Great place in Mount Dora
We were in town for a beach volleyball tournament and stayed at Maria’s place. It was perfect for our quick trip and had everything we needed!! Maria even asked if we needed an early check in and accommodated us.

Comfy Time at the Ruiz Oasis
This property is immaculate, and the hosts thought of everything we might want to enjoy our time in their home. It was super clean and well supplied. The kitchen and bath are new. It is in a walkable neighborhood. The host provided excellent communications. It is a great vrbo to which we would return for another stay.

Spectacular and very responsive owner
This is a lovely property! Large driveway and fenced in yard allows privacy and all the comforts of home! Nice walk into town. The owner is fabulous! Very responsive and friendly, easy to communicate with! I would give a higher rating of 10! I can’t wait to rent again! I’m planning my next trip now!I’m new to this so I’m a little clumsy with the app.🤷🏻 Maria was super helpful! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Very Comfortable
Enjoyed our stay, slept very well! Beds were very comfortable!
The house is very spacious for a small house. The kitchen was like new as was the bathroom. My wife and I both agreed that we would be comfortable living in the house with the furniture and decor as it’s set now. We will make a return visit.

Perfect in so many ways!
What a great host. She was more than accommodating and just a text message away!! The house is located outside downtown Mt. Dora. It's the cutest little place. She did a great job decorating for Christmas!!! The house had EVERYTHING we could need and it smelled amazing. My dog enjoyed the fenced in yard and the kids took advantage of riding scooters on the quiet street and had a blast on the arcade. I highly recommend renting this adorable, comfortable Mt. Dora home.

The perfect weekend!
My mom, sister, and I were traveling to Mount Dora to visit family over the weekend. We absolutely loved this spot! It was cute, comfy, and cozy - the three things I look for when booking a place to stay! Maria was so helpful and great with communication. We felt right at home and would love to stay again in the future!
