We loved this house! It was very clean and it was decorated very nice. You can tell they put a lot of effort into making this house feel comfortable. It was walking distance to historic downtown Sanford. All the instructions in the house were clear and it was well organized. The host was very responsive in answering questions. I highly recommend this house.

This place was great for our family who attended a wedding. Very clean and the decor was so entertaining. We enjoyed listening to records and being in the decorative kitchen. Michelle was very responsive and it was a great place to stay. Close to downtown as well!

Our family absolutely loved staying in Michelle's home. The retro decor was adorable, and the record player and vinyl collection was amazing. The home was very spacious and had everything we needed and more. The short walk to Downtown Sanford made the location ideal.

The house was perfect for our needs. It was exactly as the photos showed. Very tastefully decorated. We felt comfortable from the moment we walked in. It was within walkable distance from downtown historic Sanford and very convenient to get to all the highways. We had a small problem which Michelle was on the ball and had it sorted within minutes. I highly recommend to stay in this house and give five stars to Michelle for her hosting 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟
