The Space:

Beautiful view of park/reserve formal living room and dining room with gourmet kitchen & large family room. Large master suite with luxurious bathroom and direct lanai access from the suite. Second king bedroom junior suite with adjacent private bath. 3rd bedroom full bed and 4&5th rooms perfect for kids and adults alike. Upstairs enjoy the billiards room with upstairs bath. Park and playground with grill steps away. All of central Florida is within 30 min and beaches about an hour. Go from antiquing in quaint old Florida Mt. Dora to the excitement of Daytona. From Disney to Universal Studios, to snorkeling in the pristine Wekiva Springs. It is all here.

Guest Access

The entire house except our garage, and office. Please enter through the front doors.

Interaction with Guests

I like to communicate with my guests and get to know a hit about them. My mission statement is "Arrive as guests leave as friends." Even though you have the home to yourselves I really want my guests to feel that I am always available to help them if they need it.

The Neighborhood

Our home backs up to a beautiful neighborhood park. Super quiet upscale neighborhood. Very near Florida's natural Wekiva Springs.

Getting Around

We are 30-45 min from the MCO Orlando airport and about the same distance from Sanford airport. We have a driveway and can accommodate 2 or 3 cars. One should have a car to fully enjoy central Florida but there is UBER and Lyft nearby.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week staying in this home. It’s beautiful and roomy. It also has the most well equipped kitchen of any rental home we’ve ever stayed in and we’ve stayed in many! The owner was easy to communicate with, answering every question and welcoming us to her home. We’d definitely consider staying here again. PS if you plan a trip, try to set aside a couple hours to drive through the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive. We saw so many species of beautiful birds and we stopped counting alligators after a dozen. Just beautiful!

Home was beautiful inside and out with everything we needed. One of our group did have a sensitivity to the detergent used on the bed linens and was unable to sleep the first night.

Thank you for your kind words! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. I do wish we would have known about the fragrance allergy. Upon request we wash all linens in fragrance free detergents. We keep it on hand. If you stay again please remind us you need fragrance-free linens and/or towels. We are happy to oblige the request. Thank you again for choosing our home for your stay.

I am a history teacher, lover of travel, and National Parks. I want to open my home to families who want to explore central Florida.

Why they chose this property

My home is perfect for families to be together in my large comfortable common areas with gormet kitchen available yet they each have privacy in my large home. Also, we are so near to Disney, Universal, and Volcano Bay, yet out of the tourist trap areas. You can come back and unwind in peace and enjoy REAL Florida living.

What makes this property unique

*Lots of space
*Near to parks(especially the back uncrowded entrance to Disney World)
*10 min to Mt Dora's antiquing district.
*Room for extended families to breath and relax WHILE being together
*Natural springs Wekiva springs:tubing, kayaking, swimming within 10 min.
*Within a mile of huge NorthWest Rec complex.
*huge double playground behind house(we have private entrance)
*overlooks nature preserve(we have a pair of beautiful Hawks that live there).
