Quiet neighborhood close to Downtown Sanford

Located in old Mayfair: 3 bedroom home one block from Lake Monroe and a half a mile from downtown Sanford's Night life. 5 Miles from Orlando/Sanford Airport, 30 min to the beach and 45 minutes to the theme Parks. Built in 1956, terrazzo and hard wood floors are through out. We have Eagles, Hawks, Turkey and Sand hill cranes as frequent visitors. Large fenced back yard provides privacy. Ideal location yet in a quite neighborhood. The home is comfortable and welcoming.

Nice but not great.
Property description was not misleading. Home is in a short distant to the riverwalk which was beautiful and fun. However, the home is older. Very strong musty odor due to moisture (we emptied the large dehumidifier daily, sometimes more than once). My daughter and I both had asthma issues during our stay. However, home has a lot of great features inside. Very roomy. It's just older (as described). House is pet friendly. We chose it for the fenced in back yard, but several areas of the fence are missing so it is not secure. The backyard and exterior need some attention. The large presence of bushes and rotten fruit on the ground in some areas did have us concerned about critters with our pets. Nevertheless, customer service was excellent. Location was good. We most likely won't stay again strictly due to the air quality of home.

Great Location
What a quite and lovely neighborhood. Easy stroll to the lake waterfront with your 1st cup of coffee/tea in the morning is a fantastic way to start your day. Kitchen was well stocked with all the tools you need to cook in and plenty of nearby places to eat out if thats what works for you. Beds were comfortable and plenty of towels available. Great home away from home.

We would return
Reviewing our stay is complicated. When we arrived at the property after thirteen hours on the road, we were more than ready to rest our heads. I followed the check in instructions to the letter: “Please text me at this number and I will give you the check in code.” My texts went unanswered. I reached out to VRBO and was told the same thing. By now, we’d been in our cars for twenty minutes, needing to use the bathroom and growing increasingly anxious about our lodging for the night. Finally VRBO gave me a backup telephone number which I called and received the code. As we settled in, we found that there were only beds enough for five. We are a six-person family and so my youngest had to sleep on the uncomfortable living room sofa. The overall vibe of the place was very homey and relaxed, in spite of the fact that the wall hangings look like they came from a Red Roof Inn fire sale. There is a huge backyard and screened in porch—both very nice. We were there for a wedding and wound up entertaining twenty-four people the evening before we left. The house easily accommodated that many guests and the shelves have a bunch of board games, too. We cooked for everyone. The kitchen is nice, but it’s not very well stocked with tools—there were too many of some items, none of others. There were also some used coffee supplies—artificial sweeteners and old coffee. Similarly, the bathrooms are nice enough, but they were oddly stocked with half used shampoo and body wash bottles that looked like left overs from previous guests. Very strange. They could have been cleaner—there was garbage on the floor of the master bathroom. It would be good if the owner would provide more garbage bags, towels, and power strips. It’s an older house and the rooms have very few outlets. All that said, we would go back if we ever needed to be in Sanford again. The fact is, the home was comfortable and accommodated many people visiting at one time. Had it not been for the few hiccups, I’d have given it five stars.

Great house, awesome town
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for us and as advertised. The large fenced backyard was great for our dog, living spaces were comfortable and we really enjoyed the screened in porch on the cooler nights. Downtown Sanford is a fantastic little town with great restaurants, bars and breweries. It’s convenient location to Orlando and beaches make it a great place to stay in Central Florida, we will definitely be back when visiting this area!

4th of July Birthday/baseball getaway
We wanted a quiet place to stay in order to celebrate our sons 17th bday and my son had a baseball tournament @ Boombah Sports Complex so this place was absolutely perfect. Had all the things we needed and was conveniently located to downtown Sanford, and the Sports complex. EASY CHECK IN AND OUT and great communication throughout our stay. Would definitely stay again.

Great weekend getaway!
We had a great weekend getaway in this home. It is close enough to the Orlando theme parks while also being far away enough from the hustle and bustle of the city — which is exactly what we wanted. We explored the nearby springs and also spent two days at the parks. We brought a toddler (2 year old) and a small dog, and the home was safe for both of them. Debbie was very easy to reach for check in instructions. No complaints! Thanks again.

Lovely home in friendly quiet neighborhood
My husband and I had a long stay at this lovely spacious home that had everything we needed. It was a good location for our various activities and visits with friends. Our feline family member was welcomed and the lanai was a favorite of his and ours. Debbie was very helpful indeed and made our stay so much easier. The neighborhood is very quiet and neighbors are so friendly. We truly enjoyed the area, easy walking places and the events we attended.
