The house was exactly as described and yet seemed to exceed expectations! The pool was amazing, the beach within easy walking distance and so many restaurants, shops, etc to explore. We could not have asked for a better vacation spot!

Great for families!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
Our multigenerational group of nine absolutely loved our stay at the Blue Grotto! Located on a quiet residential street, the home was walking distance to shops, restaurants, and a beautiful stretch of beach. We enjoyed walking to Minnie’s for breakfast, the beach cafe for lunch, and Hurricane Hank’s and the Feast for dinner. The kids liked seeing the parrots at the nearby shopping center and riding the trolley to get ice cream. And every evening we walked down to the beach to watch the gorgeous sunset. The house’s spacious layout provided ample room for kids and adults to spread out, and the big table in the second dining area became the dedicated puzzle station. We paid for the pool to be heated during our April stay. It probably would have been fine without, but the kids and the grandparents loved it. The pool area furnishings were comfortable and offered a relaxing space for all to enjoy. Kelly was very responsive and a wonderful host. We would return in a heartbeat!
