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.

*CAMERAS
This property uses motion censored cameras at front door and back door. These cameras only point to outside areas. These are meant to deter and prevent any unlawful activity. Also, this allows the host to monitor laborers such trash pickup, lawn maintenance, pest control etc.

*PEST CONTROL
Well, this is Florida and controlling unwanted bugs is always challenging. This home is cared for and managed by a professional pest control company on a quarterly basis. We do our best to keep doors and windows closed to keep unwanted pests outside! However, we cannot guarantee you will not encounter a curious creature during your stay. Keeping food cleaned up inside and out is definitely the best thing you can do to help us in this area. Please message host if you feel there is a problem.

*SAFETY
This property is located on a beautiful canal. At low tide there can be as much as an 6-8' drop off from the seawall into the canal. We ask that you please be mindful of young children and make sure they are supervised at all times. We also have plenty of wildlife in the area that could potentially be dangerous. Never leave children outside alone.
This is NOT a child-proof home.

- "What a great little cottage on a canal that (eventually) feeds into Kings Bay! The property is part of a duplex, but felt private. It's close to Rt. 98 (a thoroughfare in Crystal River) in one direction and to Fort Island Beach (tiny beach on Crystal Bay) in the other direction. Convenient to everything without being right in the of suburbia. Key Lime Cottage was super clean and new. Love the vibe of decor. The master bed was really comfortable. It had plenty of thoughtful amenitites inside and out, even kayaks, bikes, and fishing rods! We weren't there enough to hang outside, but the picnic table, fire pit, lounge chairs, fish cleaning area, and little boat launch ramp are all great features. Vicki had suggested going to Crystal River Preserve State Park when I asked her about seeing wildlife. It's a zoo of sorts, where they care for unreleasable native wildlife.It's not fancy, but I happened across a rescuer treating one of their manatees and she spent a lot of time teaching the small crowd about them. And there were plenty of other amazing animals. It was not "manatee season" in Crystal River, so we did not swim with the manatees. We did drive about 30 minutes and kayaked Rainbow River, which was spectacular. We also drove about an hour to funky Cedar Key for a great clam and oyster dinner and sunset. Thanks, Vicki for a great stay, we recommend your place!"

- "Great for family with a pet." - "We had a great time at this property. We were able to launch our boat right at the house. The oversized car port was a nice bonus. We would stay again." - "The house and location are exactly as the pictures and description indicate. This property is old Florida at its finest. The waterfront, views, 2nd floor decks and boat ramp were our favorites. Also, the fenced in areas made it trouble free for our dog. We brought our 22' bay boat and scalloped for two days. The on-site private boat ramp made life easy. Depending on tides, assume 1.5ft to 2ft of water depth leading from the house out to the channel. Navigating St. Martin River is challenging the first time. However, the nearby marina staff were knowledgeable and helpful. Communications from Christine were always accurate and timely. We strongly recommend this property."

Always go slow and watch for obstacles. We can accept boats up to 24'. Trailer parking is on the vacant lot next door.
All guests who bring or rent boats are solely responsible for the navigation, operation, and safety of their vessels. The property owners are not liable for any accidents, injuries, or damages incurred while using boats. Guests must comply with all local boating laws and regulations. Any damages caused by boats to the property or third parties are the sole responsibility of the guest.

🐶ATTENTION PET OWNERS
If you would like to bring your furry friends(s) please inquire with host before booking. We would like to know weight and breed of dog. We do have a $125 pet fee, please include in your booking.
Pet rules are as follows: Do not allow your pet to sleep in our human beds. It is impossible to get pet hair out of the sheets. Do not allow your pet to wander into your neighbor's yard. Our backyard is fenced in on each side but open at the seawall. Pick up after your pet in the yard. What an unpleasant experience for the next guest to step in some poopy from your pet. Thank you!!

Guests will have access to whole 2/1 home which includes eat in kitchen, living room, 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, backyard including private boat slip and seawall. Back yard is fenced in on both sides with complete privacy, but open at seawall.

Safety
There is one step up to get into the house, a big "step-up" into the tub and big "step-down" out of the tub (a grab bar to assist but not to bear full weight is in place), and a step down off of the deck.
Please be mindful of the seawall. At low tide it can be a 6' or more drop off. CHILDREN MUST BE SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES IN THE BACKYARD.

