Very comfortable & relaxing place to stay.

Its very cute, reminds me of the old Florida homes of the 20s (I've seen in pictures) but very well kept up and all the modern conveniences. I loved the deck off the upstairs bedroom, perfect place for morning coffee.

Great home! Unexpected treasure

Love this quaint home near downtown. Easy drive to many places in and out of town. Beds were very comfortable and the screened in porch and hammock were a family favorite. We would love to come back!

Stay Here!

This home was the perfect getaway. We really felt like we were on vacation. It was spacious enough to complete all the preparations for a wedding; the decor was fabulous; all parties had their own private spaces; the owner was very accommodating, even bringing us last-minute items for our impromptu beach trip. Our family would stay here again.

Beautifully rustic and authentic

Six adults, one child, and two small dogs in our party and there was plenty of room. I will rent this property again. There were a few things not perfect but this is a historic property and we knew that at the beginning.

This was an older home packed with charm. It is a great combination of new and old. The home has air conditioning that works perfectly, The sheets are very soft and the beds are very comfortable. There are excellent additional outlets at each bed for all the electronics these days. The washer and dryer were efficient and convenient.All bathrooms had my favorite Costco soap, shampoo, and conditioner. There is an iron and hair dryer so no need to bring them. There are some spices and the kitchen is well equipped. The host was super responsive and very easy to connect with via her phone, I think it was a score!!

Privacy for everyone

We were very pleased with the accommodations. 3 bedroom and 2 baths in main house and a quaint efficiency with separate entrance from house. Worked very well for our needs. Also had 3 pups who were safe to roam outside since it was securely fenced. Definitely would recommend for a larger group

Perfect Place for a Perfect Stay

This property is in a very convenient location close to downtown Sanford activities, restaurants, and grocery stores. The host has thought of everything you'll need for a getaway. We loved sitting around the big kitchen table with everyone in the open floor plan area. The separate upstairs sleeping area was perfect for the couple who needed a little more "space". We felt safe in the area and enjoyed our neighborhood walks. I highly recommend this house.

The location was excellent. The neighborhood was quiet. The house was just as described and exceeded our expectations. Sara contacted us when a storm knocked out electric and wifi for a bit and kept us updated. The home is warm and is kind of a step back in time but up to date at the same time. The guest apartment is a bonus as well as the balcony. We have stayed at many Vrbo homes and some were great and others just okay. But we will definitely visit this one again. It is a gem.

The home was very comfortable for all of us!!

We loved looking at all the antiques and mature trees shading the patio and decks were so calming! My 83 year old father struggled with the low toilet in the downstairs bathroom, but if we had a raised toilet seat with us, that would have taken care of the problem.

Best vacation rental experience ever!

We loved our time here! Sara was super flexible with us and has provided a beautiful home away from home for people visiting the area. The house is beautiful and has everything we needed for our 5 day stay for 6 people plus our two year old granddaughter. All the beds were super comfortable, the bedding and towels were high quality, and we found all the basic supplies we needed were provided. It was a perfect mix of vintage and updated, with all the latest gadgets, plus tons of great records from the 70s and 80s and vintage toys and games for your downtime. Definitely recommend!!!
