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

#### The Best
Nellie and Pete were very good hosts. They were friendly, competent, and helpful.This property is the best. It's a great location near Hunter Springs and Citrus Ave. and all the shops. The house was clean, and we had all the things we needed in the kitchen and bathroom.The dog loved the back yard, and so did I. It had an outdoor cooker and a fire pit, good lighting and was a delight.There were just a few drawbacks, the washer took a long time, and the dryer didn't have a low setting.But, overall, this was the best, and we very much enjoyed our stay of four months. We're booked for next winter again.

#### Perfect getaway
Located very close to Hunter Springs Park, it was super easy for us to enjoy the springs and the manatee! This neighborhood is very quiet and safe. The home itself had everything we needed and more! It's clearly a very modern home with all of the conveniences you could ask for. A spaceous backyard and pet friendly! I recommend throwing the kayaks/paddle boards into your truck and bringing them down to the water, if you're going to use them. The kayak carts work great, but it is about a half mile walk and in some areas there is no sidewalk. I would absolutely stay here again!

Lovely home, comfy bed. The description said there was a hot tub which is why we chose this one. There is not a hot tub. Kind of disappointed that we were not offered some kind of discount. We also ended up having to leave early due to a family emergency. Would have been nice to be offered some money back.
