We enjoyed our stay and especilly the location just steps from the downtown shops and restsurants. The unit was very clean with a comfortable sitting area, tv, bed, make up table, and a well equiped kitchen. We were happy that our dog had comfortable space and yard, as well. Thanks! We plan to return!

A hop, skip and jump, the proximity of downtown Mt Dora from this accommodation is a 2-minute walk. Restaurants, quaint gift-shops and most especially a boardwalk with nature tails bordering Lake Mt Dora await.

My only suggestion would be to have some type of aroma plugs, or incense to help with the ambience of the unit to become even more inviting

If you are going to Mt. Dora, this is the place to stay! Randy and Lu Anne, the owners, are lovely people who answer any question within seconds! The property is exceptionally clean and comfortable. Nice Adirondack chairs that we took advantage of outside every night and early morning with coffee. Being 1 block from the village is an added bonus. Convenient to all shopping and dining and sightseeing. I could not have asked for a more perfect place to stay with my 90 year old mother. Should I return I will certainly book this gem again!

This is a very comfortable relaxing place to stay. The description and pictures are accurate. Not having a washer and dryer was not a big deal although it would have been convenient. The host were amazing and very helpful. I look forward to coming back another day.

This is an adorable little cottage that’s part of a triplex. The parking space is perfect. The home is easy to get in and out of. It is within walking distance of downtown Mt. Dora and the lake. Randy and LuAnne were wonderful to work with and the whole process from start to finish was seamless. I would definitely recommend this VRBO home for anyone visiting Mt. Dora. I, too, plan to stay “Under the Palms” again!

Great Location and Great Hosts

House was very close to downtown Mount Dora, which is what we were looking for, park the vehicle and walk everywhere. Pictures could not have been spot on anymore then they were, walking into the home was like walking in to the pictures. Hosts were very nice and easy to work with, we will be back to Mount Dora and will utilize "Under the Palms" again.
