Backwater Bungalow Sleeps 8 Kayaks+ Dock+ Fire Pit
Welcome to The Backwater Bungalow, your peaceful waterfront escape tucked away in the quiet backwaters of Ozello, Florida.

Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated with a bright, coastal feel. You’ll find an open living space with large windows, a fully equipped kitchen, and comfortable bedrooms designed for unwinding after a day on the water.
Step outside and you’ll see what makes this place special:
Private waterfront access with dock
Spacious deck perfect for morning coffee or sunset drinks
Fire pit area for evenings under the stars
Kayaks included for exploring the surrounding waterways
Downstairs offers a fun open-air space with large slide-up doors on both sides, a game area and plenty of room to store your gear after a day outdoors.
Whether you're here to fish, kayak, scallop, or simply disconnect, The Backwater Bungalow is your laid-back Florida getaway.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and has a washing machine.
