Sanford's Serene Sanctuary

BrianRating, 5 stars5 days ago

We enjoyed our weekend getaway with our entire family. It provided us a time to unwind and get away from the hustle. The home was well kept, super clean, and a very enjoyable place to unwind. Dan was outstanding throughout and communicated clearly with us from the beginning. The sunroom/bird watching room was simply amazing -- I will come back here just for that one room! A definite return from our family.

Oaks At Sanford

NicoleRating, 5 starstoday

Our big family (5 kiddos) had a great stay at this Airbnb. The house is so spacious and we were all comfortable. The backyard is wonderful. The patio and sitting area was enjoyed every day we were there. The beds were comfortable and there was a welcome basket with some waters and snacks that made tired kiddos very happy after a long drive. Would definitely recommend!

Elegant 1910 Boutique; Crib; Veteran-Owned

AnnaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

My friends and I had a lovely stay at this Airbnb. It was spotless and looked like the pictures. Loved how cute it was decorated. Also did a load of laundry and that was a nice bonus to have laundry access. It’s a short drive to restaurants and the neighborhood is pretty quiet. My only warning is DONT back into driveway. There’s quite a dip and we learned the hard way. Other than that amazing stay!
