My husband and I loved this place. It is exactly the right size for 2 people and a fur baby. The neighborhood is great, I felt very safe walking my dog at night. Downtown is about 2 blocks away, which made it perfect walking distance. I highly recommend any property managed by Talia.

On our recent stay at The Nantucket, we found the location to be excellent, allowing us to park our car in the driveway and walk into town.However, we found The Nantucket too small for us. The tiny bathroom was impossible to dress in after a shower so we had to dress in the hallway as the bedroom was also too small to dress in. The bathroom had no place to put toiletries-perhaps a shelf above the toilet could be added for this purpose. Tissues could be placed on this shelf.Also, a strong musty odor greeted us at the door. The see-thru shades on the front windows gave us a lack of privacy at night, making watching TV or walking around in our pajamas uncomfortable as anyone walking or driving by could see clearly inside the living room. Also, the kitchen floor was gritty with sand, and there was only one teaspoon in the drawer. The request to wash any cups or utensils and strip the bed, and wash the bedding and towels was something I didn’t expect. We had paid 95 dollars for cleaning. I was hoping to away for three days from household chores while in Mt. Dora. I have never experienced this request in any of my travels in hotels, motels, and ARBNBs in the USA or Europe. I hope this review is useful to you. I know you can’t stretch the walls to make it bigger, but we would have enjoyed a little more space and privacy.

We loved this cute little cottage for a quick weekend in Mount Dora. The cottage was beautifully decorated, had all the amenities we needed and was very comfortable. The location could not be more perfect, super close to all the best restaurants, the waterfront and shopping. We can’t wait to stay again!

There was an issue to with the lock (100% user error) and they helped get me get in and dropped a key.The furniture was comfortable and everything was super clean.The location was perfect. It was just about 2 blocks to the downtown area with the shops and restaurants. I can't say enough how nice it was that we did not have to search for parking!!

Perfect cozy place to stay. Had everything needed to enjoy a weekend of biking in beautiful mount dora. Listing is exactly as shown. Was welcomed with a nice bottle of wine. Enjoyed complimentary coffee and appreciated toiletries and even provided melatonin gummies if needed. Will definitely rent again for next year bike fest. Such an easy stroll to downtown and 1/2 block to pickleball courts :).

Excellent location! Just a few short steps to the middle of shops and restaurants. The cottage is exactly as advertised. Extremely clean and very tastefully decorated. Nice touches like quality bath towels, snacks, and the bed and pillows are very comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet despite being so close to all the shopping. Will definitely stay here again! Talia and Gabbi are excellent VRBO hostesses.

Our stay at "The Nantucket" was exceptional. The property is the cleanest VRBO we have experienced, the aesthetics were beautiful, very welcoming. Its location closely, accessible to the downtown area, was perfect. Mount Dora is certainly a place ,we will revisit. Our many thanks to Talia

I actually was upgraded

The hosts of this property are very professional and on top of the rentals. When I arrived at the Nantucket for my 11:00 am reservation the hosts immediately arrived to advise the unit cleaning had not been done and immediately offer The Baker House for me to stay in. Very apologetic for the inconvenience (which was not a problem). Helped me to move my things and stayed to make sure I was satisfied. I was MORE than satisfied.Baker House is a historic remodeled 2BR 1Bath home.It has all of the conviences of a home with a nice sitting room in the back for morning coffee or relaxing. The outside patio features a firepit and very comfortable chairs. The backyard is great for your pet to explore as they are pet friendly. Book this property. You will love it!
