Crystal River House | The Bonefish—Mellow Ozello Canal Stilt Home—Kayaks, Dock, King Beds, Gulf Access

3 Bedroom House in Crystal River

Let the curves of the Ozello Trail melt away your stresses as you arrive on the Key, Crystal River's best kept secret! This waterfront stilt home, just minutes to St. Martins River and the Gulf of Mexico, provides lots of mellowing opportunities. Chill on the screened deck overlooking the canal or enjoy the outdoor space under the house or on the waterfront. There's room for up to 6 adults to spread out in the spacious living room, dining room and kitchen, the large king master suite, and the 2 private guest rooms, one king and one queen with a shared bath. The yard and hardscaping are neat and tidy with a concrete rip rap seawall, concrete walkways and a dock for your shallow-draft boat. Conveniently park up to 2 cars under the house or on the concrete driveways out front where there is an RV hookup or room for a boat trailer. Two fat tire bicycles can be used to meander the old Florida style fishing village area, or it's an easy walk to 2 excellent restaurants and a short scenic drive to another great restaurant with amazing views. There's a general store that carries necessities, fun stuff as well as fishing bait and gear. Ozello Marina as well as other providers can take you on a fishing charter or tour of the area. Three kayaks and 3 paddleboard/kayak hybrids are available for guest use. Watch for the abundant nature residing in the area, from birds, lizards, turtles, and fish near the house, to porpoise and even manatee in the nearby waters. You can gaze at the stars while soaking in the deep water cedar hot tub. Ozello is famous for great fishing as well as a good area when scallops are in season. There is a convenient screened fish cleaning station and an outdoor shower head. There are 3 smart tv's, a dishwasher, washer and dryer so you never have to leave the island if you so choose! But if you do choose, we are minutes to popular sites like 3 Sister's Springs, Homosassa Wildlife Park, Fort Island Beach and an awesome restaurant scene. It's a quick trip to nearby big chain groceries and Walmart for items you can't find on the island. Come mellow in the Ozello Bonefish House.
Please note there are 14 steps required to access the house. Navigating the Ozello Keys areas by boat is best at high tides and with depth finder systems to avoid oyster beds and rocks. The canal water is tidal and can shrink to 3 feet. It is recommended to stay within channel markers.

Summary: I'm so glad I got to meet the owners. They are wonderful people. The place was very clean and well stock with everything you could need. I was able to meet a lot of the local people which doesn't always happen. There is a church in walking distance with an amazing pastor. There are also two restaurants within walking distance. The Island Outpost was our favorite. The community has also written a book about Ozello, which is in the house. Make sure you read it. Very good. Thank you for letting us use your home and I'll miss all the new friends I made here.

Summary: Went fishing and scalloping for the week we was there. The dock is setup good for that. House was very clean and modernized. Ozello is the place if you want to see what old Florida looks like. Very relaxing

Summary: We came for a relaxing getaway and got that and more. It was my boyfriend’s birthday that we celebrated, it was us and another couple and their teenage son. The pictures in the listing don’t do the property justice. Rob and Lynn are the best hosts and have outlined the area wonderfully. We spent most of our time at the house as there was plenty to do between the hot tub, kayaks, and fishing. 10/10 would recommend this house. Rob and Lynn are always available for any questions and the welcome book gives all the guidance you could need. Sad our trip is already over but, we can’t wait to come back!! Thank you again for being such awesome hosts and for such a perfect place for a getaway!!!

Summary: The Bonefish was just perfect for our annual trip to Ozello. The house was spotless and comfortable. It had everything we needed and more. Easy water access. We dropped our 16 foot Jon boat at the nearby bait shop. We left it tied up at the dock at the house and went out in it every day during our stay. We went to Three Sisters and Homosassa Springs by boat and loved swimming in the springs. Our favorite restaurant is Island Outpost, which is very close to the home. We also enjoyed kayaking around the canals. The kids loved the puzzles and beating us at Skip Bo! Everyone in Ozello is so friendly including the hosts of the home. Thank you Lynn and Rob for sharing your beautiful home and island with us!!
