Perfect Spot

The Nantucket is a beautifully appointed cottage right near town. The location could not be better. It was so quiet in terms of street noise but it was steps away from shops and restaurants. I highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Great getaway

We lived in Mt Dora as snowbirds for 22 years. We have gone back in the last few years to visit friends and enjoy the great town. This location was perfect to walk downtown to shops and restaurants and was a charming place to stay. It was decorated beautifully and was very comfortable. We enjoyed it very much.

Great feel

We had a great stay in Mount Dora at this snug cottage. The decor is charming and all that we needed was close at hand. Talia was great to work with and went out of her way when we ran into a couple of glitches. The location is close to the center of all that is happening. The neighborhood is a well kept historical Old Florida type style. We would stay here again and we would want to rent from Talia again.

Adorable and Cozy home in a fantastic location!

What a great stay!!! We LOVED our long weekend at the Nantucket cottage. It is a very charming little home. It’s perfect for a couple or 2 people that don’t not mind sharing a smaller space. The home was decorated so beautifully and the bed was very comfortable. The kitchenette was fine for our short stay as we ate out to enjoy everything that downtown had to offer. Some great restaurants! We spent a lot of time walking to explore Mt. Dora so were very happy to be staying so close to town. It was in a quiet location and was very safe. We will absolutely be back!
