The property, run by very nice people, has everything you need and plenty of room to spread out. The highlight though, is the simply spectacular view from the back deck and living room. A free public kayak/boat launch is 30 seconds away.
My wife and I loved it the house and the amazing view. Everything we needed was provided, felt more like staying at a friends or with family. We couldn't have asked for anything more.
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.
‘Loved our stay so much…I was so sad to leave. We spent 3 relaxing days at this wonderful property and can’t wait to book again down the road. The owners were so kind and communication was excellent. The home is cozy and so relaxing with the most beautiful view from the back deck. The sunrises each morning took my breath away and I got some great pictures of them. What a great spot to sit and drink coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. The house had everything we needed and our bed was super comfortable. It’s a great area to take long walks, bike rides (if you’re careful due to windy roads and boat trailers coming and going to get to boat ramp down the road). Hubby spent hours fishing in various spots within walking distance. Met the nicest people! We also loved Pecks restaurant within walking distance over the causeway. The food and atmosphere were so nice we went twice. I have no complaints at all and encourage anyone who loves Florida nature and relaxation to stay at this property. You won’t regret it!
Property is perfect for a fishing get away. Public ramp is literally two lots away. Everything was just as the property was described. I would rent again.
Nice house in a quiet little area with good fishing and lots of natural beauty. Communication with owners was very good.

Quiet Get-Away, with all of the comforts of home.
This Ozello Island House was very comfortably furnished, with a fully-furnished kitchen. The quiet neighborhood, along with the view from the back-porch were exactly what we were looking for. A great place to get away from it all !
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!
