The property was extremely clean, very cute and home feeling. Right in the heart of Mount Dora, a short and easy walk to the lake and all the shops. Entertainment was phenomenal! Live music sounded better than Nashville. Communication was fast and very effective. Listing is very accurate. Considering another trip for a long weekend! Our stay was too short.

I will start off with the positive. The property is in a great location, it's very cute and quaint. It is older, but that just brings more charm in my opinion. The unit and furnishing are in good condition.
Now the negative. 1) When we reserved the room for the sole purpose of attending the craft festival that was happening that weekend, it would have been helpful if the owners stayed on top of the events in the area. When there is an event in downtown Mt Dora, the streets are closed to traffic and there is no parking permitted. The closest parking we could find was three city blocks away. This makes quite a journey up/down a pretty steep hill to take things to and from your vehicle. 2) there are two units above the store that are owned by this same property mgmt company. Above each units doors are the name Dora and Alexander. Nowhere in the reservation does it tell you what unit you are in, so we just had to try the combination on both doors until it worked. 3) When we entered the apartment it had not been cleaned after the prior tenant. we attempted to contact the owners, and we contacted VRBO, and nobody was successful in reaching them. We left several voicemails and they were never returned. I also located the property management companies website and sent a message there and there was no response. It was very concerning to be in a condo that had no property management contact if there were any major issues. I also don't feel they change the combination for the lock.

Being in the heart of downtown allowed us to go out and about without worrying about finding a parking spot.

Location is amazing - HOWEVER
I never received the access code to the door or any information for that matter.
I called, texted, and contacted through the VBRO app I NEVER heard from the property manager.
I spent over an hour on the phone with VBRO and never got an access code.
Luckily, when we arrived the store owner downstairs was able to help us access the property. I just wonder what would happen if he wasn’t there.
We asked about parking and we’re told the street was fine. Then Sunday morning when trying to leave we were blocked in due to a street festival.
Mt Dora is a fun, quaint place just not without information 😡

When we arrived the unit had not been cleaned after the prior guests. It got cleaned and we were able to move at about 7pm. Even with the cleaning the unit needs a DEEP cleaning, for example, walking in bare feet resulted in black bottomed feet after aN hour or so. Kitchen has the barest minimum of utensils and cookware. Our first morning we got a call and were told that we were in the wrong unit, even though it was the one for which we were given the door code. We were told that other people were coming in that day but they didn’t come until two days later. The owner was called the first night and he said he would pay for dinner while the unit was being cleaned - still haven’t seen reimbursement for our dinner. VRBO also said it would process a $50 refund for the cleaning, haven’t seen that yet either. We love Mt Dora but we will not stay in this property again.
The condos are located in the heart of downtown Mount Dora, FL. These beautifully furnished upstairs suites are a place to relax and enjoy a weekend, week or month.
The Dora has a King Master bedroom with a queen in the second bedroom. There is also a small room with a twin bed. It also has a full kitchen, living and dining area. There is lots to enjoy being directly downtown. You can walk to have a glass of wine and enjoy a nice dinner then take a stroll around town and make your way back or maybe opt to take a horseless buggy ride, Segway tour or ghost walk. This condo is in the heart of the entertainment district so there is sometimes music playing at night. Feel free to enjoy the ambiance!
