Family Weekend

Great house for my siblings and I to stay while visiting our parents. Plenty of room, comfortable beds and comfortable furniture. It was nice for each of us to have our own bedroom with bathroom. Good communication with owner as well. Very reasonable price was nice.

Gator Mansion - The Perfect Stay for a Large Group

Our 12-person crew had an absolutely fantastic stay at Gator Mansion! This six-bedroom, five-bath beauty had more than enough space to comfortably support all of us—no one ever felt cramped or short on room. The layout was ideal, and the A/C was a total lifesaver—cool and crisp on both floors, even in that signature hot and humid Central Florida weather.The kitchen was a dream for our group meals—fully stocked with everything we needed to whip up breakfast and dinner with ease. Every bathroom was clean, well-kept, and super convenient for such a large group. No waiting in line, no awkward scheduling—just smooth sailing.We also brought a couple of furry friends along, and the property was spacious enough to give them some great little walks and outdoor time, which we really appreciated.Highly recommend Gator Mansion if you’re rolling deep and want comfort, space, and cool vibes all under one roof. We’d definitely stay here again!

Great House

My family came to Florida for my nephews graduation in Orlando. It was a great house. We loved the Black Hammock and the airboat ride. My whole family loved the Gator Mansion.

Review

We truly enjoyed our stay. There was ample amounts of space in the homes as well as enough equipment (kitchen) needed for our time there. Big thanks to Christina for her assistance, answering the phone, getting back to us promptly and just being readily available at anytime to make sure we were good. Much appreciated.

Family Wedding Trip

This was a perfect fit for our large extended family. By renting this home and the 2-bedroom guest cottage next door there was plenty of beds and bathrooms for all. Location was perfect for the Wedding we were attending in Sanford and the other activities in Oviedo. Plus, it was only about a half hour drive to the Orlando Airport and Sea World. House was very clean and comfortable. We ate at the restaurant and also went on the Airboat ride which are adjacent. Would fully recommend.

Lovely Home with Ample Space for Family

We recently stayed at this property and had a pleasant experience overall. The house is spacious and comfortably accommodated our family members. The layout is great for spending quality time together, and the amenities provided were sufficient for our needs. There were a few minor issues we encountered during our stay. Upon arrival, we noticed that the couch was broken and a wall plate in one of the upstairs bedrooms was damaged. We promptly notified the property manager about these issues, and they were responsive to our concerns. Additionally, there was some dirt under the furniture, which we believe is something the property manager can address with the cleaning team. On the morning of our checkout, there was an unfortunate mix-up with the checkout date, and the alarm was accidentally set, waking us up at 7 am. While this was inconvenient, we understand that mistakes happen and appreciated the property manager’s attentiveness. Despite these hiccups, the property served as a wonderful home base for our family getaway, and we would recommend it to others.

Bring Your Toiletries

While this house was in a good location with nice bedroom and en-suite accommodations, it lacked soap. The only soap to be found was dish soap in the kitchen. No soap at sinks and no soap in showers. Our bedroom had a shower with double vanities and there was only one washcloth and two hand towels and bath towels (for a five night stay). We had to go to Walmart about 15 minutes away to get laundry soap to wash towels and hand soap for bathroom sinks. I realize this is Florida, but the house was full of bugs as well. “Love Bugs” all over and one toilet had a floating cockroach. We did not complain or call the owner as we understand these things are hard to control. Maybe a quick vacuum right before your next guest’s arrival might have been a good idea. Also, other than toilet paper, there were no paper products. No tissues and no paper towels. Strongly recommend bringing those items with you if you require them for your stay. Very nice house in a good location. It was as described.

Great House to Accommodate Large Family

We rented this house and the adjacent cottage for a recent family event in the area. We had a total of 13 people ranging in age from one to ninety. Everyone was very comfortably accommodated. The houses are comfortably and thoughtfully furnished. Communication with the host was easy. I highly recommend this rental for anyone with a large group to accommodate.

Weekend stay

The property was a little way off a main road so it was quiet but a bit secluded. The lower level was an open living, dining, kitchen with 2 bedrooms and bath. Upper level had 4 bedrooms 2 with their own bathroom and 2 with a shared bath. If toy have a large group that needs to get ready for an event at the same time it works well. The beds were ok and the pillows were just awful, bring your own if you can. There was one very large TV with local channels in the living area. Parking was limited to 4 vehicles. The property was fine for a short stay.

Great house for large groups

We checked in for a week for a family wedding close by. We had the mansion and cottage ! Great house! Just bring more starter items Dish soap Washer soap Hand soap Garbage bags It has a very limited supply 2 of each We asked for a few more towels and they brought some so that was great We were from Canada so can’t bring those items And just an added thing to do on first days of arrival Some confusion VRBO had a weekly rate advertised but was told they don’t do weekly rates. Overall fantastic stay and would recommend and go back We also did the airboat rides and had a private event in the bar. Service was amazing !

Communication was excellent!

Need to hire a cleaning company that actually clean. Walls were badly scuffed. A few Bathroom towels were stained. The few small rugs were dirty, especially the bathroom rug. Sooo…Grateful for the washer and dry. I love the style of the home, just wish the rooms had televisions.

Awesome stay for large group!

The property is in excellent condition and accurately described. A perfect place for large family gatherings. Property management communications were absolutely outstanding. This property would be on fire if it had a backyard entertaining area. But if you’re looking for a great place to gather and just stay the night at it is absolutely the right place, we felt very safe and comfortable!

Just what we needed.

The house was quite comfortable and suited our needs very well. I was a little annoyed at the nickle and dime fees. One for extra parking spots. Our family rented both properties. There was no need for the extra fee.
