About this property
Waterfront seclusion on the Ozello islands
** For any questions regarding the property or area, please click the Contact Host Tab** Come relax and escape from it all in real Florida. The Ozello keys are a string of islands on Floridas nature coast that are fully accessible by car. Nestled between Homosassa Springs and Crystal River. This 2 bedroom/ 2 bath stilt home sits on a peninsula. It is fully furnished with all of the creature comforts of home including linens, dishes, spices, etc. It has a full kitchen, washer, dryer, 2 x flat screen TV's, wifi, Netflix, DVD player, grill, and covered parking. It can sleep a maximum of 7 with a queen bed in each bedroom, a full size electric air mattress, and a twin size sleeper loveseat in the master bedroom. There are 2 elevated decks outside to enjoy as well as a large fire pit down by the water to make memories at. Also included are 3 kayaks for your use as well as limited fishing equipment and tackle. Kayaks and small boats can be used from the back yard. There is not a dock and due to a low bridge most boats can not get from the gulf to the house . Boat ramp and marina is less than 1.5 miles away. Lots of things to do if you are looking for activities. Year round there is great fishing and nature watching from the back yard as well as seeing dolphin and manatees wondering through. Go down to the marina and see the area on an airboat tour. A quick trip up the road for a meal at either Backwater Fins or the historic Pecks restaurant. Maybe go explore Homosassa Springs and Crystal River, each about 10 miles away, there is always something going on. Little over an hour from Tampa or Orlando. Must be ok with friendly dogs because neighbor dogs will almost always come over to say hi. No gatherings or events over 12 people. Dogs are allowed with a fee but they cannot jump on or sleep on the furniture. This may waive your deposit. There is a small elevator but has been disconnected and cannot be used by guests for liability reasons.

I'm reluctant to leave an accurate review because I want to keep this place a secret. This was the best vacation rental I have ever stayed at. Well stocked convenient to everything and unlimited access to the outdoors. get in a kayak supplied by the owner, launch in the tidal creek on the property, and go fishing. Beautiful area of Florida. Easy communication and very clean.
The house was very cute, comfortable, and clean with all the amenities you could want. The porch was great for overlooking the view. Dropping in kayaks was easy and so great to be able to do right at the property. We had a great campfire on the last night. Very relaxing time. Oh, and we can't forget the local dog who visited daily! She is SUPER sweet and friendly and was a fun addition!
The location was perfect, quiet and serene. The house was spacious, clean and having the use of Kayaks was a big plus. There’s a friendly dog “Honey”that visited us daily and being dog lovers we greatly enjoyed her company. There’s a good selection of restaurants in the Crystal River and Homosassa areas and lots of Manatees at Three Sisters Springs. We enjoyed our stay here and would definitely come back.
Had a great stay, the house and area worked perfectly for our vacation, we were able to kayak all the beautiful springs within 2 hours of location and come back to a quiet and peaceful home.
Beautiful secluded spot. We hoped to ride bikes more but the main road doesn’t have a sidewalk and can be a bit busy, however, we found some great trails and parks. Takes about 30 min to get anywhere because of how tucked away you are but that was also one of the best things about it. Awesome kayaking, decent fishing and I’m sure would be much better if we had been a few weeks earlier. Owners are absolutely wonderful and super helpful!!
Nice and quiet. The house and surroundings were clean. Comfortable seating in living room. Nice to have use of utensils in kitchen for cooking. We would visit again!
The home was perfect for my needs! Beautiful home on a beautiful property. The canal is right behind the house. The kayak launch is easy to use. You can't access the Gulf from the canal, so don't expect to bring a large boat right up to the property. There's no dock as the canal is pretty shallow. Fishing and crabbing is absolutely doable and I highly recommend this home for a relaxing trip for nature lovers!
Place was well cleaned upon arrival. This is our third visit here - we love the area. It’s in an off the grid type of location for Florida so yes no see-ums and other critters are out there. But I think over my time in Florida I’ve become immune to the no see-ums. Did some kayaking, fishing and enjoyed our holiday in Ozello and had some really beautiful weather. Look forward to a return trip.
We had a great time to relax and get away from everything. We caught a fish after 15 minutes trying. Great area, stars at night are amazing to view. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
The owner was quick to response to any issues, such as when the Netflix when off. The place is quiet and peaceful. We stayed a month, and I certainly wasn't ready to go home. We caught more fish than ever before and all kinds. They may not have been large but there was plenty. Going kayaking was heavenly, so much nature. The community of Ozello are so welcoming. Can't wait to go back. Sandy from Pa.
We live about an hour from this property. Our family uses it to escape from the hustle and bustle of Tampa. It's our quick and easy vacation without having to leave the area. We enjoy fishing, airboating, scalloping, and everything this great state has to offer. This place lets our kids see the real Florida!
