About this property

Waterfront Crystal River Ozello Island Home - private dock/pier and sunset views

Luxury custom built stilted home in the beautiful and relaxing community of Ozello in Crystal River. Spectacular waterfront views, enclosed sunset room and direct access to the gulf from private dock and pier with boat launch on property. Enjoy the view of manatees, dolphins and an abundance of birds and local wildlife from the comfort of this special property.

Beautifully landscaped yard includes a private fish pond (not for fishing or catching) and bird feeders for a full nature experience on the island.

Two bedroom (one king, one queen), two full baths, under house breezeway seating area, and large enclosed sunset room boasting views of the water, wildlife and surrounding islands.

We do offer internet wifi access (sorry, no cable or satellite or local TV) although cannot guarantee uninterrupted connectivity due to the remote nature of the property and potential weather. Smart Tv has Roku with some free apps as well as the ability to access your own subscription based services (Netflix, Hulu, etc).

Maximum occupancy of this property is no more than 4 total people (includes adults and kids). Sorry, absolutely no pets allowed.

Rental also includes access to three high quality kayaks (two singles and one tandem) for use by our guests at no additional charge - a tremendous savings and incredible way to explore the Ozello area. Launch directly from the property!

Walk to Pecks Old Port Cove Restaurant and discover other local gems. Get on "island time" and enjoy everything this quaint community has to offer.

Beautiful retreat

We loved our stay at the Ozello Sunset House. We had everything we needed to make meals at home and the view was just lovely. Lots of birds to see and, on our last evening, a manatee on the way to Peck’s! Robyn was extremely responsive whenever we had a question and she was a complete pleasure work with. Being out in Ozello was like a different world and we just loved it. Thank you!!

We could look out the porch window forever

Terrific! Very comfortable stay. We were there during a cold snap and loved looking out the front window at the birds and porpoises. The kayaks were great and there is plenty to explore. Super convenient to walk to Peck’s for lunch or dinner and the kitchen was well equipped to dine in as well. We will be back!

Amazing!!

I have nothing to say but great things about this place. In a tranquil quiet spot with a restaurant right down the street. My daughter and I brought our fishing rods and caught so many fish off the dock it got boring. So great, totally recommend!!

Fantastic House Great Location!

The house was everything we hoped for. Very clean and well appointed. Beautiful views all around the property. Our young daughter had a blast fishing from the dock. This is a perfect location for getting away from the crowds and experiencing Old Florida again. Will definately book this again!

A peaceful gem

Our family stayed over Christmas break and had a lovely time! The view is breathtaking and home very comfy. The king size bed may be the most comfortable thing I've ever slept in! ;) Our family swam with the manatees and did a lot of fishing and kayaking. We saw multiple dolphins from our dock! It is a bit of a drive from the main road but there is a great restaurant a 5 minute walk away. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat and quality time with loves ones, this is the spot for you!

Perfect Fishing Getaway

House has everything you could need for a fishing trip. Brought our 25ft boat and had no problems navigating the water or using the dock. If you have a t-top you’ll have to go to the boat ramp down the road, we didn’t fit under the house to use the ramp at the house. Hosts are very responsive and accommodating

Great waterfront house with splendid view

Thus waterfront house is very individual: all is well arranged and all services are well available. The location at the end of Ozello Trail is very remote and thus very quite. If somehow lucky, one may spot manatees or dolphins in the lagoon...as we did! The pmace is great to do kayaking tours by yourselves! We very much enjoyed our stay!
