This property is a true gem in this sweet little town of Maine. My family was overwhelmed with its beauty. The home was so well taken care of and the 10 of us had more than enough room to enjoy all of it. We fell in love with this home and we are so blessed to have been able to stay in this spectacular home. From the views on the water from each space, to the amazing kitchen, lovely pantry, and game room we enjoyed this house so much. Until we meet again Candys Cove!

We have rented through On the Water in Maine several times over the years. Every time has been a pleasure. Your site is easy to navigate and explore the homes. The availability calendars are so handy and always updated. Signing up to rent online is simple and straightforward. When I have reached out by email or phone, I have always had excellent service and follow up. The range of properties provides choices for all types of groups and varying budgets. Renting from On the Water, you can feel confident that the properties are exactly what you hope they will be based on photos and descriptions. Its so nice to know that you have someone to call if you have a problem or question. Also, the communication leading up to the rental is excellent and very helpful.
Property
It is an amazing property. Being right on the water was so beautiful. The yard is very large, so you can enjoy the view, and its breathtaking. The home is modern and updated, and has so many comfortable living spaces. The kitchen and bathrooms are clearly new, so they include all of the desired amenities. Hard to pick a favorite feature, the home is so inviting and lovely. It was just my husband and I, and it was wonderful. But obviously for a family gathering or a couple families traveling together it would be ideal. There are plenty of bedrooms and lots of extra living space to spread out.

Candy's Cove is an idyllic spot. We love the peace and beauty that it generates. When you go on vacation, it usually takes a few days to unwind and be ready to vacate. At Candy's Cove this happens within hours. Looking at the ocean, the birds, the lobster boats, erases the stress of work, the drive.

We love being so close to Drift In beach where we can dig for sea glass! We enjoy walking to Marshall Point light and taking trips to Monhegan! The Dip Net provides a quick and easy snack when we just dont want to cook! This property meets all of our vacation needs! We actually stayed in June when our friends rented it at our suggestion!

I like working with On the Water in Maine! They are concerned about guest experience, and were very responsive during booking and during the time we were at the house.
Property
Based on the photos on the website, we had high expectations of this house--and it went beyond those expectations! In a wonderful oceanside setting, the house is spacious, clean, and comfortable. We loved having so many bedrooms and bathrooms. Because we had more than usual rain, we didn't spend as much time outside as we anticipated, but we settled into the living room that has great water views. The only thing that prospective renters should be aware of is that the area is limited in dining and activity options. This is a great property if you want to spend time at the house, beach, and in a hammock or playing lawn games. But if you're looking for many options to be out and about in the surrounding area, you'll be spending time driving.
