Loved the location of this property so close to Lake Jessup. Beautiful old growth-old Florida feel. That said, the house was disappointing. While it has potential - it was light and bright with lots of windows for the size of the house - virtually everything was old and dirty and worn. The floors were literally filthy. I swept them twice and got tons of old dog hair, dust and grit. Then I mopped them, but could have mopped several more times to get them really clean. To be fair, the street and driveway are unpaved, so it’s almost impossible not to track in black grit. Still, regular sweeping and mopping would go a long way. The beds were clean and relatively comfortable. The amenities were scarce; one full roll of toilet paper for a 15-day stay. Bath towels were provided but no rug or bath mat. The medicine cabinet had a broken shelf which my husband fixed. The toilet seat was loose but the owners did send a handyman to fix it. He would also have fixed the medicine cabinet, but our question is why wasn’t everything checked between tenants? The kitchen looked clean but we cleaned all the surfaces anyway. The house has a full kitchen, but the electric stove has loose burners. There is no dishwasher; not a complaint, just an observation. The washer and dryer worked fine but the laundry room was dirty. The plastic shelves would have had to be cleaned before any laundry could be placed on them. Bottom line, the house could be great but owners don’t seem to care.
Upon entering the property you are greeted by the overwhelming smell of smoke. The Welcome binder is falling apart. The couch has no support and is very dated. The floors are completely filthy. I took a video of a cloth wiped across them and sent it to the property manager. I offered to clean the floors if they brought supplies. They dropped off a standard bucket and old fashion mop with no actual cleaning solution. She tried to say that maybe the maintenance crew dragged in dirt. The floor had clearly not been cleaned in months. There were 3 of us that rented the house for 2 weeks. And there was 1 full size bath towel. I did contact the property manager and she brought 4 towels to the house. The beds are extremely uncomfortable and need to be replaced. If I could have left and received a refund, I would have immediately left. Unfortunately, the property stated no refunds. I am sure that is because once you arrive, you are going to want to leave. I have always had positive experiences with VRBO. I am now second guessing my choice to use them as my “go to” for travel stays. It was a complete disappointment and waste of my over $2,000. I am wondering if VRBO has any quality controls and how they would continue to have a relationship with this property. It is zero stars.
This is our second time staying. We truly love this place. It is a in a great location. There is great communication from the property management.
Enjoyed very nicely kept home. Loved the quiet, peaceful location. Enjoyed our stay & would definitely use again.
We absolutely enjoyed our stay in The Gator Lodge. Our stay lasted about 3 weeks while we were waiting to close on our home. Everything was so convenient and easily accessible. The home had everything we needed to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Most importantly, thank you so much for making accommodations for our pets! We sincerely appreciate your kindness.
It was comfortable and convenient to many things. Great response from host.
Rented this to have somewhere to sleep for the rockville festival with turned out to be a fail so we went air boating and ate some alligator at the local restaurant, house is clean in the perfect location and neighbors are awesome too would recommend
Overall my stay was good. The only things I ddnt like was that it was a sour smell to the water n the towels in the bedroom weren’t clean. Also, there isn’t any tvs in the rooms. I loved the egg hunt for the kids and gator feeding. Neighborhood was quiet n only 20 minutes from Orlando n one hour from Daytona beach.
Not a fancy property, do not have high expectations. Having said that, the owners were very nice and efficient. There was a bit of an odor, especially in the room with the washer and dryer. There was not a proper door for the bathroom, it was a piece of wood with a bolt on it. The kitchen, bedrooms, TV, bathroom were all functional. It is a bit remote and dark to drive to at night, so you should have good night vision. Nearby restaurant was pretty good, unique, (alligator tacos.)
As described and in pictures, great, loved the location near the Black Hammock restaurant and bar, I would suggest guests know the TV is antenna reception only, bring a wifi enabled device like a Firestick for your own TV viewing. Thank you, Jim Maguire
We loved staying at this incredibly nice VRBO in Oviedo! It was within walking distance of the Black Hammock - I totally recommend everyone staying here walk over and check it out. The VRBO was clean and check in and out processes were easy to navigate. It was also no more than 30 minutes away from anything we wanted to do in Orlando, Sanford, and Oviedo. You will not regret staying here - we will be back!
