We had a great, one week, stay in Ozello! The hosts of this home have thought through many things that make the stay special, including kayaks, large screened porch, beautiful fire pit area, comfy couches in the living room with a fabulous 'bird filled' view. Necessary equipment for cooking casual dinners, a charcoal grill, plenty of linens, and special places to walk to like the Peck's Old Port & the Community Park. Peaceful neighborhood and only a short drive to the busier, touristy areas in Crystal River.
