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.

Mt Dora Review 8-23-2025

Exactly as described! Perfect for a couple. Kitchen was complete enough to make a huge batch of baked Rigatoni. Bed was comfy loungers power reclined and the air was cold on hot days. The pool was cleaned daily and wonderful. Great parking. Private fenced back yard. Literally minutes from cute downtown Mt Dora. I will stay here the next time we visit my Dad.

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.

Disappointed

We were disappointed that the host never came to greet us. She knew we were Deaf and it would have been nice if she had greeted us. It seemed so strange we never saw the host. She was right next to our little cozy place. The place was nice.

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.

Getting an economical place to stay does not become adequate consideration for a place far below the standards of economy motels.

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.

Mt Dora in Jan

Overall the property was as advertised. Marcia was very responsive to any requests and communicated very well. The unit was small but comfortable. The recliners were nice. My only issue was that there is no sidewalk to the unit (walk over sandy soil with tree roots), and the floor seemed like it hadn't been mopped (socks became especially dirty after walking on floors). The location was great with all of the amenities you would need. It's close to downtown but in a quiet neighborhood with restaurants very close by.
