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.

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.

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!!!

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!

Why they chose this property

You feel like you aren't in the city when staying at The Sanford Sunshine Cottage. Surrounded by towering oak trees, in a quiet neighborhood, it is a great place to relax and have a good nights rest. Great award wining breweries and restaurants are just minutes away from the house. Stroll down first street and shop at some local, unique independently owned shops.
