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.

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.

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)

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.

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

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.

I wasn’t going to submit a complaint but the owner never responded to my note. I will never return to this place. We arrived and it was 52 in the house. It was unseasonably cold but that’s no excuse for not having a heat source in the house except for the bedrooms and those heaters weren’t even turned on! We never could sit in the living room without coat and hats on. The kitchen is substandard if you intend to cook. The fridge doesn’t work properly, a stove burner is out, the cooking ware is awful, etc. Lastly, the heaters above the bed make an awful sound and it’s hard to sleep. We’ve stayed in many rentals over the years, and I’ve never complained. Do not stay here. There are much better places available.
