Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We enjoyed our stay at the Little Dipper. It was clean, comfortable, and adorably decorated. There’s a regular coffee maker and a Nespresso machine. We were thrilled she had local coffee and pods available for use. We didn’t cook but noticed she had a good selection of spices available(since most people don’t think to bring when traveling). The property was quiet considering there are multiple other cottages onsite. This cottage does not have a water view but the walk to the beach is not far. The beach was clean with chairs and a pit for a fire. Our host Kimberli was very hospitable and had great communication. She’s constructed a binder with important information and suggestions for dining in the area.
