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!
Loved our long weekend at this home. The views were amazing! We did a lot of fishing and birdwatching. The fire pit was great for the chilly weather. The home was very clean and cozy! Highly recommend this one!

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Ozello more than 20 years ago for the peace and respite of the "Old Florida" feel and friendly neighbors. Of course the fishing and water just calls out to refresh our minds.
What makes this property unique
We have loved the outdoor screened porch without no see-ums and relaxing with family and friends by the fire. The water view and nature only adds to this perfect picture of relaxation.
