Great Stay in Paradise

A wonderful stay in a wonderful location. The home was bright and clean. Excellent responsiveness from hosts for any questions we had. Access to an outdoor heated pool/hot tub, and (even better) a quick “bridge connection” to miles of white sand beaches (make sure you watch the sunset from the beach). One excellent feature is the two good-sized rooms on opposite ends of the home, each with ensuite bath…perfect for vacationing with friends. Highly recommend!

Super nice condo at Isla Del Sol!!

We enjoyed our stay at this well located condo with a beautiful view of a large pond with fountain, tropical birds and golfers at play. Just an easy stroll to the immaculate pool too! On our arrival we were pleased to find it appointed with stylish furniture and quality towels, kitchen supplies- etc. Erik & Tisha were welcoming and very enjoyable to work with 😊

Plenty of room

We loved having the extra room, quality kitchen products. Large TV, comfortable bed in master. Peaceful view from balcony. Location was good. Bring change for the tolls. Sadly the pool and hot tub only worked our first day then was ice cold the next 5 days. Property owner did offer a compromise which we appreciated but we miss not being able to swim.

GREAT PROPERTY IN ISLA DEL SOL

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Grouper Grotto. The owners have ensured that the property is listed accurately. Great location by car it is less than 4 minutes to Passagrille Beach. Also, be sure to take "the hike" a 7-mile loop that takes you from the condo to the far tip of Passegrille and back.. The kitchen was well-appointed with pots, pans, and utensils. You will not be disappointed!

Beach, Pool .Sun

We had another outstanding stay at Grouper Grotto. The place was just as nice as we remembered. The pool was so inviting and warm. The grounds are very well maintained. Found a new Italian restaurant, Buona, excellent meals and the pizza was awesome also. Did some shopping at John"s Pass. Lots of stores that were not run of the mill. Ate at Bubba Shrimp Co while there. We had a great meal and plenty of outdoor seating. Spent a lot of time at Fort Desoto Park. For $5 a day you have a choice of 4 plus more beaches, facilities everywhere. There's a great fishing pier. Saw dolphins and a manatee ! As you can tell we had an awesome time and look forward to returning.
