What linens are furnished ?

Yes, all bed linens as well as bath, and kitchen towels are furnished.

How likely am I to get ate by an alligator ?

You have a better chance at getting killed by a falling star - truly! than you are to get bit by a 'gator - we're not on their diet and

they are not aggressive as a Crock, and they don't live here!

What's fishing like there ?

Bring your fishing' rods and choose between fishing off the island, from the dock or make arrangements with one of the local

fishing guides that come highly recommended for an exciting afternoon of one our favorite past times. Trout, flounder, stingray,

black and red drum and more have been caught from our dock with bait from the shop about a Block from the house. 

Record tarpon and reds have been reeled in close by. Blue Crabs off the Dock. I supply the Crab Traps, you get the chicken

necks( bait), and eat your Blue crab catch.

Does the kitchen have a blender ?

Yep, and that's not all - both upper and lower units of Ozello Keys and both LaPond Vacation Units are each equipped with a

Yes, pets up to 20 lbs are welcome at a modest fee. Wide varieties of wildlife can be found on the island ...

and for the safety and well being of all (your pets, and wildlife) we ask that your pet be contained
