This cutest 100 year old Fisherman’s Cottage is so cool and unique in every way! The host left us a neat gift and note along with the most delicious fresh fruit and eggs! It truly felt like Liz and Lee put a lot of love and care in everything. The kitchen is well stocked with good quality utensils, and they even had my favorite brand of paper towels and toilet paper:)We enjoyed some quiet time on two very comfortable porches.Location is great also, we were able to go into the town and enjoyed exploring cafes and little shops!
We had a very special visitor every morning:)

Title: Perfect Getaway in The Fisherman’s Cottage

We had an amazing stay at this property! The cottage was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. Even fish themed snacks in the fridge! The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and we loved the sheets and pillows. Peaceful outdoor space — perfect for morning coffee or evening wine.The location was ideal, close to downtown Mount Dora and all the great shops and restaurants. Communication with the Liz and Lee was smooth and prompt, and check-in was super easy.We truly felt like we were at a home away from home. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area!
