Pet-friendly vacation 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!

I was only in town for one night and Ahmad’s place was exactly what I was looking for. It’s absolutely beautiful inside and even smelled really good because of the automatic air freshener. My pups were able to enjoy the space and backyard which was a huge plus. Will definitely see if his place is available next time I’m in town!

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

We stayed at Peter's place with our 15 year old and 1 year old dog. It was a great time for all of us! We used the boat and kayaks and enjoyed the screened porch in the evenings. Our pup loved exploring the entire property. Definitely recommend for a dog trip!

House, yard and pool were exactly what what we were looking for! Thank you to our hosts!

Our stay at the Butterfly cottage was everything we hoped for and more ! Being from a big city and wanting a nice get away to a smaller city we hoped right into Mount Dora . Our stay was comfortable and relaxing , during our trip my partner got extremely sick and our host was very accommodating to us ! She insured we were able to stay and relax while they felt better and let us stay one more night . I would recommend this Air b&b to any one . Thank you for hosting us !

We love staying at Claudia’s. The neighborhood is quiet, inside the house you can’t hardly hear any road noise. So easy to get to and very clean

We very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Alyssa was a great host, easy to communicate with & fast responding. Place was well kept, spacious & peaceful. Had a great stay, thanks!

Great house in the Villages close to many great restaurants. I loved the ability to swim in a private beautiful pool every morning. I highly recommend!

This was our second time staying at the beautiful cottage and we love it just as much! It is cozy, clean, and has really fun, retro appliances, etc. It’s private and comfortable and we loved it! The pool is cold, but I like swimming so I enjoyed it and it was clean and protected from leaves, etc. We will likely stay there again because we love it so much !

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!

Was a perfect house for my friends and I to relax at after each day of exploring the area. Quiet neighborhood and the pool was very relaxing.

We had a fantastic stay! The place was exactly as described—clean, private, and fully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The host was incredibly responsive and made check-in and communication super easy. It really felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

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.

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.

Nice quiet stay with plenty of room. Camper was clean and everything worked like advertised.

We Loved our weekend getaway at Darlene’s quaint cabin. It was an easy (and less than 2 hour) drive from Tampa! The location was great and easily accessible to the surrounding lakes and great restaurants with some awesome live music. The provided John boat was great for cruising the canals and fishing… we even caught lots of bluegill and a few good-sized bass right off of the dock at the cabin! Darlene was super responsive from the time of booking until our departure, although we only reached out to her to thank her for sharing her little piece of paradise with us. We will definitely return to this little gem!

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.

We had a wonderful time staying in Mt Dora. It is a beautiful community and the space made it feel even better. There is a lot of space inside to get comfortable and the outdoor space provides a chance for relaxation. The quiet and nature is very peaceful. Heather is a very kind host and staying with her was a very smooth experience. We would be happy to return to the space again and would recommend it for anyone looking to experience Mt Dora.

Fantastic experience from start to finish. The host was not only highly responsive but also proactive in ensuring we had everything we needed. The property itself is exactly as described—stylish, clean, and exceptionally well maintained. It’s situated in a prime, central location with easy access to bars, restaurants, and public spaces, which made exploring the city effortless. Whether you’re in town for a weekend getaway or a longer stay, this spot offers the ideal mix of comfort, convenience, and charm. Highly recommend.

Brianna’s place was exactly what I needed—a peaceful, clean, and cozy spot with thoughtful touches that made the stay feel special. The home was spotless and well-organized, with everything clearly labeled and easy to find. The bed was super comfortable, and I appreciated the extra blankets available. The kitchen was fully stocked with quality cookware and essentials, which made it easy to prepare meals. Brianna was a wonderful host—responsive, respectful of privacy, and incredibly accommodating. Her communication was clear and timely throughout the stay. She even provided a local guide with personal recommendations, which helped me discover a few hidden gems in the area. The neighborhood felt safe and was conveniently located near shops, dining, and nature spots. I’d absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, well-cared-for space hosted by someone who genuinely puts effort into making guests feel at home.
