The property was nice. Staff responded to our need to repair the toilet seat rapidly. Parking was small but easy. The room was nice, great kitchen. The seating was not the best. A little to low for us but otherwise ok. The bed was comfortable and the property was quiet.

The cottage I rented was outstandingly beautiful. for the most part it was very clean. Unfortunately, with absentee employers, there is always a missed cleaning opportunity, in this case the oven and stove wasn't cleaned. I alerted the owners and a terminal cleaning has been scheduled. Their next occupants will be very happy. I will definitely return on all of my visits to the Sanford area.

They do not have anyone on the property. We had issues with the air conditioner when we arrived. We called and texted and did not get a reply. We finally got it working. Later we had an issue with the tv and again called and texted and again no reply. After some time, we did get it working. Interesting decor, very eclectic but fun. Maybe a bit too busy with everything on the wall but certainly lots to look at. Would be nice in warm weather as lots of places to sit outside. Close to airport and Old Town.

The property itself was fine. I think that the property owners might have had a bad experience with previous renters. The welcome letter read much more like a list of don’t-even-think-about-doing items and the fines that would befall us if any of those things happened than a welcome. I emailed that morning and asked if we could get a check in of 2 instead of 4. The standard response was yes, but to be aware that a fee should be assessed for the convenience. Ok, that sounds fair. What I didn’t expect was the “thank you for allowing Park Place to charge an additional $145 to your CC” for that two hours that came thru later. That’s insane. For the amount I ended up paying for the night, including all the fees, we could have easily stayed at a very high end hotel. And gotten a complimentary breakfast.

Hi Kim, I checked into this for you and I do not see any additional fees charged for an early check-in, you were given that for free as a curtesy. The 145 charge on the day of arrival was to satisfy your remaining balance owed for the reservation. We only collected half of the total at the time of booking, to hold the room, and we collect the second half on the day of check-in.Regarding the "rules" you must be referring to the no smoking in the rooms, no pets on property, and quite hours after 10pm? We are sorry if these seemed excessive to you.

Convenient Location
This is in a great location. It's just a short walk away from the area restaurants. Also lots of shopping is just a short drive away. Interesting place, im curious about its history. Everything was clean. The bed matress seemed old and was not comfortable to us, but we would stay here again.

We stayed at the cottages because of its location and proximity to the music venue downtown and we like to support local businesses. It was great to walk! Our room was super cute 1 bed cottage with a kitchenette. There were a few downsides to our experience. The linens and pillows were terrible and didn't seem clean. There was one thin sheet and a super thin bed cover, no blankets. We were freezing since temps were in the 40's during our stay. With no one on-site, there was no where to turn. We had a terrible nights sleep. Also, being on the lower level, you could hear the folks above you walking around and there were lights on the property that stayed on all night that didn’t create a peaceful sleeping environment. The room rate seemed reasonable, yet got cheaper over time, but i couldn't adjust that. Be aware, they charge a cleaning fee $50. For that, the sheets had hair on them, but it was late and we were tired so we had to crawl in bed and shiver that night away trying to sleep.

The cottage is part of an old home so it has some quirkiness to it which one would expect and we didn't mind, sort of shabby chic I would say. The outdoor seating areas were charming. Parking was plentiful and easy. An easy 15-20 minute stroll through beautiful historic neighborhoods to the downtown area which has plenty of bars, restaurants and shops. The kitchen allowed us to eat in as well with full sized fridge, small range, and the basic pots, pans, dishes and utensils. Also, a washer/ dryer for convenience as well. Shockingly for an old FL home, we did not see 1 bug for the entirety of our stay. The only negatives that I could mention is that the windows were stuck shut, we would have like a little cool breeze, but I guess that lends to the no bugs and security. Also in the Ivy Cottage the vaulted ceiling was open to the bedrooms and living room so not much privacy as far as noise was concerned. Overall an enjoyable stay.

Quaint property convenient to downtown
Stayed on main level in Craftsman 1. The unit is very roomy with a full kitchen, living room with dining table, a laundry room and large bathroom. The shower is inside a garden tub so it could be challenging for some guests. We really enjoyed the outdoor patio that is spacious with two spaces for outdoor dining. The bed was very comfortable but traffic was a bit loud on Saturday night. It was much quieter on Sunday night. The property is quaint and a short drive to downtown. Check in and out was very smooth and there is a Publix less than 5 miles away. Will definately stay in this unit again in the future.

Beautiful vintage apartment!
The room was spacious with a private bath, sitting room, large bedroom, full kitchen, and laundry room. I loved the vintage atmosphere with the modern touches! The waterfall shower head was amazing but the bathtub is deep. If you have mobility issues this could be difficult. I had some trouble with the Wi-Fi but the staff was quick to resolve it. There are beautiful little garden spaces to sit outside and relax. I would absolutely stay here again!

This was our second stay here and we had an even better time than before. We spoiled ourselves with the Craftsman suite and were not disappointed! Everything was clean upon arrival. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking- just bring your food. Also includes a laundry unit for long stays. The bed is super plush and all the furniture was comfy. We were able to have a couple family members over for cards in the living area as well. The porch/garden area is so beautiful. We will def book this unit again next time!! The ONLY complaint I have is that when booking it was advertised as the whole unit but upon arrival we found out the top part was occupied. We choose the unit for privacy- which we for sure had behind a locked door for our unit. Just didn’t understand the booking system for this room. 2 people is the downstairs unit. More people BOOKED- more rooms. Just FYI.
