This was a slice of "Old Florida" paradise - a relatively short distance away. We loved the location and had a wonderful stay. The location was perfect for scallop season; and, we also enjoyed the small town feel of Ozello. Our host communicated clearly and worked with us before the stay - as I had questions. There was ample space; and things were very clean.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay! We enjoyed relaxing at the house, using the kayaks provided, fishing, and our dog loved it too. She met and played with the neighbor’s nice dog. We were able to get out and enjoy local restaurants and scenery too. We would highly recommend this place!

Loved this place on the water. We enjoyed kayaking and the peaceful surroundings. We saw manatees several times. The house was so pretty with plenty of views and natural light. Since the house is on stilts, there are lots of stairs...which didn't bother us but, may be limiting for some people. Everything was well stocked... the kitchen, firewood for the backyard fire pit, fishing poles, kayaks, etc

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 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.

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!

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!!
