The Flowers House - Downtown Historic Home in the Heart of Mount Dora

Welcome to The Flowers House, a remarkable slice of history located in the vibrant community of Mount Dora! Originally constructed in 1910, this house has seen only a few owners over its century-long existence, imparting a rich heritage to your stay. It was lovingly maintained by the William Capps family for sixty years. Pam and Andrew Flowers, restored its charm while preserving its unique character.

The Flowers House is equipped with modern amenities while maintaining its historical charm. You’ll find five spacious bedrooms, four of which have their own bathrooms, making it perfect for family gatherings or group getaways. The shared front and back porches, combined with a cozy backyard featuring a fire pit, provide ample space for relaxation. Inside, enjoy a fully-equipped kitchen, a dining area, a breakfast nook, a laundry room, and a generous living room.

Just a short stroll to downtown Mount Dora, you'll discover a cornucopia of activities, dining options, and shopping. The area boasts an impressive array of restaurants offering diverse cuisines ranging from Asian to Italian and everything in between. Don’t miss out on fine dining experiences like 1921 and Pisces Rising, both of which promise incredible meals and lovely ambiance.

Revel in the beauty of Mount Dora's nature, too! Explore the nearby parks, take a leisurely walk to Lake Dora for sunset views, or embark on an adventure in the surrounding natural landscape filled with wildlife, including cardinals and alligators. The adventurous can rent kayaks, bicycles, or even unique catamarans to explore the crystal-clear waters of the area.

If you’re an antiques enthusiast, you’re in luck—Renninger's Flea Market & Antique Center is just a short drive away, hosting events like Guitars and Cars and the Antique and Vintage Fair.

Mount Dora comes alive with festivals throughout the year, so check the local event schedule. Highlights include the Green Market every Sunday, the Blueberry Festival in April, and the Annual Regatta in March.

Finally, for day trips, the magical allure of Orlando’s theme parks is just a 35-minute drive away, providing endless entertainment options.

Great house and location for ‘Light Up Mt. Dora’ festivities. Just a couple of blocks from the main town area, so no driving necessary once parked at the house. Wonderful screened in front porch and a lovely fire pit area in the backyard. We will return to the beautiful Flowers House.

This was our second opportunity to enjoy The Flowers House and we thoroughly enjoyed both stays! Perfect location for restaurants and shops. There were three women and three girls with plenty of space for all including the hair and makeup drama that goes with a crowd like that! Exceptionally clean, we felt safe, and owners responded immediately to any questions we had. We are looking forward to our next stay! Thank you Pam for sharing your lovely hpme!

Celebrating 325 years of life. ( 5 birthdays)
Amazing VRBO! This was our second stay at the Flowers House and certainly not our last. The common areas are pleasingly and comfortably furnished (and equipped) with everything that we needed to relax and celebrate. Tastefully decorated large bedrooms and bathrooms with all the necessities. The only problem was deciding where to gather.... The front porch, the seats around the fire pit, the large dining room table, or the comfy sofas!!! During our 3 days we had ONE lunch in town because we enjoyed preparing and enjoying all of our meals in the comfort of this home. Enjoyed Mt Dora shops, walking, and kayaking!

T he Flowers home offered every amenity we desired for celebrating my husband's 80th birthday. Our hosts went above and beyond to ensure our comfort at every level. I would highly recommend this property to any and all. Each room came with a refrigerator filled with cold waters, coffee & tea service in each room, in addition to a fully stocked kitchen. These people know how to go the extra mile. We will be returning within the year!

The Flowers House Review
We stayed at this beautiful historic remodeled home as a friend reunion. Six of us upon arrival coming from different parts of the state walked into the house at various times. Each one us were overwhelmed with the magnificence, cleanliness, decor, amenities, and detail. The beds and bedding were so comfortable. Coffee pot in every bedroom. We meet every year at a different location and this home and all provided was the best we have ever had. We highly recommend this VRBO home. The town is within walking distance and it is a quaint town full of boutiques, unique shops, and good restaurants.

House is amazing and very beautiful. It couldnt be in a better location to downtown Mount Dora. Only suggestions I would make is to upgrade coffee maker in kitchen, provide more blankets or comforters and replace queen mattress in one bedroom.

Best VRBO rental Ever!
My friend group of 6 ladies has been traveling together several times a year for the past 8 years and this was our favorite rental yet! The house is so charming, well thought out & supplied for all our needs. We love the fire pit for evening chats & giggles, huge screened in porch for card games & more giggles, and the fact that the house is walkable to most everywhere we wanted to go… just a block or 2 off the main downtown shopping area & restaurants. The property contact, Sebastian, was responsive & very helpful…. Making sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back to Mt Dora & to this house for future stays!

6 ladies for a 60th birthday weekend. We felt at home when we walked in the door. A short block walk into downtown Mount Dora was what got us there and it was even better than we expected. With all of the restaurants in town, we chose to stay in and enjoy the home and it’s many gathering places. Well equip for all our cooking and celebrating. We will be back!!!

Great house for a group! Perfect location, walking distance to downtown
Our family gathered in Mt.Dora and majority of us stayed at the Flowers House. It's really nicely done, clean and well appointed. There is a lot of common space for people to hang out. My favorite was the screened in front porch with the hammock. This property was perfect for us and would definitely recommend it. Our host Sebastian was very communicative, available if needed but not at all invasive. He was very pleasant and welcomed our family who arrived earlier than I did. Gave a house tour and history. Great job Sebastian.
