    Place was amazing, very well equipped home. Eclectic style with a mix of old Florida home meets modern amenities. Beds are very comfy, house is nice and spacious. Has an in law sweet great for anyone needing some privacy in your group. Host is very helpful, area is nice and only 30 minutes from Orlando, Frloida springs and many other things to do. Down the street from downtown Sanford which is beautiful and has many parks and a vast lake to see. Highly recommend to stay here.

    The location was excellent. The neighborhood was quiet. The house was just as described and exceeded our expectations. Sara contacted us when a storm knocked out electric and wifi for a bit and kept us updated. The home is warm and is kind of a step back in time but up to date at the same time. The guest apartment is a bonus as well as the balcony. We have stayed at many Vrbo homes and some were great and others just okay. But we will definitely visit this one again. It is a gem.

    The space was perfect for 4 adults and 4 kids to spread out and have space. Every bed was slept in and every person raved about how comfortable they were. Everything was clean and inviting and the location couldn’t be beat.

    Lots of Southern Charm! What a lovely home to stay at over a four day weekend, where our extended Family from Wisconsin traveled and gathered for a family funeral! We really appreciated the large kitchen, living room and dining area, which gave us a wonderful space to spend time together and process our family’s loss. The upstairs screen porch was so nice to sit and visit in the evenings! There is nice large tv and L-couch, where some of our group were able to catch the end of the Packer/Lions game.The host was more than accommodating with all of our needs and we appreciated that the driveway fit 3 vehicles very easily. Highly recommend for any family!

    This property is in a very convenient location close to downtown Sanford activities, restaurants, and grocery stores. The host has thought of everything you'll need for a getaway. We loved sitting around the big kitchen table with everyone in the open floor plan area. The separate upstairs sleeping area was perfect for the couple who needed a little more space. We felt safe in the area and enjoyed our neighborhood walks. I highly recommend this house.

    We were very pleased with the accommodations. 3 bedroom and 2 baths in main house and a quaint efficiency with separate entrance from house. Worked very well for our needs. Also had 3 pups who were safe to roam outside since it was securely fenced. Definitely would recommend for a larger group

    Twelve Family members from Ohio, South Carolina, and Florida gathered together to spend a week celebrating our mother/aunt/grandmother/great grandmother 90th birthday. Seven of us stayed at the Sunshine Cottage. It was perfect!! Located close to Sanford Historic district, grocery store a few blocks away, Winter Park and Disney within 45 minutes away as well as convenient Sanford and Orlando airports. The cottage is immaculately clean and has all the amenities you will need. We made so many wonderful memories. This is the perfect cottage for a family celebration.
