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!

Perfect Spot

The Nantucket is a beautifully appointed cottage right near town. The location could not be better. It was so quiet in terms of street noise but it was steps away from shops and restaurants. I highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Great feel

We had a great stay in Mount Dora at this snug cottage. The decor is charming and all that we needed was close at hand. Talia was great to work with and went out of her way when we ran into a couple of glitches. The location is close to the center of all that is happening. The neighborhood is a well kept historical Old Florida type style. We would stay here again and we would want to rent from Talia again.
