Vacation Rental Description

 
This character English owned, 1950's built pool villa is located in 
the  quaint little town of Mount Dora, 26 miles from Sanford Orlando 
Airport and situated in the rolling hills and lakes of beautiful 
Lake County in Central Florida.
The town is characterized as little New England by travel gurus and 
is known as the "Antique capital" of Florida. The town's Lake Dora 
front setting features an ante-bellum Inn, said to be the oldest in 
Florida where you can sit in a rocking chair on the porch watching 
the sunset with a cold beer or home-made lemonade, dozens of 
shoppes, quaint eateries, and open air pubs, there's even a dogs 
bakery there! Many visitors also liken Mount Dora to a cross between 
New Orleans and Key West.
 A world away from the Blackpool style International Drive or 
housing estates of Kissimmee and Clermont.However the theme parks 
and attractions are less than an 45 mins away and the beaches less 
than 
two hours to either coast. This area offers all of the activities 
the beautiful state of Florida has to offer, yet comfortably away 
from the crowds.
Ten minutes away are shopping malls, movie theaters, numerous 
restaurants, grocery stores, golf courses, and a new state-of-the-
art full service medical facility.
The town is twinned with Forres in Scotland and this is evident by 
some of the street names like Highland Avenue and there is also the 
Scottish themed Highland Cafe which is walking distance of our house.

Situated backing right onto Mount Dora public golf course yet still 
retains a degree of privacy around the south-facing 30' x 15' pool
(unheated)and large secluded gardens.
Our spacious home is clean and bright and newly re-decorated and 
carpetted.
The master bedroom suite is situated at the opposite end from the 
other bedrooms allowing for privacy from your other guests. 
All furniture and linens are new and European in style.
However obviously the architectural style reflects the age and charm 
of the home.
It has three bedrooms consisting of a master ensuite with sunken 
mosaic roman style tub. This room has one King size bed and one day-
bed. 

Bed 2 has two twin beds and bed 3 has a queen double with a single 
bunk above. There is also a double futon in the Florida room. Beds 
two and 3 share a bathroom and the house will comfortably sleep 8 
adults and accomodate 10 with the futon. A travel cot is also 
available.

There is a large kitchen with dishwasher and eating area , a dryer 
and washer in the utility room. And a dining table that seats 10 in 
the dining room. The lounge has a vaulted cathedral style ceiling 
and a 27" tv and multi-region DVD player.


The home comfortably sleeps 8 and will accomodate 10 plus infant.

The City of Mount Dora was established in 1880 when it was 
originally named Royellou, a combination of the children's names of 
one of the City's pioneers. Later taking the name of it's famous 
lake, and adding the "mount" because it is elevated higher than most 
of the Central Florida area, 266 feet above sea level.

collectors! There are probably more interesting and varied antique 
dealers per square foot than any other place in Florida.

Dora enjoys plays at the IceHouse Theatre, concerts and recitals by 
international artists at the Mount Dora Festival of Music & 
Literature, gallery openings, and on-going exhibitions at the Mount 
Dora Center for the Arts.  Directly behind the Center for the Arts 
on Royellou Lane is the Royellou Museum at the Old 
City Jail, providing a glimpse of Mount Dora life from the past to 
the present.

Taking a cruise on the Dora Canal will bring you back in time. A one-
mile stretch of water remains the same as it was more than 100 years 
ago. This is definitely an area for those who enjoy nature, lakes, 
fishing and golf. 
 
There are boat rentals and Bass tournaments on the lake.
On day trips from the Mount Dora Railway, you can experience the 
comfort and heyday of an authentic railroad passenger car, The Mount 
Dora Limited. The Mount Dora excursion train makes a round-trip run 
from Mount Dora to Travares then back again, offering lovely views 
of Lake Dora, tropical foliage and wildlife from it's open window 
coaches. 
For Golfers there is the adjacent Mount Dora public Golf Course.This 
is an old course built in 1947 with mature black oaks, Spanish moss 
and much charm.  Dramatic changes of elevation make this course 
unique in Florida. This could be the best value in the entire 
Orlando area!This course has a few hills which is a rarity in 
Florida. The fairways are tight, and the greens are well manicured. 
The most difficult hole is #18, a par 4, with out-of-bounds stakes 
on the right.
