About this property

This tiny, cozy cottage has all you will need for a weekend getaway to beautiful Historic Downtown Sanford, but it will also be a comfortable place for a longer stay. Enjoy a double bed with a high end mattress as well as a desk and comfortable office chair ideal for remote work. The living room has a double bed sized IKEA sofa bed for extra sleeping accommodations, but keep in mind, the cottage is small so 4 adults in the space might feel a bit tight. Enjoy high speed Internet as well as a 42 inch smart TV (incl. Netflix). The cottage is fully fenced w/ a private outdoor courtyard (table, chairs + umbrella).
From the cottage you are only 2 blocks away from everything historic downtown has to offer. The walk to popular downtown with all its eateries, breweries, shops and bars is idyllic with beautiful historic homes and majestic oak trees. The lakefront and Riverwalk are also in walking or biking distance. You will love the unique urban lifestyle this cottage provides!

Would stay again

This cute cottage was the perfect place to stay for the weekend when attending a wedding at a nearby venue. It was clean, comfortable, and offered the perfect amount of space for 2 adults. Check in was easy and the hosts were kind and communicative. If I’m ever back in the area, I would definitely stay here again!

NO FLUSH - Don't stay here.

If we were staying longer we would have complained while we were there. We only had 2 nights and didn't want to waste our time with this issue and totally ruin our stay. They have a cute little sign in the bathroom about what not to flush. Jokes on us, because you literally can't flush the toilet water, let alone the things on their sign. They clearly knew they had plumbing issues with the sign in the bathroom. We had to plunge the toilet every time it was used. We resorted to using bathrooms in local businesses while we were there. Any VRBO should have properly working toilet in it.

About the host

Hosted by Claudia Mundlos

Hi there, we are Jose and Claudia and we look forward to hosting you and your family! We moved to Sanford in 2004 and fell in love with the historic district right away! We have two boys who love playing soccer, horseback riding - and being silly ;) Jose and I love to support local so you will often find us out and about! We love our little town of Sanford with all its unique businesses, cultural offerings, and popular events. One of our favorite events is Sanford Porchfest in February.
We just finished building a home about a block away from this one, so we know this neighborhood inside out! We feel at home here, even though both Jose and I moved here from far away: Germany (Claudia) and Colombia (Jose). We enjoy traveling so we understand how important it is for guests to find a place that will make them feel at home. That's what we attempted when creating this very space! We selected only the best quality (mattresses, linens, furniture, etc.) and created a cozy inside and outside area where you can enjoy spending time with each other, or just relax and soak in the surroundings!

Why they chose this property

This home is located in popular Historic Downtown Sanford, just on the edge of the residential historic district with its beautiful historic homes and surrounded by beautiful majestic trees. From here you are only a couple of walking minutes away from bars, breweries, restaurants and shops! The Sanford Marina and Riverwalk are also within close reach. There is so much to explore here and you can do it all right from your doorstep!

What makes this property unique

At this place you are right in the middle of everything and won't need a car at all while visiting Downtown Sanford. 5mins from Sun rail 10mins from Sanford International Airport 25min to Downtown Orlando 30mins to Orlando International Airport 30mins Universal studios & Island Adventures 45min to Daytona / New Smyrna Beaches 45mins to Disney 50min to Kennedy Space Center/Cocoa Beaches
