Loved the Little Dipper!
We absolutely loved our stay at The Little Dipper! It was much more spacious than we imagined and the king bed downstairs was incredibly comfortable! Everything in the house seemed brand new. The outdoor shower was a huge bonus! Location was perfect… between 5-10 minutes to downtown and beaches. Highly recommend and we will definitely be staying again!

Best Getaway Close to Town!
My Fiancé and I stayed here for 5 days when I proposed to her at Brant Point. The 'Lil Dipper' was the perfect romantic, quiet getaway for us to have the best time in Nantucket. We used the beach chairs, towels, and cooler daily and enjoyed late nights watching our shows in the main living room. Also, it was great to have two separate bathrooms to get ready before our nights out downtown. I highly recommend this Vrbo for a couple looking for a romantic getaway in a great location on the island!

Absolutely delightful
We had a wonderful stay at Lil’ Dipper. The house and property are even more charming in person, which I didn’t think possible. The space was perfect for our family of four. My husband enjoyed sitting out front in an Adirondack chair enjoying the beauty of Nantucket. Our host John was incredibly responsive, welcoming and gracious.

Very nice property!
Had an issue with another guest staying nearby where they thought they had this cottage. This was sorted out quickly by the property manager and all was good. Very nice bedrooms and a nice modern feel. We were very happy and would rent it again.

Time Away From Time
We absolutely loved staying in the Little Dipper at the end of March. Upon arrival we saw a shooting star and we were actually directly under the Little Dipper. The decor was gorgeous, very functional and John did not miss a detail. John was very sweet and left us a welcome gift for my birthday. He was there for any questions we had and had great recommendations. (Lola was romantic and delicious.) I highly recommend choosing this property, John made our stay as easy and relaxing as possible. Off season Nantucket is a great way to explore the beauty and history of the island.

Gorgeous New England Barn-Style Cottage
This was an absolutely beautiful accommodation. We truly fell in love with the place. The contruction and maintenance of the cottage, and the manicured property itself, is exquisite. The cottage is modernly furnished with up-to-date appliances, furniture, bedding and kitchen supplies. The actual location of the property is very convenient and is walking distance to downtown Nantucket, plus it offers easy access to all other areas of the island. Highlight of our stay was seeing several Whitetail Deer in the adjoining farm meadow. Communication with the property owner/host couldn't have been better. They were always quick to respond and gave explicit details/instructions, and when we decided to extend our stay on very short notice, they were quick to help us. We will definitely return to this particular property next year, without question.

Liked: Listing accuracy
Very nice except for next door construction
This is generally a nice property, clean efficient and generally as advertised....with one exception. the house next door is being rehabbed. The constant scream of skil saws and drills made sitting outside impossible and became annoying after a couple of days...a couple of days extending until 7:30 at night. It just detracted from what I had hoped would be a few very quietr and peaceful days on Nantucket
