    This little bungalow made for perfect first-time visit to Mt. Dora. My husband and I came for the arts and craft show. The bungalow is very well located. Close to downtown, lake, restaurants - just about everything you want to do in Mt. Dora. The house was extremely clean and very well appointed. The owner, Talia, thought of everything one could possibly need. She was also extremely responsive to questions. I would highly recommend this property if visiting Mt. Dora.

    AT FIRST WE WERE DELIGHTED AT HOW CLOSE IT WAS TO DOWNTOWN. THE OWNERS DID NOT GIVE US THE CODE FOR THE DOOR UNTIL TWO HOURS BEFORE WE ARRIVED. THE FLOORS WERE DIRTY AND FULL OF SAND. WE CALLED THEM ON SUNDAY TO REPORT NO HOT WATER AND THEY DID COME AND TOLD US THERE HOT WATER CAME FROM ANOTHER BUILDING AND HE COULD NOT FIX IT. WE HAD BEEN ANTIQUING ALL DAY AND REALLY NEEDED AT SHOWER, WE COULD NOT. THERE WAS NO WAY TO GET TO THE ELECTRICAL BOX TO CHECK THE BREAKERS AND THEN WE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS NO BACK DOOR EGRESS, SO ONLY ONE WAY IN AND ONE WAY OUT. I CALLED BOTH OF THE NUMBERS ON THE PHONE AND NO ANSWER, SO I THEN TEXED THEM BOTH AND ONE ANSWERED AND SAID THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE HOT WATER AND THEN NEVER TEXTED AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN TEXTING THEM AND THEY WILL NOT RESPOND. I WOULD LIKE A REFUND FOR AT LEAST ONE DAY OF THIS TRIP. THEY TURNED OUR TRIP INTO A NIGHTMARE.

    The located to town center is excellent. Mt. Dora has many lovely shops to explore.The cottage was smaller than anticipated. However, it was very clean & welcoming with a bottle of wine & stemware on the table.The owner was not the best with prompt communication of instructions to guide arrival. It was difficulty to open the enter code because the faceplate was almost opaque from years of wear. Had to call the owner & ask her to bring a key to use instead. Parking was fine.It was the first time a host has asked us to remove sheets & towels and wash them before we departed. For the high rental cost we would expect the owner to do this after we left!

    On our recent stay at The Nantucket, we found the location to be excellent, allowing us to park our car in the driveway and walk into town.However, we found The Nantucket too small for us. The tiny bathroom was impossible to dress in after a shower so we had to dress in the hallway as the bedroom was also too small to dress in. The bathroom had no place to put toiletries-perhaps a shelf above the toilet could be added for this purpose. Tissues could be placed on this shelf.Also, a strong musty odor greeted us at the door. The see-thru shades on the front windows gave us a lack of privacy at night, making watching TV or walking around in our pajamas uncomfortable as anyone walking or driving by could see clearly inside the living room. Also, the kitchen floor was gritty with sand, and there was only one teaspoon in the drawer. The request to wash any cups or utensils and strip the bed, and wash the bedding and towels was something I didn’t expect. We had paid 95 dollars for cleaning. I was hoping to away for three days from household chores while in Mt. Dora. I have never experienced this request in any of my travels in hotels, motels, and ARBNBs in the USA or Europe. I hope this review is useful to you. I know you can’t stretch the walls to make it bigger, but we would have enjoyed a little more space and privacy.

    The hosts of this property are very professional and on top of the rentals. When I arrived at the Nantucket for my 11:00 am reservation the hosts immediately arrived to advise the unit cleaning had not been done and immediately offer The Baker House for me to stay in. Very apologetic for the inconvenience (which was not a problem). Helped me to move my things and stayed to make sure I was satisfied. I was MORE than satisfied.Baker House is a historic remodeled 2BR 1Bath home.It has all of the conviences of a home with a nice sitting room in the back for morning coffee or relaxing. The outside patio features a firepit and very comfortable chairs. The backyard is great for your pet to explore as they are pet friendly. Book this property. You will love it!
