Perfect anniversary getaway

We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with a long weekend stay at The Mermaid House in Mount Dora. The house was perfect, the neighborhood great and close to downtown. When we had a question for the host he contacted us right away. Since it was very hot we didn’t get to enjoy the backyard oasis much. We hope to return in the fall

Quiet getaway

We enjoyed staying at the mermaid house. Cozy old cottage just big enough. Updated shower, adequate kitchen, comfortable beds. Could not figure out how to use the tvs. Close enough to walk downtown thru a safe pleasant neighborhood. Looking forward to going back later in the year.

UCF Sophomore Student - Move In/Getaway

We were taking our college Sophomore to UCF and get her set up in a new apartment and decided to stay in Mt. Dora to get away for a few days afterwards. It was a perfect place to get some rest and relaxation in before going back home to South Florida.
