"Terrible. Ended up spending another $1,600 last minute to stay elsewhere. This is not an air bnb or anything similar. It’s is one child size bedroom in a rude old lady’s house. It is intentional false advertising. The “shared bathroom” clause is supposed to have you assume you will be sharing the place with the elderly woman that lives there and whatever guests she has in another room. She called us that day and corrected our grammar and was very rude. Upon arrival, we walked past a living area...

Waterfront seclusion on the Ozello islands

10/10 Excellent

"This was a slice of "Old Florida" paradise - a relatively short distance away. We loved the location and had a wonderful stay. The location was perfect for scallop season; and, we also enjoyed the small town feel of Ozello. Our host communicated clearly and worked with us before the stay - as I had questions. There was ample space; and things were very clean."
