Bright, Clean and Cozy Coastal Cottage in Ozona

Discover Old Florida Charm with Modern Luxury in Ozona

Escape to a hidden gem in Palm Harbor’s charming village of Ozona, where Gulf sunsets drape the horizon in gold and whispers of pine and sea salt drift through the air. This newly renovated 2021 “Old Florida” fishing home captures the romance of a bygone era while offering bright, contemporary interiors that invite rest, recreation, and effortless entertaining. It’s more than a place to stay—it’s a doorway to slow mornings on a sunlit porch, evenings filled with laughter around a shared meal, and adventures that begin just steps from the door.

Adventure at Your Doorstep

Begin your days in Ozona with ease and classic Florida flair. Within a short stroll, you’ll discover a curated array of highly rated restaurants and welcoming pubs, perfect for savoring fresh seafood, craft cocktails, and satisfying bites after a day on the water. For those seeking active exploration, the famous Pinellas Trail awaits—an inviting corridor for biking or walking that threads through scenic landscapes, revealing glimpses of bays, mangroves, and charming neighborhoods. The magical coastline is even closer than you might think: Honeymoon Island’s pristine beaches are reachable by a pleasant stroll or short bike ride, offering powdery sand and turquoise seas ideal for sunbathing, shell collecting, and quiet reflection.

If you crave a livelier scene, Clearwater Beach is a short drive away, offering vibrant eateries, boutique shopping, and a festive seaside atmosphere. For anglers and water lovers, the area boasts convenient boat ramps and some of the region’s best fishing spots, ensuring memorable days on the water. A nostalgic touch of Ozona’s character comes with a walk to the Jolly Trolley, a short stroll from the property, where a ride to beaches and shops costs just $2.25 for adults with free rides for children—a playful, retro convenience that adds to the area’s charm. For travelers arriving by air, Tampa International Airport sits about 19 miles away, making airport transfers quick and straightforward.

Comfort Meets Convenience

Designed to welcome six to seven guests in comfort and style, the home features thoughtfully refreshed spaces that honor its historic roots while embracing light-filled, modern livability. Each room balances character with contemporary touches—soft textures, coastal palettes, and practical layouts that invite conversation, movie nights, or peaceful quiet moments with a book. The sleeping arrangements are versatile and inviting, ensuring restful nights after days filled with exploration and sunshine.

If boating or kayaking is on the agenda, there is ample space for a boat trailer and easy access to nearby launches. The community is golf-cart friendly, encouraging a relaxed pace and the chance to explore the village and surrounding neighborhoods without undo haste. Guests can easily arrange nearby boat and kayak rentals for hands-on coastal adventures, from mangrove excursions to shoreline exploration, enhancing the sense of immersion in this water-loving region.

Explore Like a Local

Ozona is a postcard come to life—a quaint village framed by water, nature, and a friendly, neighborhood feel. Nestled among a mix of single- and multi-family homes, the area exudes charm and accessibility. Getting around is simple: the Pinellas Trail invites cross-county exploration from Tarpon Springs to St. Petersburg, while ride-sharing, bike rentals, and car rentals provide flexible options for shorter trips or spontaneous adventures. Proximity to parks, beaches, and waterfront dining means each day offers new possibilities, from tranquil coastal strolls to lively evenings in nearby towns.

Experience the best of both worlds—a peaceful retreat that doesn’t sacrifice access to Florida’s most exciting attractions. This home is an ideal base for families, couples, or small groups who value character-rich living, modern comforts, and a location that makes every day feel like a getaway. Whether it’s a quiet morning on the porch, a day spent exploring trails and beaches, or a night out sampling local cuisine, Ozona offers a balanced, memorable escape.

Very clean and comfortable as stated

The house was VERY clean and in a good location for our needs. We had a couple issues with people mistaking our unit for another unit they rented due to poor markings. The host was very helpful in responding to our issues. The bathroom of the unit could not accommodate a large person due to it's size, but we were fine. Overall a good stay!

Great memorial Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend in his nice place, easy and convenient location which is close to everything, including the state park Honeymoon Island beach. It is also 5 minutes from a delicious seafood restaurants, like Ozone blue Grill and Frenchy's seafood. He kept in touch with us if anything came up, but it wasn't really necessary. Thank you!

Great little house for kids

We absolutely loved this property. It was great for kids with the large fenced in yard. The rooms and furniture were perfect for us. And having a full kitchen with an ice maker was a game chnager. It was close to the beach and had the cutest homemade ice cream shop within a five minute walk. I have recommended this place and the other units to many people already and will definately be back when needed.

Clean,spacious,central to fun restaurants/town

We were very comfortable in this clean and comfortable house. Everything worked well. Beds comfortable. We had extra family stay a few nights and they were comfy too. It’s walking and central to Ozona and Palm Harbor restaurants. Bike path in back yard. Starchans ice cream at the end of street. The location is directly accross from USPS so there was to be expected occasional noise. Nothing that kept us awake.

Palm Harbor weekend get away

Cottage was very clean and roomy. Location was near a US post office so did hear trucks in the morning but was manageable. The door was a keypad and no way to ensure locked from inside - when you tried the handle from inside the door opened. Side door was the same concept. Had to hit the exterior lock button and quickly shutdoor.Would have appreciate a deadbolt that worked - just extra comfort -as one night someone staying at unit next door was trying to get in at my door not realizing was at wrong door. I knew locks were working as he could not get in and was an innocent mistake, The extra lock would add an extra level of ease for tenant.
