"Spacious property in quiet neighbourhood, ideal for visiting family in the area. However the property could have been more homely, e.g. kitchen items were basic, no tea towels, windows were dirty, bed in main bedroom not comfortable and sagged in the middle, no coat hangers, no washing powder for laundry… Sorry to be picky but we have stayed in nicer accommodation."

"Very nice home that was perfect for my wife and I along with our daughter, son in law and our grandsons (ages 11 and 9). My only complaint would be that that we were unaware of the dangers involved with being lakeside at Lake Dora. The lake is infested with alligators that made swimming, fishing or pulling a tube from the boat fool hardy at best. They were literally everywhere!Again, the house was really nice and the surrounding towns were beautiful... just wish I hadn't rented that pontoon for 3 days!"

Cozy & Stylish Apartment for 4 just 5 Minutes from Downtown

"This apartment is so cute and functional. The patio is private and was really nice to unwind in after a day out exploring. (The large fan really helped make it even more comfortable on hot nights) We loved this kind of attention to detail. There were labels in drawers and cabinets, which was helpful for put things back when we checked out. The little touches like snacks/water were really nice after a long drive. They even had a few extras in the bathroom (like toothbrushes/paste) just in case you forgot. The shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the shower also a plus if you don't want to bring your own. The best part...they are so responsive to you before booking and even after checking in. Example: The soap dispenser wasn't filled in the bathroom (a minor error). But within minutes of our discovery and contact with them, they had it solved! If we are ever in the area again, we would definitely be back. 5 stars doesn't seem like enough!"

"House was as advertised, everything was clean and tidy. Check in was very easy and when we did have a question before checking in, we had a very fast response. Great location, right near the lake, but also within walking distance of restaurants, best of both, we rented a pontoon boat, was able to access both lakes via the canal for fishing, our grandson loved it! Would definitely stay here again our next trip down to Tavares!"

8/10 Good
"Floors Dirty and barn door off hinges when we arrived. The barn door issue was resolved. The property is a new home about a year old but it needs tlc already around the outdoors. Also they really should fumigate the inside of the home - often had pretty big spiders (and I am from south Florida) hanging with me in the shower and I even had to kill a few for fear of getting bit. Had too many encounters. The home was nice and I wish they manicured the yard grass and premises better to enjoy the shaded areas outdoors. Neighbors are super nice. Overall a nice stay but I would not repeat a stay here. Beds and bedding were good. They need to check the memory foam in the master - falling off. Kitchen minimally stocked but appliances are new. There was a blind mosquito issue they cannot help because its mother nature and lake Dora. It wasn't as bad as it initially looked poor things die after a day. Thankful for the stay."
