We loved this cute little cottage for a quick weekend in Mount Dora. The cottage was beautifully decorated, had all the amenities we needed and was very comfortable. The location could not be more perfect, super close to all the best restaurants, the waterfront and shopping. We can’t wait to stay again!

My husband and I loved this place. It is exactly the right size for 2 people and a fur baby. The neighborhood is great, I felt very safe walking my dog at night. Downtown is about 2 blocks away, which made it perfect walking distance. I highly recommend any property managed by Talia.

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 :).

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.

Best three day away ever

Our stay at "The Nantucket" was exceptional. The property is the cleanest VRBO we have experienced, the aesthetics were beautiful, very welcoming. Its location closely, accessible to the downtown area, was perfect. Mount Dora is certainly a place ,we will revisit. Our many thanks to Talia

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.
