Good to know

Welcome to this brand-new home with a spacious open floor plan! Step into the cozy living room, which flows seamlessly into the fully-stocked eat-in kitchen. Off the kitchen, you'll find the main bedroom suite featuring a king bed, a twin bed, a desk, and a private en-suite bathroom. On the other side of the living room are two additional bedrooms, each equipped with two extra-long twin beds that can be pushed together to create a king bed if desired. The second full bathroom with a tub is conveniently located by these 2 bedrooms. The highlight of this home is the converted garage—a retro game room packed with fun! Enjoy basketball free-throw, skeeball, and vintage arcade games to keep everyone entertained for hours. Outside, the fully-fenced backyard offers a dining table and a charcoal grill (charcoal provided), perfect for enjoying meals al fresco.

Our family loved our time at Michelle’s home. It was welcoming and in a great location to enjoy everything that Sanford has to offer. The games in the garage space were a fun little addition. We will definitely be coming back.

Our stay at the Retro Arcade property in Sanford was awesome! We traveled from Minnesota to meet a new arrival to our family. We celebrated Christmas at the property on Saturday Jan 13th which was the same day the city of Sanford held their Christmas parade. We had 4 kids under the age of 12 and a few adults who think they are 12, so the arcade was an a great way to keep everyone busy. We are already looking at re-booking for the same time next year. Michelle is definitely a super host...thank you!

Michelle’s house was the perfect stay for us! We wanted to enjoy all the historic district in Sanford could offer. We could walk to everything each day, soooo many good shops, restaurants, bars and parks. The house was pristinely clean and the gaming area in the garage was just a bonus at the end of each day. The kitchen was fully stocked and there was plenty of parking. Would love to come back again!!!

Kids loved the garage arcade! Very cute park in walking distance and trails by the lake. Also restaurants and shops in walking distance. Easy to get to other Orlando attractions as well just a bit further to drive.
