This cutest 100 year old Fisherman’s Cottage is so cool and unique in every way! The host left us a neat gift and note along with the most delicious fresh fruit and eggs! It truly felt like Liz and Lee put a lot of love and care in everything. The kitchen is well stocked with good quality utensils, and they even had my favorite brand of paper towels and toilet paper:)We enjoyed some quiet time on two very comfortable porches.Location is great also, we were able to go into the town and enjoyed exploring cafes and little shops!
We had a very special visitor every morning:)

Arrived in the evening, and lights were on, which was very welcoming and indeed helpful.We loved the place. Our daughter joined us for a few days in the middle of our stay, and she loved it too. It’s well located to get into Mount Dora, but also to get out of Mount Dora. It’s a great location. Parking is good next to the house. Nice covered porch way entrance, that can be helpful during Florida weather. Rooms were all clean and tidy, and some very unique, cute decor. We felt very comfortable, and even got a nice welcome note from the owner/s on arrival.It should be noted that I can’t fault the communication with the owner in any way. It was excellent throughout.I would highly recommend the place.
