Girls week

Sweet little place with everything necessary that you could possibly need and super clean. We loved the little special touches thoughout. It is located nicely with walking distance to town and about a 15 minute walk. We walked back and forth a couple times a day, nice walk. We sat out on the front porch every morning and it was quiet, all you heard were the birds chirping. There is a nice area out back for lounging and in addition a firepit. Super quiet at night also. Mt. Dora is a special town with many boutiques, galleries, shops & restaurants. We also took the boat ride down the canal with Rusty Anchor, its always a must see for me in Mt. Dora and love sharing it with others. Tavares is only about 10 minutes away with a wonderful roof top lounge, bi-planes flying over the water and several waterfront restaurants. Its a great area for exploring. I am familiar with the area but my friend from North Carolina had never been and absolutely loved it! Favorite restaurants while there were Pisces Rising (great mojitos for 5 during happy hour!), Goblin Market and The Yardery. I would highly recommend The Mermaid Cottage, it won't dissapoint!

We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with a long weekend stay at The Mermaid House in Mount Dora. The house was perfect, the neighborhood great and close to downtown. When we had a question for the host he contacted us right away. Since it was very hot we didn’t get to enjoy the backyard oasis much. We hope to return in the fall
