The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission posted on Twitter that an 11-foot alligator broke through a lower window into the home in Clearwater.
Pictures posted on social media showed the kitchen a mess, with chairs knocked over and a broken window.
One picture showed the gator with its huge mouth open.
