Country Cottage Suites In Mount Dora, The Dora

I will start off with the positive. The property is in a great location, it's very cute and quaint. It is older, but that just brings more charm in my opinion. The unit and furnishing are in good condition. Now the negative. 1) When we reserved the room for the sole purpose of attending the craft festival that was happening that weekend, it would have been helpful if the owners stayed on top of the events in the area. When there is an event in downtown Mt Dora, the streets are closed to traffic and there is no parking permitted. The closest parking we could find was three city blocks away. This makes quite a journey up/down a pretty steep hill to take things to and from your vehicle. 2) there are two units above the store that are owned by this same property mgmt company. Above each units doors are the name Dora and Alexander. Nowhere in the reservation does it tell you what unit you are in, so we just had to try the combination on both doors until it worked. 3) When we entered the apartment it had not been cleaned after the prior tenant. we attempted to contact the owners, and we contacted VRBO, and nobody was successful in reaching them. We left several voicemails and they were never returned. I also located the property management companies website and sent a message there and there was no response. It was very concerning to be in a condo that had no property management contact if there were any major issues. I also don't feel they change the combination for the lock.

Being in the heart of downtown allowed us to go out and about without worrying about finding a parking spot. I

Location is amazing - HOWEVER I never received the access code to the door or any information for that matter. I called, texted, and contacted through the VBRO app I NEVER heard from the property manager. I spent over an hour on the phone with VBRO and never got an access code. Luckily, when we arrived the store owner downstairs was able to help us access the property. I just wonder what would happen if he wasn’t there. We asked about parking and we’re told the street was fine. Then Sunday morning when trying to leave we were blocked in due to a street festival. Mt Dora is a fun, quaint place just not without information ?

Walking distance to everything.

We loved this apartment. It's right in the middle of everything. It was great to explore the town then stop back by the apartment to drop off our stuff before heading back out. The apartment was very spacious, extremely clean, and had everything we needed. Ronnie and the locals we met were great people. We'd also recommend the Magical Meat Boutique British Pub. It's right next door and has great food and live music. We got lucky with parking our entire visit but I feel like the walk isn't bad if you have to park in a nearby garage/parking lot and walk your luggage to the apartment. Overall we had a great visit!

We enjoyed our stay here. It was in the heart of everything and very welcoming. It had all the kitchen supplies we needed and more than enough towels. The king sized bed is a little squeaky and loud, but overall was comfortable. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this little gem of a place!

Location, location, location. You can’t go wrong with the location of this rental. House was clean beside a few spots on the carpet. Towels were nice and fluffy. Shower was a little tight. Bed in main bedroom was super loud every time you moved. If you don’t move at night you would not notice it. But the slightest move made the loudest noise. Had both regular coffee pot and kcup coffee maker. Lots of pots and pans. Ice maker in freezer. AC was ice cold. Check out (10am) is earlier then most places. If you check out on Sunday you get a nice surprise of a farmers market right outside you door. Parking was difficult. There was always a space open with the additional parking behind the lakeside inn hotel down at the end of the street. Pack light as you have to take your luggage to where you park. Room had washer and dryer. Hopefully they can fix the creaking bed. You have to weigh the pros and cons.

Great place to return to throughout the day while in Mount Dora. The location is fantastic and the place clean and spacious.

location, location, location, it can't be beat. In the middle of everything. Would stay again for sure. The unit is very large and clean. The only complaint I have is of the bed in the master bedroom. It is VERY LOUD. Like, will wake you up when you or another person in the bed moves. And it is very uncomfortable. Also, shower was REALLY small. But besides that, everything was great.

The location is fantastic being in the heart of Mt Dora. The restaurants and pubs were just next door. The apartment is nice but two things need to be corrected. First off the carpet is due for a cleaning with a few stains in the living area. The master beds wooden frame needs to be corrected or replaced. You couldn't move without it making outrageous squeaking noises. We even gave thought to sleeping in the 2nd bedroom because that was ok. We have stayed in the apartment across the hall which was perfect! This apartment could get the same rating if they make the above changes.
