Description

At Grotto Bay Bahamas guests enjoy a serene tropical environment overlooking their own private sandy beach. It is centrally located, about mid-island, perfect for touring either to the north or south.

Step outside your studio onto a sweeping deck and the scenic view unfolds -- a serene cove, swaying palm trees, hammocks and little offshore cays. Sunsets are spectacular!

Choose the Triggerfish Studio here for best access to the Guest Kitchen. This is especially popular with families with kids, those who enjoying making their own meals, and early rising anglers. The studios feature a queen bed, ceiling fan, air conditioning, TV and DVD player, microwave, mini refrigerator and coffee maker. Guests enjoy high quality linens and many of the extras that make a vacation comfortable.

The deck connects the the Triggerfish Studio, Turtle Studio and guest kitchen. Each studio has its own private deck area (with ocean view) for lounging and dining. The sandy beach is just steps away – with no neighbors in sight.

The open-air guest kitchen is fully equipped for easy meals and drink libations. Coolers are available for island touring. Families and couples traveling together can enjoy getting together for meals or socializing on a central portion of the deck directly overlooking the beach. For outside grilling two Weber barbecues are available, but the beachfront firepit is a huge hit with our guests.

Swim, snorkel or paddle board in a calm bay, kayak to nearby uninhabited cays or cast a line out to a fat mutton snapper. Snorkelers will find a veritable nursery of tropical fish, a resident turtle (Amy) and the occasional dolphin or manatee.The paddle boards, kayaks, snorkeling equipment, shorty wetsuits and fishing hand-lines are all complimentary.

Here you’ll find beautiful seclusion, personalized service and comfortable accommodations, all at a very affordable rate.

We enjoy can arrange your meal reservations, island transportation, and guides for fishing, snorkeling and scuba diving. Although Grotto Bay is very secluded, it’s just a short stroll to restaurants, two grocery stores, a liquor store, car rental and gas station.

Grotto Bay is a truly unique property with its tropical gardens and sculptures and a three-chambered underground cave system featuring stalactites and stalagmites and five species of bats. Rising from the beautiful grotto are banana palms, papayas and avocado.

The first week in June is a special time here. For three days the Long Island Regatta unfolds right off of our beach. Guests can settle into a beach chair, dig their toes in the sand, watch the sailboats line up, and then listen for the gun that starts the races. You’ll have the best seat on the island for watching these Bahamian-built, traditional sailboats, reminiscent of the days when they served as lifelines to other islands.

Without a doubt, Long Island is certainly the friendliest of all the Out-Islands, and one of the most beautiful. We’d like to share it with you!
