I've been here twice now, and wholeheartedly recommend them…read more The first time I came down to Florida to meet up with a buddy to celebrate his bday with a couple other friends. We rented one of the deluxe cabins. The cabins are very well-maintained and very comfortable. We had a great weekend of hanging out, fishing, etc. We also rented the pontoon to take out fishing. Overall, great experience and the staff was awesome. The second time I came was to meet up with some friends again to see some spring training baseball in nearby Lakeland. We rented a different cabin this time which was slightly smaller and didn't have a loft. It was a bit too small for the 6 people that we would have there. This was my fault for not asking. We called the staff and they offered to let us have an extra cabin, the bungalow, for a couple nights. Once again, had a great time, and the staff was awesome Pros: Awesome staff, close to spring training baseball sites, within an hour of both Orlando and Tampa, on the lake, boat rentals available, good value. Cons: I would probably say it's not the place of you want to party. After 10 there is a policy against raucous noise. That being said, it was just fine for us staying up late and playing cards and such.

There is no place to have a campfire. The internet doesn't work. You connect for all of about 5 min and then you hang after. The reconnection process to get the service to work takes hours to get reconnected. The Internet service provider is Tengo Nternet. There support is none existing. The place is ok if you just want a trailer park type of campground and fire ring and no cable or internet even when they advertise they have these services. The two stars are for the lake and clean bathrooms

You can get to both of these places through the same toll, and is just a smaller, quaint, and quieter side of the gulf shores in Florida. Very beautiful pristine and crystal clear waters from all ends of the island. $6 for Tolls and $3 for Parking Arrive anytime between 9am-3pm to check out most of the shops within the area. It is a more small and private island where many of the residents shops close early. (Island Time) This place has two light houses. One in the middle of Gasparilla and then the other at the very bottom of Boca Grande. This place is going to have beautiful sunset views from most places on the island as well!

However, we have tons of retirees, one of which is me. Lots of folks come to visit us. I had some visitors that decided to stay in this unique place, and I decided to go with them when they checked in to check it out. It's less than a mile from my condo. Arriving- It's on the northbound side of US Route 27 with a large sign. Piece of cake to find. They are small cottages, yup I said cottages, and you get to park directly in front of yours which is incredibly convenient. Pro Tip- There is every kind of restaurant and/or bar, mostly within just a few minutes. Just check Yelp. Ambience- The cottages come in two flavors, Lakefront and Front. In addition to being on a private, very nice beach, the lakefront cottages have many more amenities. Check out their excellent website for details. Everything is up-to-date and spotless. There is a private beach and a nice doc with a gazebo at the end of it. Not a bad place to quaff a beverage and watch the sunset. The lakefront cottages have gas bbq grills ready for your use. Customer Service- My friends said it was spectacular! From check-in to daily housekeeping, everyone was friendly and efficient. Pricing- Like most lodgings the price varies by several factors. It's easy to play around on the website to figure it all out. As you might expect, the cottages on the lakefront cost the most. In general, expect to pay, often on the lower end of $1xx.00 per night which is a steal. Conclusion- If you need to stay in the area and looking for something other than the chains, this fine place will get the job done in style!

Nicely decorated, huge tv with Rokou, microwave, fantastic beds and unbeivable pillows, coffee in the room. But the real show stopper is the bathroom! Tiny in size, but the shower, amazing, fantastic, spa quality. The shower had a rainshower head, and a hand held showerhead. The floor was muted pebbles. High end shampoo, conditioner, soap and make up remover were all provided. Dont pass up this place. You will get a restfull, rejuvenating stay.

My 17 year old daughter and I had so much fun at Wild Florida! We visited both the Gator Park, the…read moredrive thru safari, and the lemur experience and all were well worth the price of admission. First the safari - You drive your own car through this safari and in our experience, you really don't have to worry about damage to your vehicle. There are so many animals, many species that I didn't recognize. When we entered the safari, we were given a booklet that had photos and brief descriptions of all of the animals, and that was a huge help in identifying what we were viewing. I loved that we could go at our own pace and there were plenty of pull-offs for us to use if the vehicles behind us wanted to travel more quickly. The animals trulya re right in front of you - most are wandering freely without cages, fences, or other barriers, and at times we had to stop to let animals cross the road in front of our car! At the end of the safari, there is a place where you can park your car and go up to a platform to feed the giraffes ($5 per person). We did it and it was so much fun to get to see the giraffes so close and have them take food right from our hands. We enjoyed the safari so much that we went through it again after touring the gator park. The gator park was super fun as well, and there are so many animals other than gators, too! We enjoyed the gator feeding. It was fascinating to watch them eat chicken meat off of a hanging line, and the commentary provided by the show's host was very informative. We also enjoyed holding a baby alligator and getting a digital photo. My 17 year old daughter loved the add on of the lemur experience. She, along with about 6 other guests, got to go inside a room next to the lemur exhibit and interact & feed a lemur. She truly loved this experience and it was definitely worth the added cost. We spent about 5 hours here and could easily have spend an hour or two more. Check Groupon for discounts on tickets and enjoy seeing all of the animals at Wild Florida!

As it neared 5:15p - exits started getting locked, including the one people were leaving as we were entering. There were no workers around to ask how to get out. 2. After navigating the above, we went to the gift shop because we were told it closes at 6p. At 5:50, the gift shop was completely dark and locked up. This was super disappointing. I understand that people want to leave, but man...
