David, sorry for the late LATE response. Our Riverfront Rendezvous was flooded from Helene. but has been restored to the beautiful property it once was. and is NOW available for visitors and guests on either VRBO or AirBnB. Hope you come again. FYI the redfish are everywhere and scallop season is just around the corner !
About the host
Hosted by Kristen Bradley
With our main residence in Colorado Vicky and I are fishing and outdoors fanatics. We travel to Alaska to fish and also love fishing the Nature Coast in beautiful Florida. We love Florida so much we bought a home in the Ozello Keys of Crystal River- the unbeatable Riverfront Rendezvous.
Why they chose this property
Ozello is laid back and surrounded by the best fishing and the people are great too. Mellow vibes, fun fishing, super people and great local restaurants and hang outs.
What makes this property unique
Because Riverfront Rendezvous is ON THE WATER with direct access to St. Martin's River and the Gulf of America, fishing is right there. And with the Ozello Keys Marina across the street, buying bait is a 2 minute walk. Fishing from the dock or tying a boat up makes this the best choice anywhere. After years of ownership, we decided to share this cool place by listing it for vacation rental.
