UCF Sophomore Student - Move In/Getaway
We were taking our college Sophomore to UCF and get her set up in a new apartment and decided to stay in Mt. Dora to get away for a few days afterwards. It was a perfect place to get some rest and relaxation in before going back home to South Florida.

Great place to stay in Mount Dora
We loved the Mermaid bungalow. Just as pictured. Location perfect for Mount Dora activities. Our doggies loved the backyard as we did. Nice place to sit out and enjoy the fresh air. We did have a few issues, but the host and staff were very responsive.

Absolutely perfect two bedroom home me nestled in the heart of historic Mount Dora. The house is outfitted with all you need in the kitchen, bathroom and outdoor living space. We stayed two nights and I wish we had booked for a week. Home away from home!

Wonderful getaway for our whole family
We had an amazing time. Check in process was a breeze, host was great and was available for communication if at all necessary. House was clean, beds we’re comfortable and everything was provided. The house was walking distance to downtown but far enough away that the sounds of festivals or parades weren’t bothersome. 10/10 recommend and we hope to stay again!

Whimsical spot to stay at!
I would describe the 'Mermaid House', in today's standards as more like a cottage/bungalow. We were three staying during a 3-day weekend trip. I am not sure if it would be feasible for more than 2 people to stay longer than that. The place was very clean and well supplied with more than the average inventory of items, both in the bathroom and kitchen. Across, it was decorated in good taste, and not crowded at all; with plenty of space available within the common areas. The bedrooms had comfortable beds to sleep on, but the only main inconvenience was that for two people sleeping in one bed, the beds were both situated against a wall. Also, there were no dressers of any size to store your clothes in. The bathroom is nicely tiled and the shower was spacious enough to comfortably move around in. We were amazed that there were more than one place available to hang your large towels on to dry... thank you for that! The kitchen was 'retro' like decorated with all the necessities on hand. We were a bit disappointed with the outside back area; not quite the same image as the pictures online; it needs some immediate TLC. Several plants around need to be replaced and the fire pit was filled with debris. We could not have asked for a better location; just walking distance to the main sites of historical Mt. Dora.
