Guest Reviews

Comment from Guest - Your company was easy to work with. Comment from On the Water in Maine - This Guest gave our company a 2.5 star rating after her stay this past September. In her comments, she felt that we imposed too many rules and restrictions at the property. While all the over 8 weeks of rentals for 2015 are by repeat guests that stayed at the property in 2014, and none of them shared those feelings with us, and all still are coming back, we are reviewing the presentation of the property information to ensure that all our Guests feel welcome in the property and that too many requests are not made of them. Additionally, the Guest didn't think the property was cleaned to the standards that she should have seen. While the Guest never informed us when she was in residence that any cleaning issues existed, we won't disregard her comments and will ensure that we work harder to make the property clean and up to the standards that all our guests expect from us. Note the 2 Surveys by Guests in October, AFTER this Guest's stay below that are both 5-Star.

Comment from Guest - We stayed at Rockcroft cabin late September. The location of the cabin was great for the sight seeing and tourist activities. Comment from On the Water in Maine - We believe the 3-star rating on this property from the Guest had a lot to do with her comments that we address above, still, she thought some of the furniture was old and "shabby" and that some stains on the rugs needed to be addressed. We are reviewing and addressing all her concerns to ensure that this 5-star property continues to get 5-star scoring. Note the 2 Surveys by Guests in October, AFTER this Guest's stay below that are both 5-Star.

OTWIM was very responsive.

The setting is magical with open views of the water from almost every room. The house feels intimate yet offers plenty of room for two couples to retreat to their own space.

Top notch customer service.

This was a very enjoyable rental in which to spend two weeks on Maine's coast. The overwhelming asset is the view from all parts of the house. The house itself is very simple with the only comfortable relaxing space on the second level. The one bedroom is large with a comfortable king bed. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking meals. The downside is the one small bathroom. An upgrade to a larger TV would be welcome. Rockland is 15-20 min. by car, the closest place for adequate shopping. A really enchanting spot to which we would return.

This is our third rental through On the Water in Maine and find their services exemplary. Questions and concerns are addressed immediately and they offer clean well-appointed properties that have been beyond our expectations.

We needed a get-away but were concerned about vacationing the last week of October in Maine... well, we were delighted to find this little treasure, ideally located and thoughtfully appointed with every amenity we could possibly need. And the weather cooperated too! We couldn't be more pleased with Rockcroft and we will be back!

Ben, the person with whom we had contact, could not have been more helpful.

We loved most things about this property, especially the well-equipped kitchen (although a few more cups/mugs than 6 would have been handy) the comfortable furnishings and the view. The only disappointment was the lack of closet space in the second bedroom. A cupboard or a second set of drawers instead of a work desk would have been much more useful.

Very prompt and attentive.

The house was nicely renovated and very comfortable. The location could not have been better, close to many great restaurants and hikes.

Always very helpful during the reservation process...kept us well informed as the date of our stay got closer. Stopped by the office and met Justin on our last day. Look forward to staying (longer we hope) with On the Water in Maine in the future!!

Absolute "Home Run". Everything we expected and more. A perfect Mid-Coastal Maine experience. Location right on the water was great...with windows open at night going to sleep with the sound of the incoming or outgoing tides. Rising early to set in the backyard with a warm cup of coffee watching the sun rise between the massive pines at the waters edge. Kitchen equipped with everything needed to cook up the fresh "caught that day" 2# lobstas or to prepare fresh blueberry pancakes in the morning. Location is a not right in town but that gives that extra "away from the herd" feeling we like. Still close enough to be in Camden or Rockport in 5 minutes. Less than 2 hours drive from lots of destinations such as Arcadia National Park, Maine Botanical Gardens in Booth Bay or awesome Maine apple orchards in the interior. Liked the house being a single story...nice not having to go up & down stairs.

A very efficient simple process making the booking online with friendly helpful staff when the need arose to call by phone.

Stayed for 9 nights in September & could easily have stayed longer. This is a very comfortable cottage exactly as in the photos in a quiet residential area away from the main road. Sitting on the deck watching the boats to & fro to the harbour was a delight.

On the Water in Maine's website is simple to navigate. I have rented from this agency 4 or 5 times and have never had a problem.

Lovely, clean property. Bedrooms are very spacious and comfortable. Great house and an easy walk to town, restaurants, etc. Plus the board walk is just across the street.

Accommodating and very eager to find a property you'll be happy with.

Loved it - the view out the window, the space in the house - nice and clean and sparse. Loved location to Rockland and other places.

Your agency was very pleasant to work with and did not skip a beat. Very smooth. Thank you.

The property, Watch Point was absolutely beautiful, serene and very comfortable. The trails were wonderful to explore the acreage, the beach very nice. A very quiet piece of property. WE were very pleased.

