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!

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!!

This cutest 100 year old Fisherman’s Cottage is so cool and unique in every way! The host left us a neat gift and note along with the most delicious fresh fruit and eggs! It truly felt like Liz and Lee put a lot of love and care in everything. The kitchen is well stocked with good quality utensils, and they even had my favorite brand of paper towels and toilet paper:)We enjoyed some quiet time on two very comfortable porches.Location is great also, we were able to go into the town and enjoyed exploring cafes and little shops!
We had a very special visitor every morning:)
