best. That was our 4th dealing with "On The Water In Maine" and we found the Agency to be very professional and helpful in every way. Wish we lived closer to make more frequent trips to Maine - and enjoy another stay on the ocean, via this Agency.

A very lovely property and grounds for adults (not small children). Lots of elegant privacy and quietness, beautiful views - especially from the ocean-facing windows and the deck, spectacular sun-rises, many eagles and deer to admire, very well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and an easy and quick access to Rockland.

On the Water in Maine was extremely easy to work with and very professional. We would definitely rent with them again!

We spent a beautiful week at Marylea cottage. The harbor views are picturesque and tranquil. The kitchen was well appointed and the living areas were welcoming and comfortable. The deck and screened porch were great for Al fresco dining! The gardens and landscaping was lovely. This grand home is centrally located for easy day trips for sightseeing to Camden, Rockland, Owl's head, Lincolnville, Marshall Point light house and other sites. Many fabulous restaurants are within a 10 minute drive. We loved all of the family portraits and memorabilia in the cottage, evidence that this special home has been loved by generations.

On the Water in Maine was very responsive and kind. No issue was too small.

The kitchen was amazing and I found everything I needed to cook delicious meals. The decor of the entire home was beautiful and nicely coordinated, not a hodge podge of leftover pieces. We have visited. Mid-Coast Maine five times and this was the nicest most well appointed home we stayed in.

Great to work with On the Water --very responsive and helpful

Great stay--view into the harbor is magic and big open living area Loved this house

Very helpful staff, always available for inquiries.

Beautiful house, very spacious and nicely renovated, wonderful setting. Very quiet and peaceful.

Having rented villas, chalets, cottages and yachts in the US, UK, mainland Europe and the Middle East, we can comfortably say that On The Water in Maine is one of the most professionally run agencies we have used in our travels. We previously used other companies for Maine rentals and, based on our positive experience with On the Water in Maine, we'll never look back!

The Rough House is a charming, up-to-date, beautifully presented Maine cottage that is furnished with unique antiques. We felt privileged to stay there with our young family. The serenity of the environment is noteworthy. It is located on a private road and the surrounding area is excellent for peaceful walks and running. We regularly visited the quiet beach for beach combing, swimming and relaxing. Rockport center, Rockland and Camden are all very close. We look forward to visiting the Rough House next year!

The Agency was very helpful and answered all our questions.

Had a great time! The house was perfect for a family of 4. Loved the day bed in the porch - my younger son slept on it. The kitchen was very well equipped. I think we were the first to use some of the equipment/utensils so it was in good shape. I know not everyone makes use of the full kitchen in a rental but we sure did. Obviously the owners like to cook too. The location was perfect - so close to town yet quiet at night.

The folks at On the Water in Maine were very professional. Answered all our questions in a timely manner. They were great. Plan on renting from them next year. I have already started to look for places for 2016.

We had our 2 grandchildren with us so the fenced in yard was especially appreciated. The beachcomber was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the sun porch, very relaxing. My grandson loved bose radio, dance party on the deck.Great place

The staff of On the Water in Maine were very accommodating and quick to respond to questions. I needed to have an adjustment made for a family member's disability, and the staff were very kind, and obtained a piece of equipment to make the stay easier. This took the worry out of the equation for us.

We really enjoyed sitting on the porch, the view of the harbor was excellent, watching the boats and ferries come and go, and the bonus of having a bald eagle visit the property several times, was awesome! I'd say we spent most of our time on the porch. We had our whole family here, 3 generations, and it worked well for everyone. The grounds are just beautiful and with a large lawn to play wiffle ball and football. The sunsets were stunning. The kitchen was so easy to work in, and well appointed, plenty of room for everyone to work. I recommend The Dip Net in town for a casual and delicious meal, the ice cream shop was delish, coffee at The Ink Squid was great, and then you can't beat the breakfast sandwich at the General Store. The kids rented kayaks from the shop in town and had a great experience. Thank you for some great memories, I plan on coming back!

This is our second year working with On the Water and we are very pleased with all of our encounters.

Great Surprise. This is a newly renovated cottage. Ideal for a couple or small family. CLEAN, CLEAN with full amenities. Our view of the lake was complete. Looks like a fisherman's paradise as the osprey and eagle were regular visitors. Ducklings, birdlife and chipmunks rounded out the wildlife. Very private from neighbors. Although a little "weedy" for swimming (water and air temp still a little cool) it is close to the Village swimming hole which looked like fun. Easy access to US RT 1 and Damariscotta Village with good shopping.

The agency was helpful and very professional. Instructions were provided that answered any questions that we had. Great experience all around.

The property is beautifully situated overlooking the harbor. The views from the house are wonderful. The house is charming and very comfortable and spacious. The property had a great deck and outside eating area. Kraal so has a sundeck and water access to dock a boat. Great location near town and near restaurants.

We had a very positive experience working with On the Water in Maine, and I will certainly rent with them again. They were prompt and responsive, but we really didn't have any problems that required additional assistance. The property was exactly what we desired, and we were happy for all the amenities provided! Thanks for making our dream Maine vacation a reality!

The Sunset Cottage is appropriately named. Imagine yourself amid the most picturesque, peaceful waterfront scene from a well-appointed, light filled, spacious and thoughtfully furnished home, then imagine the most brilliant and dynamic sunset you've ever witnessed, and you will understand the joy that we felt every day and night that we stayed at the cottage. The area is fun-filled, beautiful, ready for summer pastimes. The town of Bath has everything a vacationer might need. Other scenic and personable towns such as Boothbay Harbor and Rockland are only 40-65 minute drives of green and rolling hills, farm stands, and consignment shops for treasures. Delicious food abounds. The house is clean, well-tended, with lovely boaty beachy artwork and traditional decor. We had plenty of room for our group of 8, with two young children. The grounds were delightful and exciting to explore, especially for my boys! The trees and glimmering rock boulders are covered in lichen, fireflies flirt in the night air, and fishing boats drop traps and buoys in the nearby waters in the earliest hours of the day. With a dock and rocky tidal beach on the property, we were able to rent sea kayaks and explored the waters around us. I hesitate to describe all the great things about this rental property, it is like a secret gem I may want to keep to myself!

Everything went very smooth in arranging for this vacation through On the Water in Maine. There were no bumps in the road.

WOW is the word that comes to mind when describing the setting of this property. When you rent something online, it is always a gamble. With this one we hit the jackpot on setting!

All around just great - great place - great cottage

Oh my gosh!! What a fantastic cottage. The view is stunning and it's very peaceful. Extremely comfy cottage with great bed and kitchen. All shopping is in close proximity as well as great coastal towns to visit. Fabulous beach and wonderful deck that makes it feel like your own private home. We will be back for sure and highly recommend this property.

On the Water was very professional and responsive.

It was a terrific place! The view was amazing. It's like you are on a boat. House is very well appointed and comfortable. Highly recommend it!!!

On the Water in Maine Inc. was great. Everything from the initial house descriptions on their website to addressing questions during our stay was top notch. Ben was very accessible; he even answered his phone on a Sunday when he was out fishing! I would recommend them to anyone.

The house was exactly as pictured and loved the short walk through the woods to the rocky beach. Couldn't have asked for a better place to vacation!

We have rented with On the Water for the past 3 years. We appreciate their excellent service and we love the minimum requirements! If you rent with On the Water, you will have a worry free vacation!

Our Song is a really nice property on Lermond Pond. The lake is small and pretty quiet in June. It is a great lake for canoeing and fishing.
