The property was extremely clean and well equipped. The host provided extra special touches and was very welcoming. It is in a great location within walking distance to Mount Dora’s quaint downtown. We were very comfortable and besides it being completely updated with unique decor, all the appliances and dishware were high quality. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it!

This was an outstanding stay. Yes, Liz the host was communicative, welcoming, accommodating and all of those things we come to expect from a well-rated property. The theme puts the decor over the top and provides plenty of conversation starters!What made it outstanding were the little things. The bathrooms were appointed down to having bandaids and aspirin, things that one could need but wouldn’t want to have to buy and take home afterwards. It was those small details that really stood out for us.Mornings on the back porch, sipping coffee and watching the birds was an absolute delight! With the quiet neighborhood, the property is super relaxing.The location to downtown is sweet and it lies within the weekend range of ‘freebe’ since there is limited parking in Mt. Dora. We cannot recommend the cottage enough!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Fisherman's Cottage. Conveniently located walking distance to downtown. Loved the screened porch in the front and back of the cottage. Very clean and lots of cute extras like Swedish Goldfish to go along with the cottage's theme. Excellent communication from the host.

The Fisherman's Cottage was perfect in every way. We enjoyed all the great sculptures and art throughout the house. All of the rooms (kitchen, bathrooms, laundry) were updated and provided us with all - and more - of everything we needed for our month's stay. We especially enjoyed the 2 screened in porches for relaxing. Liz and Lee (we have stayed at another of their houses previously) are excellent hosts. Could not recommend this place more. As a plus, it's very walkable to downtown!

I’ve never experienced another rental quite like this. It has set a gold standard for me personally. My mother, two aunts and I had the absolute privilege of staying in this immaculate home, with the most thoughtful details. Nothing was left to desire. I am beyond grateful for everything the hosts of this home have put into providing a welcoming atmosphere. It is just perfect!I’d rate it 100 stars if possible!! If you’re coming to Mount Dora, this should be your place!!
