About this house rental

This 4Br/2ba 1940’s Bamboo Bungalow is located in downtown Mount Dora, Fl . Known for art festivals and for having one of the largest antique flea markets around, Renningers just 3 mins away. The opening of the 429 makes it a quick ride to Disney and Universal. Pet friendly shopping and award winning restaurants are within walking distance with live bands and local beer from Mt. Dora Brew Pub. Catch a play at the Ice House Theatre or watch the sunset by the Lighthouse overlooking Lake Dora.

Take a trip down memory lane as you look around the house and see a mix of antique items I ve hand picked out directly from “Renningers Antique Flea Market” combined with new age decor and furniture. Every room in this vintage home has a Memory foam mattress, towel sets, new pillows and new sheets.

FUN FACT- Neighbors tell me I purchased the first elementary school of Mount Dora which was placed here in the 40 s by a sweet woman named Mrs. Race.

Inside the bamboo surrounded Bungalow you’ll find an open kitchen with all your basic kitchen essential. Open up the first set of French doors which lead to a separate living room or a possible 4th bedroom with a pull out queen-sized sofa bed and a Smart TV. The next set of French doors lead to the back porch equipped with a BBQ grill, lots of greenery and is fenced in. By the garage a mud room with a washer and dryer for your convenience.

In the morning enjoy brunch at “One flight up” overlooking the downtown area. Visit Gilbert Park with the kiddos or take a pontoon boat tour and learn about the history of Mount Dora as it flows down the Dora Canal. Shopping downtown is always fun with so many little shops with antiques to choose from. Walk over to the brewery and later grab a bite at one of the more popular pizza places around, (PizzAmore). So many restaurants to choose from to include Cuban, Italian, British, American, Thai, Mexican…the list goes on. 12 miles away in Apopka, Florida visit one of my favorite places around, Kelly Park Rock Springs. Here you can cruise down an all-natural lazy river with crystal blue waters and some of Florida s natural landscape for a relaxing day out. During the evening of the colder months the functioning fireplace is sure to keep you warm. If you’re in town during the holidays, take a walk downtown and see the many many lights and Christmas décor Mount Dora is also known for.

By far the most beautifully decorated and comfortable VRBO we have ever stayed in - we wanted to stay longer. We enjoyed the springs nearby and a sunset cruise on Lake Dora. Jessica responded quickly to any questions and even went to check on the property before we arrived to make sure things were in order.

The Blue Bungalow is an adorable property that was found to be very clean, nicely decorated and well equipped. However the house is advertised as a 5 min walk to restaurants. It is 5 min by car but not walking distance for the elderly. The house does not have a reversible a/c unit for heat. The only way to keep warm is using the fireplace that we are not familiar with it and had no instructions for its use. Sometimes the temp inside was about 40 degrees and it was hotter outside than inside.The house can use a little TLC in some places like entrance to 2nd bathroom by laundry area that had a lot of things that could have been put away inside the garage and not for guests viewing. This by no means criticizing the property, just merely to contribute to a better experience. I would gladly rent the house in summer when the weather is warmer. Thank you Jessica for a great 3 day mini vacation in Mt Dora.

This was a charming house that has it all, the outside area with a deck and fire pit was just perfect for this cold weekend. It was pet friendly with a fully fenced backyard. The host even had a pet basket with needed bowls and such in case you forgot yours. The beds were super comfy. Highly recommend this location if you want to explore Mt. Dora as it is central to downtown and Renningers.

The sweetest little house decorated in a shabby chic style that we absolutely loved. Jessica made the house so inviting for our pre Christmas stay with all the essentials needed and a spacious yard for my girlfriends Shih Tzu. We will definitely come back for another visit.

Owner was so helpful, especially when we locked ourselves out of the house. Beautiful home, and very comfortable. Would love to stay again if we can figure out how to get downtown without using the car. Was too far to walk for a couple of the ladies. Peaceful and great for the animals.

Property has been very neglected

Property has been very neglected

Specifically, the front and back yards are just dirt. The photo shows grass, no way. There were open food items in the cupboards with expiration dates in 2019. Yuk. Couch and padded chairs were stained and looked greasy. Towels on one bed were damp. Towels on another bed were stained. Bedspread on one bed was stained red/brown. Rug on back porch had black mold. The freezer has 2 inches of frost. I wouldn't recommend this property to anyone.

Loved this little house! The inside was clean and was in a good location. The owner did a good job decorating the house. Very cute. I just wish that the patio part we could have used. It needed to be cleaned up a bit.

A long Weekend in the Little Blue Bungalow

A long Weekend in the Little Blue Bungalow

The Bungalow is charming ! The decor is lovely and inviting , right down to the welcome note on a chalkboard . The beds were very comfortable and linens crisp . The kitchen was well equipped and roomy . It was a pleasant experience to stay in this house . The Only negative was the yard . It was fenced and roomy but in need of “ grooming” badly . There was more dirt than turf and a child or dog would not have enjoyed playing there .

Our daughter got married in Mount Dora and we needed a home base for the wedding weekend, this home was only 15 minutes from Sydonie Mansion (the venue) and a 5 minute drive to Pisces Rising for rehearsal dinner. The home was very comfortably appointed, was very clean and tidy, easy check in process, beautiful yard and after a long wedding day we truly appreciated the extremely comfortable beds and plush linens!!!

We needed a place for a week long 'staycation' as we were moving between homes in Orlando. Close enough to manage the daily move process while providing a getaway to the charm of Mt. Dora. The house is 'adorable' as my wife put it and was as advertised. Property manager was easy to reach and flexible on a last minute date extension. Highly recommended for anyone needing a little space while visiting the area.
