Very Comfortable Home Away From Home!

This was the second time my husband and I (from Michigan) chose this cottage for our winter stay in Florida. And we were not disappointed! It has everything you need for a comfortable and cozy stay, and the hosts respond quickly to questions. It is as attractive as it looks in the photos. Look no further - this is a great choice for your stay in Sanford!

We had a wonderful get-away at this adorable historic cottage. We will definitely consider returning. It was comfortably decorated and had everything we could possibly need. The neighborhood is well maintained, full of old growth trees, and peaceful. Really lovely. The hosts, Kim and Pete, were both welcoming and helpful. Thank you! Beth and J.P.

Perfect historic cottage

My wife and I spent 8 days here and we were sad we had to leave. The cottage was spotless and well decorated. It had everything we needed. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. We loved sitting on the side porch. We loved the neighborhood with all the historic homes. They were all so well maintained and a joy to look at. We loved walking the river walk. One day while we were walking it we spotted 4 manatees, that was a big treat. The owners were very attentive and pleasant. There wasn’t anything we didn’t like about our stay. We would definitely stay again if in the area.

Fantastic Cottage stay in Historic Sanford

The cottage was perfect for us and exactly as advertised. It was extremely clean and well supplied. There are so many places to dine and shop within a few minutes walking time of the house. You felt safe walking in the neighborhood as it is historic and well maintained. The bed was very comfortable, and the entire house was maintained meticulously. We highly recommend this place for anyone that's looking for a clean, quiet and comfortable place to stay in Sanford. We hope to stay there again in the future.

Perfect cottage in the Historic District

My spouse and 2 kids stayed for a week in this beautiful 2 bedroom. We particilarly loved the side portch, screened room and outdoor patio. The location is right by a couple parks and a short drive or walk to the downtown district and shoreline of Lake Monroe. The hosts are very responsive and accomidating. I will definately be booking again when I return to Sanford.
