Full Kitchen that is fully stocked with all the pots, pans and dishes you need to truly relax and enjoy the sites of Ozello Keys. There is also a Washer and Dryer located in house for you to use during your stay.
***SCALLOPING***
Scallop season in Citrus County is July 1 through September 24. Please visit the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission website to ensure you have all current information and rules for the season. Ozello is a perfect location if you want to get to the scallop grounds quickly. You can expect a 20-30 minute drive to the scallop grounds (depending on motor size), compared to an hour drive from Crystal River and Homosassa. There are several tour guides in the area if you don't have your own boat.
***BOATING****
If you are considering bringing your boat, please note that Ozello waters are not as deep as Crystal River and Homosassa. Deep V boats are questionable during the summer months and most likely out of the question during the winter low tides. If you are concerned about your boat not being a good fit please reach out. There are also local guides available that will take you out if you do not feel comfortable navigating the waters.

***FOOD/RESTURANTS***
Grocery Stores are located about 20 minutes away and you can use Publix Instant Cart to delivery to the location. There are three restaurants on the island itself so you never have to leave. Pecks Old Port Cove is the farthest away at mile marker 9 (we are at 6). The sunsets at Pecks are the best on the island, please check their facebook page for current daily closings. The Island Outpost is a local favorite they have a small store to purchase items and gas from and have an amazing Breakfast. Within walking distance of the house is Backwater Fins.

Summary: We had a wonderful time and Ozello with our family! This is our third year in a row renting from Melissa Johnson. She is a wonderful hostess, very accommodating, and responds with any needs right away. The house was perfect for us. Perfect location, we were able to keep our boat parked right at the dock in front of our house.

Summary: Melissa’s rental was a great fit for my two friends and me during our 5 day stay in Ozello. The dock at the house accommodated our flats boat with easy access to all the local water. The convenience factor was huge. The house was very clean and newly remodeled. Everything was in excellent working order. Although some smaller amenities (laundry det, extra towels) were in short supply, the rental was stocked enough to make the week smooth and stress free. We enjoyed a couple meals at The Outpost. And the neighbors and locals were all very friendly and accommodating. We would def book again with Melissa and her rental. She answered all questions quickly and throughly.

Summary: We had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful house for 4 weeks and it was one of the best places we have rented. The house had everything we needed and is located in a very friendly neighborhood. The views from the front porch allowed us to watch birds, fish and a few otters. There are a couple of great restaurants that are located within walking distance. We were supplied with two kayaks and enjoyed paddling around the channels and lake. The caretakers of the property were wonderful checking in on us making sure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay.

Summary: Relaxing fishing and scalloping trip. Evening kayaking was wonderful. Easy walk to local restaurant. House was clean and equipped. It was a just enough space for 4 adults, a toddler, and fur-child. Short drive to watch the sunset every night. Management is very helpful.

Summary: The house was very clean! But it was not stocked with much! We did not have enough essentials to get us through the week! By the time we left, the trash was overflowing, no more bags! There was nothing for our scallops! And the beds were not comfortable to sleep in! When it was raining outside, we had no games, paper and pen or anything inside to do! My kids were bored!!!! Expected more! We love the area, been here before! Probably would not stay in this house again!

Summary: We had a slight issue getting in with the code the first evening, but Melissa had that fixed quickly. It was a great, quiet place to stay between our excursions. There is so much to do in this area. The home is exactly as it states. Make sure to take bug lotion/spray. Florida does bugs good.
