We had a wonderful stay at the Mermaid House! The house was absolutely delightful, and the location was perfect, just a short distance from downtown Mount Dora and all its charming shops and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would happily stay here again!

I had family flying in from Colorado for a long weekend. I secured The Mermaid Cottage for their stay. The charming cottage was clean, cozy and had every amenity required. The little back porch and sitting areas were a special treat. A perfect spot for morning coffee or an evening beverage. The location is a convenient stroll to the downtown area and the boat dock to view spectacular sunsets over the lake. If you are planning to visit Mount Dora, treat yourself to stay at The Mermaid Cottage!
