Quiet and cozy

We enjoyed our stay in this simple and spacious rental. It had a few flaws but nothing a normal house wouldn’t have. We wanted quiet, check. Wanted space, check. Wanted a nice view of water without paying too much, check check. It’s older but has some updates. I’d replace the wood panel but at the same time it brings old world charm, which I kinda liked. In all, we were happy.

Adequate at best

Pictures can be very deceiving. It looks like a clean airy home away from home but in reality it felt dirty (we wouldn’t go barefoot) Upon arrival we were greeted with a stale urine scent. There were large dust bunnies found in hallway and family room. It’s in desperate need of painting and updating. We had 1 wash cloth for 4 people to share. And 1 towel each. There were no extra linens at all. No dressers so you have to leave your clothes in your suitcase. When turning on the sinks in the extra bath, they spray everywhere and the shower was 1/3 shower spray and 2/3 bathtub flow. No way for full shower flow. We were under the impression that there was a swimming pool but there isn’t. And maybe a small thing but the various chairs on the patio were all willy nilly. Not welcoming at all. We rearranged them. A good thing is there were little stickers on the light switches telling what they go to.

Gator Oasis

This was our 2nd time staying at this property. We come down to florida from New England once a year to visit family. 2 years ago a dear family member passed and gators nest was where we chose then, this year it was so nice to come back to such a beautiful area. Sitting out back in the screened in area listening to the immense amount of wildlife brought us so much peace in this time. The owners are very attentive and even messaged me to make sure we got in okay! I can not thank them enough for opening this beautiful home to us! Very clean, spacious, beautiful and one of a kind home! 10/10

Perfect location for relaxing vacation

The property was as described. It is located out of the mainsteam of Florida, which is what we wanted. We wanted a place where we could walk our dogs and just relax. The house and location are exactly as described. We enjoyed watching the eagles nest and turtles laying their eggs. Also, we had one small problem with dishwasher, we called the property manger, Christina, and the handyman was there within an hour. Very well run VRBO. Had a wonderful time.

Speedweek Stay

I recently stayed at the Gators Nest and were pleased. The house is back a lane and situated close to a small canal. My free time at the house was mostly mornings up to early afternoon and I enjoyed having breakfast on the back deck. We enjoyed staying here and will return if I’m in the area again. We also took advantage of the airboat ride and dined at the Black Hammock restaurant a few times. The airboat is a must do experience in my opinion and we had great service at the restaurant.

We loved the property and location

The only issue was the property was advertised with a pool, which is why I booked it. When we arrived the pool was in the process of being filled in as it was damaged by the storm and some of the patio area was cordoned off. As much as this was disappointing we still enjoyed our stay, the property was lovely and we loved the view of the lake. When we contacted Christina to let her know the garbage disposal wasn’t working she responded straight away and was very helpful during our stay. I would recommend this property and would book it next time we are visiting .

Schön gelegenes Haus mit kleineren Mängeln.

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Haus ist sehr schön gelegen. Die Nachbarhäuser sind etwas weiter entfernt und nicht sichtbar. Daher hat man gerade früh morgens und in den Abendstunden die Chance zahlreiche Tiere zu sehen. Das Haus selber ist schön, könnte aber hier und da ein paar Schönheitsreparaturen vertragen. Wir hatten z.B. vier Gartenstühle, von denen aber leider zwei kaputt waren. Die Hausverwaltung ist ständig erreichbar und sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Insgesamt definitiv weiterzuempfehlen.

Private and the AC is great

While this is not a new property, it is spacious and private and everything you need to chill and enjoy family or the area or both. It’s close enough to restaurants and the highway. The restaurant on the property is really good. We enjoyed the wildlife —especially since the raccoon family. We will definitely consider this property and management company if the need arises. Thanks Joel!

