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.
