Had a awesome time in Nantucket staying here

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.

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!

This place is so cute. Property manager was very responsive. Stayed here with 2 others for a ladies getaway (all in our 40s). It was perfect. Centrally located. Easily walkable to town. Would definitely stay there again.

I just wanted to take a moment to express how much we enjoyed our recent stay at your lovely property, "Little Dipper”. From the moment we arrived, we were charmed by the cozy and inviting atmosphere. The location was perfect - while inland, it was still very convenient to town, with readily available Ubers and bicycles delivered right to our doorstep. Getting around to Millie's, Jetties Beach, and shopping was a breeze.
We were impressed with how well-equipped the home was, with everything we could possibly need - from a coffee maker and teapot to a hairdryer and utensils. There was even plenty of closet space to hang our things, which made us feel right at home. The rooms and beds were especially comfortable, ensuring that we got a good night's rest each night.
And let's not forget the outdoor courtyard, which was an absolute bonus! It was the perfect place to relax before heading into town. We can only imagine how beautiful it must be in a few weeks when the hydrangeas are in full bloom - we're already making plans to come back in July!
Lastly, I wanted to mention how seamless the whole experience was, from accessing the property to communicating with you and scheduling our stay. It was truly a five-star experience all around. Thank you for making our trip to Nantucket so memorable and enjoyable.

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.

It is so nice when pictures accurately represent a property. This place was super cute and clean. Walking trail near the house made getting into town an easy walk. Owners were great, very communicative and ultra accommodating!

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

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.

My husband and I recently went to Nantucket for 5 days and we were lucky to find this cottage. Fully equipped, nicely decorated and great owner (although we never met him but didn’t need to. Clear communication using email). We will definitely stay here again.

Myself and three of my close friends decided to book a last minute girls weekend and this was the best idea we’ve made! John was incredibly kind and easy to communicate with. The Little Dipper was beautiful, clean, and charming. We will definitely be back!

We were in town for the Nantucket Half Marathon at Bartlett Farm and stayed at The Little Dipper. We loved our stay here. Very convenient location. The kitchen had everything we could have ever needed. Laundry was very helpful after our race. And John was an excellent host- minimal communication, but there if we needed. We would stay here again.

This was the best VRBO I have stayed in. It is almost brand new. Private yard with seating area. Outdoor shower. Comfortable. Very nice place. About a mile outside of town.

Due to extenuating circumstances, we had to make a quick change in our travel plans and were very happy to find the Little Dipper. John was very accommodating and the home is adorable with its design and layout. All new appliances, flooring, and items throughout made it comfortable and functional for the four of us. While a little further from town then we are used to, we enjoyed the quiet evenings and still ease of access to the rest of the island. When we weren't around the island, we relaxed on the stone deck area with full privacy from any neighbors. Truly a special place.

We just got back from a 3 day long weekend trip to Nantucket to celebrate my husband's birthday. We are a family of 4 and this home was perfect for us. The master was in the lower level with full bath. First/main floor full kitchen, well appointed. The second floor loft had a bed with trundle which was very perfect for our kids to sleep in separate beds. We mostly just used kitchen for breakfast and snacks. We thought about cooking but read reviews that mentioned seating might be tough. Pictures of the outside eating area should be updated since there now is a beautiful outdoor table and chairs that can fit up to at least 8 and a grill available for use. The only complaint I had from the kids was that there were no shades so they were up early (which was great for us!).
John was a great host, very responsive.
We very much enjoyed our stay!

Just returned from a wonderful stay at John’s property. The little cottage is light, bright, decorated adorably and kitchen is well-appointed. Beds are super comfy. Location is ideal … centrally located just outside town. We rented bikes for a few days from a shop in town and all parts of the island were easily accessible via bike lanes or bike paths during the day. Used a taxi service in evenings to get to dinner reservations.
John and Monica were both very responsive and gracious. Highly recommend!

Nantucket for a spring long weekend
Nice property, good location to get to town (~15 min walk) and near grocery/restaurants. New house with modern amenities. Just to know for families - one bedroom is on the 2nd floor and one is in the basement - so lots of stairs and distance for families with little kids. Also, not a table to really eat at inside with little kids, but if the weather is right the patio outside has a nice table to enjoy a meal. Hosts were receptive to questions and left us lots of nice goodies for our arrival (extra nice!).

A Delightful Oasis, A Short Distance to Town
Little Dipper is the perfect vantage point to enjoy Nantucket! Centrally located, but oh so close to town, it's a perfect spot to enjoy all that the island has to offer. We thoroughly enjoyed every facet of our stay and can't wait to come bACK!

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.
