This was a nice place, spacious easy to get to, easy parking and close to the downtown bars and restaurants, we didn’t try the restaurant that’s in the cottages but we’ll give it a shot next. Overall we had a good experience.

Charming wonderful place to stay!

This was a charming place to stay. Beautiful character and great amenities. My only downside is we did not find the wifi info but that is probably because we didn’t look in the right place. We had the upstairs of the craftsman and it was 2 bedrooms with 3 baths. Perfect for our group.

Another wonderful stay. The room feels like it should cost far more than it does and the property is walking distance to downtown Sanford. I'll probably be back in the next couple months for a little getaway weekend. Live this property

Would stay again!

We had the best time. Sanford is so cute and we loved exploring downtown. Check in directions were very clear and easy. The size and quality of the suite was well worth the price. We are already figuring out dates to come back.

Convenient Location

This is in a great location. It's just a short walk away from the area restaurants. Also lots of shopping is just a short drive away. Interesting place, im curious about its history. Everything was clean. The bed matress seemed old and was not comfortable to us, but we would stay here again.

The property was nice. Staff responded to our need to repair the toilet seat rapidly. Parking was small but easy. The room was nice, great kitchen. The seating was not the best. A little to low for us but otherwise ok. The bed was comfortable and the property was quiet.

We enjoyed the spacious and lovely accommodations. Everything was cozy and convenient. The bathroom needed some additional cleaning and repairs and we did not use the dish rack because it had not been recently clean. I would still highly recommend the property!

Sanford Area is Worthwhile

Old, but some updating, especially in the kitchen area. Clean, but did have one roach issue. Location ok heading toward the downtown area, which is very nice for tourists; be watchful elsewhere. Traffic in central Florida a nightmare.

Beautiful vintage apartment!

The room was spacious with a private bath, sitting room, large bedroom, full kitchen, and laundry room. I loved the vintage atmosphere with the modern touches! The waterfall shower head was amazing but the bathtub is deep. If you have mobility issues this could be difficult. I had some trouble with the Wi-Fi but the staff was quick to resolve it. There are beautiful little garden spaces to sit outside and relax. I would absolutely stay here again!

The cottage I rented was outstandingly beautiful. for the most part it was very clean. Unfortunately, with absentee employers, there is always a missed cleaning opportunity, in this case the oven and stove wasn't cleaned. I alerted the owners and a terminal cleaning has been scheduled. Their next occupants will be very happy. I will definitely return on all of my visits to the Sanford area.

The room was clean and spacious. Coffee maker did not flow and in fact overflowed. I think there is a piece missing or not the correct pot for that unit. Thankfully, there was a french press. :-) Overall, we enjoyed our stay but because of the busy, noisy road right next to it, would rethink whether we would stay there again. Location was great and we love the historic district.

Liked: Cleanliness
It was a darling small apartment with flowers painted on the ceiling, very clean, with 2 small bedrooms, queen size beds, very small bathroom, LR & kitchen separated by the kitchen bar. We appreciated that it was close to the historic district & the airport. The bathtub bottom was slick & needs a rubber mat for safety. Plumber required to fix the faucet in the tub. Need a step stool to climb up into the high bed in one room, & there were no dish towels to dry dishes. We didn't find any bottled water to make coffee.
