Perfection in Every Detail

Absolutely incredible stay! I have pretty high standards when it comes to vacation rentals, and this charming little cottage completely blew me away. It was immaculate, beautifully maintained and thoughtfully stocked with absolutely everything you could need, and then some. The extra touches throughout made it feel especially welcoming and truly above and beyond.The location was fantastic, just a short pleasant walk (under 10 minutes) to downtown with sidewalks almost the entire way. We also loved taking the provided bikes out for a relaxing ride on another day.This was the perfect getaway in every way. We can’t wait to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Todd and Teresa Vandre

Host profile image
My husband and I both grew up in Florida; however, life moved us around the United States as we finished school, my husband served in the military, and we followed our careers as a pilot and nurse. Now back in Florida, we fell in love with the small-town charm of Mount Dora, with the amenities of Orlando not too far away.

Why they chose this property

Also known as "The Festival City", Mount Dora is a historic central Florida town located on the shores of Lake Dora -- and is home to antique stores, boutiques, art galleries, restaurants, and some of the oldest and largest festivals in Florida every year. From Renningers Antique Center and Flea Market down to the small bakeries and coffee shops of downtown, my husband and I are in love with the Mount Dora!
