Right around the corner

Very nice, clean suite. Had all the necessary needs to fulfill our stay. Very convenient to navigate to and very close to a lot of entertaining areas in and around Mt Dora. I will stay here again and recommend highly for others to do the same.

Mt Dora snowbird stay.

The apartment was clean and comfortable. It is attached to the owners residence. I did however find that owner was a bit invasive regarding my right to privacy. There is a camera posted outside the door. I was told I could not have any visitors on the property without pre-approval due to her insurance requirements. Twice someone was in my apartment through the laundry room. The key if locked from my apartment would be horizontal, if locked from inside the adjacent laundry room my key would be in a vertical position. The first time I noticed this, someone had come in and turned the a,/c off. The second time I have no idea why they would be in there. Ms Lobretto Beacher offered to come in every week and clean and change bedding. That was great. What was not so great was that she would move my stuff around to her liking. She put all of my personal things in a tote without asking. The final thing that I didn't like was that after I checked out two days early. She sent me a text telling me the cleaning crew noticed three spots on the wall that weren't there before. She thought I used cleaner on the wall. ?? The spots looked like maybe the drywall had been patched and that the paint didn't quite cover the spots. The spots were in a dark area. I would recommend the apartment for a short stay. I stayed two months and felt a serious lack of privacy. I just had the feeling I was being monitored. I am a 58 year old responsible woman. Really???

Chris, In response to your review: The camera you speak of is clearly noted in the description & house rules. It was not outside your door it is outside by the laundry room door and is pointed at the front gate for security. In the house rules it also stated about having guests. No one every entered the apartment through the laundry & No one turned off the A/C. The apartment was cleaned every 2 weeks complimentary only because you instant booked & I didn’t feel it was appropriate to ask you to pay additionally for it after you booked & paid. I placed your make-up & other belongings that where put on the white fireplace mantel, in a small plastic bin so I could clean and I didn't want the white mantel stained with make-up or scratched. I did not move anything other than place the many items from the mantel to a plastic bin & after cleaning put the bin on top of the mantel. I sent you the text about the wall so we could have a better understanding of what happened since it wasn't there prior to your arrival. When you made the reservation you had to read & accept the house rules in order to make the booking. We believe that everyone should absolutely love their stay and that's the standard we've set for our property. Unfortunately sometimes things aren't a great fit.

About the host

Hosted by Lynn Loretto-Beacher

Host profile image

We are a Retired Military Family & empty nesters. For the last 22 years I have taught cooking classes in my kitchen. I call my husband the Master Gardener as that is usually where he is manicuring our property. The Studio Apartment is attached to our home and we are always available to our guests via platform messaging, cell phone, or texting.

Why they chose this property

We are in a quite residential neighborhood on a small lane that seems like it is lost in time or from a place you dreamed about.

What makes this property unique

Great shopping, water activities, segway tours, historic Mount Dora tours, biking, walking & beautiful sunsets over Lake Dora. The Historic City of Mount Dora is located 2 miles from our location. Mount Dora is called the Festival City as we have many. There is always something to do, the list is endless. Water activities available downtown Mount Dora at the Marina. You can just kick back & relax or keep yourself very busy.
