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.

This elevated coastal cottage is all about relaxation, nature, and simple coastal living. Wake up to water views, sip coffee on the oversized deck, and spend your days kayaking through calm backwater canals right from your backyard.

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.
