We enjoyed our stay and especilly the location just steps from the downtown shops and restsurants. The unit was very clean with a comfortable sitting area, tv, bed, make up table, and a well equiped kitchen. We were happy that our dog had comfortable space and yard, as well. Thanks!

If you are going to Mt. Dora, this is the place to stay! Randy and Lu Anne, the owners, are lovely people who answer any question within seconds! The property is exceptionally clean and comfortable. Nice Adirondack chairs that we took advantage of outside every night and early morning with coffee. Being 1 block from the village is an added bonus. Convenient to all shopping and dining and sightseeing. I could not have asked for a more perfect place to stay with my 90 year old mother. Should I return I will certainly book this gem again!

Perfect stay

Has all you need including very comfy clean big beds and an extra twin! The luxury big reclining couch was a huge hit and perfect for watching a movie before bedtime or watching the news with coffee/tea in the morning! Easy walk to the lake, all the great food and shops in Mt Dora. We loved it so much we stayed an extra night.

Like I mentioned before, this property is in a perfect location for going into downtown Mount Dora, we were there for the Art Festival and it is literally a 3 minute walk to all the stores and restaurants, parking was no problem for our two vehicles and the rental itself was perfect, two King beds,a kitchenette and a nice Porch to sit outside

The property was perfect. Great location - could not get much closer to downtown Mt. Dora. The owners were extremely friendly and reached out throughout the trip to ensure everything was going okay. The cottage was clean and stocked with everything a person would need. Would stay again for sure.

Under the Palms was an excellent experience for us. It has all the room and basic amenities needed for a comfortable stay, and it is clean and quiet. LuAnne and Randy are kind hosts, available as needed and never intrusive. The neighborhood is quiet and pleasant for walking. Highly recommended.