PESTS
If you are visiting from out of state, Florida has pests!! Our property gets sprayed quarterly inside and out and is frequently checked for our pesky pests, but we cannot guarantee you will not encounter something inside the house. It is best to keep doors and windows closed when not in use.

Cameras
We use 2 motion activated video cameras on the outside of the house. One is in the back pointing out towards the yard and the other is near the front door pointing out towards the street. Our main reasons for this is to ensure safety of our guests and be aware of any illegal activity. It also allows us to be aware that all house services such as garbage and lawn are being maintained properly.

We look forward to you making Camp Manatee your favorite Crystal River getaway! 🏕️

- "This place was one of the best vacation spots I've ever had the pleasure of staying in. We didn't want to leave. Every part of this place spared no detail. The host went above and beyond and we truly cannot wait to come back and visit. Do yourself a favor and stay here. We can't wait to return." - "Everything about this VRBO is perfect. The house was clean and comfortable. Everything you need for a getaway is right there. The outside seating and deck along with the fire pit make for perfect evenings listening to music and enjoying the view. The water access is awesome! We brought our own paddleboards and enjoyed many hours in King’s Bay viewing the beautiful manatees!! Our host was incredibly friendly and very responsive. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!"

🔴We are located on a wildlife-preserve canal in a (no-thru traffic) quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks and bike rides. Manatees, otters, birds and our personal favorite, the TURTLE, are all visitors in our canal.

**This newly renovated home is one side of a duplex and is its own home with complete privacy. We have a tall fence that separates your deck and backyard from any neighbors. The only shared space is the kayak launch at the seawall. The kitchen, appliances, bathroom, paint, flooring, lighting, furniture and even windows are all brand new!

🟢BACKYARD OASIS!!!
We have a very large 12'x 25' completely private backyard DECK where you'll enjoy a charcoal GRILL, 2 SUN LOUNGERS, table for 6, 2 fishing poles, and FISH cleaning station. Next, step down into our newly added FIRE-PIT and BOAT SLIP, KAYAKS and SHARED CANOE.
A 6' privacy fence separates you and the neighbor. One shared space is the kayak launch located in the very middle of the backyards. Everything you need to have a great time is all on this property!

🔵ATTENTION KAYAKERS - the kayak launch and ladder are located in the backyard at the seawall. During winter months or low tide you may be required to step down a ladder onto an uneven landing before getting into the kayak. In summer months and higher tides you can launch right from the ramp. We recommend water shoes and life jackets are provided.

🔵ATTENTION BOATERS The canal can be shallow in the winter and at low tide so flat bottom/pontoon boats are best. You will need to watch the tides coming in and out. The Plantation Adventure Center is the closest ramp to drop in and trailer parking is available on the vacant lot next door if needed. The boat slip is 15' long and we feel a boat can stick out of the slip another 12' without being obstructive to the canal.

We have a $100 pet fee and an additional $50 for a second pet. (max 2) We will send a separate invoice to email. We take cleaning and sanitizing the home after a pet stay seriously so our next guests can enjoy a clean space.

Guests will have access to all parts inside this home excluding the host's storage closet. Outside, guests will have access to the deck, backyard within fenced area, seawall for fishing/sightseeing and boat slip. This home is a duplex with only one shared area and that is the kayak launch which is located in the middle of both sides. Guests will have complete privacy on their own deck.

Your host, Vicki, will be available to communicate with you throughout your entire stay using the app.

Quiet, mostly retired neighborhood. No neighbors across street in front of home or across the canal in the back. Fence separates you from neighbors on either side.

CLEANING
We hope to pride ourselves in making our home safe and clean for our guests. Our expert cleaners impose a detailed process of disinfecting and sanitizing all linens and rooms after each booking. We are a pet friendly home to dogs (no cats). After a guest with a pet has checked out, extra steps are taken by our team to ensure any pet hair/smells have been eliminated. However, we cannot provide a guarantee you will not encounter evidence of this being a pet-friendly home during your stay.

PESTS
Our home is professionally sprayed for pests on a quarterly basis and we can provide this certificate to you upon request. However, we cannot guarantee you won't see a bug or insect inside the home during your stay. This property is surrounded by vast Florida wildlife that we love, and critters can find their way inside despite aggressive pest control. We recommend that you keep doors shut when not in use. And please keep screens on windows.

