This was our second stay at this property, and it was just as we'd expected ... perfect! The property is lovingly and thoughtfully maintained (it has everything you need to have a care-free vacation); plus, it's pet-friendly, conveniently located to anything you need (shopping, attractions, restaurants, etc.). We love the Sea Cow Cottage and can't wait for our next stay. Many thanks to Ashlee and family for opening their beautiful, comfy-cozy cottage to the public via Vrbo. Blessings!!

This house really met our needs. Having a beloved golden traveling with us is really a determining factor up where we will stay. The large fenced yard and the dog friendly interior of the house made this perfect for us and Gracie really loved her new sea cow toy. We plan to return in a few months!
