We enjoyed our stay. The apartment was clean, quiet and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the porch with its peaceful view. The location was convenient to the Sanford, Mt. Dora area. There are golf courses close by. We plan on coming back again. The owners were friendly and very helpful. Great place to stay and get away from the cold winters.

Lovely place, gracious hosts

This lovely apartment served as my home away from home for two weeks. I had everything I needed plus Jim and Beth, my hosts, who were ever so gracious making sure I had everything I needed during my stay. There was even coffee for my first morning, a special blessing since I arrived so late the night before and could not make a grocery trip. The apartment is clean and comfortable, the bathroom and kitchen are modern and well-equipped. I would certainly recommend this place for any reason that would bring you to the area. Thank you again Jim and Beth.

A GEM

Quiet serene and lively cottage in the country. Very relaxing and just a short drive away from quaint towns in the area. Beth and Jim are very down to earth and very welcoming. Feel we have made friends for life. We stayed here for a few weeks until our home was ready. Love the area!

A wonderful "get away" to a home away from home.

We were in dire need of a base in Central Florida to be able to closely follow our new home during construction. We found the best apartment in Eustis/Mount Dora with absolutely wonderful landlords. Beth and Jim are fantastic, committed to making your stay comfortable and "worry free". We spent two great months with them through the Christmas season and they welcomed us to their family. They have become close friends and we feel blessed to have had the opportunity to spend time with them. Should you ever have the need to travel to the Mount Dora/Eustis are you should take the opportunity to stay with Beth and Jim Byrd, you will leave with great memories. However, you should contact them soon because they are in demand.

Wonderful Private, Pet-friendly retreat!

Great country place to come home to after busy days of exploring Lake County and environs! The Atlantic ocean beaches and the Gulf were both only about an hour away! Ocala National Forest?...just under a half hour. Peaceful yard outside the door, room enough for your dog to play frisbie. Beth & Jim are wonderful, and made sure our 3 month stay was comfortable. Great people & great place!

Elizabeth and Jim were wonderful hosts. They both made my husband and I feel very welcome, along with our two dogs. The apartment was exactly as described on the web site, clean, nicely furnished with a very homey feel. The property was very peaceful and private. We felt at home as soon as we arrived. We would have booked for next year, but it was already taken. We give this rental property and our hosts 5 stars.

Couldn't Have Asked For More!!!

My husband and I visited Florida to decide whether we wanted to become snow birds or find a permanent home to buy. We were very fortunate to find this listing in Eustis. From the time of our arrival to the time of our departure we were made to feel at home. The apartment was very clean and neat and had everything needed to make our stay enjoyable. Beth and Jim treated us like family, making sure all our needs were met while maintaining our privacy. We enjoyed setting on the porch, on rocking chairs drinking our morning coffee while enjoying the peaceful country scenery. We couldn't have been more satisfied with our stay. If we could give more than 5 stars we would. We highly recommend this rental. We did find a home to buy in Eustis.

This place is the best!!!!!

I have had the opportunity to stay at this property for over 3 months while on a work assignment in Florida and am very sad to leave it. There is not enough good things to say about it or the landlords. It is an immaculate property with any and everything you need for a short or long term stay. The location is wonderful. Centrally located to everything from historic Mount Dora to both coasts. The property has a charming country atmosphere and is wonderfully pet friendly. I could feel myself relax the moment I drove up on the quiet serenity surrounding the apartment. The landlords, Jim and Beth, quickly became extended family but also gave me all the privacy I could want. They are wonderful people and a joy to get to know. You can not go wrong staying here and will find yourself hating to leave and hoping to return. So if you are on the fence about a rental this one is an outstanding choice. I felt so safe and secure and away from things I seldom even locked the door unless I was going to be gone overnight. Once I leave Florida I hope to come back periodically and this will definitely be a preferred destination if it is available. Choose the gem with confidence you will love it.

Glad we stayed here

We stayed here for 3 months looking for a home. Only need to bring clothes! The kitchen utensils were nice quality, comfortable couch and nice to have washer and dryer included. The size of this apartment fit our needs. Location perfect, 5 minutes from shopping. We enjoyed the porch looking out to the field. The owners are super, available any time and respected our privacy.

Home Away from Home

This is a beautiful, comfortable, country property! While we were going through the stress of moving and searching for a home to purchase, we truly felt at home in this clean, sweet setting and felt taken care of by the owners. It was very private but the owners were always available to answer questions. We'd come back anytime!

When we talked to Beth about booking their rental, she said if you see it you won't want to stay anywhere else. She was right. It is in the country, but close to shopping, restaurants or anything you need. There was plenty of room, full kitchen, nice living room and bedrooms, bathroom. You have your own washer/dryer. Very clean, and peaceful, and the landlords are the nicest people you will ever meet. We will stay there everytime we go to Florida.

Quiet getaway... a little bit of heaven!

Property, location, and owners were all superb! Nice and clean and very accommodating. Unfortunately for other reasons, unable to rent but a lovely option. If you're looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy life... look no further. Was willing to allow 2 adult golden retrievers too... perfect location for our four-legged friends!

Great Florida country escape

This is a great cottage for a get-away or longer term. Everything you need is there in a quiet country setting but only 10-12 minutes from town. Close to Mount Dora too. The owners, Jim & Beth, are so gracious and are there to assist you with anything. Very accommodating.Property is as described & very clean. Lovely setting and very comfortable. We will be back! Thank you Jim & Beth!
