House is amazing and very beautiful. It couldnt be in a better location to downtown Mount Dora. Only suggestions I would make is to upgrade coffee maker in kitchen, provide more blankets or comforters and replace queen mattress in one bedroom.

Great house and location for ‘Light Up Mt. Dora’ festivities. Just a couple of blocks from the main town area, so no driving necessary once parked at the house. Wonderful screened in front porch and a lovely fire pit area in the backyard. We will return to the beautiful Flowers House.

Wonderful!

This was our second opportunity to enjoy The Flowers House and we thoroughly enjoyed both stays! Perfect location for restaurants and shops. There were three women and three girls with plenty of space for all including the hair and makeup drama that goes with a crowd like that! Exceptionally clean, we felt safe, and owners responded immediately to any questions we had. We are looking forward to our next stay! Thank you Pam for sharing your lovely hpme!

Girls weekend

6 ladies for a 60th birthday weekend. We felt at home when we walked in the door. A short block walk into downtown Mount Dora was what got us there and it was even better than we expected. With all of the restaurants in town, we chose to stay in and enjoy the home and it’s many gathering places. Well equip for all our cooking and celebrating. We will be back!!!

The Flowers House Review

We stayed at this beautiful historic remodeled home as a friend reunion. Six of us upon arrival coming from different parts of the state walked into the house at various times. Each one us were overwhelmed with the magnificence, cleanliness, decor, amenities, and detail. The beds and bedding were so comfortable. Coffee pot in every bedroom. We meet every year at a different location and this home and all provided was the best we have ever had. We highly recommend this VRBO home. The town is within walking distance and it is a quaint town full of boutiques, unique shops, and good restaurants.

Best VRBO rental Ever!

My friend group of 6 ladies has been traveling together several times a year for the past 8 years and this was our favorite rental yet! The house is so charming, well thought out & supplied for all our needs. We love the fire pit for evening chats & giggles, huge screened in porch for card games & more giggles, and the fact that the house is walkable to most everywhere we wanted to go… just a block or 2 off the main downtown shopping area & restaurants. The property contact, Sebastian, was responsive & very helpful…. Making sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back to Mt Dora & to this house for future stays!

T he Flowers home offered every amenity we desired for celebrating my husband's 80th birthday. Our hosts went above and beyond to ensure our comfort at every level. I would highly recommend this property to any and all. Each room came with a refrigerator filled with cold waters, coffee & tea service in each room, in addition to a fully stocked kitchen. These people know how to go the extra mile. We will be returning within the year!

Celebrating 325 years of life. ( 5 birthdays)

Amazing VRBO! This was our second stay at the Flowers House and certainly not our last. The common areas are pleasingly and comfortably furnished (and equipped) with everything that we needed to relax and celebrate. Tastefully decorated large bedrooms and bathrooms with all the necessities. The only problem was deciding where to gather.... The front porch, the seats around the fire pit, the large dining room table, or the comfy sofas!!! During our 3 days we had ONE lunch in town because we enjoyed preparing and enjoying all of our meals in the comfort of this home. Enjoyed Mt Dora shops, walking, and kayaking!
