What a great little spot to stay! Cozy, homey, and welcoming! We hardly had to drive anywhere, except to the next town over to a restaurant we wanted to go to. Checking in was super easy! Downtown is maybe a 10 minute walk, and you get to see so much of the whimiscal charm of Mt. Dora on the way! We (and our pups) had such a great time and cannot wait to go back! Thank you so much!

Beautiful Historic Cozy Bungalow

We had a great stay at the Cozy Bungalow! It is a beautiful place and just as the pictures and description. It is a short walk to downtown Mt.Dora and in a beautiful neighborhood. Steve is a great host and we would definitely stay there again!

Fell short of expectations

It was a fine place to stay if you have activities outside the house. It seemed odd that there were exactly 4 shabby bath towels and wash cloths for 4 people, and exactly 4 rolls of toilet paper. Also, the tap water smells/tastes strongly of sulphur....be sure to bring your own drinking water.

Needed Relaxation

Loved the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. We were able to walk and enjoy the Mt Dora area and did not have to use our vehicle once during our stay. The carport area was perfect for shade and a nice breeze was always present. The house was as described and beds were very comfortable. We will definitely be staying again.

Mt Dora stay

Check in was easy. Loved the key pad entrance not having to share a key Could not figure out the Netfix on any of the TVS but we did not go there to watch TV so no big deal. Close to the downtown area and shopping. It was a short stay but if it was a longer stay the kitchen was not perfectIn

Walking distance to town

Nice place and 13 blocks to town. This was our second time to stay in this unit but we ate out on our first trip. Eating out has become very expensive so I dicided to cook a meal. The Kitchen wasn't set up for cooking. There are no potholders or colander for draining pasta. I would stay there again.

Halloween weekend

We had a fantastic stay in Mount Dora and this sweet little bungalow was perfect! You can definitely walk downtown if you want to, everything is so close. We loved having the backyard for the pups. They did seem interested in the chickens next door but the neighbor was very sweet and we worked out a schedule between the dogs. The inside of the house is simple and modern, and the bedrooms are decent, we had 2 kids and 2 adults. We would definitely consider renting this again. Halloween weekend was awesome, they had so much going on all over town. Thanks for a great weekend!

We often rent 2 bedroom condo, and this was as large. The real plus was the small distance to downtown Mount Dora.

Cozy Bungalow

The Cozy Bungalow lived up to its name and the property owner was very accommodating. We were evacuating from Hurricane Milton so under a lot of stress. The helpfulness from the property owner made things just a little easier at a time when we were already dealing with a lot.

Charming cottage getaway

We stayed a long weekend and had everything we needed at this updated historic cottage just blocks from downtown. We used almost every amenity Steve offers including fire pit, his bikes (since you are only 100’ from the bike trail- just dust off and top off tires.). He provides shampoo, conditioner, soap, basic kitchen necessities (salt, pepper and oil) just bring your favorite coffee and groceries. The king bed was very comfy (we always travel with our own pillows) and we watched the basic TV and Netflix but went up to Jeremiah's to watch the football games. We did a load of laundry before we left and dryer did not get hot but Steve was quick to respond and kept in touch about getting it repaired. We loved the quiet neighborhood, close proximity to downtown, parks and lake. We ate most meals out. Highly recommend this property!

Great home in Mt. Dora

I stayed in the bungalow for nearly a week while visiting my parents in Mt. Dora. The house is close to their retirement community, in a great neighborhood for morning walks and quiet evenings (except July 4th), and close to the town center. It was perfect and I’ll definitely be returning.