RECORDING DEVICES
Motion sensor recording devices are set up in two places outside the home to ensure the safety of our guests and our home. The first camera is set up near the front door and driveway, and the second is located on the back of the house near the deck and backyard.

SAFETY
Our home has a step up going into the house and a step over and down onto the back deck. There is also a step off of the deck onto the grass.

Guests will also need to step over the tub to get into the shower. In the bathroom, we have provided a grab bar (only meant to assist, NOT TO BEAR FULL WEIGHT) and non-slip shower treads.

The backyard has a seawall with a concrete sidewalk. A drop off into the canal can range from around 6 ft in the winter/low tide to only 1 ft in the summer months. CHILDREN SHOULD BE SUPERVISED in these potentially dangerous areas at all times. Please DO NOT FEED ANY WILDLIFE as this may encourage them to be aggressive. Our canal has manatee, alligator, otter, turtles etc..

- "My husband and I stayed this past weekend and we were super impressed with how clean the home was and also how convenient it was to restaurants. We brought our 26 ft offshore boat with us and it was a little tight at the dock space but nothing we couldn’t work with. Home was well stocked with everything we could need. We will definitely rent again!" - "A true delight. Vicki, our host, went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed...inside and outside. Love being by the water, watching the birds, kayakers and fish jumping. Unfortunately the mantee had left for the Gulf but apparently they come into this area when the water is colder in the Gulf. Can go wrong staying here 🌴😎🌴"

The Living Room has two futons available if needed for extra guests. Both bedrooms have TV's with Firesticks. Comfortable living room and fully equipped kitchen with dual purpose convection oven/microwave, electric oven/range, dishwasher, coffee maker, refrigerator and sink.

Wake up to the gorgeous sunrises. Enjoy your coffee while bird watching on the screened in patio. Head to The Outpost for the best breakfast in town and to grab beers for a day on the water. Spend the day fishing off the dock or tie your shallow draft boat to your private dock and head out to enjoy some of the best fishing and scalloping in Florida (Ozello is mostly shallow water so we recommend flats boats or jon boats to navigate the waters.) Clean your catch on the dock cleaning station and cook dinner on the included grill or head to some of the local haunts. Backwater Fins and Peck’s are the perfect distance for a sunset cocktail cruise on your boat. This is REAL Florida living. Bring your bug spray and a GPS and have an adventure! 3 kayaks are included in your stay!

- "exactly what we needed" - "This was a great place for our family of 3 to get away and visit the area for a few days. We enjoyed being on the property and watching the sunrise and sunset each day. We didn’t mind the drive from Crystal River or Homosassa. Both Peck’s and Backwater Fins were great places to eat and they were extremely close. Overall, it was exactly what we were looking for." - "Excellent!!" - "This property is in the Ozello Flats for prime shallow water fishing. This is NOT a place for entertaining children (unless they birdwatch or fish). That being said, it had everything we were looking for plus a great location away from most tourists and busy Crystal River/Homosassa areas. Screened in back porch area was excellent since bugs out in this area are vicious at sunrise and sunset especially. Private dock and boats were a bonus, plus fire pit and grill. Trailer home is petite but fit our family of 4 just fine. We don't need much since we are avid outdoor enthusiasts but I was pleased w/ the comfort of the bed and amenities like WiFi & TV. If you you fish, this is an upscale base camp to enjoy."

Beautiful 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 story. Enjoy relaxing on the back porch overlooking your dock. Full living room and kitchen to fix a snack, or perhaps grab a kayak or paddle board and get out on the water. When you get back walk over to or neighborhood hot spot Backwater Fins, entertainment with great food, service and spirits. A short ride up the road is a wonderful dining and tiki experience at Pecks. Visit the little shops within walking distance, or perhaps go for a short ride to downtown beautiful Crystal River. The fish are always jumping and we are just a few short minutes off your floating boat dock to the majestic Gulf of Mexico. We know you’ll love our home!

- "Thanks to the host. Excellent property. Would definitely come back. Place was clean and perfect for our family of three highly recommend. Heath T" - "We had the greatest time staying in this charming home. It was perfect for the 4 of us! We loved being on the water, ability to walk to a couple places for food, short driving distance to another great place for dinner, and of course located close to several springs! We can’t say enough about the host Sherri! She could not have been more helpful, on top of everything, always available if you had a question or needed anything. We were grateful for her and her husband for the stay at their home! We look forward to going back!"

