About the host

Hosted by Clara Sumlin

Hi, my name is Clara. I grew up in Essexville, Michigan but have lived in Floral City, Florida for about 30 years now. I have a husband and three children and several grandchildren now. I love fishing, kayaking, and anything to do with the water. I have created my favorite oasis that I am now sharing with you all. I hope you enjoy your stay and spread the word about my little piece of paradise that I like to call my Peaceful Driftwood Cottage.

Why they chose this property

The Ozello Keys are a string of Islands on Florida's nature coast that are fully accessible by car. Nestled between Homosassa Springs and Crystal River. I chose this place as a spot for my family and I to enjoy the great outdoors and truly learn what the Good Old Florida is like. I love this place because it is quiet and peaceful and there is a new adventure every way you look.

What makes this property unique

I can catch redfish, snook, snapper, mullet, and more off a kayak or canoe in the surrounding canals. These canals surround 3 quarters of the property and leads right out to the Gulf of Mexico. There is a quick and easy small John boat launch right on the property. You are close to the Homosassa Wildlife Park, cute Eateries, Scalloping, Boating, Fishing, and more!!!
