About this property

Pristine lodging! 5 min from DT Mt. Dora! ☀️SUMMER SPECIAL☀️ B2G1 night free❗️


  • ☀️SUMMER SPECIAL☀️ Rent 2 nights get 1 FREE❗️(June - Sep) - Excludes Holiday weekends. The Kennedy is a part of the 5 star collection of exceptional guest accommodations in Mount Dora, Florida! A completely remodeled mid-century home, The Kennedy is located in an ideal area offering both convenience and escape. We invite you to take delight in our home while you escape the hustle and bustle of your every day life.


    The 1200 SF open design offers a very inviting conversation area with overstuffed arm chairs, a queen sofa sleeper and large TV. Two en suite bedrooms, each with a comfortable queen size bed, TV's and nice walk in showers in the bathrooms, provide comfort and privacy. The thoughtfully appointed full kitchen with a gorgeous granite topped island offers a nice place to snack. You can enjoy a fresh cup of coffee from our Keurig coffee station. If you prefer more formal eating, there's a separate dining area. The most striking feature of The Kennedy is the large partially covered secluded patio shared with The Loft (a studio apartment that also serves as a vacation rental). The patio is the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or gather, relax, and sip your favorite afternoon beverage. Several bicycles are available upon request. Additionally, there is washer and dryer for your convenience. Perhaps the best feature of The Kennedy is its location. Just around the corner there is a paved walking / bike path with a wildlife area. The path continues along the shoreline of pristine Lake Gertrude. As you walk (exactly 2 miles round-trip) there are a few beautiful moss laden ancient oaks arching over the path and one is likely to see a variety of ibis, egrets, herons, ducks, and possibly a Limpkin or an eagle. In the mornings and evenings there are always a few marsh bunnies at the edge of the wild life habitat. Feel free to bring your canoe, kayak or paddle board as there is a public access to pristine Lake Gertrude within walking distance from your rental! where you can launch from! All of this, with quaint Mount Dora only a 2 mile drive or bike ride away, is hard to beat.

    ***Please message the Host for more information on add-on packages that we offer. Whether you are celebrating your anniversary, a Birthday or anything in between, we provide an opportunity to enhance your getaway with a sweet and thoughtful personal touch that will make your significant other feel special!

    *The Kennedy is a dog-friendly rental. Please message your host if you plan on bringing your dog as their are additional rules one must follow.

    *Please keep in mind that the patio and driveway are shared with a studio apartment that is located behind the rental. (2) car vehicle maximum.

Relaxing

Beautiful home, had everything we needed. Comfortable beds, two heads in both showers with very good water pressure. Loved the neighborhood, met a couple people, while on our adventure to the lake with our raft, everyone was friendly. Very close to downtown, short drive. Lots of places to eat and discover about Mt Dora. Hope to return soon.

Fabulous House Mount Dora

From the moment we pulled up with our pup we all felt right at home. Beside Mount Dora being a beautiful Old Florid City, we went to refresh and relax and get a change of environment from work and Palm Beach County, Florida. The house and property is gorgeous! We cooked in the gourmet kitchen, watched movies, sat outside under beautiful covered patio area in the fresh air. The beds were so cozy with layers of cozy blankets and the showers with dual shower heads were so invigorating. We totally relaxed in privacy and comfort. We felt so good and will definitely go again. Highly recommend and very grateful to magnificent host!

REVIEW

The home was immaculate and well kept. It is in a fantastic location. The only thing is we saw a German cockroach. Not complaining but they are extremely difficult to get rid of and no-one wants to carry one into their own home. So, I am just making the owner aware. Thanks! Again, the home is fantastic.

Another 5 star stay!!

The Kennedy is perfect in every way. Beautiful renovation, decor, furnishings, and everything very comfortable too, in a lovely area of Mount Dora. Talia is a wonderful hostess - the best! We rented The Kennedy for visiting family. They loved it too. How perfect to have a beautiful, immaculate house for out-of-town guests to have their own space - and for the price of a small hotel room. We will be back! Thanks!

Stayed at this property a week while some home renovations were being done… the house is amazing g and equipped with everything you would ever need! Only small complaint is it took me forever to figure out how to use the stove! A little high tech for me , but nothing you tube couldn’t help me to understand. Highly recommend this house!
