Historic District's Crescent Moon Cottage
About this house rental
Situated in Mount Dora, this lovely house for R 2,663 per night is a great option for your next break. Delight in the charms of the Crescent Moon Cottage, a fully remodeled 1940’s cottage in the Historic District, just blocks away from all the action in downtown Mt. Dora. It has the charm of the past and the conveniences of today. (Please review our other historic district cottage the Celtic Moon Cottage - property #948380) Enjoy a relaxing getaway, in the fully furnished, 2 bedrooms, one bath, 1100 sqft cottage. Begin your day with a cup of coffee on the lovely enclosed sun porch or on the private back patio. Stretch your legs with a six block walk to the center of town. Browse the quaint boutiques and shops, have lunch at one of the many cafes, bars and restaurants. Watch the neighbors stroll by on a bench in Donnelly Park, view the sunset over the lake at the Mt. Dora Lighthouse, or catch a play at the Ice House Theatre. Hungry? Prepare a gourmet meal in the fully equipped kitchen, and serve it in the vintage style dining room. Then as the night winds down, cozy up to a good book in an overstuffed chair in the living room. For the person that needs to be ‘connected’ the cottage is fully wired with cable and Wi-Fi. As you succumb to sleep, climb into the king size bed in the master bedroom or one of two twin beds in the guest bedroom. At the Crescent Moon Cottage you won’t “feel” at home, you’ll be at home.

We loved the cottage. The way it is decorated, furnished, supplied - and it's proximity to town is everything you would ever want. We enjoyed a pleasant walk down into town every single day. Our hosts were more than communicative. Every time we asked a question an answer came back immediately. We cannot think of a better experience we have had with a VRBO rental. Delightful throughout.

My self , sister and mother wanted to getaway for the holiday. We are native from Miami and never heard of Mt Dora. We absolutely loved our stay. The location was superb. Walking distance to everything. The cottage was fabulous. It’s was very clean, fully stocked and loved the decor. We will be telling all our friends and family. It’s a hidden gem . 😀😀

My wife and I live in Miami and visit Mt. Dora at least once a year. We normally stay at the Lakeside Inn but it was booked for the weekend we had planned. We found the Crescent Moon Cottage and we couldn't have been happier. The Location was walking distance from the shops and restaurants, the house was comfortable and nicer than we expected, and we got way more for our money than if we had stayed at a hotel. Overall we would highly recommend the cottage.

This was our first experience renting from VRBO and it was amazing! The home was not only convenient to the downtown area of Mount Dora but was lovely, tidy and equipped with everything you needed! Debbie was a great host and was there when you needed her or had any questions. A wonderful stay and we will be back! Thanks so much Debbie!

Our family of four absolutely loved our experience at this home. It was such a wonderful stay! The location was perfect for a nice walk downtown or just a stroll through the neighborhoods. The space was nicely laid out and was spacious for our needs. The owners do a fabulous job with the amenities. Thank you for a great stay over the 4th holiday.

I felt like every decoration was placed with the utmost care. The little extras made the week so smooth, such as laundry pods and dish soap......those little things that you need but forget to pack. The katsup left behind by the previous user make our hot dogs tasty, so I left our butter and frozen veggies for the next person :). The air conditioning was a refreshing welcome when we came home from work each day. We were in town for work but this vrbo was the perfect choice as it started to really feel like home. Debbie is great. I mean great. And her hubby too :) Thank you for turning this home into a vrbo.
