My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this house for its ocean coves throughout, many porches and areas to relax and comfortable beds. Use of the provided kayaks enabled us to explore the bay, and being so close to all the area has to offer was wonderful; we appreciated the quiet neighborhood- the only sounds were birds, morning lobster boats and buoy bells, each of which added to the quaint, sea ambiance.
Perfect place to wind down after a challenging year! Needed to get visiting family out of central Maine and show them the beautiful Midcoast. We chose this area for the many activities (aquarium, gardens, trails, etc.) but the house and its location were so beautiful we settled for hanging out on the porch and kayaking with the harbor seals. Absolutely stunning place, hope to come back one day!
Words cannot do this property justice. A beautiful, thoughtfully furnished and appointed home in an even more beautiful location. The property owner was absolutely wonderful. If you are lucky enough to find this property, do not, for one moment, hesitate. It is a special place.
Beautiful views on the water and the archipelago from both floors. A lovely and comfortable home for a Winter break. We enjoyed the charming living room and the multiple sofas. This was the perfect location to escape NYC for a week. We look forward to returning in Spring or Summer.
a beautiful, relaxing experience
Our stay at Little Dipper was fantastic. The house was spotless, the views were breathtaking, and everything we could possibly need was provided. Another wonderful stay. Thanks so much, George!
We loved this cottage - it is likely the best rental we’ve stayed at. It’s been renovated so tastefully and has amazing views from many vantage points. Everything was super clean and there were lots of extra towels, clean sheets on the beds, and the kitchen is well stocked. There is also Netflix and possibly other streaming services available. You do have to bring your own water for drinking because the water softener makes it too salty to drink. It might be nice for the owner to supply that. We highly recommend the nearby botanical gardens and the restaurants in Boothbay Harbor are great for takeout. Thank you George!
We loved our stay at Little Dipper! It was a dream home! We visited Acadia and several beautiful lighthouses! Amazing trip!
We enjoyed long walks in the neighborhood and near by forests. The Kitchen was easy to use, the beds so comfortable and we enjoyed the views from the house.. Such a cozy and clearly loved home.
This property is exactly as described except for the views. They are undescribable! Loved it.
