Welcome to your peaceful oasis, TheeNest, a hidden paradise
The Nest, nestled on a serene canal that flows gracefully into the Gulf, is a tranquil oasis in the small, peaceful water community of Ozello. With 1 queen size bed and 1 sofa bed, itâs a perfect retreat for relaxation. Enjoy the soothing air-conditioned porch, where birdwatchers can revel in breathtaking views. This is a paradise for fishing, hiking, scalloping, and a dream come true for kayakers, with 2 single kayaks ready to launch from our ramp. Small boats with trailers are welcome to park on the property, with access to two community boat ramps and a marina just minutes away. Grill your day's catch on our gas or charcoal grill and embrace the simple joys of nature.
Kimberley was very kind and helpful and the house is beautiful, just like the photos show. My guys loved being able to fish and kayak right out of the backyard. The kitchen was well-equipped and the bed was very comfortable. Even the neighbors were friendly!
My husband and I loved this place. It was very clean and check in was a breeze. We came to the area to snorkel with the manatees and to relax. This was a perfect place to relax. We enjoyed fishing in their backyard. The Backwater Fin restaurant Kim recommended was very good.
We loved sharing this unique home and its unique location. We will be happy to return in the future. Back Water Fins is a great place to have food just down the road.
Thank you. Much appreciated

This is a great little place away from town, peaceful & quiet. The screened side porch is the perfect spot for dinner or just relaxing. We enjoyed grilling seafood from the local market...kayaking...swimming with the manatee... and visiting Three Sisters Springs. This is old Florida at it's best!
The Nest is a perfect place for some rest and relaxation! Conveniently located to everything you may need but just off the beaten path enough to feel like youâre isolated. If youâre looking to do some Crystal River activities youâre only 25 mins away. The host was super accommodating and the house itself was great! Very clean and had everything we needed! We kayaked and fished right from the yard. The enclosed sunroom was fabulous! Would definitely stay here again! Thanks for letting us escape to your little spot in paradise.
Excellent base of operations to enjoy the ecosystem
The rental is ideally located for a relaxing environment-oriented trip...quiet and dark at night while close to everything in the day. The canal in the back yard safely and easily leads a kayaker to big water. Go to the Community Park at the end of Ozello Road to boat or kayak--the water is crystal clear. If you don't have a good time staying here, you're just not trying!
From the moment that we drove up to the Nest we felt that we had made the right decision in staying here, from the kayaks to the dock area to the sitting area under the house it was all perfectly set up. The interior was clean with all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay. The enclosed porch to relax in the Ac or the outside eating area upstairs gave us options for dinner daily. The host communicated promptly with any requests or questions. We will return to this vacation spot for sure. Overall, it was an amazing time to celebrate our 42nd anniversary. Blessings.
We loved staying at your Nest in Ozello! It was such a beautiful home and very accommodating! It was just what we needed. It was beautifully decorated and so clean We enjoyed kayaking in the canals and sitting out in the patio. A blue bird welcomed us the 1st few mornings of our stay. Me & my husband are from East Tennessee area but I was born in Inverness. We enjoyed our stay so much and we plan on coming back! Our favorite restaurant was Waterfront Social. The neighbor recommended it to us. Thank u so much for all the extras like the coffee k-cups and the bug spray really helped.
Where to begin?! Our trip was amazing! The the property was very clean and very welcoming. The beds were extremely comfortable! There was so little extra things that she included like cooking oil and seasonings tea and coffee and so much more! Our son loved staying on the water. Whenever we weren't out exploring the area he was fishing from the shore. He caught catfish, Blue Crabs even a stingray! We loved using The kayaks that she provided for exploring the marsh around the property. We had such a great time!
My wife & I celebrated our 30 year wedding anniversary in early May at Thee Nest. We were very impressed with how clean it was, how our every need was well thought of and we especially enjoyed the quiet location with plenty of places, indoor and out, to rest and relax. The owners thoughtfully had Keurig coffee cups ready for us to use as well as creamer and sugar. There was a nice sampling of teas in the pantry should we want to enjoy a cup of hot tea on the porch. A favorite was the beautifully and comfortably furnished enclosed porch (a refuge from the bugs) where we did our morning stretching routine, enjoyed our coffee or hot tea, read, napped or just hung out together. The Nest was thoughtfully & beautifully appointed. We felt welcomed and comfortable. By the way, if you're an outdoor person, this is the place to be! We loved paddling on the "Chaz" where we saw springs, manatees, all kinds of water birds and other wildlife....a true nature lover's paradise! We heartily recommend The Nest! One of our favorite places to enjoy the old world Florida vibes!
Our stay was wonderful. Would definitely recommend to everyone. The host is very informative and accommodating. The home is so cozy and inviting and well equipped to feel like home.
Great location for fishing. Near two boat launches. Can easily launch a small kayak from the property. Nicely decorated home with plenty of room for two. Lovely sunroom with water view. Enjoyed the outdoor deck, especially in the evening. Great location for star gazing. Very peaceful location yet not too far from town.
Great place to stay, had everything you needed to enjoy your stay. The stairs were a challenge for folks in their 80âs. But we pushed on and had a great week. Five Stars all day!
This was a great property. Lovely clean house, great spot on the water with kayaks! The one queen bed was soft, but there was no other place to sleep besides a couch that didn't pull out or a really small futon. If you and the person you are going with are cool to share a bed then this place is perfect.
This is a quaint small house with lots of waterviews. Very large comfortable back sunroom with marsh and beach views. House is close enough to town and restaurants, and the local state parks and attractions.
Although this property is out in the country/swamp, it was very clean and very quiet. About a 5 mile drive back into the Crystal River area. This place was perfect for a couple. We had plenty of room and parking under the house. The weather was a little too cool to kayak but if warmer that may have been an option. Short drives to Crystal River, Homosassa Springs, and Weeki Wachee Springs. I would stay here again!!!!!! Crumps at Homosassa was a great place for waterfront dining & drinks. Highly recommend this house! Well equipped with wifi and a nice TV.
We enjoyed our stay immensely. We are avid fishermen so it suited us perfectly. Drawback was that the main bedroom's bed could sleep two if it was a couple, but fishermen don't usually sleep together. Fortunately we did bring a folding matress so we were good. Could not find a toaster, but kurig was great and coffee supply well stocked. Place was super clean and very cute.
