Whenever we talk of Central Florida, two heavyweights immediately come to mind: Orlando and Tampa. But there’s more to the region than the big cities. St. Augustine, the oldest city in the United States, is located a short drive from Orlando. And then there’s Mount Dora, well-known in the Sunshine State for its endless string of annual festivals, numerous things to do, and its historic downtown district, where you can find streets lined with some of the best antique shops in the country. Here in Mount Dora, history and parties go hand in hand for sure. Come around when you’re in Central Florida and stay at one of these best Airbnb vacation rentals in Mt Dora, Florida.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 09, 2024.
