We came down for our Christmas holiday, and with our kids now grown, it was a special time for us to reconnect. The location and space were perfect, and we loved having access to the bikes and pool. The extra touches, coffee, s’mores, games, movies, books, and the beautiful Christmas decorations made it feel like everything we needed was already there for a truly relaxing and special stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the retreat and felt completely at home. We will definitely be back in the future.

About the host

Host profile image

As a native central Floridian I have enjoyed the many attractions and amenities Sanford and the surrounding areas have to offer. My family and I are very happy to have a quiet and peaceful retreat home to offer out of town guests so they can explore and enjoy what our natural Florida landscape and attractions have to offer. From boating and skiing or wakeboarding to nature trails, state and national parks and theme/ amusement parks or Daytona Raceway and beaches, this location is central to them all. Bring your toys and come enjoy Natural Seminole County and Sanford/ Central Florida!!

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is a great central area surrounded by both beaches and attractions such as state and national parks and Disney, Universal, studios, downtown Orlando and many others. My favorite part is the Sanford riverwalk by the St. Johns river and Lake Monroe that is great for sunrises and sunsets and activities such as biking, skating, and walking!

What makes this property unique

Our property is minutes away from the Cross Florida Trail that connects the East and West coasts of Florida!! This unique trail offers bike riders or seasoned walkers the ability to walk across florida without worrying about vehicle traffic!!
