Grotto Bay was ideal for what we were looking for during our four-day stay on Long Island. I brought my two children and their significant others, and the house gave all of us our own bedrooms and bathrooms, which was perfect. The house is very well located, with a liquor store, grocery store and several great restaurant options all within about five minutes. Grotto Bay itself is extremely well equipped, and the air conditioning worked amazingly well—particularly appreciated during the summer months! One of the highlights of our stay was renting a boat from Long Island Boat Rentals. They delivered the boat directly to the beach in front of the house, and we were able to keep it on a mooring just offshore for the duration of our stay. You really can't ask for much more than that. The grotto and cave system adjoining the property is another amazing feature, complete with bats and plenty of other creatures to discover. One piece of advice: don't explore the caves at night after too many cocktails—it makes for quite an experience! Cheryl took wonderful care of us throughout our stay and was always available with local knowledge, insider tips and suggestions for things to do. The Good Life Vacation Rentals also took excellent care of us from beginning to end. Everything was handled professionally and made our stay easy and enjoyable. We had a fantastic time and I would highly recommend both Grotto Bay and The Good Life Vacation Rentals to anyone planning a stay on Long Island. We would happily return. Jose

Excellent Our stay at Salt Pond in the Bahamas was absolutely fantastic! The house was perfect for us and had everything we could have possibly needed. It was stocked with every amenity you could think of, including beach rafts, a beach umbrella, and so many thoughtful extras that made our vacation even more enjoyable.The home itself was beautiful, comfortable, and exactly as advertised. We truly loved staying here and would not hesitate to book it again on a future trip.The property manager was also outstanding. Communication was excellent from start to finish, making our arrival and check-in process incredibly smooth and stress-free.We highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the Bahamas. It was an amazing place to stay, and we can't wait to come back!

Long Island is a special place and Grotto Bay is a perfect place to stay. We love exploring the remote beaches on both shores as well as the natural wonders like Deans Blue hole. We love the reef and wreck fishing for our dinner as well as the snorkeling and the unlimited sea life we see especially when it’s right at the back door on the clear waters of the home. Swimming and paddling over to the island never gets old either.
