Great Location for Exploring

The Sanctuary Den is located just minutes from historic downtown Sanford, known for its vibrant local scene.

Nearby attractions include:

• Sanford Riverwalk along Lake Monroe

Privacy & Host

The Sanctuary Den is a separate guesthouse located behind the main home where I live.

The backyard sits between the two buildings, creating a natural buffer that allows guests to enjoy a comfortable and independent stay.

I’m nearby if needed and always happy to help, but my goal is to give guests plenty of space to relax and enjoy their visit.

Note: There are external cameras on property, the cameras are used to provide additional security for everyone coming and going at The Sanctuary Den at Sanford.

Sherise is an amazing host with great communication. Everything about this cottage was fantastic. Everything was very clean and there were little extras around. We forgot our charging block but there were USB and USB-C plugs throughout the space. I loved the motion censored lighting in the kitchen and bathroom spaces. It was gentle lighting that popped on and was really helpful when dark. We highly recommend a stay here.We were attending an event in Downtown Sanford. It was a comfortable, leisurely 30 minute walk for us.
