Weekend Getaway

My wife and I had a very nice weekend stay at this property. It's a short 10 walk to downtown Mount Dora which was so nice not having to find parking. Enjoyed great restaurants, shopping and drinks on the lake. Bobbi was easy to communicate with and the house had everything we needed. We will be back on our next trip to the area.

Girls get away

The house was great! Very clean, well equipped, in a quiet neighborhood and a short walk into town. Tonys Chowder Cafe is along the walk and absolutely worth a visit!! Did not use the pool since the water was a bit too cold for us Florida girls. But enjoyed our morning coffees on the front screened porch. Would definitely stay here again.

Pluses: walking to downtown was a breeze, quite neighborhood, unit was very clean, pool was nice, adequate kitchen supplies, the host was very responsive to any issues. Things that could be improved on: soap and shampoo in both baths not just one, detailed instructions on how the door locked and unlocked, backup batteries for the TV remote, typed Wi-Fi password not hand written.

Historic District home close to downtown Mt. Dora

If you like to bike or walk you will additional enjoyment with this location as the town has made it simple to travel to the lake, park, shopping. The home is located in an historic home area and its enjoyable to see such unique landscapes. Other commerce is also very close. We enjoyed the house which has all the amenities needed, except an outside grill, which we didn't really miss.

Perfect place for our girls getaway. Location was great. In a very quiet neighborhood and just a short walk downtown. Check-in was easy. I texted her when we arrived and she immediately responded with the code to enter.The house was very clean, the kitchen had everything we needed and more and the bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The queen bed was way too firm for my liking but the king bed was perfect, (I’m used to a very soft memory foam mattress) and there were plenty of pillows.The pool was perfect for the four of us to float around in and relax. My only disappointment was that there were no lounge chairs, as pictured in the listing. We would definitely recommend a stay here and look forward to returning.

Thanks so much!

Excellent property with easy entry procedures. Property manager was easy to communicate with regarding check-in. Easy to connect to internet/TV.. The only thing we questioned was what to do on departure. We stripped sheets off the beds, left the towels hang to dry, and put trash in outside bin. Hopefully nothing else was needed as we found no "check out" instructions. Would certainly recommend to others. Easy walk to downtown Mt Dora!

Beautiful house

Beautiful 2 bedroom home with pool.The pool wasn’t heated so I didn’t venture in. Weather wasn’t the best in February as far as getting in the pool. We could walk to downtown Mount Dora which we loved! Great shops and restaurants there. The house was furnished with everything we needed. The host even bought a grill so we could cook out which was so nice! The laundry room was shared with other guests on the property. Everyone was very nice to us and our dog!

Horrible Experience

I should have knew something was wrong, 30 mins before arrival I receive a message telling me that the pool close at sunset. I ask the host was this a community pool and she said yes it’s shared. On VRBO it’s not listed and a community pool. The decors in the house was dated. The host deactivated the code cause my kids came over to shower. I end up leaving the next morning and had to get another house further away. Horrible Horrible experience, I do not recommend this property at all !

Perfect getaway

This place was wonderful. I give it a 9.5 rating. They lost a 1/2 point for single ply toilet paper and 1/2 point for coffee a year old upon arrival. Other than that, the place was perfect for a quick stay. Lightd on during check in, very welcoming. Water pressure was strong. Had a cigar in the very nice maintained back, where we met Barb, mom of owener. Very pleseant to speak with and was nice to give more coffee for next day. Downside is when Barb did Laundry and had a whole conversation while napping and voice bled through door in kitchen which is tied to laundry room. We came to do a craigcat tour and were pleseantly surprised to find out this was light up Mount Dora. Greal location for this as we were only 6 blocks away to walk. Highly recommend this place
