About this property

SERENITY COTTAGE - Downtown Mount Dora, Chain of Lakes, Explore-Boaters welcome,

Discover the beauty of Mount Dora in this downtown spacious home on half acre, private, 3 stylish bedrooms, full kitchen, shuffle board, beer cooler, and card table overlooking beautiful landscaping with fire pit. Walk to downtown and enjoy cafes, restaurants, events, art shows, lakes and parks. We look forward to hosting your next great escape!

We offer monthly stays for $5,000 monthly, airplane rides, fishing charters, and other experiences that make the getaway memorable. Only 35 minutes to Orlando International Airport and Disney. This full house (not guest house, not converted garage) is great for a week of fun for the girls or guys and also great for fishing the lakes.

We offer a combination package with 2 nights in Mount Dora and 2 night at the Beach near Daytona at our other vacation getaway so you can enjoy both the lakes and the ocean. (see our other getaway on Vrbo FINS UP) We also offer golf cart rental, afternoon boating and local fishing charter discounts if you want to add a fabulous experience. We can also arrange to have your fridge filled with your favorite foods, deliver a birthday cake or have fresh flowers at check in. Let us know how you want this great escape to go for maximum memory making! Let us know if you have any questions about the surrounding area or need for recommendations. You can also access our online Guide with this listing or visit the Facebook page: Visit Lake County

Have a great time and we hope you find some Serenity. Thanks for reading this far.

Carolyn and David Marquis

Carolyn was wonderful throughout the whole process. We had a great stay! There were so many amenities, we didn’t have time to use them! The location allowed for a leisurely walk downtown. We would definitely return.
