The property was so good to us! Location of the house is perfect, you had the springs right there along with little shops and restaurants all within walking distance! Our dog was so comfortable there we had no worries about leaving him there to relax while we went to adventure. The outside area was very relaxing. 10/10 would stay again

We loved staying at the Blue Sea Cow and have already recommended it to friends and family at home. We appreciated the owners prompt attention to the water issue due to freezing temperatures causing the outside pipe to freeze. We had no water and you very quickly rescued us with plenty of water for drinking and washing in. We were glad to have everything we needed to feel at home. It was so comfortable and relaxing that I even took time to enjoy the back deck with some birds. We also loved that we were within walking distance of so many places. It was such a relaxing trip even though we packed in a lot of sightseeing. I am so thankful I got to swim with Manatees even if it was the coldest day of the year. My 65th birthday was the most memorable experience.

Thank you for being so understanding of the water issue. And i'm glad that you were able to enjoy despite the weather being so cold, but when it's cold is when we have the most manatees in the area. Happy 65th birthday!

stay at the blue sea cow

This cute house is named the blue sea cow and it is perfectly fitting, we could walk to several resturaunts, bars, coffee shops and gift shops. We booked a swim with the manatees at Fun2Dive shop and it was a 5 minute walk. Host is amazing at communicating and thought of everything a guest could need or want
