In walking distance from Three Sister's Springs,<br>Hunters Springs, & Kings Bay

At Blue Sea Cow B&B, you will enjoy 1 bedroom with a queen bed, and 1 bath cottage. The home has full kitchen well equipped, spacious living room with a big sectional and queen size sofa bed, a great open space. Inviting outdoor sitting with fire pit and barbecue, where you can enjoy your evening dinner.
A front porch to enjoy your morning coffee. We provide kayak, paddle board and bicycles, no extra cost. Crystal River is a true gem! Enjoy our small town feel, the only place where you can interact with manatees, in their natural habitat. Great restaurants, if you are a seafood lover you are in the right place. Plenty of trails to hike or bike ride and state parks in walking distance. I can't say enough, you have to come and experience it your self!!!

Perfect getaway, you can literally walk to the springs, best coffee, icecream, restaurants and gift shops in downtown Crystal River. The host was amazing, the shower was super hot, great pressure with a handheld removable part to shower head. Very clean and nicely stocked home.

stay at the blue sea cow

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
