Great place for the "old florida" feel!

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!

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.