Enjoy beautiful waterfront views and amazing wildlife from this newly remodeled waterfront gem! Located in a peaceful, secluded neighborhood just off the Salt River, this prime location allows quick access by boat to offshore/inshore fishing, scalloping grounds and waterfront restaurants in Homosassa or cut through Coon's Gap, for a short ride to Crystal River/Kings Bays.

🔵 ATTENTION KAYAKERS - We have a kayak ramp and launch making it easy to get in and out of the canal. Water shoes are recommended for your safety and life jackets are provided.

🔵ATTENTION BOATERS The BOAT SLIP for this property is located on our vacant lot next door. There are two paths out to Kings Bay, one with a small bridge that tends to be deeper and one that is more shallow with no bridge. We can help advise you on what's best for your boat. Tides high and lows may need to be watched more in winter months as the canal can get very low. Pontoons and flat bottom boats are best. We can accept boats up to 24' at absolute most. Watch out for the manatee, dolphin and turtles that love our canal!

Guests will have access to all spaces inside home and outside including private back deck, backyard, new waterfront picnic table area and shared kayak launch. Our unique home is a duplex, but backyard spaces are separated by a fence. The shared kayak launch is directly in the middle of both backyards and will be accessible to parties staying on each side of the duplex.

Please reach out with any questions or needs during your stay and I will be happy respond in a timely manner. Our hopes are that our home is safe, clean, and meets all your needs. We are confident that you will love Crystal River as much as we do!

Coveted neighborhood of Palm Springs is very quiet, safe, and mostly retired persons. No neighbors live across front of house or across backyard canal. Neighborhood is walking and biking friendly. There is a single driveway long enough for 2 cars. Boat trailer parking is available in the vacant lot next door. Further instructions will be provided at check-in.

CLEANING
We hope to pride ourself in making our home safe and clean for our guests. Our expert cleaners impose a detailed process of disinfecting and sanitizing all linens and rooms after each guests stay. 🧹🧼 Our mattresses are also fully protected. Please let us know prior to your booking if you have concerns regarding personal allergies. 😊

PEST CONTROL
In addition, our home is professionally treated for pests on a quarterly basis and we can provide you with this updated certificate upon request. We cannot however guarantee you will not see a bug or insect inside the home during your stay as this is FLORIDA! 😊. We use aggressive pest control but with our vast wildlife critters can still find their way inside. Keep doors and windows closed when not in use. Our neighborhood is often sprayed for mosquitoes and noseeums, but bring mosquito spray in case you need it.

CAMERAS
Motion sensor recording devices are set up in 2 places on the property. One is by the front door/driveway and the other is on the back of the house facing the backyard and deck. These help ensure all house rules are kept and your safety is made a priority.

SAFETY
There is one step to get into the house, a step over onto the deck through the backdoor and a step off the deck onto the backyard.
In the bathroom, guests will need to make a high step into the tub/shower and a big step down out of the shower. A grab bar, shower treads and bath mat are all provided to make the transition as safe as possible.
The seawall and canal areas of the backyard are not recommended for children to be left in unsupervised. These are potentially dangerous areas due to the height of the seawall and unforeseen wildlife. Never leave children alone outside.

ACTIVITIES
We will provide recommendations to restaurants, outdoor activities, places to shop and visit before arrival if requested. Otherwise, our "guidebook" is available to you on the listing for you to review anytime!⛱️ 🍽️ 🤿

- "The property feels brand new! It's clean, well furnished, well appointed, and in a fantastic location. We spent a day kayaking to 3-Sister's Spring (from the backyard of the proprety) and a day scalloping. I highly reccommend this property!" - "My family was looking for a quiet place on the water with easy access to the scalloping grounds of crystal river! This place was perfect! It had everything we needed and more. It was so clean when we arrived. The boat slip fit our 21 ft sportsman boat perfect, with the empty lot for parking the trailer. The owners were quick to respond to any questions we had. My family enjoyed the kayaks they had onsite for our use. It was the perfect vacation! Only thing I would note if bringing a boat is that there are some big rocks in the canal and the tide does get quite low. Our boat was fine and we managed to work around the rocks by going slow and remembering where they were. Just something to be mindful of. We will definitely be back next year!"
