Another great stay at the Blue Grotto!! The house is very spacious & comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need. The beach is a 2 minute walk down the road, great beach days & amazing sunsets. We walked to most bars & restaurants. We enjoyed The Feast, Freckled Finn, Fifty Three Fifty & Doctors Office Bar & Garden. Drove to The Waterfront, it was excellent. We also went to the Tiki Bar/Floridays for lunch and it was fabulous!! Shout out to Dcoy Ducks!!

We were extremely satisfied with our stay and had an amazing time! The house was clean, modern, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The pool area was absolutely incredible — perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sunshine. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and definitely plan to be back!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The house is spacious, beautifully kept, and has everything you could possibly need. The backyard with the pool, loungers, umbrellas, and grill was perfect for relaxing evenings.The location is unbeatable — just a couple of minutes’ walk to the ocean, with soft white sand and stunning turquoise water. No cars, no crossing streets — just pure paradise at your doorstep.Traveling with a baby was made so easy — there was a playpen with a comfortable mattress where our little one slept peacefully at night, and a high chair for feeding. The backyard had boxes full of water toys for kids, plus beach chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards — it’s so nice not to worry about what to pack or how to entertain your child (or yourself!).A special thank you to the owners of this wonderful home — such kind, friendly, and communicative people. Any question we had was answered or resolved immediately.I will truly miss this place as we head back to Illinois, and we hope to return next year!
