Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Mount Dora

We booked this trip on a whim just to get away for a few days. We had a great stay that was very comfortable and convenient to the entire town. The bed and linens were so soft and made for a restful nights sleep. It is pet friendly but kept super clean. It was hard to tell any animals may have been there before. The bathroom areas are a bit snug, but this is an older house in the historic district, so the space was utilized well for the purpose of the rental. We enjoyed the peace and serenity to recharge, feeling right at home the whole time. Kitchen was very well equipped with coffee, tea, condiments, and ice, so we had all the extras that are often missing at other rentals.

We had a wonderful time at the Mermaid Cottage. Steve, Amy and their son were wonderful hosts. Steve was so easy to communicate with and immediately solved any issues that we had. We were very happy with the inside of the lovely cottage and totally enjoyed the front porch and beautiful backyard. We enjoyed walking in the neighborhood especially to downtown Mt. Dora. The neighbors were extremely friendly and we got to know many of them. We highly recommend the Mermaid Cottage. Thank you Steve&Amy for a lovely vacation. Karen&Doug

Home is in a quiet area with lots of privacy. Exactly as shown. Very clean and the Hosts are very responsive. We would stay again.

I've stayed at quite a few places and I think this was one of my favorites. it was very cozy and had everything we needed to keep our kids entertained and comfortable while visiting family. I will keep this place in mind if we need a house in Mt. Dora again!

This is a great cabin!!! It was perfect for my husband, 3 kids & our pups! It's in a peaceful and private neighborhood. My son loved having the basketball hoop! The dock is amazing! Having easy access to put our kayaks in the water (instead of always driving to somewhere) was awesome! We saw gators, fish, turtles and beautiful birds! Its also an easy drive to several Springs The house has all the comforts of home. We just had to supply the groceries! Overall, this was a fun, relaxing, and beautiful cabin. Peter is easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Would love to stay here again!

In town for a baseball tournament. Location to the fields was great — less than a 10 minute drive! Everything was clean. We enjoyed the pool after a hot day at the field. We appreciated the grill and used it to make some hamburgers and hot dogs. Kitchen was well equipped. Would definitely stay again if we need to be in the area.

Absolutely great place, experience and communication. We had a great time. It was easy, clean, and peaceful. If I go back to that area I would definitely love to stay longer. Thank you Sarah, you were incredible.

Stephen was an amazing host, I had a great time and even was able to use his kayaks to go around the lake. He was helpful, kind, and a great person to talk to :) When you sit on the back porch there’s little critters running around and the sunset view is gorgeous. There’s a grocery store that’s only 4 minutes away and a cute little lake beach called Eaton’s Beach. I would stay here again anytime :)

This was my 2nd stay because I enjoyed the 1st stay so much. I love the location, walkable to downtown Sanford. Always responsive to messages. Very clean and secure. I would recommend if your Central Florida travels bring you to downtown Sanford.

Stayed here for 2 nights and will definitely be coming back! Walking distance from restaurants and bars. 2 minutes drive to down town Mount Dora and the area is peaceful and quite! Extremely clean and beautifully decorated room with updated appliances. My favorite part is the back patio for when you come back from having a long day adventuring and just want to sip some wine

Lovely stay. Everything was very close and convenient. Everything was clean and cozy.

This was our third stay with Leah, and like the other two times we really enjoyed the apartment! Close to the amusement parks, great restaurants and coffee shops. The apartment was very clean and had everything you needed including products you might’ve forgot or even snacks to enjoy. We truly do find this apartment comfortable and peaceful, we can’t wait to come again soon!

We really enjoyed our stay. Fantastic place and location! Jared was really helpful and a great host😊

Very nice historical home to stay in. Felt like I was stepping back into time in a very comfortable setting. It’s very close and convenient to all the happenings down in Mt Dora and surrounding areas. I would highly recommend staying at Peter and Lisa’s home.

Corey is a great communicator and was extremely flexible in working with me. I will be recommending this place to my colleagues for lodging at our next conference in 2026.

Very nice people and animals, convenient for stays while I take my fur baby to Florida Wild Vet for treatments. Quiet place to work during the day. Quiet place to sleep at night. Well stocked kitchen and very convenient to all necessities.

We had an absolutely amazing week-long stay at this location! The home was incredibly perfect for our vacation this year — cozy, clean, and conveniently located near everything we had planned. It truly worked out perfectly for our family. One of the highlights was how much our little girl loved the Minnie Mouse-themed rooms — she called it “Minnie’s house” the entire trip, and it was such a sweet memory we’ll never forget. As a small gesture for the next guests (if it wasn’t thrown away), we left behind two full cases of water, some brand new ice creams, coffee, chips, and popcorn — all unopened and fresh. We didn’t want it to go to waste and hope someone can enjoy it! Thanks again for a wonderful stay. This place helped make our vacation unforgettable!

There's a reason why Rafaela's place has a diamond next to it as a gem. It's in a great location close to all Disney parks, the rooms are decorated just like the photos with Moana and Buzz Lightyear (Toy Story), and there are a lot of thoughtful touches like the wireless charging pads in the bedrooms. The water park was a lot of fun and very walkable too. Whether you want to stay and play at the water park, go to the gym, or use it as a home base for a Disney adventure, there's a lot to like about the space. The beds were comfy too!

Laura’s place was wonderful for my husband and I. It was our first time to Kissimmee. It is a very short distance from the parks and attractions. It was also close to quality restaurants and convenient gas stations. Laura’s studio was clean and represented what was expected from the photos. This is a very cozy location with pool and hot tub. Laundry and snacks were easily accessible. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and the price was in our budget!

I LOVED THE EXPERIENCE!

It was clean, looked like the pictures, responsive host. Would stay again.

Great area to stay and awesome host!

We’ve stayed at several rentals in Orlando before, and this one has definitely been our favorite. The apartment was spotless, very well equipped, and had everything we needed. The location is excellent, very safe and quiet, and close to everything we needed. We really enjoyed the peaceful view over the lake to the pool area behind it. The pool with the lazy river was nice and added to the relaxing atmosphere. Joanne was very quick to respond and helpful throughout our stay. Would absolutely come back.

We loved our stay at Nicoleta's! Everything was very clean and exactly as described. The view was beautiful and truly the cherry on top of a perfect stay! We will definitely stay again next time we are in the area!
