We so enjoyed our stay here. The rental was clean and quiet with beautiful views of so many sea birds! Kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable, can't wait to book again in the future!
We had a lovely time at this VRB property. It is located right on the water with a dock and kayaks. My daughters enjoyed the kayaks and my grandchildren enjoyed playing in the large yard. One of the highlights was sitting around the fire pit, making S'Mores. The house was spotless and there was everything you need for a nice stay. I highly recommend this home.
The property was exactly as described. Great waterfront location in a quiet neighborhood. The home was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. Kitchen was well-stocked, beds were comfortable, and the screened patio was perfect for enjoying the views. We made use of the fire pit and kayaks and had a memorable weekend away. Thanks!
We had a wonderful time. It was perfect. We went kayaking with the kayaks that they had on property. Beautiful and clean home. The camp fire pit was so nice. Jan was so helpful and sweet. We would love to come back soon.
Great views, comfortable with a lot of amenities. Property manager's husband is a professional fishing guide if that is of interest and three restaurants/pubs withing 4 miles.
The property is in excellent condition. The host was very helpful whatever requests we had.
It is very quiet in the winter. The beds are comfortable.
The only downside is that a car is absolutely essential if you rent this property.
The house was great. It was very clean and had a nice layout. The view was spectacular and having the kayaks that could be launched from the backyard was perfect. The fire pit was also great as I had some chilly weather. The neighbors were friendly and helpful. The house was walking distance to Peck's seafood and a scenic bay with great sunsets. The area has numerous attractions and good restaurants. There was live music at Backwater Fins.
We had a great time. The rental included kayaks and a personal boat ramp on the property making getting on the water really easy. We also enjoyed showing the kids how to fish off of the dock. We rented a boat and checked out the springs and manatees. (Missed scallop season) but had a blast. The property managers were awesome! And if you’re looking to go fishing, the husband is a local charter Capt. I believe his name is captain Mike. Thanks for everything. We’ll be back.
Property was clean and comfortable. Beautiful view of water and small dock.
Nice secluded part of the backwater area between the Chrystal and Homosassa rivers. Neighbors are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Owner was great also.
About 1 1/2 mile via boat to get into the gulf but not for novice boater or someone with larger boat. Many hidden oyster beds and rocks and very low water depending on tide. If your skiff can handle very skinny water you might do OK but talk to neighbors regarding navigation before going out or you will definitely bottom out. Use boat ramp down the road to get boat in water.
A few friends and my self enter a fly fishing tournament annually that we enjoy in Ozello, this will now be our returning VRBO! The Host Shondra had us all set up with under home storage, a small boat launch perfect for our skiffs many restful spaces both indoors and outdoors to wind down after battling low tide conditions in the estuary. We stopped for drinks at Pecks Thursday night and dinner at the Island Outpost. Both restaurants were “our speed” with the atmosphere and food along with a welcoming staff at both locations. The neighbor on the left of the property is a Captain with many stories and “time on the water” experience to help with navigation as well as patterns to dissect the fishery. The neighbor on the right offered many pastime stories of historical natural disasters that the area had experienced to remind you that is Old Florida. Both parties made this a more than hospitable stay for my friends and I.
Thank you again, Shondra.
