Very scenic and beautiful,

The river was beautiful with all the birds, we were greeted with about 100 birds singing and flying around the unit, The sound of all the birds were so mesmerizing. We loved all the views and the palm tree with google eyes.

Nice house

The house was nice. Beds comfortable (which is important to this old lady). Lots of room and a big outdoor patio space. No huge negatives except the house has only the bare necessities. It has coffee filters and some spices. Literally anything else you’ll need, bring with you. And the remoteness of the place means stop to get it before you get there or it’s a long drive to the nearest store. But the remoteness is also the beauty of it. Enjoy!

Quiet Hideaway

The house is out on an island at the end of a 9 mile paved road, The neighbors are spaced nicely and you have the world to yourselves. The views are lovely and it is peaceful and quiet. We had a great time exploring the many springs that are just a short drive away. We enjoyed the quiet evenings on the porch. The owners were friendly and responsive.

Relax in the Ozello Keys

The rental was clean and homeowners are very responsive. The views on the back deck were so relaxing and serene. There is a great bar & restaurant that is a 6 minute walk over the bridge we visited often. I highly recommend this rental!

Weekend Get away

It was our first time in Ozello and we loved it. The house has amazing views from the back deck. We did an amazing air boat ride and visited Homosassa Springs. The Island Outpost Tiki bar was a fun place and great food. We wil definitely be back as we loved this property.
