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.

Great Get Away Respite
My college daughter and I met for a couple days midway between us to get away. We had no idea what a great little town Sanford is! Our stay at the "Old Florida" apartment was just right-great location, extremely clean, great communication, lovely decor and thoughtful amenities. We took full advantage of the beautiful decks overlooking the gardens and loved being in the space. Highly recommend!

Cozily Eclectic Storybook Style
Conveniently appointed with everything you need to easily settle in… full kitchen and surprisingly large master and spacious shower bath. Dormer windows enable you to see all views, including your street parking. Private patio provided a spacious and beautiful view of extended manicured lawn in a lovely tree-lined neighborhood. Recommend bringing a hair dryer and luggage that’s easy to carry up two short flights of stairs—I will always choose the Rooftop Garden Apartment for my stays in historic, Stanford. Hosts are kind and responsive.. perfect!

Gorgeous
We loved the little apartment. I do have a few recommendations though. The left motion light for the bed was a bit bright and very sensitive so it woke me up a few times. And the trash can in the restroom would be better in my opinion simply for guests who are having their monthly visit with aunt flow. Everything was perfect otherwise. Thank you!

How Many Ways Can We Say "PERFECT" ??
Gorgeous neighborhood and home with a superbly appointed apartment for us to spend our week. The hosts were warm and inviting and I believe we have made new friends with these folks :) We give a 5 star plus rating to this stay and we look forward to booking with them every time we come to Sanford, which is a delightful town. Thank you to the Millers for making our daughter's wedding celebration week fabulous!

Nice apartment, everything we needed
Great location in Sanford. Nice quiet neighborhood. Street parking in front of the main house. It wouldn’t be ideal if it was rainy due to the trek through the yard, around the house, and up the stairs across the deck though. Very clean and had everything you could need. Completely stocked kitchen and bathroom. Great little desk area. Two nice decks for relaxing. Comfy bed with nice linens. Nice swing in a big tree in the garden area you walk through to get to the apt. But don’t sit in it. They’ll turn the sprinklers on you.

beautiful and comfortable
The property and the neighborhood are just enchanting. The inside of the VRBO was neat, pretty, and comfortable. The bed didn't hurt my back! Areas to improve: It would be nice to have a path to follow around to the stairs to the apartment. The railing on the stairs was a little splintery and the stairway a little overgrown. There were a few cobwebs and the shower wasn't the cleanest - a little mold, someone's hair. I would stay again though. I'd love to go at a time of year when the weather be more conducive to making use of the gorgeous deck. It really was like a story book every time we'd drive up to and walk around the property.

Cottage in the Trees
I absolutely loved my 4 night stay, top of the list for accommodations if I return to Sanford. A peaceful retreat in the trees everything you could possibly want or need in the cottage. The decor created a lovely atmosphere, and the deck was outstanding. Sarah is very kind, I think we could chat over coffee or a bottle of wine! Next time.

Peaceful get away
Rental was well appointed, cozy and comfortable. Loved the the private deck. John and Sarah made sure my husband and I felt welcome. What would have made the stay that much nicer was a softer bed and the bedroom darker at night. There was a lot of light coming in from the street lights and flood light. Overall I would recommend it to friends and would go back for a short visit.

Beautiful surroundings, everything you need, I would’ve enjoyed a larger television to watch movies etc. and the round table very was awkward to maneuver also AND MOST IMPORTANTLY none of the windows had black out so we were forced to have the light of the neighbor shining on us all night but overall , lovely , peaceful and fab I would definitely return

This was our second time at this property and it was another amazing experience! The apartment is perfect for the two of us. It's immaculately clean and so very comfortable. Although John and Sarah were not there, they had thought of everything. There was water in the fridge, and tea on the counter. This will be our new go to place in Florida!
