About this property
The Carlton* 3 min walk to Downtown Mt. Dora!!
This property is just a short 3-minute walk to the main shopping and dining district of Mount Dora. First time on the market this beautifully decorated 900 square foot 5 Star rental has been recently remodeled to reflect its carriage house feel. As you enter into the living room you immediately notice the fine attention to detail in all the wood moldings along with the vintage style floors. A 65” 4K television that features Netflix and Hulu Live programming is available for your viewing pleasure. The kitchenette features sleek granite countertops, a stainless steel refrigerator with ice-maker, dishwasher and microwave as well as a Keurig coffee station. The island with bar stools and matching countertops features an induction cooktop. A ½ bath with full-size washer and dryer is immediately off the living room. As you enter the master suite you’ll notice a king-size bed with memory foam mattress with cooling gel and Egyptian cotton sheets. Handsome shiplap siding is featured in both the bedroom and on-suite bathroom. This bath features an over-sized walk-in shower to round out this nicely appointed space. The bedroom also includes a 55” 4K television. For additional guests, a sleeper sofa with a comfortable memory foam mattress is located in the living room. There is an outside porch with 2 bar height chairs where you can enjoy a glass of wine while you watch the sun go down!

Cozy accommodations for my wife and I to wind down after a hectic holiday season. The house was spotless, furniture comfy, and the location peaceful. Really enjoyed our short time there.
Beautiful and comfortable VRBO off a quiet street but also close to everything within walking distance downtown in Mt Dora! Very thoughtful host we loved the welcome gift thanks! We had a wonderful stay and we will be back! Highly recommend.
We have stayed in many rental units, but the property was by far the best. The host's attention to detail was incredible. The unit is tastefully decorated and updated to the highest standards. It would be difficult to find something better than this. Our compliments to the host. It is an easy walk to downtown Mount Dora and just a few steps from Tony's Chowder House and their award winning clam chowder. Great place, great town and a great stay.
The Carlton was super cute, clean, and in a great location. Bonus for me was they accommodated my large dog! I appreciated the quick response to my questions prior to booking. Great stay, I highly recommend this property!
The Carlton is a great property in a great location!! Unbeknownst to us, we stayed at the same property in a different unit (Ingram)a few years ago and we were equally satisfied!
Truly adored our stay at “The Carlton”. Super private and in a wonderful location. Literally 2 blocks from boutique stores. Thank you for a special place for the weekend!
Everything was as advertised. Lots of nice touches like wine and truffles waiting for us on arrival, a well stocked Keurig and designated parking. We really enjoyed our stay. Being able to walk to shops and restaurants was an added bonus.

Toni,
Thank you so much for taking the time out to write such a nice review! Your words truly mean a lot to us. We are so thankful that you chose to stay with us during your time in Mount Dora. Our goal is to make our guests feel like they are right at home when they visit our vacation rental. We hope to see you again in the future.
Thanks again,
Talia
Extremely clean, spacious, and great location. I really couldn’t find anything that I didn’t like about this property. They pretty much thought of everything. It’s adorable! We will definitely stay again
The Carlton was very nice, updated and cozy. It had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable. Pets are allowed and there is a small yard in the back. It did take some time for management to respond via Vrbo and text, but I believe she was on vacation at the time. The second person she gave us the number to did not respond to a call or on Vrbo. The only issue we had was that there was someone staying in the room above us the 2nd night and we could hear them walking and moving things until 2am. That is not managements fault of course so hopefully if someone is staying above you, they go to bed at a decent time...lol. I would definitely recommend!
This place is so cute and comfy! It’s definitely made to be your home away from home. The decor is just beautiful, the remodel was done top notch. They have thought of everything you will need. It is clean, the location is perfect with walk ability to town. Communication is always quick. This is our new favorite VBRO! We will go back for sure!
The Franklin is a perfectly appointed home located within walking distance to all that Mount Dora has to offer. This is our second time staying at one of Talia’s rentals and we have had nothing but good experiences. The setup with the bedroom downstairs and it’s own wet bar and the pull out sofa upstairs with its own half bath was the ideal accommodation for our party. We look forward to returning!
