There is a covered boat dock available for guests, and a public boat ramp is about a mile from the house. Across the canal is undeveloped land which makes for great bird watching from the property, as well as being located near two spots on the Florida Birding Trail. There are 2 public golf courses nearby for golf enthusiasts. The historic town of Mount Dora with fabulous restaurants and shopping is 15 minutes away. Explore beautiful natural springs 20-30 minutes away. For those who may be interested in theme parks, Disney World is 45 minutes away. The Lake Apopka wildlife drive/trail is just 10 minutes away.

Wonderful house. And the pool and yard. They provided everything. You won't be bored! They painted the exterior which makes it look much more modern.

Everything was perfect! The house was roomy and open. The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. The host was quick to respond with any questions or issues we had. The pool was very nice. The boat dock had a roof which made it nice when it rained. The boat stayed dry! Having the lights on the boat dock was pretty nice too. We had dinner a few times at Mary’s kitchen located 5 minutes away. Great homestyle food! The Beauclair over in Dora was amazing! The salted fry in Dora was gluten free and delicious! We hope to come back and stay again! This house has been our favorite so far out of all the places we’ve stayed.
