About this property

Tropical lagoon-style vintage home in historic Mt Dora

We have now completed significant renovations (05/2025), new roof, large addition offering a 4 bedroom, 4 full bathroom. We are now back on Airbnb.

Relax in the most unique home in Mt Dora. Beautiful and fully renovated 1928 craftsman-style bungalow with a very private lagoon-like pool/hot tub lush backyard. Walking distance into downtown Mt Dora.

Our large private fully-fenced backyard with locking gates includes lush landscaping, outdoor landscape lighting, a large/deep lagoon-style heated salt water pool and spa (good for your health).

We have a covered BBQ pool/patio area with smoker/charcoal/gas grill, large backyard fire pit, and bocce ball court. Our fenced/paved sideyard parking area will accommodate 6+ cars.

We also have a separate cozy 1 bed pool/guest house with AC/heating, streaming TV, WIFI, walk-in shower, bath, small kitchen, and beautiful pool side views.

Although most people never leave our resort-style backyard, it's a perfect vacation space and location for families looking for a Florida vacation or senior snowbirds looking to float/relax in our warm saltwater pool/hot tub and sunny weather.

We work online from home with good internet speed that is broadcast throughout the house, patio, pool house.
