Old Florida is right
This was a wonderful place to enjoy the wildlife and beautiful sunsets after a busy day. It is a funky older home, as the pictures show. Waking up to herons directly outside the dining area was a daily pleasure. The patrons of the bar and restaurant ebbed and flowed, but never disturbed our sleep. The beds were extremely comfortable as well. Christina was very helpful whenever we had a question. Oviedo is a convenient distance from Orlando and the Atlantic coast, and we found a great barbecue joint near the roundabout. We highly recommend the Gator Hole if a little "Old Florida" appeals to you.

August 2022
The Property was older and rustic, but we knew that before renting. The cabin was not cleaned before our arrival. A call into Christine and she had someone there within 30 minutes to clean the place up. It looked like someone had started to clean it but left in the middle of it. Christine had the owner of the resort buy us a round of beverages at the Gator Bar about 50 feet from the cabin door. Everyone was super nice and the cleaning lady that came to clean was super and quick. The owner wife came by and was very apologetic that the place was not cleaned. The cabin is comfortable, we saw much wildlife from birds, geckos to small alligators in the water just outside the dinner table windows. The food at the restaurant and beverages at the bar were fantastic. Other than the hiccup at the beginning of our stay, we had a great vacation, and the cabin was a hit for the entire family. Again, communication with property management was amazing.
