9 year old describing it Super duper duper awesome! House was great for 2 families of four with kids in the double queen room. Place had all kinds of stuff to do and use, great outdoor setup. Amazing view and sunsets. Great spot for beginner kayakers, bring water shoes for getting in and out. Bottom suite you do have to go outside to access from main area. Hosts had fantastic communication and were very helpful. Highly recommend.

The house was beautiful inside and out with lots of amenities and wonderful hosts. Every day was filled with excitement. We went kayaking, canoeing and fishing on the gulf. Loved eating fresh fish caught right off the dock. We spent a day explored the many beaches nearby. Enjoyed our visit to Tarpon Springs shopping, dining and exploring the Sponge Docks. We went to the mermaid show and also took the private boat tour thru the Weeki Wachee Spring enjoying boating, swimming and watching the manatees. Some of our crew even braved spending another day exploring the springs on their own. Every night we watched the most beautiful sunset. A great time was had by all

We had the pleasure of spending a long weekend at Osowaw Oasis and it was fantastic. First off the hosts, Kelly and Dave, were extremely helpful and prompt in answering my questions about the property and surrounding area. The house and overall property were perfect. Tons of outdoor space with great toys (Kayaks, canoe, fishing gear, cornhole, foosball, firepit, outdoor shower etc.) with a huge covered pavilion (with a TV) to provide plenty of shade. The house is right on the gulf and provided some of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen. The home was cozy and well appointed with all you would need for your stay. Beds were cozy and the back porch provided the perfect view of the breathtaking sunsets prefect for enjoying a cocktail or beverage of choice while relaxing and watching the wildlife. We had a pod of manatee right off the dock playing on several nights and kayaking a little into the gulf we got to interact with several dolphin. Best time to go is mid/late evening. Also plenty of birds roosting among the tall pine trees. If you are looking for a place to stay in the Weekie Wachee / Springhill area you must check out Osowaw Oasis. It will not disappoint!!

Stunning sunsets, great property layout, super convenient, yet peaceful location, very clean, well-appointed home, tastefully decorated, comfortable beds and linens, awesome host!! We had a wonderful experience at this beautiful property! Our host, Dave, was very helpful and responsive; made great recommendations for fishing charter, river boating, beaches, restaurants, local amenities... Great location: Publix and Walmart less than 10 minutes away. Weeki Wachee attractions, river kayaking, bait shop, fishing charter, cute beach shop, public pickleball courts, less than 20 minutes away. Awesome family beach- Pine Island, less than 30 minutes away. The traffic in the area was surprisingly pleasant! Easy to get to local amenities. We visited Clearwater Beach on a weekday. The drive was easy and we only encountered traffic as we got closer to the bridge. Which is normal. We LOVED this property!! Had fun watching the outdoor TV and playing foosball while grilling the fish that we caught for dinner! Snook, red drum, sea trout- the fishing was awesome in April! Tarpon are coming in May! Excellent grill/outdoor entertainment area! Large tables seat the whole family. Plus extra fridge in the laundry room area on the ground floor very convenient! Nice fishing poles, cast net to use. LOVED the dock + beach area! Both were great for launching the kayaks. LOVED kayaking amongst the mangroves with full sunset view of the Gulf of Mexico! LOVED the fire pit! Will return!

This property was absolutely gorgeous. We stayed the month of March 2024 for a break from Wisconsin winter. As a long term rental we can say the beds were comfortable! The home is nicely maintained & decorated. Every day we spent out time watching wildlife! Many species of birds, dolphins and even an alligator! Most enjoyable were the magnificent sunsets! The area is convenient to stores, restaurants and breweries. We found every thing we needed & more. Dave & Kelly were wonderful hosts. We are planning our trip for next year!

This home was the perfect, serene spot for our family and dogs; even despite the unfavorable weather. The scenery is magnificent. The grounds and views made the weather a second thought. The owners are extremely attentive and personable. Perfect for dogs and water sport frolicking. We will return for sure!
