This was our second stay at the sea cow cottage. Great location, very comfortable beds, cozy living room with large screen Tv and electric fireplace. Huge fenced in yard which was wonderful for our 2 Yorkies. Centrally located which makes it convenient for all the outdoor activities and restaurants that the area offers!! For pickle heads like myself, Tiger point rec area has 2 outdoor pickleball courts with a great group who play 7am-9am daily. Also, Midway Baptist Church ( 2 blocks away) offers indoor pickleball Tuesday and Thursday. The sea cow cottage won’t disappoint. Highly recommend.

Love this rental. The owner is so sweet. This is our 2nd stay and Ashlee always has a toy waiting for our fur babies. Clean, well furnished, nice big fenced yard, grill, firepit and comfy bed. Kind of high but there is a small step stool for shorties like me. Highly recommend

The Sea Cow cottage was a perfect size and location for our trip. It was clean and had everything we needed to cook and be comfortable during our stay. The host went out of her way with many extras to make the cottage homey.

Location was great! The place was clean,back yard was amazing for our fur baby. Couldnt get the firepit to work. Host was amazing even gave us a souvenir and our fur baby too. Would recommend letting people know that there is beach stuff to use in the closet maybe in the instructions book on table. That would have been so helpful during our trip. There are beach chairs,toys, unbrella. My only complaint was the beds. The big bedrooms bed is way to high up off the ground and the small bedroom there isnt space to walk the bed takes up almost whole room. The mattresses are hard which some people like but not me or my boyfriends and the pillows are way too soft. I definitely enjoyed my stay however i didnt get any sleep while staying. I would definitely go back. It overall was a great experience and we really enjoyed it. Especially the back yard.

This rental was amazing. It was close to everything we wanted to do. My partner, our kids and I enjoyed this rental for 5 days. We wish we could've stayed longer. There was so much more we wanted to do. Our 2 two legged kids and 2 four legged kids loved our stay here. Ashlee was an amazing and accommodating host. Communicating with her was very easy. She literally had gifts for all the kids waiting for us when we arrived. We loved the big fenced in backyard. This house was clean and comfortable. It's hard finding rentals that are people and dog friendly. This rental has it all. There were also beach items in the closet that came in handy so don't forget to check in there before you buy or bring items. There's also dog bowls in the pantry just in case you don't bring the non collapsible type. There's also some good dog friendly places and restaurants in the binder she has in the house. This was the best beach rental experience we've had. We'll definitely consider renting this property again if we come back to this area.

This was the BEST vacation I’ve been on and the first we have been able to go on with our dog! The property was gorgeous and matched perfectly that beach aesthetic and was so close to everything like Destin and Pensacola so it was very convenient for all that we did! Our dog absolutely loved the big yard too! Thank you Ashley for being such an amazing host!

Sand & Sea Stress Free!

Enjoyed our getaway to FL including the beach house we chose for our accomodations. The home was clean, with all the amenities a fam could possibly need, as well as themed in beachy decor. The beds were comfy & the backyard was perfect for our dogs. The home cooling system was excellent. Quiet neighborhood in excellent location. Thanks for allowing us to book with you, Ashlee!
