I have rented this place several times and its always a great experience. The apartment is gorgeous and the location is perfect if you're exploring Mt Dora or one of the festivals. I've already booked it for next year!

Our pleasure! Please tell your family and friends! See you next year!
Access code didn’t work, had to call rep at VRBO to get one to work. No place to park to unload or unload. Name on door didn’t match listing. Very scant on supplies. No reference info in unit. Coffee pot lid broken
Actually didn't stay in the unit. Tried to reach host but no answer or response. Unit was not ready for anyone to stay in it. There were other patrons for the other unit that went somewhere else as well. Worst experience ever!
This was a wonderful place to stay. Right in town, close to shopping and restaurants. The kitchen is well equipped, and we enjoyed 1 dinner there and 2 breakfast meals. We only stayed 2 nights, and I was sad to leave when we did. Would definitely stay there again!
This is a great place that is well kept and clean. You are right in the downtown of Mt Dora which makes it super convenient.
We are definitely going there again.

Thank you for your review. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay and we'll be anxious to have you back in the future.
Yes, the 2nd floor location could be difficult for someone that can't do steps.
Enjoy your day!
Cute, clean apartment. Can hear live music from the balcony. Close to the lakefront,
which is nice for watching a lovely sunset. So conveniently located. Don't even need a car, you can walk to everything. Lots of great restaurants in the area. Beautiful town.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay Christina! Think of us if you ever need a quiet getaway in the future. There is always something fun going on in our area.
The location couldn’t be any better. You are right in the heart of town, and you are just minute walks from everywhere. The condo is very spacious and well furnished. All of the furniture was extremely comfortable and in great condition. The Roku TV was a plus, but the balcony was the most relaxing place to be. We could not of asked for a better place to stay.
The Village Suites were excellent choice for us. Right in the heart of downtown Mount Dora.
My wife and I needed some alone wind downtime. We decided to stay 2 nighrs in Mt. Dora. Found The Village Suites and loved it. The condo is over "The coolest shop ever" FYI Creations! HI RONNIE! We had a blast and will be doing this again soon.
This is our second stay and we've already booked our third. The apartment is gorgeous and in a perfect location...close to amazing food and quaint shops. It's very clean, comfortable and has everything that you need to feel at home. Ronnie downstairs is great...he's always there for recommendations and to lend a helping hand and his shop is pretty cool also. You can't go wrong staying here if you're staying in Mt Dora
Beautiful, 2nd time at this place hopefully it will be a yearly trip and become part of Christmas tradition for us. It’s so peaceful to sit on the balcony and see all the sights and listen to the singing Christmas tree.The suite is nicely decorated and offers plenty of comfortable seating for catching up with friends. You can cook a full meal in the kitchen if you don’t want to go out. And if you like exploring the whole town is right outside your door it’s great 👍
So wonderful, booked it for another trip. 10 minutes after walking through door.
Centrally located, close to every thing downtown. Very comfortable, King size bed is the most romantic and comfortable. Only item of note, you can hear noise outside easily. However, it quiets down by 10 p.m. Didn't bother us, though. We booked another stay, literally 10 minutes after walking through the door. Perfect...
We have stayed here a few times before so couldn’t wait to get back. This hidden jewel is tucked away, yet so perfectly close to everything. Just park your car and walk to the nearby restaurants, shopping and lake.
While we did run into an issue this time, the after hours contact was quick to answer, made a few calls, and got someone over right away to take care of it.
The bed is big and comfy, the furniture in the living room is inviting (which makes it harder to get up - lol) and the kitchen has almost everything you need.
I’m sure you’ll enjoy your stay as much as we did.

Thank you for that lovely review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you will book with us again soon.
Great location; loved the balcony; spacious; comfortable; lots of natural light. Finding a space near the unit was a challenge on the weekend; however, spaces opened up by 8:30ish. The place was a bit dated and could use a bit brighter lighting for nighttime. Music from restaurant and shop below could be loud - inside the apartment. Overall though we enjoyed our stay.
I am struggling to say anything good. But that’s because I want to keep it my little secret!! This place is awesome! Roomy, comfortable and without any doubt the best location in Mt. Dora, and I have tried a few. Everything you need is here, the description is spot on, so no unpleasant surprises. The host is great, and the business neighbors are too! So like, don’t tell anyone, OK?
Super convenient location for walking and taking in all the delights that Mount Dora has to offer! Additionally, you will find the patio a great place to enjoy pre-cocktails before dinner or just sit and sip morning drinks while watching the people go by. We had fantastic weather, enjoyed the restaurants and sights. Parking was fine. Despite the festivals that ran on Sat and Sun, we were able to find free 24-hour parallel parking a couple of blocks away. The unit was cute and had everything we needed. The bed was super comfortable. I would recommend having the carpets cleaned. Other than that, it smelled freshly cleaned when we checked in and it was a wonderful place to stay. We would definitely re-book again! Thank you!
The beds were not made and there were no sheets or towels in the unit
The beds were not made and there were no sheets or towels in the unit…. There is absolutely no communication between the owner and the guests

Hi Mary. I'm so sorry for your experience, but I don't see where you tried to reach out to anyone. Phone numbers are listed in the condo if there are any issues. The condo is cleaned after each visit, but I will make sure I check them personally to make sure they are guest ready.
