The Little Blue Bungalow, a Cozy 1940’ Schoolhouse, 5 min walk to Restaurants,

This 4Br/2ba 1940’s Bamboo Bungalow is located in downtown Mount Dora, Fl . Known for art festivals and for having one of the largest antique flea markets around, Renningers just 3 mins away. The opening of the 429 makes it a quick ride to Disney and Universal. Pet friendly shopping and award winning restaurants are within walking distance with live bands and local beer from Mt. Dora Brew Pub. Catch a play at the Ice House Theatre or watch the sunset by the Lighthouse overlooking Lake Dora.

Take a trip down memory lane as you look around the house and see a mix of antique items I ve hand picked out directly from “Renningers Antique Flea Market” combined with new age decor and furniture. Every room in this vintage home has a Memory foam mattress, towel sets, new pillows and new sheets.

FUN FACT- Neighbors tell me I purchased the first elementary school of Mount Dora which was placed here in the 40 s by a sweet woman named Mrs. Race.

Inside the bamboo surrounded Bungalow you’ll find an open kitchen with all your basic kitchen essential. Open up the first set of French doors which lead to a separate living room or a possible 4th bedroom with a pull out queen-sized sofa bed and a Smart TV. The next set of French doors lead to the back porch equipped with a BBQ grill, lots of greenery and is fenced in. By the garage a mud room with a washer and dryer for your convenience.

In the morning enjoy brunch at “One flight up” overlooking the downtown area. Visit Gilbert Park with the kiddos or take a pontoon boat tour and learn about the history of Mount Dora as it flows down the Dora Canal. Shopping downtown is always fun with so many little shops with antiques to choose from. Walk over to the brewery and later grab a bite at one of the more popular pizza places around, (PizzAmore). So many restaurants to choose from to include Cuban, Italian, British, American, Thai, Mexican…the list goes on. 12 miles away in Apopka, Florida visit one of my favorite places around, Kelly Park Rock Springs. Here you can cruise down an all-natural lazy river with crystal blue waters and some of Florida s natural landscape for a relaxing day out. During the evening of the colder months the functioning fireplace is sure to keep you warm. If you’re in town during the holidays, take a walk downtown and see the many many lights and Christmas décor Mount Dora is also known for.

Quaint little house in Mt Dora, FL
The Blue Bungalow is an adorable property that was found to be very clean, nicely decorated and well equipped. However the house is advertised as a 5 min walk to restaurants. It is 5 min by car but not walking distance for the elderly. The house does not have a reversible a/c unit for heat. The only way to keep warm is using the fireplace that we are not familiar with it and had no instructions for its use. Sometimes the temp inside was about 40 degrees and it was hotter outside than inside.The house can use a little TLC in some places like entrance to 2nd bathroom by laundry area that had a lot of things that could have been put away inside the garage and not for guests viewing. This by no means criticizing the property, just merely to contribute to a better experience. I would gladly rent the house in summer when the weather is warmer. Thank you Jessica for a great 3 day mini vacation in Mt Dora.

Perfect for the group
This was a charming house that has it all, the outside area with a deck and fire pit was just perfect for this cold weekend. It was pet friendly with a fully fenced backyard. The host even had a pet basket with needed bowls and such in case you forgot yours. The beds were super comfy. Highly recommend this location if you want to explore Mt. Dora as it is central to downtown and Renningers.

Little Blue Bungalow
The sweetest little house decorated in a shabby chic style that we absolutely loved. Jessica made the house so inviting for our pre Christmas stay with all the essentials needed and a spacious yard for my girlfriends Shih Tzu. We will definitely come back for another visit.

Wonderful rental
Owner was so helpful, especially when we locked ourselves out of the house. Beautiful home, and very comfortable. Would love to stay again if we can figure out how to get downtown without using the car. Was too far to walk for a couple of the ladies. Peaceful and great for the animals.
