In Old Town Sanford, guests will find a medley of great restaurants, shops, and art galleries, with a monthly "Alive After Five" event with music, food trucks, and art walks. Sanford also has the picturesque, mile-long Riverwalk, lined with shade trees, gazebos, and swinging benches where visitors can relax on the grass under the sun.
The area is a delight for bird-watchers with a plethora of varieties in beautiful surroundings. Nearby Merritt Island National Refuge and the Audubon Raptor Center are each within a 90-minute drive from the cottage and offer a world of wildlife observations.
