We had a great stay at the Gator Cottage. Check-in was easy and the parking space was good. The 2 bedrooms provided ample space but I wish there had been hangars available in both closets, we had only four hangars. The ice maker did not work so we had to buy our own ice. Additionally, I wish we had been told about the road work/detour prior to our arrival.
We were in the area for a family wedding, the location was perfect for our needs being located between Sanford and Orlando. The cottage was clean, spacious (versus hotel room), and instructions/communication was clear.
Easy to find, nice layout and decor. It was perfect. We liked walking over to see the restaurant, the lake and the alligators! Only a little feedback for your info. The tub was not clean, for bathing.
Thank you!
Thank you for staying with us David. We hope you enjoyed your stay and look forward to hosting you again in the future. Congrats to your daughter on her big day!
Easy and quick communication. Clean place with cool scenery. Has the feel of being in the country while only being a few minutes from stores and restaurants.
The property very good. It is clean and beautiful. The host is very accommodative. We enjoyed the Airboat ride which is very near to this property. I will visit this property again and I will recommend to all my friends.
We enjoyed our stay and actually it was close to everywhere we needed to go. It was a beautiful property and very clean. Thank you again. We would definitely recommend you to others for staying in Oviedo/Orlando!
We really enjoyed our recent stay while my husband was taking a class! The property was well maintained and quiet. The house was perfect for us! Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely cottage
Joel was extremely accommodating, the rental was beautiful and we loved our stay. Although it is close to a restaurant, we did not have any issues with noise. We also had our three year old child with us but the cottage worked out great. Highly recommed.

Lovely & very clean
We only utilized this lovely cottage for sleeping & bathing while attending the Daytona 500 race week, but found the accommodations to be very well thought out and extremely comfortable. Also had a late arrival the first night & experienced a slight problem with the door code. Called Christina @ midnight and she immediately rushed over to assist. Outstanding service & responsiveness!

About the host
Hosted by Christina
Joel Martin was born in Paris, France. His family moved to Africa when he was young, and there he grew up surrounded by the magnificent wildlife. He spent a lot of his youth out in the jungles hunting snakes, alligators and other creatures. His survival skills were honed by his many African and Malgache friends. He returned to France to do his tour of duty. He chose to be in the Navy which had their base at Toulon, in the beautiful south of France. After his tour of duty was over, he settled in Corsica, where he opened a restaurant and nightclub. He also had a small ranch where he could ride his horses. After 12 years spent in Corsica, he decided to open a franchise of mini supermarkets in several ski resorts in the French Alps. The lure of the French Riviera drew Joel and family. There he went to open a real estate company. But all plans changed in 1995, when he won a green card and was allowed to emigrate to America. Without hesitation, he packed up the family and moved to the States. Joel chose Florida as he enjoys the heat and humidity, so reminiscent of his youth.
His choice of lifestyle led him to the Oviedo area where he could live in the country and keep his horse. On a morning walk one day he discovered that not 5 minutes away is the Black Hammock Restaurant, on lovely Lake Jesup, with it’s mangroves and alligators. Now he knows he is in paradise! He is at home just as he was in Africa. Joel obtained his American Citizenship, fully living out his AMERICAN DREAM! To further improve Black Hammock Adventures' air boat business Joel obtained his Master Airboat License. He, as well as all of Black Hammock's airboat pilots, have their Master Airboat Captain License.
