Amazing Little Bungalow!

Our stay was great, the level of detail in the renovations as well as the extra efforts taken to provide comfort and experience were very evident. The linens were high quality and the kitchen had everything I needed to cook. I had to communicate more than most VRBO stays due to some logistical changes and Wayne was very accommodating and responsive. Historic Sanford is very charming with plenty to do within walking distance. The entire family was happy, I highly recommend this rental!

Charming cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay in this charming cottage in the historic district. It was perfectly equipped for our needs, very clean, and conveniently located where we could walk to shops and restaurants easily. It was also very quiet and felt very safe. We had an issue with the smoke alarm at first, and Wayne came over right away to address the issue. We plan to return next year.

Larger than it looks!

This home looks small from the pictures but then you walk inside and it has so much room! I was really impressed with its beauty, the amenities and its charm. I cooked Christmas dinner here for some friends from out of town. I will definitely book it again! You can walk downtown to all of the shopping and stores but its far enough away to where you dont hear any noise. Id say a 10 minute walk if you stroll and a 3 minute drive.

Great house, great location

Loved this house. Someone did a great job with setting this house up. Everything made sense. Light switches were where you would think they would be, hooks in the right spot. Often times when we VRBO you have to take an hour to figure out how to turn lights, tv and fan on. Clean and well thought out. Appreciated the snacks and stuff as well. Perfect location close to downtown Sanford. We walked down there every morning and had a great walk and breakfast. Highly recommend if you are looking for a stay in Sanford this is a great spot.

Great Florida Getaway

When we arrived it was no surprise this property had a 10/10 review. It’s a beautiful home; we loved the layout, and the decor and design were very well thought out. The appliances are new and worked very well. We loved the simple door lock type combo for easy coming and going. The house is historical but clearly renovated and very well sealed. We had a one technical hiccup come up, and Wayne was quick to respond and got it addressed immediately. He was the perfect combo of there when you needed him but respectful and leaving us be. I can’t say enough good things. We love the area and the house. It was perfect for our two kids and me and my partner. Can’t wait to stay there again on our next visit!

Peaceful Cottage

My husband and I stayed for 2:weeks on a business trip recently. The cottage was perfect for us. It was very clean and close to all the downtown shops and restaurants but far enough away to be very quiet and peaceful. A park is across the street and is a great place to walk a dog or let children run and play. We enjoyed having coffee on the front porch in the mornings seeing the beautiful park. The surrounding neighborhood was also nice for walking every morning. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed and the washer and dryer came in handy since we were there for 2 weeks. The queen size bed was on the soft side but comfortable enough. There was plenty of closet space also. A nice sized table in the dining room was a great space to work on since we were there on business. This cottage had everything we needed for our 2 weeks. It was a wonderful stay and we will be back. Thank you!

Cute Cottage

This is our second time staying at this house. It’s in a great location with a pretty park in front of it. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. We have family that lives 5 minutes away so it’s perfect for family to visit, come and go and have dinner together. Since our stay last year, the bathroom was updated to a nice walk in shower. The shower fixture was really nice and water pressure was excellent. We’ll be staying here again.
