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.

Great!

We stayed here for 4th of July and spent the weekend with friends! Host was very communicative and the house was clean and the perfect location for us! Would highly recommend. It was nice being able to use the grill and hang out in the screened space on the first level. *Beware of the mosquitos! Definitely bring bug spray.

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!
