Great Stay

This property met all my expectations and more. The bedrooms are actually bigger than they appear online. The house was very clean and generously stocked with everything we needed, and a lot of things we didn't use but were nice to know were there in case we needed them. Communication with the management was very good. The living spaces were so comfortable to be in, we hardly left the house. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful property

We stayed at this location for two weeks and absolutely loved our time there. Its location was ideal as our trip included stops in St. Augustine, Orlando and of course Mt. Dora. The house was clean and prepped for our stay. The bedrooms were big and nicely decorated. The common space was also immaculate and comfortable. Cannot recommend the house more.

Perfect Family Gathering Home

This property was cozy, comfortable, clean, quiet and overall perfect for our family. The kitchen was well stocked. We cooked and grilled our meals. We look forward to more vacations there as we have family nearby. Also, the hostess was lovely and was an excellent communicator.

Three Oaks Cottage

Three Oaks Cottage was an ideal rental. The cleanliness was outstanding! We loved the front porch and the yard space. The home was fully equipped with extra linens, paper goods, laundry supplies, and a fully stocked kitchen that included spices and baking supplies! For us, the location was perfect; we could walk to our son's home, just a couple of blocks away. We are hoping to re-book in a couple of months. We enjoyed a wonderful stay!
