Twelve Family members from Ohio, South Carolina, and Florida gathered together to spend a week celebrating our mother/aunt/grandmother/great grandmother 90th birthday. Seven of us stayed at the Sunshine Cottage. It was perfect!! Located close to Sanford Historic district, grocery store a few blocks away, Winter Park and Disney within 45 minutes away as well as convenient Sanford and Orlando airports. The cottage is immaculately clean and has all the amenities you will need. We made so many wonderful memories. This is the perfect cottage for a family celebration.

Very comfortable & relaxing place to stay.
Its very cute, reminds me of the old Florida homes of the 20s (I've seen in pictures) but very well kept up and all the modern conveniences. I loved the deck off the upstairs bedroom, perfect place for morning coffee.

The home was very comfortable for all of us!!
We loved looking at all the antiques and mature trees shading the patio and decks were so calming! My 83 year old father struggled with the low toilet in the downstairs bathroom, but if we had a raised toilet seat with us, that would have taken care of the problem.

Stay Here!
This home was the perfect getaway. We really felt like we were on vacation. It was spacious enough to complete all the preparations for a wedding; the decor was fabulous; all parties had their own private spaces; the owner was very accommodating, even bringing us last-minute items for our impromptu beach trip. Our family would stay here again.

Best vacation rental experience ever!
We loved our time here! Sara was super flexible with us and has provided a beautiful home away from home for people visiting the area. The house is beautiful and has everything we needed for our 5 day stay for 6 people plus our two year old granddaughter. All the beds were super comfortable, the bedding and towels were high quality, and we found all the basic supplies we needed were provided. It was a perfect mix of vintage and updated, with all the latest gadgets, plus tons of great records from the 70s and 80s and vintage toys and games for your downtime. Definitely recommend!!!

Great home! Unexpected treasure
Love this quaint home near downtown. Easy drive to many places in and out of town. Beds were very comfortable and the screened in porch and hammock were a family favorite. We would love to come back!

Beautifully rustic and authentic
Six adults, one child, and two small dogs in our party and there was plenty of room. I will rent this property again. There were a few things not perfect but this is a historic property and we knew that at the beginning.

Great stay!
The host was so helpful, patient and friendly as I worked thru using the app. The place was very cute and historic, on a quiet street. My teenager enjoyed the piano, guitar and record player. Me and my husband enjoyed the screened in balcony and entire upstairs floor of the master bedroom and bathrooms. Plenty of board games for the kids, they enjoyed the hammock out front as well. The only thing to complain about would be the plumbing for the toilets lol, had to keep using the plunger for the downstairs toilet.
