Great Stay

We enjoyed our stay at the Sea Cow Cottage. Check in was a breeze. It was well stocked (minus shampoo/creme rinse and soap). We felt safe staying here and especially enjoyed the close proximity to Crystal River downtown. We signed up for a manatee tour and saw several from our clear kayaks. I would definitely stay here again!

Such a great days!

First of all, I want to wholeheartedly thank you for being so attentive and efficient during our stay. We have spent days full of joy, peace, and lots of energy. Thank you for offering us this home.This place leaves in our memories dreamy sunsets, the experience of swimming with creatures full of good energy—the manatees—experiencing nature in the springs, including a storm, and enjoying it from the balcony, sleeping so well with the calm that this beautiful place offers.We leave with our hearts full of many beautiful memories!The Zeledón, Rodríguez, Almaguer, and Peña family
