About this property

Lake Dora/Canal House Exceptional views! Close to downtown Tavares & Mount Dora!

Wake up to beautiful sunrises, have coffee on the screened in porch as you watch the boats go in and out of the world famous Dora Canal. Walk down to the dock to go fishing, drive to the local restaurants and watch the sea planes take off. (This is the Top Floor. There is a bottom floor available called Harbor House Ground Floor).

Quiet Waterfront Getaway With Beautiful Views
We started our day with a stunning sunrise. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. We had a fire and enjoyed watching the seaplanes. We were concerned about hearing people below us, but we never heard them. I highly recommend this property.