Working with On the Water in Maine was incredible. Excellent communication, ease of check in/out. Thanks so much for allowing pets, our dogs our are family!

Our house was perfect for us (a couple), and would be well suited for a single family with maybe two children, but no more than that. We wished there was another bathroom, but understand that in these charming older homes, often there is only one. King bed was super comfortable with nice quality linens. The kitchen appeared to be well appointed, but we did not cook during our stay. Super nice hardwood floors, tastefully decorated. The wicker chair in the living room was very nice looking, but VERY uncomfortable while sitting in it for anything more than a half hour or so. New, more supportive cushions would be a nice consideration. The burlap drapes are a nice rustic touch, but some blinds or shades for privacy would be a great addition, especially on the front door. The heat and air conditioning worked perfectly as did all other appliances. Excellent property for the price!

We have dealt with On the Water Maine twice now, and recommend you to all our friends. We recommend renting Bar Island Cottage in particular, though we're a little worried about giving away our secret :-]

The cottage is perfect. It's right on the shore, the tides are amazing, the silence is healing, and the Milky Way is brilliant at night. It's very well-equipped, and despite being a little out of the way, we found everything we needed right nearby (including the Shop & Save and Dorr Lobster). We think it would be great if canoes or kayaks were included. We know they can be rented some distance away, and at extra expense & work, but it would be wonderful to have one or two in the garage, for use at renters own risk.

Justin was great and very helpful. I felt comfortable calling with any questions or concerns.

We had a fabulous time; the house was open and airy, just the right size for 2 couples. The view was beautiful....spent alot of time on the deck and down at the firepit at night. The beds were the most comfortable ones we've ever slept in at a rental property!

On The Water in Maine provided the confidence when choosing a property for vacation online. All our question were answered and check in and check out procedures were clear and precise. The rental manual was a great tool that added to the vacation being so successful.

Everything was so well thought out for guests. Beautifully appointed with a fabulous view. The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary items for great meals. High end features throughout made the stay feel luxurious.

Total class. Ben at On the Water in Maine is awesome when you check in, helpful. Our second rental with you and everything is easy, no surprises, no problems. We wouldn't think of trying any other agency if we are looking in Maine.

Beautiful house, very roomy, great private location, listen to the sounds of the sea in every room, watch the sunrise from you bed, see water birds swim by, a seal, see an eagle fly, and lobster fishermen checking on their pots. All this yet close to town and a stones throw away from Mt. Battie in a state park where you can hike to the top or drive there and see fantastic views.

On the Water in Maine could not have been easier to work with. We created a problem by locking ourselves out while tubbing on a Sunday, and they could not have handle it better or more efficiently.

Everyone hopes for a true Maine experience when booking lodging via the NET. This is it! If the number of beds meets your needs, DO NOT pass on this property. From the dramatic driveway, to the stone fireplace, to the modern well-stocked kitchen, to the huge windows and deck overlooking the sea 20 feet away, to the hot tub, to the heated bathroom floors....remarkable! Great value. Make a great decision and choose this property.

One word about On the Water in Maine: Wonderful

Amazing views, location is great, not in walking distance of towns, but short drive, very private and quiet, kitchen very functional and fully stocked with necessities, bathroom amenities very adequate. beds are comfortable, television and wifi access exceeded expectations. you can hear the ocean waves while sleeping at night...loved it.

On the Water... is the best agency I have EVER worked with.

Great water views. Very comfortable cottage.

Our experience in working with On the Water in Maine was very positive. They were always helpful and friendly. We knew that they were available should we need them (we rarely did) but they never bothered us. We felt like it was our own little paradise for two weeks. We would use them again! I thought their contract was very through and fair to both parties. The notebook provided with the house was clear and helpful. If I were lucky enough to have a place in Camden that I wanted to share with others, I would definitely work through On the Water With Maine.

Our stay at Camden Casa was most relaxing and enjoyable! What a memorable spot for a sisters' reunion and birthday celebration. The setting above the rocky beach could hardly be more beautiful, with windows all across the back of the house through which one could enjoy the view. The tides were constantly changing as were the colors of the water and sky. The sunlight sparkling on the water was beautiful... a great spot for photography! We also enjoyed the sounds of the waves, birds, and the bell out on the water. Very peaceful! Also had a nicely landscaped, well maintained yard. The house itself is well arranged, comfortable, and amazingly well stocked. We lacked for nothing when cooking there. Of course, there are many great restaurants nearby as well. Camden has a small but very high quality farmers' market, which we were happy to find open in September. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck whenever it was warm enough. (Never saw one mosquito!) All in all, I'd definitely recommend Camden Casa to a friend! Thank you for sharing with these water deprived Mid-Westerners!
