About this property

Alderwood lake house Sanford/Orlando near SFB

  • Our lovely home overlooks Lake Ada in Sanford, Florida. This lake is a hidden gem just 10 minutes drive to Sanford International Airport SFB. Cozy and comfortable setting, in the midst of all that Sanford has to offer.

    This comfortable home updated laminate floors, a large master suite with private bathroom. This is a split bedroom plan with the master on the opposite side of the home as the other bedrooms for added privacy. There are two full bathrooms and a nice screened porch overlooking the lake.

    There are two flat screen smart TV's in the home. One in the family room and one in the master bedroom. We have many local channels available via antenna along with Netflix and many other viewing options available through the smart TV. You are also welcome to watch movies that we keep on site.

Very spacious, clean and comfortable. Definitely enjoyed mornings on the dock and evenings on the lanai. Location was close to the airport and our wedding venue, as well as downtown Sanford. It was a pleasure to meet the owner (Jay) and have a welcoming conversation with him. Would definitely rent here again!

Everything was satisfactory and the kitchen had everything we needed. Area was peaceful and quiet. There may be a problem with the one smoke detector between the 2 room because one time the other smoke detector went off, but that one did not. Would stay there again.

Relaxing Getaway

The home is centrally located to everything you'll need, felt welcoming, and has a great view of Lake Ada. The dock is great to just sit and relax or go fishing. Neighbors are friendly and kind. We stayed 4 nights and already thinking about rebooking later in the year.

Perfect place for our stay!

We came up for a family wedding, location was just 12 minutes away so that was great! The place was perfect for our stay, we made a weekend out of it and drove a short 30 min to blue springs which was amazing! Backyard has a beautiful lake view, we even had dinner out on the dock one night! Host was super accommodating and we had everything we needed. Would stay again if we’re ever back in the area!
