We had no problem with checking in and communicating with the owner. The building was clean and stocked. The problem started when a local raccoon came to the property. I contacted the owner she was aware of the issue. We picked up the cat food that was left outside that he was going after. We shooed him away 4 times. Finally I went inside. He came and put his feet in the pool. He walked around the building we were in after sitting on the deck and doing a little grooming. He would not leave. I was not happy. We wanted to grill outside and eat dinner. We could NOT!! We paid for the use of the items described in the listing grill, pool and patio. We were unable to use the amenities offered.After my text with the owner she came home and looked around. She did not come to check on us or communicate via text. At that time I decided we would not come to a good resolution. My husband went outside to talk to her. She said there was nothing she could do. She couldn’t afford to have the raccoon trapped and relocated. She said he was harmless and put out another bowl of cat food for her cats on the property. At which time I contacted VRBO and inquired about a refund. We loved the cats! They were wonderful and welcoming. Unfortunately they like to eat outside and that invites unwanted guests. Before we arrived the owner knew of the situation we were not notified of this before we arrived. I would have asked for a refund and not entered the property.
I knocked on the door and opened it he would not leave.
Wish we could have been in the pool.
Had to stay indoors. It would not leave
Cat door in the bathroom. It was locked but I kept the door closed to the inside unit.

The place is exactly as advertised. Cozy retreat, nothing fancy, and a great location for Mt. Dora. The only hiccup was the parking. It wasn't clear to me where the host wanted me to park. She wasn't very nice when clarifying. Unfortunately, the parking isn't next to the cottage but on the other side of the property. I do understand why--she doesn't want people to fall into the pool. My concern was where my car needed to be parked was too far away to hear if my car alarm went off.

I arrived at 4 in the afternoon. At 7 I tried to get on my iPad to answer emails. It would connect to Wi-Fi but not load the gmail app. So I texted the host about whether there was a place in the cottage that was better for reception. Also tv did not work. She came over to the cottage and was yelling that everything was working and this was user problem. It all bothered her. I moved out, and texted her the next morning that I had moved out. In her yelling she said that just because she lived close that didn’t mean she should come over and this was not an emergency. I did not request a visit. She needed to work and could not do anything. I needed to work also. I said I would get out of her way. I will not be treated that way.

I don’t like to leave bad reviews but This was the worst place I have ever stayed. I sent a message to the owner with no response and I normally wouldn’t do this but I am concerned about the safety. There were many safety issues. To get to the house you had to walk through a yard that was covered in acorns. Had parts of an old sidewalk that was broken and had pieces sticking up and very uneven. At night there were no outside lights and we had to use our flashlights from our phones so we could see and not trip on the concrete. The deck to get in the unit was very spongy and not safe. I’m surprised we didn’t go through it. The pictures posted are nothing like it really is and the description was inaccurate. The pool was full of stuff and not running. It was not private as advertised. There wasn’t a fire pit area. The patio area was dirty. The TV didn’t work, it wasn’t even plugged in. My husband had to move the TV cabinet to find the plug and the remote wasn’t working. There wasn’t any cable or satellite like advertised. The WIFI didn’t work. The blinds were all broken and didn’t close all the way. The owner lived on site and we saw him watching us from a window but never came out to greet us or say hi. The good things were it was really close to downtown MT Dora and the bed was comfortable. Make sure you bring your own clock !!

Cute Place

The a/c does not cool the room efficiently, so it made for a hard two nights of sleep. There was a lot of outside noise that contributed to the lack of sleep. (party at the house behind the unit, people talking loudly in the lot next to unit) It is a cute and clean unit although very small. The mattress was very soft. The pool was nice and clean. Check in was easy, and the communication with the owner was good.

Awful

The worst experience ever. The woman had a cat on the property and in the unit and my girlfriend is allergic to cats. She couldn’t breathe and her throat swelled up. We texted with the property owner to come out of her residence to speak with us but she declined. We had to pack up our things and leave without even staying one night of our two night stay. We want our money back.

Fees out of control

The pool house was absolutely lovely. I really enjoyed my stay but I thought it was above and beyond what should be required if you're going to charge me $80 to clean you expect me to strip the beds and take the trash out. This will cause me not to come back even though I enjoyed my stay here. I know it's not the homeowner's choice. It's VRBO but that will cost you return visitors

Good for us!

Nice little cottage, that worked well for my husband and me. We’re walkers, but it was a bit too far to walk to downtown since there weren’t sidewalks and it was raining off and on. Comfy seating area, nice kitchenette with good set up for coffee all ready to go. Could easily have cooked meals! I’m sure it would have been even nicer in pleasant weather to use pool and grill! Plenty of towels and a nice step in shower. Could use a few spruce up touches…repair TP holder, add some shower soap, etc, but worked for us.
