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.

Slice of paradise
The Ozello House offers a lot of privacy, being in cottage country, with many of the comforts of home. We appreciated being right on the water, with access to kayaks and a hammock. We enjoyed use of the fire pit, and watching the abundance of fish in the water and birds flying overhead.

November in Ozello
A great, spacious house in a serene, beautiful location. We loved our stay and exploring the Crystal River area. The property's very well equipped, truly a home from home, and enabled us to enjoy a very relaxing family break, plus the stars at night were simply amazing! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Many thanks to Jenna and Justin for being the perfect hosts.

This house is in the perfect location for anyone wanting to spend time fishing in Homosassa, or the bay. House is in a very quiet location but not to far away from anything to make it inconvenient. We will be back.

Great time in the Florida mangroves
We totally enjoyed our stay! If you want to be away from hustle and bustle this is a place! Just beware you need a lot of bug sprays and you should be able climb multiple steps everytime you go out 😆 4 stars on cleaniness as carpets have a lot of stains, and we had to wash dishes before using as glasses had lips marks on them. Other than that we had an awesome time! THANKS 😊

Quiet getaway
No complaints. The property was as described, clean, and peaceful. Its located far away from the beaten path so keep that in mind when heading back to the house from town. We had turtles, egrets, and deer roaming the property. Yes there are gnats and mosquitoes but those just comes with the territory.

I had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful property for my Birthday. It was so relaxing, we enjoyed the fire pit being near the water. It was also very easy for us to load our paddle boards/kayaks in and out of the water. The host is very nice and responsive! I would book this house again and again. Thank you so much!

Great place to relax. It was an adventure just driving down the Ozello Trail. Loved it. We drove to the end of the trail to catch a fantastic sunset while crossing a little bridge. House was clean and comfortable. And the location was convenient to all the places we wanted to visit.

We enjoyed our stay so much and were so happy that you weathered Hurricane Idalia well, being up on stilts! Feel confident that you can stay without worry about storm damage! The town is recovering well.. We had fun with our dogs and had amazing fishing and scalloping trips at the marina! We enjoyed the fire pit, and the well stocked kitchen. Thanks so much!!

We loved the property. It was very private but accessible to get to other areas The people in the area were very friendly and helpful. There was a lot to do. Fishing, swimming in the river, kayaking, riding our own bikes, Crystal River town shopping, and a nice beach a short distance away. Air boat rides also and wild nature park close We enjoyed the house.
