Valentines trip
We were very impressed with Royellou House. The property was very clean and very close to downtown Mt. Dora. We walked to town for shopping and eating during our stay which was a huge plus for us. Also have some great local food fares within a couple blocks of the house. Kitchen was well stocked and the place, had great towels and was pretty roomy given its size. Definitely recommend

Girlfriends weekend retreat
The property is absolutely charming and we really enjoyed spending time on the front porch. The layout of the house was great for the six of us and had all the amenities you would need and also immaculately clean. Great location, easy walk to downtown and a 5 minute drive to Renninger's flea market & antique center. James is a wonderful host and we would definitely stay here again.

Perfect House
This was our family's 3rd Thanksgiving stay in this VRBO.
It is so clean (which is so important to us as we have stay in other VRBO that were not)
It has everything that we need.
The property is in a great location to walk to town, the marina or the lighthouse.
We have no need to use the car to go anywhere in Mount Dora.
We will be returning!

Girls getaway
Our girls trip getaway was amazing. The house was spotless and the sleeping arrangements were comfortable. The host was always in contact for anything we needed. The house was so close to everything we did. We walked to pizza, downtown shopping and a 5 minute drive to the antique extravaganza at Renningers.

Historic home with all the modern amenities
We were expecting a nice property, but it was even better than we imagined. The owner provided all the fine touches that you would see in a five star hotel. Excellent location for shopping and dining out in Mount Dora. When we returned to Mount Dora in the future, hopefully this property will be available!
