About this property

Alderwood lake house Sanford/Orlando near SFB

Our lovely home overlooks Lake Ada in Sanford, Florida. This lake is a hidden gem just 10 minutes drive to Sanford International Airport SFB. Cozy and comfortable setting, in the midst of all that Sanford has to offer.

This comfortable home updated laminate floors, a large master suite with private bathroom. This is a split bedroom plan with the master on the opposite side of the home as the other bedrooms for added privacy. There are two full bathrooms and a nice screened porch overlooking the lake.

There are two flat screen smart TV's in the home. One in the family room and one in the master bedroom. We have many local channels available via antenna along with Netflix and many other viewing options available through the smart TV. You are also welcome to watch movies that we keep on site.

Very spacious, clean and comfortable. Definitely enjoyed mornings on the dock and evenings on the lanai. Location was close to the airport and our wedding venue, as well as downtown Sanford. It was a pleasure to meet the owner (Jay) and have a welcoming conversation with him. Would definitely rent here again!

We came to FL with another couple for the Daytona 500 and a couple of days at Disney - this house was in a perfect location for both! It was very clean, well stocked, and the beds were comfortable. The screened-in back patio was wonderful for morning coffee. The host was very responsive to a couple of questions we had. We would definitely stay here again!

Everything was satisfactory and the kitchen had everything we needed. Area was peaceful and quiet. There may be a problem with the one smoke detector between the 2 room because one time the other smoke detector went off, but that one did not. Would stay there again.

Sorry about the smoke detector chirping. I wish I had known and I would’ve addressed it immediately. Again, sorry for the inconvenience.

About the host

Hosted by Jay Davidson

Host profile image
We are part time missionaries who have led medical and other mission teams all over the world; focusing for the last few years on the fight against the horrible crime of Human Trafficking. We work through our local church and Teresa has founded "Chains Interrupted" which works locally, nationally and world wide to increase awareness as well as real prevention, rehabilitation and even rescue.
We love to travel and have children in 5 states.

Why they chose this property

When we found this hidden gem on a private water ski lake (Jay is an avid skier), we knew it was the home for us. We like to be close to the Sanford Airport as we travel through there a lot.
We have a second home on this lake (VRBO #2054498) and a third home on the smaller lake in the same neighborhood (VRBO #2422057)
