About this property

** 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.

Family weekend adventure

My family and I were looking for a close getaway , long weekend adventure. We were not disappointed! Upon arrival, the home was exceptionally clean. The beds and furniture are were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Outside we spent our days enjoying the kyaks and fishing all day. We found a great little spot that a passing family on boat recommended. We caught anything from snook to sting rays. We spent our evenings enjoying the sound of the fish jumping and listening to music by the fire pit. This place is a perfect getaway for a family looking for an adventure. The host Jenna and Justin were amazingly responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back!

It was wonderful

A lovely quiet spot to just chill out. We went canoeing on the river. There is a lovely firepit spot but we did not use that. Comfortable home with everything you could want. Very quiet, it's about 20 minutes back to the store so go prepared, which we did. We did not need to leave the property once there.

Awesome Times in Ozello!

We arrived after a day of work and a 3.5 hour car ride up from South FL, so we didn't get in the area until well after 10pm, and boy was it spooky out there trying to find this place! But, directions were great and the effort to get there only added to the appeal and seclusion of this property. My wife and kids loved it! my 8 year old son was outside fishing as soon as he could in the AM, my wife and I enjoyed our morning coffee from the main deck facing the waterway, my youngest guy vegged on the couch watching cartoons until we spun things up! We used this property as our base to go scalloping and then hit 7 sisters springs the following day, and it did not disappoint! There are a few nice restaurants nearby and if you don't mind driving a bit there are more around the neighboring towns, about 15-20 minutes either way. We spent most of our time out and about but really enjoyed when we could just relax at the property and just take it all in. My suggestions are to make sure you have plenty of bug spray, the owners warn you, but man.... don't even forget to put that stuff on going outside for even 5 minutes, it's 4 days later and my whole family is still paying for that error, lol! its the no-see-ums, they suck! However, we did do things properly for the majority of the time and even enjoyed a fire pit on saturday night. Bring food and plenty of it, if you think you want it or may need it, bring it. It's about 20 mins to Winn-Dixie or Publix, either way!

About the host

Hosted by Jenna Fletcher

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!
