Cast a line on Lake Monroe (one of Florida's top largemouth bass lakes), rent a kayak, take an airboat tour to spot manatees and gators, or sail with U-SAIL of Central Florida.
By night, dig into schnitzel at Hollerbach's German pub or sip your way through Sanford's award-winning craft breweries — Sanford Brewing, Deviant Wolfe, Wop's Hops, Dees Brothers. Bring the kids to the Central Florida Zoo, splash pad at Fort Mellon Park, or stroll the riverwalk at sunset.

Mayfair Country Club is a 14-minute walk for golfers, and Wekiwa Springs is 35 minutes away for swimming and hiking.
Stay where the locals stay. Wake up slow. Drive in for the parks when you feel like it.

Great location and very well kept. Perfect for hosting a family on need of beds. Very comfy beds! Kitchen fully loaded . Great stay and would come again!
This property was perfect for our family. We love the eclectic layout, plenty of room for a large family and very clean. Great communication with the property management.
The location was fantastic to get downtown. Plenty of space for all 8 adults on our trip. The host was responsive and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay very much!
A great place to hang out with adult family members. Conveniently located to lots of activities and food options. Jorge was very prompt in replying to messages.
We had a wonderful stay! The place was incredibly spacious and located in a great area. Everything went smoothly—all was well from start to finish. Highly recommended.

"Perfect guests! Left the place spotless and were a joy to host. Welcome back anytime!"
Excellent property. Clean and welcoming. Easy communication with host. Close to wife’s family. Very pet friendly. Large fenced backyard. Quiet neighborhood and friendly neighbors. All systems operated without incident - kitchen, baths, laundry, HVAC, TV. No question about staying there again and recommending to others.
This house has everything you need. It has plenty of space. Comfortable rooms. I have to say that the house is actually bigger than what the actual photos showed. Everyone in my trip had privacy and felt comfortable.The host was easy to reach out during our stay. Enormous backyard if you are traveling with dog. Appreciated the light features with sensors, specially when walking at night. Didnt get a chance to use the kitchen but it has everything you need for a long stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
I have never written a bad review and I am a frequent user of VRBO, but I have never stayed in a place that was as bad as this:1) The big dining room is really in a decorated garage attachment/breezeway. They closed it in with only two screen doors and curtains to cover the screens. There is no heat or air in that big room. It definitely does not feel safe.2)The small bathroom has only some torn black paper as a curtain over the window.3) The window unit in the master bedroom only blew warm air and the filter was filthy.4) There was no threshold in the master bedroom. It had almost a 2" gap under the door that heat and lizards kept coming in so we had to jam the rug under it every time we closed it.5) The door in the master bedroom leading to the yard (with the missing threshold) was only attached with one good hinge at the top and the bottom hinge was only in with a nail. The door ended up falling off and we had to go buy a screwdriver to reattached the bottom hinge.6) The rug, sofa and chairs were filthy.7) The yard is big, but there is absolutely NO lighting outside the house, so bring a flashlight. Also, there were bags of lawn debris and beer bottles left in the yard. 8) The dining room chair almost collapsed when I sat in it and I am only 115 lbs. The leg of the chair was loose and barely hanging on.I could go on, but why bother. Safe yourself the misery and rent another place.
The stay overall was very good...but not excellent.The house met our basic needs. It was a very nice neighborhood, quiet and walkable.We visited the zoo and the local museum during the week.There were a few concerns- tight bathroom space for our 5 person visit - 2nd bath really small and faucet is motion activated which is basically useless in a house bathroom - not sure how 8 people would manage.- unkept backyard - garbage bags around, bottle caps, pitted backyard- kinda dirty when we arrived - half full coffee mug on entry table, fingerprints throughout kitchen area- just enough silverware - certainly not enough for the full capacity positives - - back bedroom is huge - plenty big for us and dogs/crates - but only access to backyard is through this bedroom- backyard is fenced so dogs can roam freely- easy access to major routes to Orlando and Daytona- well stocked kitchen for cooking (only needs measuring cups and spoons)- we never ran out of hot water after consecutive showers

Thank you for the detailed feedback — I appreciate you taking the time to share it.
I’ve already followed up with our cleaning and lawn teams to ensure those items are fully addressed. That’s not the standard we aim for.
I’m glad you enjoyed the neighborhood and location access, and we’ll continue refining the guest experience.
Thanks again for staying with us.
