This place has thought of everything. From extra towels and bathroom items (i.e shampoo, conditioner, hair drier, etc) to coffee and filters for the coffee pot. The kitchen is fully stocked with salt and pepper to foil and zip locks. They have books to read and puzzles and games for a relaxing night in. We have stayed multiple times and will return again.

We had a great experience. The place was nice and quiet. We were worried about noise from the nearby high school but we never heard anything. Highly recommend to anyone tired of the hotel stays. Renningers flea market is only 15 minutes down the road.

Quick but worth it

This was our second time coming to stay at this property and we will definitely be returning everytime we come to Florida if possible. We didn't stay for many days but it was fun and peaceful regardless. Kinda wish we stayed longer simply because of how homey it feels to stay at this property. Bill and Betty are great hosts and have everything you need for your stay.

Very Nice and Private

This was by far the nicest VRBO we have ever stayed at for the money. The location was private and safe, and the pricing was better than most local hotels. On top of that the owners let us check in early so we could rest. They answered every question we had in a timely manner. I could not recommend this place enough.

About the host

Hosted by Bill Ainslie

Host profile image
My wife and I, along with our two boys moved to Florida from Upstate NY in 1983 and bought this home in 1984. Besides the main house, where we now reside as empty nesters, there is one upstairs apartment and the cottage. My wife's mother and father lived in the cottage until her dad passed away and her mother moved into an ALF in 2014, which left the cottage empty. We have had the apartment completely remodeled which is now being offered as a vacation rental.

Why they chose this property

We're located on a quiet street that is walking distance to the downtown area and it's many restaurants and activities. A short drive and you're in Mount Dora, Eustis, Leesburg and The Villages. We're aprox. an hour drive to all the Orlando attractions and Daytona Beach.

What makes this property unique

The area has that small town feeling, but an easy drive to all that Central Florida has to offer.
