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!
House was perfect for what we needed it for capt. Mike and Mrs. Jan were awesome with helping us navigate the canal. Dock held both our boats perfectly!
This place is super comfortable and well taken care of inside and out. The neighbors are very friendly and we’re super helpful. Our stay wasn’t long but I would come back with a shallow boat and stay for a week if I could, fishing the mangroves and exploring the area. My wife loved the sun room it was such a cool experience looking out over the mangroves in the morning and at night.
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.
We had an amazing stay at the Ozello Lighthouse. We really appreciated the fact we could get an extra kayak so that all of us could enjoy the water. It was a great location to explore Crystal River and Homosassa and the drive to and from the house is stunning.The house was clean, had plenty of room for all of us and the screened in porch was perfect. We enjoyed our meals while overlooking the water.Bonus we were able to have our groceries delivered so no wasting time shopping! The kitchen is pretty well stocked with what you will need to cook up a meal. The only thing I would suggest is be sure to bring some toilet paper and some dish soap. Start ups were provided and we use vacation homes a lot so we were prepared.Thanks for everything we will be back!
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!
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.
Worked perfect for our family vacation even though some of the family were in different homes. Enjoyed the dock and kayaks. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and pots and pans which was nice since we ate breakfast in each morning. Host was very helpful and kind.
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.
