This host has thought of everything! Extra fans, coffee, comfy blankets and sunscreen at the door. She knows how to enjoy this great, friendly town and doesn't hold back. We loved our stay in Sanford and this was the perfect place in the center of it all.

Super cute historical home in such a groovy little town with a fun downtown area. There was an adorable porch with lights, and everything was walkable. Oh, and a white noise machine. Great place!

We stayed for 5 nights in order to attend a wedding in Sanford. We loved the location close to breweries and places to eat. We did not have a rental vehicle and got everywhere we needed by foot or Uber/Lyft. The place had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Down to the nice big umbrella we used the last night we were there as it was pouring out! We liked hanging out on the front porch, which is also where I practiced yoga two mornings. We also loved the bed; it was amazingly comfortable!! If you’re thinking of staying, don’t hesitate at all!

The house was great! Great location! Comfortable adjustable beds. The owner, Kristin, was amazing! Super responsive, friendly, and thought of everything we might need. If I thought of something I wanted, I opened a cabinet and there it was! She even went to the house to leave an extra beach towel for us before we arrived. I’d give her more stars if I could. Highly recommend!
