We had a great stay for a large group. Rented 2 of the houses next to each other and it was perfect for us. The host was very responsive. Would most definitely rent this again.
This 5-star Vrbo stay was absolutely fantastic! The home was spotless, well-equipped, and perfectly located for our girls trip. The host provided clear check-in instructions, ensuring we felt welcomed and comfortable throughout our stay. Highly recommended and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.
This is a great spot. It’s quiet and out in the country but you can quickly be to downtown Oviedo.and it’s about a half from the airport. There is a nice restaurant and bar not too far away about a five minute walk Lake Jesup is beautiful. You can catch an airboat ride or go over hiking at the lake Jesup conservation area trailhead about 5 miles away.
Gator Palace was comfortable and provided a great combination of space for shared family time and privacy for adults traveling together. More towels and more cups/ glasses would be appreciated.
Everything was as perfect as it seemed online. The flat is just perfect! Kitchen is compact and contains everything one needs. The beds are comfortable; bathroom and terrace are excellent. Location is incredible.(Joel) He went way beyond to make our long-weekend comfortable and memorable.
We had a good stay at the Gator Palace. As others have said, make sure to to check sunsets at the Lazy Gator Bar. We ate at the Black Hammock Restaurant, and Anna's Polish Restaurant in Winter Park. The Black Hammock was good, but Anna's was excellent!

Thank you for staying with us Scott. We are glad you enjoyed your stay! We hope you'll join us again in the future.
This place was perfect! Exactly as pictured - even better!! We stayed for a family wedding and could not be happier with the size and layout of the house and the property location in regards to all major attractions in Central Florida! The place was immaculate and well-stocked! The rooms were very comfortable and big - the many bathrooms were so nice. Next door is a gator attraction with a pub and gift shop - highly highly recommend - especially the boat tours!! We would DEFINITELY stay here again!
We stayed at the gator palace and used our gator tags to hunt. Right by the ramp we went out and got two good size gators. House was great, host was great, very relaxing time.

Thank you for staying with us Jared. Congrats on your big catches! We hope you will consider staying with us again in the future.
The house was perfect for our overflow family much better than multiple hotel rooms we were celebrating a military retirement so it enabled the family a place to stay when not at the event. The layout is perfect and accommodating. Thank you
Rented for my wedding party since we’re from out of town. It was just what we needed. Nice house, no traffic noises, good amount of rooms.

This review is actually for Gator Manor, as we upgraded prior to our stay. The property managers were so flexible in helping us do so, and were so gracious in providing accommodations for me and my family. We were able to host a small gathering for family during my wedding weekend, and got so many compliments on the property. It is truly a beautiful house and highly recommend to those who need to host larger family gatherings.
We had family in town to celebrate our daughter’s Doctorate graduations. This house was a fantastic place for us all to gather. The spacious house and nice layout was perfect. We had multiple elderly relatives with us so the bedrooms all being in the first floor was perfect for us! It was conveniently located near the restaurant and the air boat rides…we took advantage of both.
This gem was portrayed very accurately in the listing. The house was very spacious and clean. Our two grandsons loved sleeping in the loft away from the adults. The area was very quiet and peaceful with grocery store and shopping close by. We were there in March and my only concern was lowest temp for AC was 74, might be a bit warm in the summer, but ceiling fans in every room was very helpful. This home would comfortably sleep 12 people, loved it.
