Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Tavares

We had an incredible stay at Gateway Galloway Ranch! Our whole friend group loved it—especially hanging out in the pool and playing games on the Switch. The space was comfortable, fun, and had everything we needed. Best of all, it was super close to our friend’s wedding venue, which made everything so convenient. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed this place over Memorial Day weekend 2025. Offered easy access for our boat, perfect size for our family of 4! The host was very responsive and accommodating! Would definitely rent this place again.

We had a wonderful time at the Mermaid Cottage. Steve, Amy and their son were wonderful hosts. Steve was so easy to communicate with and immediately solved any issues that we had. We were very happy with the inside of the lovely cottage and totally enjoyed the front porch and beautiful backyard. We enjoyed walking in the neighborhood especially to downtown Mt. Dora. The neighbors were extremely friendly and we got to know many of them. We highly recommend the Mermaid Cottage. Thank you Steve&Amy for a lovely vacation. Karen&Doug

What an amazing 2 weeks with family!! Don’t hesitate to book this GEM of a home! It’s beautiful, peaceful (on a culdesac) SUPER QUIET at night, great spots to eat at the waterfront and all around Minneola in general. We had an issue with warming the spa and both were very responsive, ordered the part and within 2 days its was perfect. This house had EVERY amenity you would need and then some…games indoor and outdoor, kids books, fire pit, swing, blankets to cozy up on couch, dog bowls, leashes, toys etc. They truly make you feel like it’s home. We can’t rave about it enough!! We were only a short half hour drive away from Disney also. Our 2 small dogs absolutely LOVED chasing lizards and frogs around the pool area! We would LOVE to come back if they would have us! Thank you again for being such great hosts! All you do to make your guests feel comfortable at home does NOT go unnoticed! Until next time beautiful Clermont/Minneola!!! 💕

We had a great stay. The residence was beautiful and came with everything we needed. Our 4 and 1 year old enjoyed the toys provided. The pool was private and relaxing. Neighborhood very quiet with kind neighbors. Thank you for everything ❤️

Absolutely great place, experience and communication. We had a great time. It was easy, clean, and peaceful. If I go back to that area I would definitely love to stay longer. Thank you Sarah, you were incredible.

Nice and clean place! Would stay again.

We had a wonderful stay and would definitely book again. Tina was a wonderful host. Thank you so much for a memorable place to stay and the wonderful recommendations. We had a great time.

Great stay! Close to everything and love the golf cart and pool

Very lovely house with great amenities and was very clean. The host was very responsive and had clear instructions for the house. The pictures and descriptions matched the property very well. The location was close to everything needed. Would recommend and would stay again!

Thank you so much for your warm hospitality. We had an amazing weekend— your beautiful home was incredibly peaceful and made for such a memorable stay. My family was truly happy and felt so welcomed. We deeply appreciate everything!

We enjoyed staying at Michael’s house. We especially loved taking care of the pigs. My sisters and my nieces and nephews got to come over and we had a lovely time together in the pool and just spending time together. It is a great place to relax and just spend time with family. Michael was an excellent host anytime I needed anything. He was answered straight back to me. I think the only thing I would recommend him do is maybe put a rail on the steps outside going to the pool cause if you’re kind of an older person, it’s kinda hard to get up and down the step. I would come and stay again.

The host Carmen was very responsible & very polite. The house is exactly like in the picture yet better! It was absolutely beautiful with everything we needed. It was a very comfortable stay, everything was very well cleaned & organized we did not need to go out of our ways to get anything the house is equipped with everything you need. 10/10! Highly recommend especially if you have children, the pool & the game room was perfect. My family & I are happy & will look foward to booking again in the near future.

This was the perfect place to stay. This home is beautifully decorated, and such a nice little quiet retreat. I felt like I was staying in a home that was showcased in a magazine. The beds are so comfy and the pool is serene. I had the most relaxing weekend ever, thank you Nicole!

Ernie and Jeff were immaculate hosts and now considered friends! The property was beautiful and well curated, but it was an environment to nurture and enrich the soul!! This will be an annual, if not bi-annual trip! Close to everything, great food and dining experiences all within 2-5 miles!! Ernie is a wealth of knowledge and is passionate to ensure his guests/new friends are cared for with the utmost of diligence. Thank you for an amazing vacation and we now consider them extended family! Job well done new friends! We miss you already! Much love!

Stayed here for a long weekend with my friend and 2 dogs. BEAUTIFUL PLACE! Close proximity to the springs, restaurants, and activities! Would 100% stay here again.

Stayed here for 2 nights and will definitely be coming back! Walking distance from restaurants and bars. 2 minutes drive to down town Mount Dora and the area is peaceful and quite! Extremely clean and beautifully decorated room with updated appliances. My favorite part is the back patio for when you come back from having a long day adventuring and just want to sip some wine

Super cute place and great location near the horse park. Adrian was an excellent host and thought of everything. Our folks really enjoyed their stay.

Our stay was perfect for a quick stay with my teenage son headed to a camp nearby. The drive in was amazingly peaceful, the property is beautiful and quiet, and the space was immaculate and comfy. Will definitely stay here again.

We had a truly relaxing and peaceful stay at Bob’s beautiful lakeside property. The setting was perfect — quiet, scenic, and surrounded by nature. I especially loved spending time by the water and photographing the wildlife. Bob and Melanie were wonderful hosts, making sure everything was comfortable and easy. If you’re looking for a peaceful and pet friendly getaway to reconnect with nature, this is the perfect spot. We can’t wait to come back!

It was a truly amazing home inside and outside. We were able to enjoy the Jacuzzi and even sit out on the patio in the middle of a hot Florida afternoon thanks to the beautifully shaded patio with very good ceiling fans. Everything was clean and nicely labeled. The bedrooms were quite cozy. And our only slight concern was that the queen in the master bedroom was a bit too cozy and not quite a queen.

We had an amazing stay at Linda’s. Her correspondence was quick, and she was very pleasant and accommodating. The guest house was nothing short of beautiful. Very tastefully decorated, clean, and well equipped. The bed is soooo comfortable! Highly recommend! Will definitely stay again if we get back to Mount Dora.

I have never written a review on an Airbnb place before but had to for this one. Not only was the home exactly what we were looking for but Nicholas’ hospitality was exceptional. We had to travel to clean out my grandfathers house, which is not exactly a “great trip” to begin with but he was very nice and eager to assist with anything we needed while staying. All around great host! House was exactly what we needed, a place to crash after a long day but the house was super clean and the beds were SOOOO COMFY! And loved that there was a fan in every room and cold waters in the fridge for us when we got there!

We enjoyed our stay at Heather's place! We had everything that we needed. The layout was nice and comfortable. Loved the converted Florida room bedroom - with plenty of privacy with all of the curtains. Thoroughly impressed by the mini splits ability to keep the whole space comfortable! The location is a great proximity to all that there is to do in downtown Mt. Dora. Walkable is a matter of opinion, especially given the heat & humidity. But you can quickly zip around to get everywhere that you need. The kitchenette served all of the purposes we needed. If we were staying longer and wanting to do more cooking at the Air BnB we might have wanted a more proper kitchen; but for a 4 day weekend and only cooking breakfast (oatmeal & eggs); we had everything we needed (olive oil, salt and pepper were on location! life saver). The recommendations and brochures that she has put together should not be slept on! We would absolutely stay here again!
