Nice house on the outskirts of the “heart” of historic Sanford. House was clean and had all the amenities we needed for a weekend stay for a baseball tournament.

Clean with lovely music themed living room. When we arrived around 4:30 PM temperature inside house 92 degrees. After 6 hours and sun gone down hours before, VRBO finally moved us. They had problems with owner not answering phone calls or texts. Next day, with 3 way call between owner, us, and VRBO, the owner blamed us for opening front door for “two hours” and letting air that was cooler outside than inside in. Not so. Door was open while we unloaded car, closed, and when a/c not cooling we opened door while we ate dinner outside on cooler porch. Owner told us via text to close front door, which we did. Not open for more than 1 hour total. By the time we left at almost 11 PM, the temperature with a/c running constantly had just dropped to 89 a few minutes before. Three degrees in 6 hours! By the time we relocated, it was after 12:30 AM when we got to bed. Also, a little strange that extra bathroom attached to twin trundle bed guest room off living room, not the master bedroom. That room also had a TV, the master bedroom did not. Location was good, near several VRBO’s we had previously rented over the years that were unavailable that weekend. This place would have been okay for the weekend, the problem was when the owner blamed his broken a/c attitude on us the next day. I would VRBO again for their handling of the problem, but not with this owner again.

A True Haven

Our stay at Sanford’s Haven was absolutely wonderful. The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. Everything felt comfortable and thoughtfully arranged, making it easy to settle in and relax right away. I loved the decor - the hosts added music touches which is so appropriate for the Sanford area because i actually went there to see a band i love. The Tom Petty Portrait was amazing. (personal fav) The location was fantastic — convenient to downtown Sanford, restaurants, and local attractions, yet still peaceful and quiet. I just can't believe how charming the space is from the beautiful sun room to the forth porch where you can enjoy breakfast or a coffee. My kids loved hot cocoa on the porch swing. If you are traveling with kids, it is a perfect spot the host provided some fun backyard games and there is a privacy fence in the yard so they can safely play. Communication with the host was excellent from start to finish. They were responsive, helpful, and made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I can't tell you how cozy this house is. My family can't wait to go back. I am not normally a long review person - but this house just had such warmth and wonder I had to share. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend Sanford’s Haven to anyone visiting the area. (ps kids park is in walking distance with a butterfly garden) The riverwalk was really nice too.
