The owners were so nice and helpful. There was an issue to with the lock (100% user error) and they helped get me get in and dropped a key.The furniture was comfortable and everything was super clean.The location was perfect. It was just about 2 blocks to the downtown area with the shops and restaurants. I can't say enough how nice it was that we did not have to search for parking!!

Perfect Spot

The Nantucket is a beautifully appointed cottage right near town. The location could not be better. It was so quiet in terms of street noise but it was steps away from shops and restaurants. I highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Perfect cozy place to stay. Had everything needed to enjoy a weekend of biking in beautiful mount dora. Listing is exactly as shown. Was welcomed with a nice bottle of wine. Enjoyed complimentary coffee and appreciated toiletries and even provided melatonin gummies if needed. Will definitely rent again for next year bike fest. Such an easy stroll to downtown and 1/2 block to pickleball courts :).

We stayed at the Nantucket for a weekend romantic getaway. It is such a perfect property: gorgeous, clean, comfortable, and all the amenities you need. Lots of little touches that made our stay even more special. Super close to downtown shops and restaurants. Loved, loved, loved the Nantucket and can't wait to stay there again!

Excellent location! Just a few short steps to the middle of shops and restaurants. The cottage is exactly as advertised. Extremely clean and very tastefully decorated. Nice touches like quality bath towels, snacks, and the bed and pillows are very comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet despite being so close to all the shopping. Will definitely stay here again! Talia and Gabbi are excellent VRBO hostesses.

I actually was upgraded

The hosts of this property are very professional and on top of the rentals. When I arrived at the Nantucket for my 11:00 am reservation the hosts immediately arrived to advise the unit cleaning had not been done and immediately offer The Baker House for me to stay in. Very apologetic for the inconvenience (which was not a problem). Helped me to move my things and stayed to make sure I was satisfied. I was MORE than satisfied.Baker House is a historic remodeled 2BR 1Bath home.It has all of the conviences of a home with a nice sitting room in the back for morning coffee or relaxing. The outside patio features a firepit and very comfortable chairs. The backyard is great for your pet to explore as they are pet friendly. Book this property. You will love it!

Great feel

We had a great stay in Mount Dora at this snug cottage. The decor is charming and all that we needed was close at hand. Talia was great to work with and went out of her way when we ran into a couple of glitches. The location is close to the center of all that is happening. The neighborhood is a well kept historical Old Florida type style. We would stay here again and we would want to rent from Talia again.
