We had a fantastic stay. The location was excellent and the pictures were accurate. We were a family of 4 and this was a perfect little vacation for us.
This property is beautiful and clean, and right in downtown Bayfield. You can walk to everything and there is a nature walk trail very close. The proprietors are friendly and helpful.
Bayfield and Madeline Island are wonderful. This apartment was extremely well finished and well equipped for a parsimonious 1 bedroom. The Murphy bed was a little bumpy, but everything else was great. Because of the all Vrbo extra charges, the cost is higher than seems reasonable, but you know that cost going in.
My husband and I had a great stay. The location is great, and the decor, furnishings, etc. are impeccable. Owners were very responsive. The only thing inside that could be improved would be instructions in the binder on how to use the heat. After the first night, we communicated with the owners and they explained what to do. The only criticism of the property is that the outside could use some maintenance. The interior was gorgeous and we loved our stay very much! Thank you!
Loved being able to walk to everything in town. A little grocery store is right across the street, so very convenient. Everything was clean and tidy. Kitchen was well stocked with essential items. Two personal preferences... there is plenty of lighting choices in the unit, but most all the lights are very dim appearing. Even with blinds open we had to have pretty much every light in the unit on to be able to see comfortably. Even the bedside table lamp was so dim I had trouble reading at night! I think some higher wattage bulbs would help. Other issue is the trash/recycle cans in the kitchen are small/8 gallon size. As a family of 4 who made just about every meal in the unit, this was too small! I brought standard kitchen trash bags and they were too large to use in the cans. Both of these are small things that can be overlooked, however the reason we would not stay again was the noise from the downstairs unit. No reviews mentioned any issues with noise, so I don't know if it is regular tennents or another rental below, but we had issues with noise every night we were there. The first and third nights the noise died down around 930pm, so not terrible, but the second night it was nearly midnight! So loud we were being woke up and/or couldn't fall asleep...banging, voices, coughing etc. and we had early starts each day; so frustrating! However, I did not reach out the owners because I did not want to disturb so late on 2nd night and our stay was just 3 nights.
The outside of the property is a bit rustic and in need of maintenance, but once inside the rental is quite nice. The Blue Grotto is well appointed and furnished. The space is larger than expected and very clean. The apartment is well located within walking distance of all that Bayfield has to offer.
We enjoyed our stay here. The apartment was beautiful and right in the middle of all activities we needed. We toured the Apostle Islands by a Boat Cruise which was walking distance from the place.
It was a wonderful vacation place.
Very clean and impeccably finished interior. Hosts were polite and very available. However,⊠we didnât need to contact them for anything,.. as everything was up to date and in order. We will be back!
Property was as described, very convenient to downtown Bayfield and the waterfront. Host very responsive. Comfortable and well appointed. Decorating/paint and ceiling was dark, perhaps an acquired taste but overall a good place.
Very clean and accommodating place to stay. Short walk to many restaurants and local bars. Also one of the few that doesn't require a two night minimum, which is a very nice consideration to have. Would highly recommend!
We had a great time. The property was exactly as advertised and very well appointed and cozy. The location was very good as well. Everything was within walking distance. I would stay there again.
Great place right on the Main Street through town. Walking distance to waterfront, restaurants and shops.
Very clean, will definitely stay at the Blue Grotto again!
The Blue Grotto was even nicer looking in person. Very rich details and so clean and welcoming. Excellent location right on the main street with the shops, food and straight down to the dock. Would definitely stay again.
