Fishing trip with family

Great location to get away from fast pace city stuff. Ozello and Crystal River are very laid back communities. Fishing is good and boat ramp is real close by. Manager came over to introduce themselves. Very nice people and their recommendations for restaurants were great. We’ll definitely be using this one again in the future.

Quiet retreat

Cute house with pretty view. Kayaking was limited at times due to low tide and water was pretty shallow at the house. Quiet and peaceful. Had to bring own wood for evening fire.

Fantastic house, fantastic surroundings, a bit no

The host, the house, and the location were amazing. As nature lovers, we were a little disappointed by how the ecosystem in the sea is visibility degraded, and how the little town of Ozello is actually full of giant, noisy trucks and constantly running AC units. so it has an amazing potential, but it’s a bit noisy.

Lovely Time

We really enjoyed our stay. We used the kayaks and paddled all around the area. The bird watching, fishing and sunsets were top-notch. The neighborhood was quiet and house was clean. I worried about my sisters who are very particular about firm beds but they had no complaints. All in all, it was a lovely stay at Ozello!

Great location everything needed with a boat ramp just down the street (free at the time). Plenty of parking for boating equipment, etc. Direct (QUICK) access to fishing and scalloping grounds, just make sure to use a navigation app (Navionics) as all the water in the entire area can be very shallow. House has everything you'll need for a great stay with family/friends. Book it and enjoy your stay with host Shondra who's always available just across the way!

This property is exactly as described. Very quiet and peaceful location. We swam with manatees, air boated with dolphins, rays, and sea turtles. We floated on tubes down Rainbow Springs River. Really nice place to spend family time.
