About the host

Hosted by Brett C

Host profile image
Holly and her husband have been residents since 1989. Both are transplants from south Florida. They found Mount Dora charming immediately and raised their children here in this hideaway and still call Mount Dora home.

This home is an owner’s suite, which is attached to the back of front of home long-term rental apartment. The entrance to this home is through the gate left of garage which opens up to a private oasis. The building is a unique builder’s design with privacy in mind. A true hide away the owner’s have personally enjoyed for years. The owner’s have experienced many long term tenants over the years and now have many returning guests. Safety and sound privacy have been well built into this structure. The owner would love to share this home with you as their guests.

Holly is a nurse specialist in infection control and is very involved in the state and national organizations for Infection Prevention. She will assure you this home is cleaned to hospital expected standards. She loves the outdoors, walking, hiking, kayaking. There is an abundance of central Florida springs and trails she considers local hidden treasures.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property during the 1989 February Mt. Dora Art Festival. We fell in love with the close-to-downtown location for all the downtown events AND the private personal park setting of this home located at the end of a nice, quiet street. It is located a mile from Donnelly St and Fifth Ave intersection. This was our family home for 5 years!

Beautiful walk to a great little city: If you want to walk to downtown, recommend walk to Liberty Street then down passed Donnelly Park to the lake. Follow lake around marina and then up Donnelly Street. There is a parking there and a parking garage at that end of Donnelly Street as well. This is a beautiful walk. City maps are available in the living room hutch by patio doors and/or in the Welcome Book located in the top shelf of living room bookcase.
