Blue Grotto was the perfect beach vacation home for our family of 8 adults and 2 toddlers. I cannot emphasize enough how good the house layout was in our situation. There were enough doors and safeguards to keep the toddlers safe. There were no stairs that we had to navigate. Parking was easy. The rooms were laid out so that some adults could work quietly, toddlers could take naps as needed, all while the rest of the group had plenty of space (inside and out) to have fun. As for general needs, you could not ask for anything better. Quiet neighborhood, clean both inside and out, 6 houses to a quiet public beach, beautiful private pool and outdoor area. Close to restaurants and grocery. Walking to the "downtown" AMI would have been nice, but then it would have been busier and streets more congested. There were still restaurants in walking distance, and the Trolley was available as needed. Everyone in our group is ready to return again next year!
