We enjoyed our stay at Blue Moon Cottage, the house has been renovated and has good curb appeal. Renee was very communicative and provided many amenities to give the cottage a comfortable environment. The house is within walking distance of downtown, which provides restaurants and several options for ice cream! Also, walking distance to Stetson University campus.
