Great location!! We have stayed in many VRBO properties so have a few suggestions' Could have been a little more generous with basic supplies. I feel this would encourage renters to help you maintain. Kitchenware haphazard and not very clean. A simple trip to Ikea to replace old and uneven dish ware would greatly improve esthetics and function. All towels, bedding sufficient but well used. Will definitely return and recommend. Just know that property is older and marginally maintained. What makes this property is the location and the abundance of wildlife to view. Thank You
Had a great stay , very clean home and beautiful area , the wild life in the back yard was the best
Just a wonderful old Florida place. Our house was Lake Jessup waterfront. Food at the Black Hammock restaurant is great. (you must try the shrimp and grits). Captain Steve was a great air boat ride guide and gators and exotic birds are everywhere. If your looking for the other than Disney Florida vacation give Black Hammock a try. We love the place.
Abundant wildlife, spectacular sunsets and perfect weather, so we were outdoors a lot, but thoroughly enjoyed the house, too! Spacious, modern and clean, well equipped. Shopping is convenient, as well as plenty of things to do nearby. We will definitely be back. A real treasure.
Great location close enough to everything but far enough away for peace and quiet.
House was as advertised: clean, spacious, large linai, had everything we needed. Bedding was a little lumpy due to the style. The lake & small pond provided great views and beautiful sunsets . The area is a birdwatchers paradise. A book of the birds and wildlife would be helpful. We enjoyed the Black Hammock Restaurant and the airboat ride. We found other restaurants and places to shop in town which was easy to find. Great area. We would like to return another year.
First, we give Gator Den in Oviedo, Florida a good rating overall. Location was the best part of our 1 month stay at the house. Lots of wildlife and very nice lake views. Serenity. The property owner (lives next door) and the property manager were responsive when needed. Surrounding grounds were pleasant. The house is an easy walk to a rustic lakeside complex featuring a mini-zoo showing gators and birds that also boasts a nice tavern with ecent food and a relaxing outside bar area. We enjoyed seeing many gators and birds on the little marina's popular air boat ride on the lake and through some marshes. House HVAC mechanical sytems operate well but we changed the filthy furnace air filter because it was long overdue and covered in smelly mold. All electrical and plumbing worked well. Linens were plentiful. Bedding OK. Owner is in process of renovating the house. New kitchen and master bathroom are very good. More new furniture (especially for the screened-in porch) is needed and a fresh coat of paint will further improve the comfort and appeal of this rental house. Attention to detail to correct a few issues would allow us to rate it 5 stars. To do: several screen repairs, dryer vent repair, paint the interior (even the garage), and spruce up landscaping. Owner should provide a vacuum cleaner and basic cleaning supplies! We bought a cheap grill since there wasn't one offered. We weren't in sync with owner's decision not to provide a remote garage door opener. Apparently they dissappear so none offered. We really enjoyed our stay at Gator Den and would probably return if these inexpensive to-do items were fixed and the daily price stays the same.
We loved our stay at Gator Den! It’s so beautiful and it’s located down a long private driveway backing up to a lake. We will be back!
Listing is very accurate and the place was everything we needed. Property manager was very accommodating for us extending our stay.
We greatly enjoyed staying at this property. It was exactly what we were looking for in terms of size and location. It was very close to the grocery stores, and backed up to the lake of course. (By the way, you cannot swim in this lake) We did go to the Black Hammock boat tour, I believe our tour guide was Sam, she was fantastic and extremely hospitable. We told her we were staying next door at the home and she took some time to show us things that she's noticed that we may be able to see while we're staying at the property. Our kids thought they were going to hate the boat tour because they don't like sitting through boat tours usually, but they LOVED this one. (Highly recommend it) We would like to back in the spring when the season is better to see more alligators, but nonetheless, we were very happy about how beautifully landscaped this property is. It is close to town, and yet slightly off the beaten path so that you feel secluded and have privacy, no concerns for safety or crime. The only thing that I would have done differently is brought more blankets and towels because in terms of linens, there weren't much other than the bare, bare, necessities (that we found at least, maybe we missed them...) when we stayed. Other than that, and the fact that the gate, when exiting seemed to be a little tricky, you have to drive slowly up to it in order for it to open, so you can exit the property, but overall, we were very happy campers here and certainly plan to go back in the future when we visit our family in Oviedo.
