What a beautiful home and neighborhood. So close to beautiful historic downtown Mt. Dora we just pulled in the driveway and walked everywhere we had to go. Liz and Lee are amazing from the moment you book with them Liz is wonderful with keeping you informed of what there is to do around town.We just got home and already booked with Liz and Lee for our next stay at another one of their homes.

PRIZE CATCH!
As usual, Liz and Lee have provided another 5-star experience!!! They have 3 houses, that I know of, and ALL are excellent. If you haven't experienced one of their properties before, get ready to relax and enjoy the totally perfect, small-town Florida stay...in style. Absolutely immaculate, yet homey. Modern, comfy furniture, incredible beds, spa towels, everything you need in the kitchen...just every amenity you might need, period. Short walk to town on quiet, oak-lined streets. It's like being in yesteryear. Including a welcome note and fresh eggs. Unheard of!!! This artistic immersion, which is sea life themed, is a delight. The artwork and decorations are simply amazing. How wonderful to be able to experience artists from around the world while lounging in a rental. Par for the course for these hosts. To think that for the cost of a hotel room you get an entire home filled with delightful artwork. This place even boasts large front & back porches. This place is definitely a prize catch! Thanks Liz and Lee for always making everything so smooth and easy. You always provide an unmatched stay.

Many fish but not fishy!!!
This is the most amazing rental I have ever had the pleasure of staying. There was nothing we could have wanted in the house that was not available. The artwork throughout the house was over the top! Fish of all kinds were the focal point: almost too many to take in. The owner, Liz, was incredible. My only disappointment was not meeting her in person!

We're hooked!!
Liz and Lee, Your cottage is AMAZING … but, more than that, so is your hospitality. From the personal, handwritten welcome note and fresh eggs to the fun supplies (touchless trash can and polka-dot dishes!) to the signature sea-life decor, you ensure your guests with countless smiles. A close look at the home accessories gives a true appreciation of the artists’ skills. All that, PLUS front and back SCREENED porches!! This is probably the most charming, organized, well-stocked, clean, and interesting vacation rentals we’ve experienced. The historic Fisherman’s Cottage sits on a quiet street, within an easy walk to town. It was truly a haven after a busy day of doing the “tourist thing.” Future renters, be warned: You might not want to leave! -Tim and Anne K

New Years in Mt. Dora
We have Forever Friends that had never been to Mt. Dora, We try to celebrate each New Years Eve together… This year we rented The Fisherman’s Cottage and the four of us all fell in Love the minute we opened the door… From the Marine Art throughout the cottage, to the kindness of our hosts, the City of Mt. Dora then add in the fantastic fireworks… We had the perfect New Years Getaway!!! Thank you Lisa and Lee for letting us share our holiday with you at your very special Fisherman’s Cottage…

Lost At Sea
Go on… open the front door & look inside. It’s like opening a surprise present. Liz is incredibly talented has spot on taste & contacts with people who create the most incredible one of a kind art pieces for her homes. Their 3 homes range in size & each have a different decor & vibe. Dive deep into The Fisherman’s Cottage, a home that is fully stocked with thoughtful green products & top of the line appliances. The home is sparkling clean, so inviting & downright fun. We love the easy walk to Mount Dora’s downtown. That way you always have a parking spot & get a little exercise at the same time. Liz & Lee think of everything & go out of their way to make sure your stay is special. You won’t want to leave, you will want to stay lost at sea in the Fisherman’s Cottage!

In all of Mount Dora, Liz and Lee’s rentals are where we love to stay. We have never been disappointed! Pictures can’t tell the full story because The Fisherman’s Cottage is full of jaw dropping fantasy decor of the sea. Whimsical and interesting every place you look. Their homes are always comfortable, well appointed, fresh and sparkling clean with plenty of extras for the vacationer. Liz thinks of everything to make your stay fun and surprising & is the consummate host! The cottage is an easy stroll to the downtown area where the shops and restaurants beckon. Book early as this cottage is popular. Thank you Liz & Lee, this property hooks my spirit every time!

Such a Wonderful Experience
This was the perfect quaint getaway experience. The decor was second to none, with many unique and beautiful adornments that could be found just about everywhere, and even places you wouldn't expect to find them. The house was fully stocked with everything one could imagine, including pots and pans, toiletries, condiments and spices, and extra towels and linens. Lee was so kind, and started communicating with me shortly after the booking, which made check-in an absolute breeze. She also welcomed us with special fresh bakery treats, along with a beautiful personalized welcome letter. I would recommend this to anyone who loves to be near the center of a beautiful town, but tucked away into a beautiful neighborhood. The porches are also wonderful, for those who like enjoying listening to the birds or enjoying natural surroundings. It was an amazing getaway! I would recommend it to anyone!

The cottage & hosts are the best VRBO I've stayed in! We're 2 old fishing partners that have aged with arthritis & the location couldn't have been better for a short walk into town for the Christmas Lighting Festival, Shopping & eating. The cottage has everything & more. Our host Liz & Lee had left us with cute little blue eggs & cookies. What a great arrival gift! We are definitely planning our next trip there. Liz & Lee have other properties close to town for a larger group &/or Family but for just the 2 of us the Fishermans Cottage was perfect!
