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: My family and I had a great time staying at the Bonefish. We were so impressed by the home’s cleanliness and the organization! The owners were also easy to reach if we needed anything. The Ozello/Crystal River area is perfect for families looking to relax, fish, and eat some great seafood!
