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.

Wonderful Property and Location!

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!

Very Clean & Updated

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!

The Blue Grotto in Bayfield

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.

About the host

Hosted by Pao Vang

Host profile image
We are Pao and Khou. We are long-term, year-round residents of Bayfield, WI. We have three young children who adore this pristine part of the Northwoods, from the soft, sandy beaches of summer to the powdered slopes of our neighboring ski hill in winter. We love to host families, couples, groups and individuals alike to experience a sliver of our world. Having the ability to do so via platforms like Vrbo is absolutely amazing.

Why they chose this property

You get to enjoy the energy and charm of Bayfield's main street, Rittenhouse Avenue, during the day and return to the privacy and seclusion of The Blue Grotto at night. You can easily access everything in downtown Bayfield by foot: the ferry line, the shops, all restaurants, many hiking trails, beaches and parks.

What makes this property unique

This property is entirely owner-operated. We believe guests have the best experience when rentals are ran by owners, not property managers. We are directly involved in every step of the rental process, from answering guest questions and accepting reservations to cleaning and laundry services.
