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.
One exterior security camera monitors the stairway leading to the north deck of the Rooftop Garden Apartment.

About the host
Hosted by Sarah & John Miller

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. 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.
