The house is in a great area for visiting springs, the zoo, Mt. Dora, etc. we found it to be centrally located for all we wanted to do while in the area. The house could use a good scrub inside but it was clean enough to be comfortable. Overall a great spot.
Weather was terrible, Tom was awesome to work with, weather was awful, place was awesome just as we expected! Tom said he had no control of the weather.
We had a great stay! The house was great a centrally located close to everything. The house was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend
The house is perfect if you are out and doing things, we went to the beach, boat rides, Universal Studious, and came back to a homey environment that was clean, comfortable, cool, without any issues! We enjoyed our stay and would use this place again without hesitation!
Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Cute lil house. Had all the amenities needed. Clean & Tom was nice to deal with.

Myra was was a wonderful host who responded quickly. The rental was very reasonably priced. Also, it is in the perfect location. Walking distance to town, and the boardwalk. It was very clean also. Would love to stay here again in the future if we are back in the area.
We were very satisfied with our stay and our host, Tom, was very accommodating. Just a little warning, (for senior renters) the sofa is very low with soft cushions (comfortable but hard to get up from)
Quiet neighborhood/area close to historic downtown. House has window unit with split units in bedrooms that kept the temperature pleasant with ceiling fans running. Bedroom ac units are noisy.
We stayed at the house for 6 weeks to escape our northern winter. We found everything we needed there for our stay.
The neighborhood was quiet and there were 2 parks nearby to walk the dog. We loved all of the beautiful old live oak trees in the area.
Check in was easy and the host responded quickly we we had a concern.
We enjoyed being there.
Convenient location to restaurants in historic Sanford. Easy to Lake Monroe and I 4. There is no furnace heat and space heaters are provided. The a/c is ceiling fans and a room air conditioner with wall mounted ventless single room a/c in some rooms. Really cool weather and really hot weather will be difficult . As far as pet friendly - the yard is not fenced in. There is someone living in the backyard in a tiny converted shed type building - sharing same address.. as 1/2. There is really no grass just a minimal area with sand and dirt with fallen leaves. But- within a very short walk, there is a beautiful quiet park with concrete paths and pet friendly poo bags provided. We mostly walked there for “our business”.
The facility is mostly clean but very worn furniture . There is shower only- no tub. The kitchen has been updated and has full size appliances.
The house served our purposes of visiting family living in Sanford.
This is a lovely cozy three bedroom and one bath house that is walking distance to downtown Sanford and all of its restaurants, breweries, and shops. There's also a wonderful dog park close by if you have a furry friend traveling with you. Check in is easy, the owner is responsive, and all in all it was a wonderful place to stay in central florida.
Nice three night stay. Location easy to get around. The king bed was very comfortable.

it is well-appointed even although it is an older house. It has 3 bedrooms which are rather small and only 1 bath. this being said, it is comfortable and very conveniently located for visiting Sanford.
This was my first time renting through VRBO & it was an easy process. The house was awesome. It took a while getting used to the ac but after it was perfect. The neighborhood was quiet , it was really nice sitting outside on the porch at night in silence. Friendly neighbors too. The location was perfect , if we didn’t want to be in the Orlando area there was stuff to do near by that was just as fun. I would 100% book again
This is what I was looking for. Quiet neighborhood within walking distance to 1st Street restaurants and shopping. Property is comfortable and clean. Easy access to drive to Lake St. Mary. Would definitely stay again.
