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.

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!

Fantastic, Friendly, Filling & FUN

This place has it ALL! FANTASTIC Accommodations, FRIENDLY staff at each of the Gator sites (The Black Hammock Restaurant, Black Hammock - Lazy Gator Bar and the Black Hammock Air boat rides on Lake Jesup). Large, FILLING portions at The Black Hammock Restaurant. Tons of FUN at the Lazy Gator Bar with Karaoke night and live band night. The locals make you feel like you are part of the place. We stayed 7 nights and will definitely be back (if Joel will have us). Thanks Joel!!! Next time I'll be brave and try the Gator Bites.
