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.

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.

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.

This property is exactly as described. Very quiet and peaceful location. We swam with manatees, air boated with dolphins, rays, and sea turtles. We floated on tubes down Rainbow Springs River. Really nice place to spend family time.
