About this property

Fully Renovated "Old Florida" Apartment

This charming apartment lies in an old, well-established, friendly, safe, and quiet Sanford neighborhood surrounded by expansive grounds, mature live oak trees, and colorful gardens. Downtown Sanford is an easy 16-block walk or bike ride passing historic, restored residences. Once downtown, you'll encounter seemingly endless sightseeing, shopping, dining, and relaxation opportunities in our many varied and unique shops, restaurants, pubs, and micro-breweries.

The grounds and gardens offer a pleasant environment to stroll and a popular venue for photographing bridal reveals and engagements.

The private apartment exudes an "old Florida" feel, boasting original pickled cypress paneling, large living room and bedroom, and a newly-remodeled, full kitchen. Two outside decks offer leisurely relaxation in a garden setting with views of the 1-acre grounds and park across the street. The bedroom has a reading area, desk & chair, and a king-size bed. The living room has seating for nine and a 40" flat-panel "smart" television with over-the-air channels and basic free video streaming. If you have a compatible streaming account, you can log in with your credentials and enjoy those services. We also provide free high speed Wi-Fi Internet access.

We are on a 2-block long street with a "tee" intersection at each end, where traffic is minimal and "well-behaved". Ample parking is always available on the street.

Old fashioned Florida
Super nette Gastgeber. Wohngegend gleich neben dem historic district sehr schön, ruhig und keine Hochhäuser. Schöne alte traditionelle Häuser und Wohngegend. Trotzdem alles was man braucht auch fussläufig erreichbar, was untypisch ist für Amerika. Gut ausgestattete Küche mit Gewürzen, Kaffee und Tee. Alles topp - nix zu meckern. Wir können es nur empfehlen.

How Many Ways Can We Say "PERFECT" ??
Gorgeous neighborhood and home with a superbly appointed apartment for us to spend our week. The hosts were warm and inviting and I believe we have made new friends with these folks :) We give a 5 star plus rating to this stay and we look forward to booking with them every time we come to Sanford, which is a delightful town. Thank you to the Millers for making our daughter's wedding celebration week fabulous!

Nice apartment, everything we needed
Great location in Sanford. Nice quiet neighborhood. Street parking in front of the main house. It wouldn’t be ideal if it was rainy due to the trek through the yard, around the house, and up the stairs across the deck though. Very clean and had everything you could need. Completely stocked kitchen and bathroom. Great little desk area. Two nice decks for relaxing. Comfy bed with nice linens. Nice swing in a big tree in the garden area you walk through to get to the apt. But don’t sit in it. They’ll turn the sprinklers on you.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah & John Miller

Host profile image
After spending over half of our lives in New Hampshire, we bought our winter residence in Sarah's home town of Sanford, Florida. After years of retirement, we embarked upon Sarah's long-time dream of converting our in-law apartment to a vacation rental.

Why they chose this property

We are located in an old, historic Sanford neighborhood within easy walking distance of downtown. The property offers a serene and relaxing environment with expansive views of the grounds, gardens, and a local park from the two large decks. We have watched the Sanford community evolve into a thriving center for shopping, dining, and numerous celebrations and cultural events. Sanford is rapidly becoming a focal point for eclectic, upscale restaurants and micro-breweries.

What makes this property unique

We strive to provide a safe, healthy, and allergen-free living space. We use no harsh chemicals for cleaning and laundry. In addition, we run an ozone air purifier between each occupancy. Smoking (including "vaping") is not permitted in the residence, on the decks, or on the grounds of the property. We are a pet-free, smoke-free environment.

Orlando-Sanford International Airport (SFB) is only two miles away, Orlando is a 25 mile drive, and the numerous theme parks and attractions are about 45 miles away on major, limited-access highways.

New Smyrna Beach, Daytona Beach, and Merritt Island are 30, 40, and 70 miles away, respectively, where you can enjoy beach relaxation, casual dining, ocean swimming, and surf fishing. In addition, Merritt Island offers a vast wildlife sanctuary and fishing in Mosquito Lagoon, and the neighboring Kennedy Space Center provides fascinating presentations of our space exploration experiences.
