This is such an adorable and charming house. Many hours on the back deck and enjoyed screened porch as well. Overall well stocked kitchen. Super comfortable beds. Nice location to downtown and parks. Would highly recommend sunset visit to the boardwalk to see lots of birds and an alligator and amazing view. Also kayaking the Dora Canal was a great experience.

Perfect

Everything was wonderful. The house is well supplied, clean, and very comfortable…even for our four pawed bestie. The front yard area and side screened in patio was perfect for her. Highly recommended staying at the house, which we will do again in the future.

An Absolute Gem

First of all, let me say that I have never had a better host than Jessica. A few days before check in, she provided us with wonderfully helpful information that we used during our stay to better enjoy the area. We had a small item that needed attention from the handyman, which was taken care of professionally and right away. Now onto the property- if you love places with character, this is a perfect spot for you! The decor is just as shown, and has such a cozy feel. The host really thought of everything you would need to feel comfortable in your home away from home. The neighborhood is quiet and is close enough to downtown Mount Dora that the golf cart service picks you up. If you prefer to drive, you're there in about 3 minutes, or about a 12 minute walk. The front yard is fenced in and perfect for your pups, and there's also a large backyard, which isn't fenced in but it has multiple decks to enjoy the sunset. We are absolutely looking forward to staying here again!
