About this house rental
Welcome to my home! I purchased the property in 2020 from a friend when she decided to sell. I spent many years coming down for Thanksgiving, love spending time here and think others will as well!
The home was built in 1927. When you walk into the house, you'll be greeted by the living room. There is seating for four people with two love seats across from each other. The room includes a Smart TV with a Blu-Ray DVD player. Feel free to log in to your favorite streaming service and enjoy your shows! Please note that I do not have any TV service. There is a fireplace but it does not work and cannot be used.
Just off the living room is the Sun Room. I've set this room up with a small table and chairs for paying cards or board games. You will find these games in the cabinet when you walk in.
The dining room is just off the other side of the living room with seating for 6 people. Between the dining room and the kitchen is a small desk for you to use if you need. I also have a wireless HP printer that you can use to print if needed.
I've recently updated half of the kitchen with new cabinets, sink, countertop and added a dishwasher. There is a new gas stove and newer French door fridge. If you continue past the fridge, you will find the washer and dryer for your use as well. Just past that, you will find the back door leading out to the rear porch. I've screened in the rear porch and it has a small bistro table with two seats. PLEASE NOTE - the back porch no longer has a screen door on it. I am in the process of having that replaced so for time being it's not fully sealed off. It's a great place to sit outside and enjoy the warm weather Off of the rear porch is the backyard that is fenced in.
Each bedroom will hold two people - the master bedroom has one double bed and the second bedroom has two single beds. I've installed blackout curtains in both of the rooms ensuring a great night’s sleep! Each bedroom has a TV and Blu Ray player that connects to the internet for streaming using your favorite streaming service. Please note I do not have any tv service in the house.
The house has central heating and A/C with ceiling fans in most all the rooms.
At the end of the bedroom hallway is the bathroom. It includes a sink, toilet and a claw foot tub with a shower. Please use the step stool and/or cane to get in and out of the tub.
One thing you will notice is that I am into commercial airlines. On most of the walls you will find retro airline ads as well as various airplane models. I have been collecting these items since I was just a child and follow the industry very closely.
Historic Mt Dora is a wonderful place to walk through the streets, see the quaint shops and have an amazing meal! It's about a 15 to 20 mins walk from the house and is basically straight down the road. Downtown is located next to the lake and has a great parks and trails that you can enjoy during the day.
Don't want to walk that far? Right around the corner from the house are a few restaurants as well. Jeremiah's is a personal favorite, and the fried chicken dinner is awesome! 7 mins by car will bring you over to Vincent's Italian, get the Tour of Italy, it's amazing! 5 mins by car is large Publix Grocery Store with a Liquor Store attached. 15 mins by car will get you to a Walmart and Target.
I do allow pets but please note that while the backyard is fenced in, most dogs and cats can easily get under or over the fence. I just ask that you also pick up after your pet. Any damages to the furniture will be charged to have it repaired or replaced.
I also allow smoking on the back porch and the backyard. Please close the back door first. If there is any smoking inside the house, there will be a $250 fee added.
Please feel free to message me with any questions or comments.
I do hope you'll enjoy the area and have a very relaxing vacation while you're here!
Thanks!

This was a wonderful, well-stocked rental very conveniently located for our purposes of visiting a local friend. The property owner checked in number times to assure that we had everything we needed. The home was very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend this rental.

Very adorable home. Looks just like the pictures. Scott is a great host and provides your instructions well in advance. Everything you could need (and more) was provided. Home is very comfortable to stay at. Even an umbrella which was great for us since it was a rainy weekend. Looking forward to staying again the next time we are in the area. Thanks again Scott for being such a great host

Such a cute property and so close to downtown Mt Dora. The host was very responsive. Parking was great as it was off-street and had plenty of room for our two Jeeps. We go to an event in the area a few times a year and will definitely keep this property on our go-to list.

Perfect place for a midweek weekend getaway! The airplane house was centrally located and downtown was so close. Comfortable and well stocked with anything you might need. We will be back!

Mt Dora is a great little town. The house is in a nice area, felt safe. We had a family get together and we had everything we needed for dishes, hygiene, paper products and linens. 4 of us stayed, with our two dogs - 11 of us for the day of the get together. Scott was available whenever we needed him. Definitely 4 stars.

The house was wonderful and so was the host, he was ok with me extending my time to leave. Everything I needed was there, plus the house is super cute. The beds were comfortable, the AC was great, plenty of ice (which I needed for the cooler). Best kept little secret in Mount Dora. Thank you Scott for being a great host!

Scott was so quick to respond each time! Very helpful! The place is awesome. So comfortable and decorated great! I am a bathroom towel rack/towel bar snob and I was happy to have so many places to hang my towels and clothes! Location is perfect for everything you want to do in Mount Dora! Would definitely stay here again!

The property has windows galore which floods the interior with light. It is well appointed, including amenities we haven't found at other properties we've viewed. Our host, Scott, could not have been more gracious and accommodating! Location was spot-on beginning w/ Jeremiah's Restaurant/ Bar a block and a half away and downtown (chock full of wonderful restaurants and shops) was maybe 3-4 minutes drive. We can definitely recommend this lovely house! Thanks Scott!

Overall this was a nice stay. Close to the downtown area and other attractions. House was well equipped with all the necessary stuff (cleaning/laundry/cooking/basic supplies). Fenced yard worked great for my dogs, it was very secure. Owner was great to communicate with. Had no issues. Only suggestion would be more comfortable outdoor lounge chairs.

The house was just what we needed. It was comfortable and well appointed. It is walking distance to the main business area in Mt Dora. Our host made the process easy. Also the little extras helped elevate the home. For example the towels are extra plush and the beds extremely comfortable.

We stayed at Scott's house for the art festival. We were walking distance to everything we needed and never felt unsafe while being there. The best were so comfortable and the check out process was the easiest I've ever had. We will be staying again!

Booked this house while visiting a friend in Tavares. I didn't know anything about either town, but fell in love with the area and the house. Love the little quirks, old style house, that keeps with it's age, without losing it's character.

This place is has a nice location. Close to a few great place to eat.Can walk to them. Also about a 10-15 min walk to downtown. We like that it was fence in so we could let a dog out. it had a place to set up your computer. Was nicely stock.
Are only issue we had was getting in and out of the tub. There was no bars to help support you. At our age( over 65) it is hard to lift your legs that high. Overall we really like the place. Very easy to communicate with Scott. Would stay here again if available the nixt time we come to Mount Dora.

I was in Mt Dora with family and friends to celebrate my sister's life. I have rented several houses in Mt Dora to come to the Arts and Craft fair and this is one of my favorites! Extremely clean and well furnished. And the owner Scott was so kind and friendly. Answered all my questions and inquiries right away. I would highly recommend renting this home! Thank you Scott for everything!!

Perfect Holiday Weekend Getaway
The house was clean and well-stocked with anything one might forget to pack. Beds were comfy, and the kitchen had everything you could need. Neighborhood is quiet. Our family enjoyed our time playing games when it rained too much for going downtown. Scott was very helpful and considerate throughout the process. I highly recommend this rental.
