Twin Heron Hideaway

Wake up on Florida’s Nature Coast at 2247 S Waterman Drive, on the Ozello Trail, just minutes from the Manatee Capital of the World, Crystal River. This bright and comfortable 3-bedroom retreat is just minutes from the manatees, springs, and wild coastal beauty that make Crystal River famous. This home is ideally positioned for easy day trips down the legendary Ozello Trail, where twisting roads, salt marsh views, and old Florida fishing villages lead you straight to the Gulf. Step into an airy, open-concept living space that makes it easy for everyone to relax after a day on the water, with plenty of comfortable seating for games, movies, or planning tomorrow’s adventure. The home offers three cozy bedrooms and two full bathrooms, giving families, couples, or small groups room to spread out without feeling crowded. A well-equipped kitchen lets you cook your fresh catch or a big family breakfast, then gather around the dining table for long conversations and trip planning. Central air conditioning and room-specific mini splits keep the home comfortable year-round, whether you’re visiting for winter manatee season or a summer getaway. Step into a true outdoor hangout zone in the backyard, where you’ll have direct access to a peaceful deep water canal, perfect for launching kayaks, bringing the boat, casting a line, or simply watching the water. After a day of exploring, sink into the hot tub under the open sky, then move over to the fire pit area to roast marshmallows and swap stories late into the night. A covered patio sets the stage for grilling, chilling, and playing yard games, so the fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. This is the kind of backyard where families and friends naturally gather and make their favorite memories of the trip. This entire home is for guest use minus a few locked closets for owner storage. We are available by phone, text, email. We have area staff also to assist when needed. Evenings around Ozello Trail and Crystal River have a laid‑back, old‑Florida vibe, where sunset drives over winding marsh roads, casual waterfront seafood shacks, and the glow of stilt houses over the water set the scene. After a day on the springs or with the manatees, you can cruise Ozello Trail as the sky turns pink and orange, stop for fresh local seafood and a cold drink, and maybe catch some live music before heading back to your quiet neighborhood retreat. It’s more stars, campfires, and card games than big crowds—perfect for relaxed date nights, family hangs on the patio, and unwinding after a full day of adventure.
