Quaint stay in a quaint town! Loved my stay at The Sanford Foodie Guest House. It was perfect for my little getaway to visit friends and see Sanford at Christmas! Clean property, heat work well (it was a cold Fla night!), linens were clean, and bed was comfortable! Easy check in and check out process. Thank you, Rachel, I'll be back again!

Rachel was an excellent host, she was very responsive and addressed any of our needs very quickly. The space is small but comfortable. We were visiting friends close by and so it was super convenient. It was also a nice walk to downtown Sanford (about a mile or so)

Didn't stay long, but did love every minute of it! A beautiful little studio in the cutest neighborhood - kind of made me wish I lived in Florida! Loved it.

Perfect space

My son and I stayed in Sanford for one night to see a show at Theater West End and I chose this little guest house based mainly on proximity. It was exactly as described in the listing and was perfect to meet our needs. Super cute and convenient. The owner was very professional and communicative. I will definitely stay here again.

Sanford's hidden treasure.

What you see in the pictures is what you will get. The Sanford Foodie Guest House did not disappoint. A bit difficult to find at first as it is carefully tucked away following an unpaven path. It's a true gem hidden in plain sight. Clean, comfortable bed, spacious, and appropriately priced. I would definitely stay again! Rachel is a great host and responds quickly. Thank you for sharing this space ❤️ Clean, comfortable bed, and

We ended up not even staying there and had to find a room at another location. We did feel that that the area surrounding the property was properly displayed and we did not feel safe, as a women to stay there for the night.
