This person has 5-6 properties in Mount Dora as well as a Bohemian type merchant store downtown......we looked her up. We arrived at the property we rented for 8 people only to have a current tenant still there. We asked was she the cleaning crew so this was embarrasing for us and them! ZBut this Jessica didn't care

The Little Blue Bungalow was a charming, clean and well-appointed home away from home. The beds were very comfy, and the AC, heat, hot water and appliances all worked great. I was particularly grateful for the Keurig.

We had enjoyable weekend antiquing at Renniger’s and exploring Mt. Dora. The Little Blue Bungalow is centrally located to take advantage of both and at the same time very quiet. The home was thoughtfully prepared to make our weekend with friends a memorable and stress free time together.

The house was comfortable and clean. There is sufficient parking for 2 cars. If you're looking for a vintage vibe this is the place. The futons were thin and might be suitable for children. Overall we had a nice stay.

Perfect for family and/or friends for relaxed 3 day weekend

By far the most beautifully decorated and comfortable VRBO we have ever stayed in - we wanted to stay longer. We enjoyed the springs nearby and a sunset cruise on Lake Dora. Jessica responded quickly to any questions and even went to check on the property before we arrived to make sure things were in order.

Gem in Mount Dora

We were visiting for a family wedding and rented Jessa's bungalow. It couldnt have worked out better for our varied family members. All the beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of spots to relax. The kitchen was well equiped, and the back deck was lovely.

Great house and location!

We loved the Little Blue Bungalow the minute we walked in! Then you walk around, and realize how big it is, and see all of the little touches Jessica added. The backyard is amazing, very peaceful! Easy walk to downtown and other nearby restaurants too. Great golfing in the area at a very reasonable price. She has a list of area attractions including golf on the desk at the house.

Perfect for the group

This was a charming house that has it all, the outside area with a deck and fire pit was just perfect for this cold weekend. It was pet friendly with a fully fenced backyard. The host even had a pet basket with needed bowls and such in case you forgot yours. The beds were super comfy. Highly recommend this location if you want to explore Mt. Dora as it is central to downtown and Renningers.

Mt Dora 5-15

My 3 siblings and I were in Mt Dora for our Dad's memorial service. We wanted a house with a bedroom for all of us to be able to have our alone time if we wanted it. This house had that an more. There was several outside space to just sit and chill. It was wonderful

Great Stay!

The house was perfect for us! Quiet area, large back yard for our pups, cute cottage feel, and we love Mt Dora. Lots of activities, reataurants, and shops. There are some reataurants within a five or 10 minute walk. To get downtown is just under a mile. It worked for us to walk it, but there is also a wonderful shuttle service that will come pick you up and drop you off. Jessica is an amazing host who made sure had everything we need and is local for any needs that come up.

Fun at the Little Blue Cottage

5 adults stayed 3 nights . . . . the house had absolutely everything we needed. Jessica covered all details and her decorating style is beautiful and and inspiring. We walked to town daily - well, most of us did! We even had room for an additional couple. We've stayed in many properties in Mt Dora and this is by far our favorite.

A long Weekend in the Little Blue Bungalow

The Bungalow is charming ! The decor is lovely and inviting , right down to the welcome note on a chalkboard . The beds were very comfortable and linens crisp . The kitchen was well equipped and roomy . It was a pleasant experience to stay in this house . The Only negative was the yard . It was fenced and roomy but in need of “ grooming” badly . There was more dirt than turf and a child or dog would not have enjoyed playing there .

Virgina thank you for the feedback , and Yes you are correct. It’s a dog friendly home and recently the amount of fur kids running around back there has taken up the grass. I’ve taken your feedback and have already called up to order new sod to be installed. Thanks again, Jess

Listing is not accurate. NO TV service and no BBQ grill.

The listing states they have 2 smart TVs. It also lists cable/satellite and mentions Netflix and Amazon and an antennae. When we had trouble with the TV, the owner, Rob, was nice enough to come over and help but soon admitted there was no TV service, only Netflix and Amazon. The antennae did not work either. I am sure a lot of people are OK with no TV, but my family is not. Also, we had packed food for a nice grilled dinner the evening we arrived. Unfortunately, when it came time to cook I realized the grill was falling apart and unusable. The house was very nicely decorated and the beds were comfy, but we would have never stayed here if we knew there was no TV service or a working grill.

Quaint little house in Mt Dora, FL

The Blue Bungalow is an adorable property that was found to be very clean, nicely decorated and well equipped. However the house is advertised as a 5 min walk to restaurants. It is 5 min by car but not walking distance for the elderly. The house does not have a reversible a/c unit for heat. The only way to keep warm is using the fireplace that we are not familiar with it and had no instructions for its use. Sometimes the temp inside was about 40 degrees and it was hotter outside than inside.The house can use a little TLC in some places like entrance to 2nd bathroom by laundry area that had a lot of things that could have been put away inside the garage and not for guests viewing. This by no means criticizing the property, just merely to contribute to a better experience. I would gladly rent the house in summer when the weather is warmer. Thank you Jessica for a great 3 day mini vacation in Mt Dora.

Hello Jose, I wish you would have made me aware during your stay that you couldn’t operate the heat on the thermostat. The home most definitely has central heating and the cleaning crew turns it on while they clean, especially these last few days. .As a Secondary option the original fireplace is fully functioning but it’s more for aesthetics. Great idea for the laundry room, I appreciate the feedback. Jessica

Bungalow Beautiful

*The bungalow is beautiful. It receives a 5/5. *No sport channel-ESPN. *Walk to town is more like 15 minutes. *one towel per guest. Seems like no big deal but in a hot, humid, area, seems they could provide another towel or two. *Advertised as 4 bedrooms. We had 3 couples. Each in a bedroom with a bed to spare, and we were charged for an extra bed. Price advertised is not accurate unless you are two people renting a 4 bedroom house. *We must have been the first group to enjoy sitting outside because the area was not cleaned up for use. (April) * felt the wording of the instructions a bit unwelcoming. if you leave one dish unclean, it is a $25.00 charge. Seemed a bit extreme. Overall I gave this a rating of a 4/5 because it is absolutely beautiful and the town is lovely, and despite these small issues we had an outstanding time. Wishing everyone who rents this place and visits the same experience!

The sweetest little house decorated in a shabby chic style that we absolutely loved. Jessica made the house so inviting for our pre Christmas stay with all the essentials needed and a spacious yard for my girlfriends Shih Tzu. We will definitely come back for another visit.
