About this property

Alderwood lake house Sanford/Orlando near SFB

Our lovely home overlooks Lake Ada in Sanford, Florida. This lake is a hidden gem just 10 minutes drive to Sanford International Airport SFB. Cozy and comfortable setting, in the midst of all that Sanford has to offer.

This comfortable home updated laminate floors, a large master suite with private bathroom. This is a split bedroom plan with the master on the opposite side of the home as the other bedrooms for added privacy. There are two full bathrooms and a nice screened porch overlooking the lake.

There are two flat screen smart TV's in the home. One in the family room and one in the master bedroom. We have many local channels available via antenna along with Netflix and many other viewing options available through the smart TV. You are also welcome to watch movies that we keep on site.

convenient location

we were happy to have a house to go back to after long days on the field hockey field for a tournament. The owner was very accommodating to allow us to have an extended check out to come back and shower after we were on the field in the pouring down rain to take showers before our flight. The house was clean. I had a great view of the lake and bonus, we had cranes that visited every morning to say hello.nice stay!

Great location for us to stay and attend a wedding at Lake Mary Event Center that is 8 minutes away. Kid friendly and plenty of space for our family of 5. There is a playground one street over that was great for kids to get energy out.

Relaxing Getaway

The home is centrally located to everything you'll need, felt welcoming, and has a great view of Lake Ada. The dock is great to just sit and relax or go fishing. Neighbors are friendly and kind. We stayed 4 nights and already thinking about rebooking later in the year.

Perfect Lake House Getaway

This was the most amazing stay. Blown away by this little home and lake. The owner was always within reach and did his best to help us with any question we had. We couldn’t have booked a better place honestly. The fishing off the dock was so much fun, the family each caught something and they were huge! Turtles were cute. House was clean and provided everything we could need. Will most definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Jay Davidson

Host profile image
We are part time missionaries who have led medical and other mission teams all over the world; focusing for the last few years on the fight against the horrible crime of Human Trafficking. We work through our local church and Teresa has founded "Chains Interrupted" which works locally, nationally and world wide to increase awareness as well as real prevention, rehabilitation and even rescue.
We love to travel and have children in 5 states.

Why they chose this property

When we found this hidden gem on a private water ski lake (Jay is an avid skier), we knew it was the home for us. We like to be close to the Sanford Airport as we travel through there a lot.
We have a second home on this lake (VRBO #2054498) and a third home on the smaller lake in the same neighborhood (VRBO #2422057)
