Guests keep coming back. Multiple reviewers mention booking a second or third stay at this home.
Welcome to the shed! This adorable 1910 historic bungalow will meet all your getaway needs. Come with your toys because this property has accommodations for your bikes, trikes, golf carts, and mid to small fishing boats. Come hang out at the fire pit with a special someone and stroll down to the local restaurants, shops, and bars.

The space
Downtown Sanford has a real Americana flavor of old and new. In the mood for good eats try The Original Christos or The Willow Tree Cafe. Have a night out just up the street at one of the many local breweries and cocktail bars that Sanford has to offer. If you enjoy fishing or just fresh water breezes on your face, Lake Monroe is waiting for you.

The Shed has all the comforts of home including a well appointed brand new kitchen, king size bed (with Purple Luxury Mattress. Search your web browser for Purple Mattress to learn more), washer dryer, walk in closet with plenty of storage, 2 TV's, plenty of dishes, towels, and sheets. The living room sofa pulls out into a full sized bed. The den has a lovely sitting area to kick back and relax with a good book and a bottle of wine. The front porch offers two beautiful white rocking chairs for that morning cup of coffee.

We look forward to having you come and stay at our historic home.

My happiest days are spent on the beach with family and friends. I enjoy playing ice hockey. Traveling has always been a passion of mine since a young age. Ive been to over 15 countries and am eager to visit more soon. My favorite experience in travel, whether domestic or international, is to emerge myself in the culture of the community. I like to study people, their habits, past times, cuisine, drink, and so forth.
