Welcome to my home! I purchased the property in 2020 from a friend when she decided to sell. I spent many years coming down for Thanksgiving, love spending time here and think others will as well!

The home was built in 1927. When you walk into the house, you'll be greeted by the living room. There is seating for four people with two love seats across from each other. The room includes a Smart TV with a Blu-Ray DVD player. Feel free to log in to your favorite streaming service and enjoy your shows! Please note that I do not have any TV service. There is a fireplace but it does not work and cannot be used.

Just off the living room is the Sun Room. I've set this room up with a small table and chairs for paying cards or board games. You will find these games in the cabinet when you walk in.

The dining room is just off the other side of the living room with seating for 6 people. Between the dining room and the kitchen is a small desk for you to use if you need. I also have a wireless HP printer that you can use to print if needed.

I've recently updated half of the kitchen with new cabinets, sink, countertop and added a dishwasher. There is a new gas stove and newer French door fridge. If you continue past the fridge, you will find the washer and dryer for your use as well. Just past that, you will find the back door leading out to the rear porch. I've screened in the rear porch and it has a small bistro table with two seats. PLEASE NOTE - the back porch no longer has a screen door on it. I am in the process of having that replaced so for time being it's not fully sealed off. It's a great place to sit outside and enjoy the warm weather Off of the rear porch is the backyard that is fenced in.

Each bedroom will hold two people - the master bedroom has one double bed and the second bedroom has two single beds. I've installed blackout curtains in both of the rooms ensuring a great night’s sleep! Each bedroom has a TV and Blu Ray player that connects to the internet for streaming using your favorite streaming service. Please note I do not have any tv service in the house.

The house has central heating and A/C with ceiling fans in most all the rooms.

At the end of the bedroom hallway is the bathroom. It includes a sink, toilet and a claw foot tub with a shower. Please use the step stool and/or cane to get in and out of the tub.

One thing you will notice is that I am into commercial airlines. On most of the walls you will find retro airline ads as well as various airplane models. I have been collecting these items since I was just a child and follow the industry very closely.

Historic Mt Dora is a wonderful place to walk through the streets, see the quaint shops and have an amazing meal! It's about a 15 to 20 mins walk from the house and is basically straight down the road. Downtown is located next to the lake and has a great parks and trails that you can enjoy during the day.

Don't want to walk that far Right around the corner from the house are a few restaurants as well. Jeremiah's is a personal favorite, and the fried chicken dinner is awesome! 7 mins by car will bring you over to Vincent's Italian, get the Tour of Italy, it's amazing! 5 mins by car is large Publix Grocery Store with a Liquor Store attached. 15 mins by car will get you to a Walmart and Target.

I do allow pets but please note that while the backyard is fenced in, most dogs and cats can easily get under or over the fence. I just ask that you also pick up after your pet. Any damages to the furniture will be charged to have it repaired or replaced.

I also allow smoking on the back porch and the backyard. Please close the back door first. If there is any smoking inside the house, there will be a $250 fee added.

Please feel free to message me with any questions or comments.

I do hope you'll enjoy the area and have a very relaxing vacation while you're here!

Thanks!
Scott

    My little furry friends loved the yard! Very nice neighborhood to walk the dogs too! House was perfect for our stay. Bathroom tub was a little challenging with the hot water. All in all it was a great experience!

    Such a cute property and so close to downtown Mt Dora. The host was very responsive. Parking was great as it was off-street and had plenty of room for our two Jeeps. We go to an event in the area a few times a year and will definitely keep this property on our go-to list.

    Scott is a great host and the house is clean, comfortable and perfectly sized for our needs. We enjoyed the location and being able to walk to town. The driveway was a bonus and the fenced in yard was an added convenience for the boys.

    Home was clean and well stocked with everything toy could need. Beds were comfortable and good pillows. Walking distance to downtown. Only downfall and its minor is the shower was a bit small but again not an issue for us.

    We like to explore cities, museums, parks,etc. This location was great for Mt. Dora and many of the surrounding towns. The house is comfortable with all the necessities for an easy and pleasant stay. If we choose to return to the area, this listing would be our first choice. The owner also checked a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. He is very thoughtful.

    We loved this place. It’s in a nice, quiet neighborhood. It’s within walking distance to town yet the fenced in backyard and landscaping provide a lot of privacy. The kitchen is very well equipped. The beds are comfy and there are movies, books, and games galore. Great place! Thanks Scott!

    We stayed in Scott's vacation home as an escape from Hurricane Milton, as we live on the west coast of Florida. The home was just as shown and the communication with Scott was great. He was very accommodating by allowing us to extend our stay by 2 days as needed. The home was very inviting and had everything we could have possibly needed. We would definitely stay there again.
