Wonderful!

Very comfortable, clean and convenient place to stay. Holly and Dale were very accessible when needed. Very quiet neighborhood. The courtyard and screened in porch where wonderful places to relax at the end of the day or in the morning drinking your coffee. Had all the conveniences of home. Would definitely stay again!

Home away from home-we found it!

We now spend at least 3 weeks in winter in Florida but not ready for a gated community. We found the perfect place-homey, clean, well stocked kitchen and our hosts Holly and Dale were welcoming and helpful but not intrusive. Mount Dora is a great place to be..fun downtown with good restaurants and quaint shops. Only ~ 1 mile walk to the lake and beautiful sunsets. We'll be back!

This is our “ happy place”

I don’t know where to begin. It is spotless clean. The furniture is comfortable. It is cozy. It is our home for 2 months every year and we would not go anywhere else. We are fortunate to have found it. Working with Holly and Dale is so easy. A definite 5 star!

It was all it was advertised to be and more.

My daughter and I and her small children always enjoy the Mt. Dora Fall Festival. Usually we stay at a hotel in Traveres but this year decided it would be nice to stay closer to town. Holly's Hideaway was the perfect pick for us. The home was clean and neat. Holly is so organized and she made it easy for us to be good house guests. The beds were Hilton comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked with all we needed. Her place is decorated beautifully and was just a great comfort to come "home" to at the end of our very busy day. Holly's Hideaway will definitely be our first choice for future trips to Mt. Dora.

Wonderful hide-a-way!!

This home is actually better than advertised! The outdoor areas are lush and so relaxing. The interior is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. This kitchen was exceptionally well stocked, as were the bathrooms. We enjoyed every minute! The only negative, for the guys, was there were no local TV stations on which to watch their football games 😂😂 We would definitely stay there again - and actually would love to live there!!

Absolutely Perfect

I think it is accurate to say, you cant judge the property until you enter the front garden thru the privacy fence! After that, it is an absolutely perfect accommodation. Every convenience is there for our needs. Very relaxing environment.

Cozy, comfortable and convenient

Holly is a wonderful host! This is a great place to stay. All the comforts of home and convenient to a variety of attractions/places. Mount Dora has some nice places to eat and visit (shout-out to PizzAmore, their food is awesome). Mount Dora has a lovely downtown area too. Lots of local shops to browse. And Orlando is just a short drive away if that's what you prefer. The beds were quite comfortable, and so were the recliners and couch. We LOVE the screened porch and spent quite a bit of time out there relaxing and just enjoying the lovely weather. We ate breakfast out there twice. :-) The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need. We plan on staying here again next year.

One more time trip

I brought my 94 year old Mother to Florida to do one of her bucket list items, see the Ocean one more time. Hollys Hideaway was perfect for her easy access to home and shower, close to my Sister and Niece. Mom loved the house and decor our stay was pleasant and peaceful.

Charming property in a quiet neighborhood

Holly’s Hideaway was perfect for our Labor Day getaway. It is in a quiet neighborhood minutes from downtown Mt Dora. Renniger’s flea market and antique center is literally around the corner on 441 and there is also a grocery store (Publix) less than 2 miles away. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly need and the screened lanai was awesome. The host was quick to respond to every question and gave clear instructions for where to park and how to enter the property. We would definitely stay here again!!!!

Nicest VRBO I have stayed in yet

Everything was perfect! Holly's Hideaway was spotless and very comfortable. Equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. Great location, nice private yard and screened lanai. Holly even provided a complimentary bottle of wine. She also contacted us to ask if everything was good. I highly recommend this rental.
