Perfect house for a girl's weekend! Very well appointed and comfortable with plenty of seating throughout. The kitchen was clean and had everything we needed for cooking in house. Great location in a quiet neighborhood only a short distance from downtown Mt Dora. Need to make a trip to this house an annual event!

This place was awesome! Very clean, well maintained and the location was fantastic. Walking into town was easy and the neighbors were friendly, even to us out of towners. Our two little dogs loved it and clean up in the yard was easy. It was great having a little fenced in back yard to let them out in. We checked the fence to make sure they couldn't get it, and no problem, even for our little dogs- no escapes! Lets put it this way, We loved it! Definitely recommend this place!

Perfect anniversary getaway

We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with a long weekend stay at The Mermaid House in Mount Dora. The house was perfect, the neighborhood great and close to downtown. When we had a question for the host he contacted us right away. Since it was very hot we didn’t get to enjoy the backyard oasis much. We hope to return in the fall
