Wonderful hide-a-way!!

This home is actually better than advertised! The outdoor areas are lush and so relaxing. The interior is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. This kitchen was exceptionally well stocked, as were the bathrooms. We enjoyed every minute! The only negative, for the guys, was there were no local TV stations on which to watch their football games 😂😂 We would definitely stay there again - and actually would love to live there!!

I think it is accurate to say, you cant judge the property until you enter the front garden thru the privacy fence! After that, it is an absolutely perfect accommodation. Every convenience is there for our needs. Very relaxing environment.

Cozy, comfortable and convenient

Holly is a wonderful host! This is a great place to stay. All the comforts of home and convenient to a variety of attractions/places. Mount Dora has some nice places to eat and visit (shout-out to PizzAmore, their food is awesome). Mount Dora has a lovely downtown area too. Lots of local shops to browse. And Orlando is just a short drive away if that's what you prefer. The beds were quite comfortable, and so were the recliners and couch. We LOVE the screened porch and spent quite a bit of time out there relaxing and just enjoying the lovely weather. We ate breakfast out there twice. :-) The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need. We plan on staying here again next year.

One more time trip

I brought my 94 year old Mother to Florida to do one of her bucket list items, see the Ocean one more time. Hollys Hideaway was perfect for her easy access to home and shower, close to my Sister and Niece. Mom loved the house and decor our stay was pleasant and peaceful.

Charming property in a quiet neighborhood

Holly’s Hideaway was perfect for our Labor Day getaway. It is in a quiet neighborhood minutes from downtown Mt Dora. Renniger’s flea market and antique center is literally around the corner on 441 and there is also a grocery store (Publix) less than 2 miles away. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly need and the screened lanai was awesome. The host was quick to respond to every question and gave clear instructions for where to park and how to enter the property. We would definitely stay here again!!!!

Nicest VRBO I have stayed in yet

Everything was perfect! Holly's Hideaway was spotless and very comfortable. Equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. Great location, nice private yard and screened lanai. Holly even provided a complimentary bottle of wine. She also contacted us to ask if everything was good. I highly recommend this rental.

I don’t know where to start when it comes to Holly and her home. Holly was absolutely a pleasure, responsive and has a great sense of humor! The home was exquisite. Every little detail was thought through carefully. Everything from coffee filters to towels to games and movies. The patio and lanai were heavenly. The beds were so comfortable we could hardly get out of them! Everything worked beautifully. The decor was whimsical and beautiful. It was such a perfect stay. We can hardly wait to return!
