Family owned and run since 1971, Dora Canal Court is a 55+ community on the scenic Dora Canal with vacation rental cottages and residential tiny/mobile homes. Waterfront with boat access to the Harris Chain of Lakes, we’re located in downtown Tavares, Florida – America’s Seaplane City.
Central to Florida’s popular destinations, we’re just one hour from Daytona Beach and Orlando’s major theme parks: Walt Disney World, SeaWorld, and Universal Studios. Enjoy our newly remodeled and fully furnished cottages while experiencing the nearby springs, boating, fishing, golfing, wildlife, waterfront restaurants, entertainment, and more!
We had a very very short stay in Tavares while visiting family and the hotel options in the area were meh. They wanted as much as our St. Augustine beachfront hotel for little lake county so I reached out to Erica to see if we could rent a cottage (I might be getting old but I’m not anywhere near the 55+ park age haha). She was so gracious and picked out the perfect bungalow for us - it has all the comforts of home, the BEST bed - omg I slept like a baby - and was absolutely spotless. I’m a hotel snob and super picky about where I’ll sleep and this was better than many hotels I’ve stayed in. The residents were also really welcoming and I got to meet the sweetest floofy pug ♥️ Next time we will stay longer so I can enjoy sitting by the canal at night!
Sweet spot in a convenient quiet location. The recently remodelled cottage we stayed in was cute as a button and space was used extremely efficiently. Well furnished and comfortable. The spiral stairs were a challenge the first couple of uses but were a cinch after a little practice. Rick and Erica were super hosts and most accomodating. A great place to hide away.
I enjoyed my month-long stay at Dora Canal Court Vacation Cottages. My cottage rental was quiet, cozy, and clean. The staff was always kind, friendly, and helpful. I highly recommend!
I was stuck finding a reliable and safe place between milestones in my life. Dora Canal Court is clean, welcoming and fulfills my living needs with excellence for three months between my permenant living locations. Thank you Rick and staff for having me
Hidden gem on the Dora Canal downtown Tavares, Florida. Perfect quiet little tiny mobile home community with fully furnished vacation rental cottages for travel nurses and snowbirds. Family owned and operated over 50 years.
Family owned and operated over 50 years. Vacation cottage rentals on the beautiful Dora Canal in downtown Tavares, Florida.
This is a small, friendly, family-run business that cares about its guests. Their beautifully renovated units are right on the water and digital nomads will love the fast wifi as well as hard-wired internet. I was able to bike everywhere which made my 4-month stay last winter a delight. I highly recommend Dora Canal Court!
