We always enjoy the proximity to Camden-walking distance. Cottage meets all our needs. We do not need more than row bedrooms which makes Captains Cottage perfect for us.

Great summer rental home. The owners clearly have an eye for decor and "little things" needed. From cookware/utensils to make a gourmet meal, to reading lamps over the sofa/chairs. Definitely a home away from home.

I found the agency very thorough in every aspect of the process. We appreciated all the details about the property and area as well as updates on the rental process. We mistakenly forgot to call that we had checked in (!!!), but the person on the line was very nice when realized our mistake a day later.
Property
All four of us loved the cottage! It is so homey and comfortable. The kitchen is so well equipped for any need although we did little cooking, but it was so nice to find brown sugar for our oatmeal and a variety of glasses for our beverages. The towels were fluffy, and with the convenience of a full-sized washer and dryer, we washed them several times as well as some of our clothes to repack.

On the Water in Maine was a pleasure to work with. They were professional, efficient and anticipated things that would help us make the trip smooth. I have rented with rental by owner agencies (VRBO and Air BnB) and this was so much better.

Great location, cute cottage. We could walk to town rather than driving and worrying about parking. but we were not in the middle of the busy town when we wanted to relax. Whoever decorated that place has a great eye; it could have been in a magazine, and had lots of lovely touches.

We stayed at the Captain's Cottage in Camden from July 9-16th. Very nice cottage that was clean and close to downtown. Love the large master bedroom and cozy, comfortable main floor. Cottage was clean and yard well taken care of. Even though we went at a very busy time, we did not have to wait for service at stores, for dining or at the harbor. Beautiful town, great food and people were extremely kind everywhere we went! Highly recommend this area!

The house met our needs perfectly for a 2 week stay in Camden. We were especially pleased with the large, bright master bedroom. All furniture was comfortable; plenty of lamps for good lighting; good, comfortable beds and very nice bedding. The location is good and within a short walking distance to the harbor. The cottage has a "cottage look" and dcor inside---very attractive.