Disappointing

We knew from the pictures it wasn't going to be a 5 star resort, but cleanliness and simple amenities could have gone a long way to make up for the home's shortcomings. Our biggest issue was that the hall/guest bathroom commode would not flush. Property management was very responsive and plumber tried to fix, but it needed more than a snake or plunge. Four adults had to share the master bathroom commode. Could have worked, but then the pocket door to bathroom breaks and no privacy. The couple in master bdrm moved to the third bedroom so we could regain some privacy. Other issues: 1) Found numerous dishes/cookware stored in cabinets to be dirty. 2) Someone started to clean oven but didn't finish and we had to clean before using. 3) Hard beds, flat pillows and bed linen had those little pills on them and no change of sheets. 4) lack of towels - only one per adult. 5) Only 4 outdoor chairs with a wobbly table. I requested some kind of refund from owner's, but nobody's responded yet.

Waterfront Home in loveley Wildlife Preserve

If you are looking for a quiet vacation Gators Nest may be for you. We are two elderly couples (with 2 old Dachshund dogs ) that stayed 4 weeks and the only real complaints are the house is in need of some TLC and the cleanliness of the house upon our arrival was not up to our personal standards. Staff made an effort to quickly fix anything that we brought to their attention. The property sits waterfront on Lake Jesup with Gators and all variety of birds, deer, just abundant natural beauty. An Air-boat ride at Black Hammock is a must do. I believe that if the owner would do some updates to the house and hold the cleaning service to a higher standard this would be an annual must visit. Dog friendly, nice folks. Beautiful scenery and central to lots of other Florida activities. Oh, food at the Black Hammock restaurant is great. We especially liked the Fish Tacos and the Shrimp and Grits. Best we have ever eaten. Got to know the restaurant staff and general manager and they are the best.

Gator Nest review

I liked the location of the house, perfect for my two little dogs. Areas of the house needed some updating. A thorough cleaning of the house needs to be done. Blinds are all tattered. Cookware items need to be replaced. The dryer was not working, I should have been told this before checking in. The next day I was offered a clothesline for drying. I was not happy with that. The manager tried to help with the dryer situation but was not repaired while there. I was offered a discount for the next rental. The screens on the porch need replacing. Overall is a nice house and location, it needs some serious updating and major cleaning. Thank you.

Wonderfully quiet property. Wildlife and airboats are all that you hear. Loved it!!

Frankly, the best Thanksgiving I've ever had. The home had everything (except for a large pot and pan we had to purchase at the local publix-supermarket, but had everything else) we needed to make and cook our Thanksgiving dinner. Plenty of cooking and eating utensils, plates, bowls, and glasses were provided.We brought our own food, drinks and ice. We also trailered our motorcycle, which we stored in the 2 car garage. The roads were great for motorcycling with little traffic. The rooms were spacious. Our small dogs had room to roam on the large property. But be careful with gators! For my family, it wasn't too country and wasn't too city. Just right, as many shops and restaurants were 5-10 minutes away. We will stay here again.

Good alternative to hotel....

We basically just slept here, but was cheaper than a hotel, as we needed two bedrooms. The pictures are old....the “waterway “ beside the property is now actually overgrown with brush. I loved our mornings on the screened-in porch/lanai, listening to all the birds, some of which I’d never seen before. There were a few things that need immediate attention....the master bathroom door, pocket door” was broken and only got worse during our stay. No privacy whatsoever. Some of the electrical outlets are a fire hazard as the connection is loose, allowing an unsecured current. (My husband is a firefighter and wanted to contact the owner about it) The water odor was pretty strong and awful. The clothes we washed had to be washed again when we got home. Use bottled water, even with our britta pitcher, the water tasted awful! The owners were very nice and would get back to us quickly with any questions we had.

Qui vous reçoit ?

Vous êtes reçu par 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 wild life. 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.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

I love this property because of it's location. It's 5 minutes away from a major Florida highway but the house is secluded on a large lot hidden in the middle of Florida's natural wildlife. From your backyard you can bird watch, fish, and experience one of the most beautiful sunsets of your life over Lake Jesup.
