Guest Reviews

Working with On the Water in Maine Inc. is easy and enjoyable - no hassels.

We loved the porches and large kitchen at Harmony cottage.

My experience with On the Water in Maine was very positive. From the moment I made the online reservation, the agency was very communicative. The rental transaction went quickly and smoothly, again with good communication from On the Water in Maine. We were provided clear information on the property location, directions for accessing the cottage, and information about the area. We called the agency to report a minor issue (that turned out to be a non-issue), and they were quickly responsive. Staff were also very helpful when a family member was attempting to call us at the cottage. We were extremely pleased with our interactions with On the Water in Maine.

The Ducktrap Cottage was a perfect spot to spend our week in Maine. It was in a quiet location just a short walk to the water and was convenient to locations that we wanted to visit. The cottage was very comfortable. One of my favorite features was the sun room, a great bright spot to read. I was delighted to find a pitcher of fresh-cut flowers in the sun room when we arrived, a thoughtful touch. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed, the bed was comfortable, and it was convenient having access to Wi-Fi. We also challenged each other at the horseshoe pit in the back yard! When you rent a cottage online, you are never exactly sure what it will be like. We were very happy with the Ducktrap Cottage.

Property was as represented and administrative matters went flawlessly. Truly a first class experience. Great value for money.

Location was perfect. House and furnishings exceeded expectations. Service from managers timely and efficient. Could not have asked for nothing more.

The staff at On the Water in Maine were very professional and helful... the entire process was easy and stress free.

The cottage was just wonderful so quaint. The two seperate bedrooms was nice as we shared the facility with our friends from Colorado and it gave us each our privacy at bedtime. The ocean views were beautiful and the night sky and stars were just breathtaking.

Our experience with On the Water in Maine was entirely positive. On the one occasion when help was needed, Justin was there and solved our problem within minutes.

The contemporary interior was fresh, attractive, spacious, and tastefully done. The harbor view from the living/dining area and from the balcony were especially attractive features.

Easy check-in and -out by phone. Clear pre-instructions via email made it easy to find the cottage and get in.

Nice cottage in a quiet and peaceful location with beautiful views. The cottage has everything you need for a perfect stay.

Everything about dealing with the owners/managers was a pleasant experience. They are very organized, helpful and professional.

We loved our stay at Ducktrap Cottage. The location in mid-coast Maine is perfect for explorations both north and south and the house itself is on a lovely property just a few yards from the water on a very quiet little road. The sun room is a treasure.

Booking on-line was easy and the agency was very clear & direct about what we would find on arrival...and what was expected of us as guests. No surprises.

Sept.24, 14 My husband & I and our friends all agreed that this pair of cottages was THE perfect spot for us to stay in mid coast Maine. They were private, near the ocean, beautifully appointed and comfortable. The houses were delightful and eagles & ospreys constantly entertained us while we were sitting on the rocks beside the water. Only suggestion is to add a guest book... so people can share their experiences & preferences with future guests. Will definitely be back!

They are very accommodate.

This place is so wonderful. Visited for a week in September with group of 14 and it was absolutely perfect for our needs. Being right on the lake was most enjoyable.

OTWIM COMMENTS TO THIS SURVEY (below) 3/20/15 - The garage on the property has been rebuilt over the winter of 2014/15 and is no longer an "eyesore" on the property. All toilets have been replaced. The lock has been changed out to a modern electronic lock. More lighting has been added. GUEST COMMENTS FROM 9/24/14 - Garage collapsing in on property was an abomination and an embarrassment ! The plumbing (toilets) was constant problem. The faulty key was a constant harassment . Lights in two of three bedrooms were inadequate. Lights in living room were corrected when we complained. On the positive side, the house was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. With a few adjustments (removing the falling in garage) this would be a great rental.

First time, great experience

Great home very enjoyable. Looking forward to returning

The OTWIM staff was helpful and accommodating and was a source of good advice from the early planning stages through actual occupancy.

The location is wonderful. Just a few minutes from downtown Camden, it has the feeling of a more remote lake. The view, especially on a quiet morning or at sunset is spectacular. The big house is large and comfortable, and easily accommodated our large party for meals and social gatherings. The small cabin is cozy and convenient, and just the right distance from the big house to offer a quiet retreat right on the water. The water around the cabin has a speed limit of "headway speed only" so the cottages not subject to noise and disruption from water skiing and fast boat traffic. The coves near the house offer protected peaceful canoeing and kayaking as well as good fishing, but the whole expanse of the lake is easily reached for higher speed motorboat activities. The public boat launch is about five minutes away by car and a bit more than ten minutes by boat. The docks are perfect for tying up a motorboat or two. There is no sandy beach, but kayaks are easily launched and entered from some flat rocks by the small cabin.

Your agency is a 5 star business. You made it very easy for the whole process. Thank you.

Everything was as stated. The view was fabulous and I can't say enough about the whole process. We were kept informed frequently. The whole experience was great!

I found the agency very friendly. And helpful.

Our favorite feature was the access to beach and fidelity.

The folks at On the Water in Maine Inc. are very nice and made the rental experience smooth. We especially liked the check in and out ease.

The Playhouse is the perfect Maine cottage. It is private and lovely inside and out. The house is outfitted with care and there is a breathtaking view. The private drive leading up to the house is lovely . We have been to Maine several times and The Playhouse is by far the best house we have rented. The location is easily accessible to Camden and Rockport for shopping and eating.

Very good communications. Everything was covered well in advance. Boat hire was handled well.

Wonderful location. Great access to the dock. Easy to find. Peaceful . Well equipped. Convenient to go to general store, Camden and beaches. Improvements could be made to lighting in the cabin. Very dark and almost impossible to read anything indoors.

We were extremely pleased with your agency. We had 2 questions when we first arrived and they were addressed immediately.

We loved our stay at the Schooner View in Camden, Maine. It was very comfortable, attractively decorated and had a wonderful location with a superb view of the harbor.

See above - Excellent!

Tiffany and Justin, Our family reunion in Maine this year has been a family event and celebration long over due since our return back home to Maine from Park City, Utah and our stay at Nokomis Cottage could not have been better! Thank you and your entire team! The location, views, and condition of the home and property surpassed our expectations and being only 12 miles outside Camden, allowed Gail and I to easily be with our extended family throughout the week! Also your reservation and confirmation process, check-in process and helpful emails with directions, updates and information about the area and property were perfect and found to be extremely helpful for all in our family during our stay! It very well may become a new traditional for our family to stay at Nokomis Cottage in future years! Thank you both again! All our best, Gail and Flint Decker

The complete rental procedure - from the first contact to the last e-mail refering to driving directions was PERFECT.

Our stay in that absolutely cozy cottage was awesome! Designed and furnished with a loving hand the cottage gave us a feeling of home right away. It is equipped with all the things we needed: DVDs for a foggy afternoon, spices and utensils for extensive cooking, books and board games... What a great experience! Thank you and warm greetings from Germany!
