The cottage was just what I needed! The location was perfect for me. The back porch was the perfect place to relax morning, afternoon, and evening. The canal was a very busy place…fish, ducks, ibis…. Always something to see! Looking forward to a return visit.

This is one of my favorite getaways. Perfect for a single guy from Ohio on a working vacation trying to get a few extra days of that summer weather. I love hanging out on the dock, kayaking with the manatee, and wake-boarding at the Lift Adventure Park. I'll definitely be back.

Our third stay in this beautiful property. So full of character, such wonderful hosts. If our trip has to finish, this is the best way to do it. Last morning spent kayaking to the spring to see manatees. Heaven

From waking up with the sunrise and cup of coffee on your private dock, to winding down at night with the sunset and a glass of wine. Our stay was magical!

Great cottage with everything you could possibly need. Enjoyed our stay and the porch and deck along the water was so relaxing to sit and have our morning coffee. Why stay in a hotel when you can have a whole place to yourself with great views and it’s cheaper!

The best equipped rental ever! The attention to detail was apparent throughout the cottage right down to the charming decor. Family issues cut my stay short, but i hope to remedy that on my next visit..Also super clean !!

I absolutely enjoyed this place. I already want to go back for a second trip. Jerry and Chuck are some of the best hosts in Florida. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody looking for a great place to stay.

Cow Creek Cottage is a wonderful little hideaway that is a stone’s throw away from just about every modern shopping convenience. Comfortable and cozy, the Cottage is fully stocked, every drawer and cabinet brimming. Two large tvs provide excellent viewing. Watch the sun set or drop a fish line off the dock at the back door. A full complement of fishing rods and tackle are available in the rear carport. I caught and released five different kinds of fish and some blue claw crabs. I did save one jumbo crab for dinner. My constant companion was a stately blue heron who watched my every move.
The Creek is alive with activity… fish splashing, ducks quacking, birds yakking. Occasionally a dolphin glides by. Kayaks at hand for exploring the nearby waters.
The hosts, Chuck and Jarry, live next door and were instantaneously available and responsive.
Overall, a very relaxing, satisfying week.
